One, he is dyslexic and doesn't like to read or study. Two, he has always been lazy including avoiding the military in Alabama. Three, he was one helluva a party animal in his younger days and had to stop because it was destroying him. See that's the thing. I don't think any of those things should disqualify you. I was dyslexic and didn't like to study either. That is a handicap that I managed to overcome and ended up finally becoming a good student. I found that the dyslexia isn't present as much in typed communications because it apparently uses a different part of the brain. SO, off I went to do things that used math, verbal language and where I could largely type. Some people think I'm lazy. I'd say efficient. This efficiency was how I overcame the dyslexia. I too chose an easy service commitment. That seemed smart. And I was a party animal and gave it up. But none of that is HOW I judge people. I judge them on what they admit to, learned from, profess and what they produce. One really must step up one level beyond the stories and see where we are going in a bigger way. There are things that the Republicans lay claim to like fiscal conservatism. They SAY they support it but they really don't. Again, Democrats do the same thing. They SAY one thing and produce another. Anyone who doesn't see Wrangle of NY as a strikingly creepy man isn't looking too closely. So, in my book you have to take all this with a grain of salt. The practical person won't get too wrapped up in what is being packaged and mistake it for the truth. It is the mix that probably best creates a solution. Ignoring problems doesn't do it and neither do band-aids presented as complete fixes. Both parties are guilty of both errors.
