Reply #12: Seeing Him In Person Is What Really Won Me Over... [View All]

Call it being political, but there was something about him AND his family that really drew me to him. I can't say enough about Elizabeth either. She is intelligent in a way that's not over assertive, and I've always been struck by the way she seems to talk "to" people and not "at" people!

Now I grew up in a Yankee family, was born in PA and would consider myself a Yankee for the most part, even though I've spent most of my life in the south. But I guess you would call the two of them together down home "southern hospitality" not of the elite, but the common man.

And yes, he has focused on poverty a lot, but I always admired Morris Dees for that too! I'm what used to be middle class and I understand THAT pain, the pain of being forgotten to some extent, but at least he doesn't pander for the rich!! Being middle class then and now is quite different, so my status has declined.

I'm so totally fed up with all this caviar attitude I'd like to smack them up side the head with a baseball bat, just to see if they had any brains between their ears!
