One less democratic vote in Ohio


With 91 years in the bank, my dad passed away Saturday.

Born in NJ, raised from infancy in the Scottish Highlands, he was a democrat's democrat from the day he reclaimed his citizenship by birthright and moved to Chicago. We always knew his political claim to fame - driving for Adlai Stevenson at the '56 Democratic convention in Chicago. He loved nothing more that telling the story of Stevenson and several other top Dems talking in the back of the car about how important it was to keep Kennedy out of the '56 VP slot because if he's VP..."that S.O.B will be sitting in the Oval in '60". For those who don't remember, VP candidates were elected by the delegates in a floor vote, not chosen by the candidate.

One of my daughters expressed surprise since "he wasn't that old". When I reminded her he was 91 she said "so what, he never watched that FOX chit or got caught listening to Rush". He helped me raise 5 democrats and I'll never be able to thank him for that.

It's been a tough couple days but there have been a few events that have brought a big smile to my face. Most notable - going though his box of important papers, citations, certificates, and keepsakes. There with his honorable discharge papers, newspaper clippings about his military service (both British and US), his first teachers certificate...there in this box was single political button...

"Recall Walker".

Damn if he wasn't a dem to the end. How fun to learn that Recall Walker ranked up there with his form letter from Harry Truman thanking him for his service. The last political comment he made to me was last weekend as we speculated on Walker's running...dad's opinion: "Of that asshole will run, because he's convinced he's not an asshole. Such an asshole".

I'm still processing. He and mom have lived with us for 10 great years. I knew he was winding down but still, I wasn't ready yet and I miss him already.

So...apologies for the ramble (along with future rambles that'll probably happen) and thanks for the tolerance. I just don't know a lot of folks who would appreciate the Recall Walker story as much as some of you guys.

Sorry for you loss but did you have to use your dead father for a bouncy?

Whether it is the still warm bodies of murdered children, or deceased relatives, DUmmies and liberals will use them for political props.

     I will have failed as a father if my kids feel like they need to mention politics when they discuss my death. What nasty, hollow people these are.


     ETA: I am certain that your dead father will continue to vote Democrat, DUmbass.

You can often judge the quality of a person by the children they raised. Just saying....

My nana died on June 26th. No one said a word about politics. I don't remember ever hearing my nana say anything political in my life. Family mattered to her. I know she was a registered democrat when Roosevelt was president. What an absolutely superficial and callous way to remember a cherished family member. If they didn't have partisan politics they'd have nothing. Pretty sure they don't have souls.

If it did happen... the button probably said "Where's my walker?"  Dummie failed to mention the other button he found:

"I've fallen and I can't get up"
