re: #295 KGxvi

I voted in ‘96 and remember being very underwhelmed by both Clinton and Dole. As I’ve mentioned here before, I voted for Dole because that’s what good Republicans did back then. But I remember saying to my mom at one point, possibly on election night, something along the lines of “well, he’s done a good job so far” about Clinton. So it probably isn’t much of a surprise that I wasn’t a Republican for many or election cycles.

I like to think that my half-brother was just way ahead of his time in understanding what the GOP was turning into. At the time everyone was just like “WOW, where the fuck did that come from?” But now, it all makes sense.
