Poor Dr. Republican, so misunderstood.

This is often my opening line to people who are shocked that I am a Republican. Then I follow it up, if anyone is still listening, with the assertion that we have a different way of caring for people. We want them to be all they can be, instead of just giving away stuff on a long-term basis.

We have to show we care for people. I'm afraid we give the general public the impression that we're simply selfish, hateful, and mean people who just resent the fact that other people are receiving benefits from the government. Too much vinegar and not enough honey will never draw flies, or voters.
