No surprise there. I'm sure if I sent it a kit for analysis, it would come back "100% mutt."  |

That was when the war molded most youngsters view of the parties. They tended to lean democrat, in spite of the fact that it was the democrats who prosecuted the war, LBJ being the most responsible for the disaster. |

That should bring the total to 100 percent. |

Nobody has my Great Great Grandfather in their list. I really think there was something nefarious going on, probably referring to the Civil War or something else around that time. That seems to be a guy who landed in Missouri from a space ship. |
