Well, I think that's the point right there, isn't it?

No *one* person can really be representative of a large community of people. Clinton didn't represent all democrats, Dubya doesn't represent all republicans, neither of them represent(ed) all Americans, and Janet Parshall does not represent all Christians.

Sometimes though, each of them might say something with which we can connect. The real test is if we can admit to it when it comes from someone we would otherwise rather not be associated with.

There simply is no such thing as universal agreement in any situation.
