I'd argue that if you support policies that enrich your wealthy peers at the expense of the working class and the poor then yes, you are a bad person.

Everything I've heard him say and seen him do suggests he's a nasty evil little man.
You've only seen Tim Hudak the politician. Politics is a petty game. Who knows what he's like outside that arena.

Who cares? He can't effect other peoples' lives with the stuff he does at home. Even Vito Corleone was nice to his grandchildren, you know? That stuff is meaningless.
Wow. You sound like everyone's nightmare of a right-winger. You understand how taxes work, right? And that civilization can't function without them? But sure, let's just let everyone give to whatever they feel is personally worth their time. That'll work out real well.And taking from the wealthy (money they worked hard for) and coercing them to pay for social programs they don't believe in, isn't fair either. Conservatives are actually very charitable people; they just prefer to personally decide who they donate their money to. If you believe in socialism, go and give your cell phone or some other personal possession, that you earned, to someone less fortunate than you. Most people are really conservative and they don't even know it. You wouldn't want somebody in a weaker financial situation thinking they're entitled to your personal belongings just because you have nicer stuff than them.
Meaningless to citizens, yes; not to his family. All I was saying is that Tim Hudak is probably a good family man and friendly guy in his personal life. Don't let his politics act as an all encompassing measurement of who he is as a person. It's illogical to call him evil because he has different social views than you. Life isn't that cut and dry.
Yeah, it is. I could care less how nice he is to his family. That's meaningless. What's meaningful is people who can understand and sympathize with people they don't know, and possibly have little in common with. That's one of the problems with conservatives--the inability to think outside their immediate circle.

Jesus.
Ordinarily I'd agree with you, but given that this thread is about Rob Ford, who is demonstrably not nice to his family to the point of being criminally charged, and whose fans have let him skate on all sorts of nasty behaviour because it's his "personal life", I think it matters a little bit here. Hudak sucks and I would never vote for him, but there's no reason to believe he's as comprehensively terrible as the Fords.
