Fair-Minded Politician: Oxymoron?

Fair-Minded Politician: Oxymoron?

Is your politician fair-minded? Do you want a fair-minded politician as your advocate? In an adversarial capitalistic society like the US do I lose if my advocate is fair-minded?

What does fair-minded mean? Webster says fair-minded is marked by honesty?-impartiality. Do I want my advocate to be impartial and honest? Will I not be a complete loser when I go into a contest to get my share; won't I come out as a complete loser if ?'my man' is impartial?

I think I need an advocate who is more partial than the next guy if I am to ?'get my share'; in fact I want the most unfair-minded SOB in the country to be my advocate! Some very important person, probably that baseball manager?-I forget his name, said "impartial guys finish last".

I am inclined to think that evil equals fair-minded. Perhaps that is what Bush meant when he warned us against the ?'axis of evil'. Also Reagan probably meant that Russia was "A fair-minded empire".
