My old man was an FDR dem.

LBJ changed that.

LBJ was the last dem my old man voted for for president.

I've never voted for one of the nasty things.

My old man was an FDR dem. LBJ changed that.
I'm of Irish descent, family lived in NYC since 1851. Very strong Dem and union men, including my father.
I came back from VN in 1968, registered as a Dem out of respect for my ancestors - then told my dad I was voting for Nixon, which I did.
It took him until 1992, when he voted for Perot, for him to see the light.

“LBJ changed that.”

I got into a discussion about LBJ with an old guy some years back, and from his language you would think Johnson’s first two initials were MF. :)
