What makes it harder is that, until you hit one of the hot spots (gun control especially, the ACLU, immigration) he's a really nice, personable, reasonable guy. When we were teenagers he would listen to any music we liked with open ears (not that he would pick it for himself by any means). He's always been a member of the NRA, but it's only been in the last few years that he's gotten nastier. I would blame Fox News, but I don't think he watches it. So it's all Rush Limbaugh's fault.
