My Grandpa was a proud Republican who voted in every election and he always paid his taxes on time. He served in WWI and his only son served in WWII. He was a great American who passed away in 1980.

It's very lucky that he died before Ronald Reagan became President, because my Grandpa never would have accepted what has happened to that crazy Party since then.
