I was wondering if people can remember what it was that made them decide to be a Republican or Democrat? I'm not talking about listing pros and cons that you agree or disagree with, but rather what defining event in your life happened and as a result you said "I'm a Democrat" or "I'm a Republican."
For me it was back during the Nixon vs McGovern campaign, and I saw a commercial that featured a high steel worker sitting on a beam eating his lunch. As he's eating he looks down at all the people below, and the voice over starts saying how if McGovern gets elected some huge percentage of the people below will be receiving entitlement money of one form or another, and taxes will go up to pay for it all. I was all of twelve years old at the time, but it made a real impact on me, and after viewing that commercial I knew I wanted to be a Republican.
