I'm thinking of my own grandfather, a vet who seemed very conservative, yet didn't seem to know there was any other party than the party of Harry Truman. He became personal friends with some high ranking Dems and began a very Liberal-oriented lecture tour. It got so we couldn't discuss anything except how to properly care for library books.

My Grandfather who was a farmer became a straight Republican voter after switching from the Democrats because of FDR. My Mom always told the story of him switching when she was growing up. I grew up in a very Republican household to say the least.
