My dear Grandpa - who was a proud, patriotic life-long Republican - passed away Dec. 1st, 1980. Just as Ronald Reagan was planning his first move into the White House. Everything went downhill from there, as I don't need to tell any of you.
I believe that for several years the Republican Party slowly lost its way from being the "Party of Law and Order" or the "Party of Patriots" etc. It took a while, but Newt Gingrich (among others) hurried it along. But come on, none of us believe that any of those "patriots" are still hanging on. They've gone to their greater reward and we're left with the kooks and nutz who have nowhere else to go.
My Grandpa's Republican Party is long gone. And the proof is what's here now - the Repukes of today. My Grandpa and his Republicans would have never tolerated the corrupt, lying convict who occupies the White House now.
