I chose the Republican Party early on in the 1950s and 1960s in Massachusetts. My father was a Republican, as was my mother, in Virginia.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My dad was a Republican. My mom - my mom was mostly a Republican, although she voted for McGovern over Nixon. She was really proud of that. She also did, however, work for Trent Lott.
My father joined our party because the Democrats in Jim Crow Alabama of 1952 would not register him to vote. The Republicans did.
I have been a Republican since 1966.
My dad's a Republican. My dad's my mentor. When I was 18 or whatever it was and I decided to register to vote. My dad's Republican, so that's what I decided to register as.
I was a Democrat for a period of time early on. And then I was also an independent. And then I became a Republican.
My father and my mother and my sister and I have always voted Republican, always.
When I retired out of the military, I registered myself as a Republican because my views and perspectives were more in line with that party.
My entire family were Democrats all our lives. But because how furious I was about the previous administration, I turned in my card to become a Republican. I did not want to be known as a Democrat under that person's regime.
I came into the Republican party in 1980, when I was a college student at Georgetown.
My family was not Republicans. I'm the youngest. I came to this party based upon choice.
