When they elected Reagan it was the beginning of the end. Thankfully my Grandpa passed away before he could see what the Repukes have crumbled into. For myself, I have never voted for a Repuke EVER, and I've been voting since 1972. I believe my siblings can pretty much say the same thing.

Long live the Democratic party!
