Even Republicans have some redeeming qualities

We were listening to a story on NPR about Democrats (as so many of their stories are). The girls asked what Democrats are. I tried my best to explain. They then asked if we were Democrats. I said that I was but that they had to decide for themselves when they were 18. Amanda immediately decided to be a Democrat too. They then asked if daddy was a Democrat, Grandma Dorothy, Grandpa Stan, Grandma Susan, Grandpa Gerry, etc. I replied that daddy, Grandma Dorothy, Grandpa Stan and Grandma Susan were Democrats but Grandpa Gerry was a Republican. Becca's response: "But Grandpa still loves us, right?"
