Reply To: Political Statements
About the only way to judge a persons character is by how well a persons actions match up with their words. I can respect someone who says he will do something I am totally against and does it more than I can someone who promises me he will do or refrain from doing something to get my vote then breaks his word. The first I might call a bit of a jerk for his beliefs, but the second I will call liar, and not be able to trust again, and that is a far worse accusation in my book.
Your mileage may vary of course…no matter what, I am glad to be in a country where I can have and express an opinion freely. And where you can too.
