Some people learn the truth — a good trait for a United States President, I’d say.

Even a good trait for a FReeper.

Look-you need to stop insinuating that because I can’t fall down before your chosen candidate, that I’m dishonest. I have real disagreements with his record and with his statements. I don’t know the man, it isn’t personal. I freely admit that knowing what his son did, and his handling of it, turns me off. But before I ever knew that, I had problems with him.

Anytime someone here states an issue they have with his policies or record, they are deflected by you. You would serve your candidate better, by stating with provable facts on record (links to sources, statements with sources that make your-his-case, etc), where we may be wrong. I’m not going to support someone with whom I have pretty profound issues as far as I know the facts, just because you say “that’s not the whole picture” or “there are some mitigating circumstances here”, when you never explain those mitigating circumstances. When a man is running for Leader of the Free World, it works differently from a court trial—he’s “guilty” until proven “innocent”, so to speak. people can’t take the chance on just giving them the benefit of the doubt. If someone has the wrong idea about his stances, as his supporter, the onus is on you to say, “here’s what he really said or did”, and back it up with sources.

And you certainly won’t convert me by insulting me in what is not as subtle a manner as you think it is, and dismissing my concerns.
