My sister kept repeating it as the reason she wouldn't vote for him. I asked did you research the claim? She said she did, but I'm dubious of that claim. I said the truth is not as you think it is. The attack is only slightly true. He's a pastor that wanted clemency for a man on death row for killing a police officer.  He didn't want another man to die. It's not like he wanted the man set free. If you look at it from that point of view, he was a man of mercy wanting mercy for another man. More pastors should be like him.For decades people have been taught to fear communism, and it's little brother socialism. Few of them were ever taught what those are.As I've gotten older, I've grown more skeptical. I learn about the things I don't understand. I'm trying to view things from different angles. The view from the left of center is a little easier to understand. If I stray too far left the view gets blurry. Too far right and view gets scary. My sister is farther right of center than I'm comfortable with. I fear the day I start hearing Q come from her.</blockquote>
