Re: My grandfather was a Democratic politician
You tell me what office your grandfather held. Anywhere near Washington? Bet not. Was he a career politician, or did he just dabble in it? Are you willing to give me his name? The closer a politician gets to the District of Columbia, the more the culture of the place poisons them. As one moves away from DC, one gets into cleaner air. State politics is less rotten, though not much (I had an uncle--Robert Hirsch--who was a South Dakota state politician, and he was a nice guy, but I was a kid and who knows what kind of a politician he was?).
