Well, mine voted Democrat throughout her lifetime (from 1932, her first legal Presidential election, clear up until 1996, if not 2000, if she cast a vote from the nursing home) and she ingrained that hatred of Republicans onto her children (my father was so browbeaten, it took me to finally drag him across in the ‘80s). My aunt is a booster for La Raza (she is NOT Hispanic), my half-sister IS a Communist. So you get an idea of the kind of damage that gets proliferated by misguidedness and falsehoods being spread generation after generation.

And again, I vigorously and vociferously reject your tagging of Hoover as evil incarnate. I hope you read that article “Yongin” pinged you to putting to rest this nonsense that FDR “cured” the Depression with his misguided policies.

I did not tag Hoover as evil...he was not a bad person...but did a really bad job between 29 and 33...as for Roosevelt, look at my posts...I said his policies did not always work however, unemployment did go down...not to an acceptable level by today’s standard of course. Many of Roosevelt’s policies had nothing to do with ending the depression, but with alleviating the suffering.People appreciated it and voted for him four times. I would say most economist agree that it was the war that pulled us out of the depression.
