when I became aware of the total disregard the the Republicans had and have for the poor. I switched when Reagan was running for a second term. Looking back, I believe I was really a liberal thinker all along, but just wasn't paying attention. I was 'R' because my parents were. My sense of being a progressive liberal has grown stronger and stronger since then. I am a USAF veteran 1969-1973.
