Not everybody who happens to like Rees or takes up for him is him as you and others want to believe.
If you had ever taken the time to know Rees then you would have learned that he was born in Sicily, Italy as Giovanni Luchese, family immigrated to the USA, it was his parents who made the name change as part of the naturalization process, he grew up between New York City and San Juan, Puerto Rico as his father was the president of Bigelow-Sanford Carpets, he was educated in NYC but keeps most of his personal records sealed, came to DC in 1979 with a job offer with the World Bank to manage their housing facility know as the Concordia Apartments over on NH & M.
Some are deliberately blinded to the facts or just never really took the time to learn them.
I like him because he is the only candidate running SO FAR who is really out there every day no matter what popping the voters with his (on the cheap) literature and keeps pounding away. I respect that.
Maybe you need to start asking questions instead of being a jerk and confrontational as you might get somewhere.
