It's hard to hate someone who is pro-life for the right reasons or has a family history of hunting; so they oppose gun control. I think people who live in more rural environments tend to be republican because issues are explained to them using 'common sense' and it appeals to them.
I've been chastised for suggesting that we be friendly to conservatives. I just don't believe all conservatives are informed enough to be part of the problem (except in how they vote).
A lot of them aren't that different from us, and after this election we will have to deal with them every day.
