Sometimes you can find a shred of humanity and people can surprise you
My brother is a republican. We were having dinner recently and just talking about things in general. He said he was at the convenience store/gas station and there was a woman "who must have had 6 kids under the age of 10" in her car. Now...knowing his politics...I could just IMAGINE where this was going. But I kept listening. He said she approached him and asked him for $10. She said her husband was beating her and she didn't have enough gas to make it to her mom's house. I asked him what he did. He replied "What was I supposed to do?" "I filled up her tank and gave her $20 and wished her Good Luck". I told him he had the makings of a good Democrat.:D

1. Things look very different, up close and personal
Rhetoric and ideology go by the wayside in a puff of smoke.

4. And a thank-you from me, too!
If more GOP-ers were like that, I might not have such a problem with them.
