Has been for as long as I've known him. Votes republican. This go 'round, he was supporting Santorum. Now he will vote for Romney. My dad is the most decent person I've ever met, or will ever hope to met. He has precisely ZERO enemies. Has never had one. If you had a problem with my dad, it was your problem...and everyone knew it. He doesn't have an indecent bone in his body. My dad is not a genius, but he's a smart guy..and he's lived and experienced a lot in his 82 years. My dad is also incapable of telling a lie. And if you asked him, he'd tell you, in his experience, he honestly believes that SOME..not all...but SOME of the core conservative values that most Republicans adhere too, are the best way to help the most people in this country. Period. I do no agree with my dad, necessarily. But every single time I hear people put down conservatives as evil or ignorant or not to be trusted or any other such thing...i invoke my "Dad Rule": The best, most sincere person on earth thinks it's pretty good. So it deserves my study and my respect....even as I may disagree with it. Everyone should have a similar rule that centers around someone in their life that they love and trust, who believes differently than them on an important matter. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:349994 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
