15. Almost all FDR Democrats.
Sun Aug 5, 2012, 01:36 PM
Aug 2012

The two exceptions being my mom's brother, who was one until he started hanging out at the VFW hall. Now, he's a typical brain-dead rethug. The other being my brother, who, deep down, probably still is one, but married a rethug, and hangs out with a bunch of rethugs. He has a bigot streak in him, and they really bring it out, unfortunately. And, sadly, it has also rubbed off on his only child. I cut my nephew some slack, because he had some head injuries when he was younger, and his head is kind of messed up at this point.

I'm sure a few of my cousins have also gone over to the Dark Side, but I haven't seen any of them in years.
