 What makes you think I cared to "back it up"? It is not a matter
 of opinion, nor is it a matter hidden from public view. Call the
 IBD and ask them if they ever did a comparison of Clinton and
 Dole. Find the article, and see if there isn't a paragraph about
 Clinton's father being an alcoholic.

 It's not like something I would bother to save. I did not see in
 on the web, one of my co-workers is a long time subscriber to
 IBD, and he showed me the article.

 BTW, he is now supporting Obama. Still subscribes to IBD, still
 considers himself conservative, he just recognized the disaster
 the McCain/Palin team is.

 I have seen a lot that organization has said since then. I have
 not yet found anything to change my opinion of them.

 The fact that you cannot show anything to contradict what I say
 about them, anything to show a non-partisan point of view, is
 enough evidence against them.

 BTW, back then one of my other co-workers brought in a copy of
 the American Legion magazine, with a comparison of the
 candidates. That one was one of the best evaluations I ever saw.
 Truly issue relevant, and non-partisan.
