1. Whigs
Simply because Henry Clay was one of my ancestors, though not direct.

4. What is an indirect ancestor?
You mean he's a distant cousin? In that case, he's not an ancestor...

And that's a silly reason. That would be like me deciding to become a Republican because George Bush is my ninth cousin.

2. Republican Party
Amazingly many of the principles that we Democrats hold dear came from the Republican party.

Lincoln's Republican party, not Jefferson's.

3. Pre-Reconstruction End Republicans
They were a good party, what the hell went wrong?
