Mel and I got along fine.”
What a sad time we live in when it is assumed people with differences can’t get along.

Although Garner is a lifelong liberal Democrat, his oldest friend is a conservative Republican.
These days, most so called “ liberals “ won't even talk to you if you are a Republican. I have had clients who if they ever learned I was a Conservative won't ever buy from me.
An old pal of mine was a confirmed Democrat. Nothing really changed his mind and we'd argue all the time. He was a hard working, fun loving family man who'd always be around to help his friends.
I miss that guy a lot and consider him a first rate gentleman. Just because I did not agree with his politics didn't mean I could not see what made him a good man.
John Wayne did “Rooster Cogburn” with Katherine Hepburn who was about as liberal as they came. They got along just fine from reports I’ve read about the flick.
