28. From as long as I can remember my dad used to say "dirty stinking lousy republicans".

He's been gone 15 years now and I can still hear him say that. He would be going crazy now as to see what is going on. My grandfather voted for Eisenhower and my dad didn't talk to his father until Christmas. He always said republican's are the party of big business and the democratic party was for the people. It was my first political education and my dad was correct in his opinion.

I only did under a few specific conditions. I voted for Republicans in the primary elections brewens Jan 2013 #1
