At 21 I registered as a Democrat because they/we put people first. Then seeing Watergate from the UK, turned me off. But I couldn't register as a Republican even though I voted for Reagan, twice!!! Mea culpa...

It was the 1994 backlash to Clinton that got my brain working again. Along with Al Franken's "Rush Limbaugh is a Big, Fat Idiot". Registered as a Democrat for good ASAP.
