2. And his/her parents are Republicans

Oct 2013

I was 6 when Reagan was sworn in.

I grew up with my father yelling at the 6:30 news and my mom throwing the newspaper down in disgust. And being told (when behaving stupid) to, "Stop acting like Republican". Then when I was 14 Bush.1 was elected.

Basically there was no way in hell that when I voted for the first time in 1992 that I could even think about not voting for Clinton.

My point - I could grasp how shitty a Republican President could be - but I was raised to not be willfully ignorant.
