an agenda to 'form a more perfect union'.

Let's ALL vote for Bushes because some moron who prefers fascism requested it before he died.

Also, the family respectfully asks that you do not vote for Hillary Clinton in 2016. R.I.P. Grandaddy.

I lol'd. Not because it was Clinton - I would have had the same reaction if it had said Jeb or Cruz or Nader or anything else. I think humor in times of grief can be a beautiful thing. Maybe I'm a weirdo (maybe? LOL) but I can take a step back from the partisan politics and see the humor, especially with the next line being RIP Grandaddy. I think it is funny as hell.



And for those who think it is tacky, well, at least the family had to pay an additional $50 or something obscene for those extra words. I swear the obituary thing is a total racket these days.

What a not fun guy this was but his family is cool. Wonder why they didn't pay for few more lines and tell us why...

It would have been funny no matter who the "Don't vote for" was directed to, and just as funny if he had said, "Vote for Hillary Clinton." I mean, at what point do you allow yourself to not to get so worked up?

If it were Grandaddy's last wish, I would have lol'd - and I would have been curious what his reasons were.

But "the family"...? Ugh, that's exploiting your grandaddy's funeral for a newspaper real estate.
