I'm the son of a blue collar worker who died when I was 14 years old. I worked my way through 12+ years of college. My parents, grandparents, and great grandparents were all Democrats. If they were alive today, they would repudiate the Democrat Party and everything it stands for. My children are ALL Republicans; I am very proud to say. I'm not fooled by the Democrats one bit. The sooner they are dropped into the oubliette of history, leaving the American electorate divided between the Republicans and the Libertarians, the better.
Sorry that I was so late to reply. Many in my family are recovering Democrats too. My father's side of the family were Democrats during the Great Depression. The Democrat Party in no way resembles the party that it was 40 years ago. They are destined for the ash heap of history. It's a shame because the nation needs political parties with different views and stimulating debate. It's better for the country. What the Democrats are doing is not good for the country and I know that they will pay for the mess that they've created.
