I don't think you understand what the word neutral means. Joe the Revelator Feb 2016 #12

He shot it down because of lack of consensus. joshcryer Feb 2016 #17

He ruled that way because of the headache. joshcryer Feb 2016 #41

Neither Huerta or the Sanders supporter were neutral nadinbrzezinski Feb 2016 #45
