(77,364 posts)A long time ago my dad worked @ the RNC and I got to know or know about
some really decent people who were republicans ..... Dan Evans, Margaret Chase
Smith, Chuck Percy, Jacob Javits, Eve Dirkson, Ike, Lincoln, Wayne Morris, and so
many more ..... as a little kid the brother of our next door neighbor was Ray Shafer*
the Governor of PA ..... he was a socialist radical who worked for good schools and
colleges, transportation, and the environment long before it was the "right thing to
do" .... We were in a middle class neighborhood and he would join us for picnic
dinners and would play games w/ the neighborhood kids ..... the man was salt of the
earth good .... today he would find no home in the republican party.
sorry to
* the governor of PA used to play whiffle ball w/ us kids and tell his people that
he was "in an important meeting" and that he should not be disturbed. It truly was
a different time. the press would not say a word about it and the grown ups in the
neighborhood if asked wouldn't know anything.
