:-} I’m from New York City originally. Live in Ct now. My Dad was a union guy, a steamfitter. My Uncles were all union guys, steamfitters,iron workers etc. All WW2 vets, all democrats. All loved Kennedy, especially my Mom and my Aunts. I have never voted for a democrat in my life. My wife and I are conservatives in the pro life, pro gun, pro security sense. My sisters changed their democrat registration a few years ago but vote republican for longer than that. My brother is even more to the right than I am. My daughters, like me, have never voted for a democrat in a national election but have voted for local democrats they know personally. I won’t do that. I think democrats have so screwed up the American urban family that voting for even decent ones is not something I should do. Even my granddaughters stand up for Romney in middle school against the hordes of children begot by Ozombies.
My cousins are a mixed bag. On my Mom’s side they all vote republican and like us a lot of them are veterans. On my Dads side, they;re committed socialists for the most part with the exception of Timmy who is a long haired blues guitarist who loves Ronald Reagan and hates liberals. Timmy is my favorite cousin. LOL
sounds like your family has progressed, my family is from the mid-west in the deep country.
Many of them haven’t ever used the Internet.
