I grew up in South Texas when everyone was a Democrat. I was 14 years old when JFK was elected president and I remember that there was a question about the results that could have changed the outcome.

Nixon conceded.

The second factor was when JFK provided no military support for the Bay of Pigs invasion.

The third and final deciding point was when I listened to Barry Goldwater campaigning for president and he sounded like I thought.

I have voted for one Democrat. My uncle for county sheriff. If he were running today, it would be as a Republican.

So, is there anybody out there who was pushed over the edge by Algore's attempt to steal the Presidency in Florida 2000? I know that reinforced my position, cosiderably!
