I have been walking for an hour, I don't have a phone, it's hot out, and I am really tired. Could I use your phone to call a tow truck, maybe get a drink of water, and just sit down for a while until the truck gets here?"
"Sure, no problem," you answer. You head into the kitchen and come back having brought him the phone, some cold water, and an apple.
He then proceedes to sit, he lets out a sigh of relief, and pulls out a cigarette. Just as he is about to light it, he realizes that his lighter has run out of fluid.
"Could I trouble you for a match?" He asks.
"No problem," you answer, and you have a seat next to him after lighting his cigarette. You start thinking that maybe your sinister outlook on Republicans is all wrong. This guy seems like a decent person. Maybe you let yourself get too caught up in the campaign.
Well, that's it. You decided that your bigotry and unjust contempt for Republicans ends here and now.
"Mind if I get a cigaratte?" you ask.
"What!" he says with incredulity. "Are you kidding! Get your own. The problem with you liberals is that you are always expecting to get handouts from other people, from hardworking people like myself. I am not going to support your habit just because you are too lazy to go out, get a job, and start earning something for yourself!"
