WHY THE NAME DOSDAMDEMS?

About 30 years when started I getting involved in Politics I worked for a County Commisioner in Alice, Tx. Several of the other Commisiners were Republican male Ranchers.(The one I worked for was a Hispanic Female).Anyway things were obviously changing in Alice ,Tx. because this one Commisioner(his nickname was Red) always used to go around muttering DOSDAMDEMS.
