My father in law was a DEM for the same reason. The party helped out his grandfather, his great uncle, etc. That is not the party of today.
He had most everything done by the time I got there, so all I really had to do was wait until they got on the bus.
When I think of how disorganized he was as a teenager, I am astounded that he gets all this done without getting stressed. He is a good dad, and I am very proud of him.
