Reply #62: Knowing his record it doesn't change how he comes across to me... [View All]

He strikes me as very personable and I think most people could talk to him very easily. It doesn't change the fact that I think he'd be a horrible president and that his record backs that up.

I knew a lady a few years ago who was as nice as they come. She was friendly, outgoing and had a great sense of humor. But she was also homophobic, believed that women who had abortions should go to hell, thought a cross-dresser deserved to get beaten within an inch of his life and other repugnant beliefs. She still had a nice demeanor.

My dad came across as the biggest redneck there was. He liked country music, drove a pickup and could be the world's biggest asshole when he wanted to be. If you didn't know him, he came across as a typical country boy from the south. In fact, he was as liberal as most folks around here are.

These folks are examples of how surprising humans can be.
