I get the same thing, people tell me that I'm a Republican with a heart, like they are surprised. I figure I am overcoming their prejudices one person at a time by setting a good example. I just don't undestand why everyone buys into that whole "mean-spirited" thing so easily. I guess if you hear it often enough.....
It's just propaganda...
We're all supposed to be rich and like Ebaneezer Scrooge.
