The Party of Lieberman and JFK is long gone…

My grandfather, a life-long and pretty prominent Democrat on the local level, figured this out in 1980 when Carter steered the ship into the iceberg. The realization that he was going to have to vote for Reagan left him pale and shaking.

My dad was active in the Democrat party all the while he was alive.

Growing up, I just considered myself a Democrat and didn't pay much attention to it. The last couple of years in high school and during college I started looking around and began wondering what the he11 I was thinking.

Zell Miller, and to a lesser extent-Lieberman, were the last two Democrats I could agree with on anything.
