In reply to the discussion: Why are you a member of the Democratic Party? [View all]femmocrat
(28,394 posts)20. Because I care about my fellow women and men.
Unlike the cold-blooded, heartless repukes.
I grew up in the 1960s. My heroes were the great liberals of that era like RFK, Humphrey, Eugene McCarthy, and even LBJ for his social programs. I cast my first vote for George McGovern in 1972.
