It's not easy to change basic political positions - nor should it be.
If you actually believe that statement there is no hope for you, then.
That's more than holding on to formed political beliefs, that's willful blindness. Even most Republicans abandoned Nixon when 'Watergate' blew open. It took awhile but they finally faced the truth, even if Nixon wouldn't.
Clinton was far more corrupted than Nixon ever dreamed of being, yet you claim you are still not be convinced that he is 'an unprincipled rogue'. That says a lot about where you are, politically.
No real hope that I can see. You probably really, truly believe that Gore 'won' and Bush 'stole' the election. Sad.
