THE RATIONAL NONPOLITICIAN
DOING WHAT IS BEST FOR THE COUNTRY

                                                                                                        
                                                                                                                                    
If there was a person without a bias, without a party to be loyal to (and limited to), without having to please people with pandering, what would that look like for creating the country that would be best for us all?

This is my attempt at adding some clarity to what is going on and what could be done.  (I recognize that it may only benefit me, in getting this out of my head and onto paper.)  Check out for yourself the truth and/or reasonableness of these ideas. (See About to understand my views and intent here.) The ultimate objective is not to be "fixed" in my ideas, but to provide a well-reasoned solution that has no political obfuscation.  See About The Site. (Your correction, input, contribution is encouraged.   Email me (see above) and/or post your rational and factual comments to the BLOG: Rational Political Dialogue.   If you get upset or oppositional or just plain wish to seek additional info, read Settling About Something You Disagree About and FACT CHECKING AND LESSONS and Sources Of Information.)

I added an "in-depth" site:  WhoRomneyIs.Com , which I did out of concern for people's well-being, and based on that I came to a conclusion as to who would be the best for the nation - it's not even close.  And I support gay rights and pro-choice - and I respect the values and beliefs of those who believe otherwise - but reality is clear as to what will occur.
