My father was sure he was a Republican but I don’t think he could have told anyone why. He certainly never told me. I only remember that he didn’t like Franklin D. Roosevelt. At the time, he thought FDR’s election was the worst thing to befall this country.; January 25, 2010 at 1:40 PM

There were a lot of people at that time that felt FDR was a great man chiefly because he was Pres. when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor; WW 2 began for the USA helping the country come out of the depression; FDR reaped a lot of political benefits for that reason.

I too felt I should be a Democrat and when I was old enough, registered as such, thinking of myself as a liberal, Roosevelt Democrat. As I aged I became more conservative and and now am a registered Republican. I still hold on to some liberal leanings but am totally not in tune with today's socialist leaning liberals; SEIU, ACORN etc., be damned. As I have learned more with age, if I feel connected with any Roosevelt, it's Teddy!

Obama and especially, Pelosi, Barney Frank, Arlen Specter, Chris Dodd and their ilk? Throw the bums out!; January 25, 2010 at 2:54 PM

We have to "pick sides" and in doing so stick with it regardless of whether an issue is right or wrong.

Look at the healthcare debate. Most Americans agree that healthcare reform is necessary and I don't know an American citizen that would wish to deny another medical care, do you? But in the name of political affiliation we spin our wheels. Democrats want their party on the big Healthcare Reform for the record books regardless of the plans poor planning. Republicans want to revisit issues and take more time to make a sound and fair plan. Why can't the two parties come to some form of acceptable planning that all of us can feel confident about? Political affiliation that's why.; January 25, 2010 at 7:54 PM
