There are a few who become more liberal as they get older (Goldwater gal Hillary Clinton being one) but they are in the distinct minority. It can also be argued that those folks were never conservative to begin with.

I can honestly say that I was a dyed-in-the-wool liberal in my early days. I thought Jimmy Carter was swell back in '76 and thought Richard Nixon was an evil man. In high school, I wore a "No Nukes" T-shirt and a few friends and I talked of joining a commune when we grew up and maybe hitchiking or across the country and "seeing America."

It's funny to think back on those days now, but at least I grew up. Some never do.
