“Never, never vote for a Republican,” is one of the many admonitions my grandmother voiced that I do not forget. The echo of that saying is now joined by the sound of her rolling over in her grave because today I am a registered Republican. I do not feel guilty because I know that the Democrat Party she treasured is as dead as she is.
