Have You Ever Voted Republican At Any Level

[DemocratSinceBirth]

[Emboldened Chimp]

1. That should be "Hell No"

[DemocratSinceBirth]

6. Our Stupid Former Democratic Secretary Of Agriculture

endorsed Jeb Bush in 1998....


My mom and I just left that part of the ballot blank....

[Nashyra]

2. I voted for Kenny Guinn

Governor of Nevada

[David__77]

11. Didn't like Joe Neal?

Just wondering... he seemed like he had some good ideas on raising gaming taxes.

[indigo32]

3. NEVER

EVER

[tjdee]

9. Me either.

Even before I could vote I knew the GOP was full of it.

[Wetzelbill]

I don't think I have it in me to vote Republican

[Wetzelbill]

4. I don't think I have it in me to vote Republican

[xJlM]

5. Other:

FUCK no! If I don't have a choice who is for the common man, I won't vote. Doesn't mean I won't show up at the poll, just that I don't have to vote for anyone.

[QC]

7. Once.

For probate judge, a very powerful position in the country where I used to live, since it had to do with building permits and such, not just wills.

The incumbent, a Democrat, was a Boss Hogg throwback with his hands in everyone's pocket, friend of "developers," etc. The challenger, a Republican, was a professor from my college, running as a reformer, who received death threats for running against Boss Hogg.

It wasn't hard to choose who to vote for in that one.

[pmbryant]

8. Alas, yes.

It was a long time ago. I probably shouldn't admit who it was.

EDIT: I should say that I came to regret the choice and was terribly glad (actually, ecstatic!) to see this fellow defeated the next time around. Does that give away who it was?

--Peter

[LTR]

63. Poppy!!!

I kinda scratched my head about Dukakis myself.

Still voted for him, though. I guess it was an anti-Bush vote.

Don't worry, all is forgiven. At least by me.

[BlueJazz]

10. I've come about as close to voting for a Republican as...

....I have going faster than the speed of light.

[Cheesehead]

12. I have voted for an old high school bud

who is in the Wisconsin state Assembly. He is a good hardworking guy, not some kind of conservative ideolog. Just happens to be a Repug because that's who gets elected around here. He was running unopposed.

[zonmoy]

13. Yes I did

back when my politics was still being manipulated by my family and their church.

[Forkboy]

14. no...my head would explode if I did

[LawDem]

15. Only for judge

Only for judge. As a general rule, I either vote Democratic or, if I absolutely can't stomach the Democrat, I'll leave the ballet blank. But I do make an exception for district court judges (we don't elect appellate court judges in Kansas). I really don't think judges should be elected, but since they are, and since I personally know the candidates, and since they almost never run for higher office, I vote for the person, not the party, for judge. But that's the only exception. Forgive me, oh great Democratic God, for this my one sin!

[SOteric]

16. Yes, and I'd do it again if he came out of retirement.

I voted repeatedly for Ralph Munroe, the retired Secretary of State for the State of Washington. A more principled, intelligent and responsible person you could not find. Many of Washington's prominent Democrats loved Ralph Munroe. He went to great lengths to guarantee the integrity of our elections.

*sigh* Boy could we use old Ralph now. Let him get wind of a potential flaw in the system and he'd have been all over it.

[Brian Sweat]

17. I once voted to re-elect Connie Mack.

It was back in the eighties and he didn't seem like such a bad guy at the time. He had senority in the senate, so I thought that sending him back to the senate would help Florida get more power. The Democrat running against him wasn't much of a candidate.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

25. He Beat Buddy McKay By Less Than 1/2 of a %

Buddy was a good guy.... Buddy also lost to Jeb Bush...


on edit-


Connie Mack ran twice.... He beat Buddy McKay in 1988... He beat Hugh Rodham(Hillary's brother) in 1994....

[bookman]

18. Yes

At a local level.
And many years ago I split a ticket to vote for Republican Senate Candidate. Back when Republicans could be moderate and were responsible with finances.

[gully]

19. NEVER!!!!!!!!

:spank:

[kodi]

20. R. Schweiker, Sen PA, personally promised to vote to impeach nixon

i meet him in his office in 1974, and he told me he would. i voted for him.

[goobergunch]

21. No

Never voted, period. But I won't when I'm eligible...

[Prodemsouth]

22. I became old enough in 1980, my first President vote went to Reagan.

Looking back to this day it seemed like the choice between Hoover and Roosevelt, what could you do? Today, I question the whole American Hostages in Iran saga, which is the chief reason I voted for Reagan.

[MrSlayer]

24. Yes but....

That was when I was younger before I became informed and started following issues.

[stevedeshazer]

23. Yes

Once upon a time, in a now seemingly far-away land, lived a creature known as the Moderate Republican. Often, this creature was favorable compared to the Moderate Democrat creature.

Tom McCall and Mark Hatfield.

[displacedvermoter]

26. Jim Jeffords, Bob Stafford, Peter Smith, and I believe George Aiken

all good men, all moderate (and I really mean that term) GOPers from the old Vermont School.

[idaholeft]

28. i too am a displace vermonter

I voted for Jeffords. He went to shcool with my Mom, I played little leage with his kid and he (Jim) pulled my jeep out of a snowbank one time. We celebrated his "coup of one" out here with some Long Trail Ale, Cabot's cheddar and ben & Jerry's.

Too bab it didn't last...

[KaraokeKarlton]

88. I vote for Republicans here in Vermont quite often

But Vermont Republicans are usually very honest, principled and good folks. I also vote for Bernie Sanders to mix things up a bit. I don't really care what party a politician belongs to as long as they have the interest of the people they serve at heart and are honest, and here in Vermont, any politician who doesn't do that gets the boot quickly. If someone here gets re-elected repeatedly, they have done a good job and are good people. So, it's easy to see why I support Howard Dean.

[Mr. Brown of MD]

27. County Councilman ran unopposed

2002 was my first election I got to vote in. My county councilman is a Republican and he's so popular that the Democrats don't even put a candidate up against him. There's a lot of rural areas in the district, and he is pro-environment, so that's cool with me.

If they put somebody against him I'd probably vote against him, but as long as he's unopposed, eh, whatever.

-CollegeDude
Cardinal sin, but you know

[CWebster]

29. Not that I can recall off the top of my head but

I have voted for some Dems that might as well have been Repubs

[RichM]

30. Yes, I voted for Bill Clinton in 1992.

I was young and foolish.

[CWebster]

79. LOL!

:thumbsup:

[retyred]

31. Yes

I voted for Joe Lieberman when I voted for Gore, that of course was before I found out he had all his jewish friends vote for Pat Buchanan down in West Palm.....the sneaky little bastard.




CLARK FOR PRESIDENT
Retyred IN FLA.

[Hanuman]

32. Only Once: Bill Simon for CA guv.

THAT's how much I hate Gray Davis.

And that was quite probably the first and only time in 20 years of voting.

[Sephirstein]

51. I have two words for you.

Peter Camejo.

Why the Hell didn't you do it?

[DFLforever]

33. For the US Senate

..liberal/moderate(1982?) Republican Dave Durenberger over conservative businessman & anti-choice, Reagan Democrat Bob Short. Short had defeated liberal Congressman Don Fraser in the Dem primary and there was a wholesale desertion by Democrats to Durengerger, including many who worked surreptiously on his campaign.

[quaker bill]

34. No

Not once. Even in "non partisan" races I research to find out who is the democrat. If there is no democrat running, I just take a pass.

[Davis_X_Machina]

35. Frank Hatch, for Governor of MA...

...when he was running against the risible Ed King.

[morningglory]

36. I was going to vote for the little county commissioner who

was going to pave my road, but my hand started shaking and I couldn't do it.

[BurtWorm]

37. I voted for Lowell Weicker against Joe Lieberman

Only time I've ever voted Republican, and may it be my last.

[ButterflyBlood]

38. I voted no

but I once did in a school mock election for Congress. Because the guy had clever ads and the latest bandwagon in the school was to back his campaign. I was 12. He won the mock election in the school by more than 80% and lost the general 55/43

[I Lean Left]

39. I voted for Bill Weld - twice!

Heck, I'd probably vote for him again.

The first time he ran against Silber who was, well, insane. I don't even remember who he ran against the next time, but we were all pretty happy with our gov. He got bored though and never finished out the second term. Been all down hill ever since!

[Forkboy]

41. Weld was a moderate repub

If I remember he was pro-choice.I didn't vote at all in the Silber/Weld race.Like you say Silber was a loony tune so if I had voted it would have been for Weld.I read one of his books and liked it,though I can't remember the name of it.

On a side note,the Weld/Kerry debates were the best I've ever seen.

[ButterflyBlood]

42. Weld was nominated by Clinton as ambassador to Mexico

but has his nomination blocked by Jesse Helms because he was pro-medical marijuana.

[I Lean Left]

44. Weld was not Jesse's kind of Repug

That's for sure.

Those were great debates. Weld was so popular that he could have beaten Kerry. Most people wanted him to stick around and keep being governor. He should have resigned to run, would have told people he was dead serious about winning and that he wasn't going to be governor anymore anyway. Kind of like what Edwards is doing.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

106. Weld Was As Close To A liberterian

as you can be and get elected to the Senate...


on edit-elected to be Governor of a major state

[bluestateguy]

40. I voted for a Gooper for District Attorney (Travis County, TX)

Central Texans will know what I am talking about, but I was outraged over the Democratic D.A.'s (Ronnie Earle) treatment of an 11 year old girl named LaCresha Murray, who he railroaded into a murder "confession" of a baby who was obviously abused by her parents. After an abusive police interrogation, 2 kangaroo court trials and 5 years of imprisonment Earle finally let LaCresha go. It was a disgraceful episode. All Earle wanted to do was show white conservatives that he was "tough on crime". In 2000 I voted for his Republican opponent Shane Phelps. On other issues, Phelps was a fascist, but he promised to "revisit" the Murray case if elected. Earle won 55%-45%. I have not decided if I'll vote for Earle in 2004.

[tom_paine]

43. During the Days of the Old Republic fairly regularly

25-30% of the time--probably until the mid-90s and the Gingrich House

Even after that, I always voted the person -- studied the issues, made informed votes. Of course that number dropped as the Republicans became more and more horrible, more and more shrill and crazy and Limbaugh. I didn't realize their overall plan, insidious and cruel, to twist and bend our institutions, our Constitution, completely and utterly to their will, and to "rewrite" the Bill of Rights. But subconsciously I could see that something was wrong and getting wronger.

But I still studied the issues and voted the person and cast a couple Repug votes (not national offices, though) in '96. The Impeachment debacle had a decidely Roman feel (again intuition was telling my subconscious even though I could not fathom the grotesque and monstrously corrupt multi-level network of aiders and abetters.

And now I won't vote for a member of the Totalitarian Party--The Party of Jeff Davis...EVER, until they clean up their act, which they won't. I don't think it is even possible, so ingrained is the madness.

Now of course now the whole thing is as predictable as the Soviet Union. Who is going to win and how they are going to lie andwhat they are going to steal and defraud the future while slowly poisoning us in our own shit.

BUT, and I can't help but emphasize this ENOUGH, this thing is NOT OVER and NO ONE should be GIVING UP!

And, hopefully, this time they won't "Wellstone" anybody. I don't think I can stand one more "perfectly fortuitous death" for Bushevik opponents.

I feel like Marlon Brando in the Godfather: "If Gen. Clark befalls and accident, his small plane falls from the sky, he should befall an unexplained heart attack...then it is you I shall hold responsible."

God, what has become of our beautiful nation, what has become of our Old American Republic, that she be dragged through the mud of this dishonor?

[Vogon_Glory]

45. Yes I Did Vote For Republicans Once Upon a Time

I used to vote for Republicans. I even voted for Bush-the-Father when he ran against Michael Dukakis because I still feared the Soviet Union and the Cold War didn't yet seem over. However, by the end of George H.W. Bush's term as President I was well aware that the Radical Right's takeover of the Republican Party was well under way back then and that now in 2003 that takeover is nearly complete. So is my lack of confidence in the Republican Party as an organization committed to democracy, social justice, enviornmental protection, equality of opportunity, or protection of the meek and small against the predations of the rich and powerful. Despite the fact that I'm to the right of many DU rank-and-file-members, what I can say about my voting for GOP candidates is that that was then, this is now.

[HPLeft]

46. Yes, But Only On The Liberal Party Line In NYC

So, I've never actually pulled the lever for anyone on a Republican ballot. I have some scruples.

[Sephirstein]

55. huh?

When did they ever endorse a Republican?

[HPLeft]

96. Rudy Giuliani

Not to mention John Lindsay, Jacob Javitts, and probably quite a few more. I don't remember this far back, but I bet you that Rockefeller ran on the Liberal Party line as well.

[noiretextatique]

47. never have, probably never will

for two reasons:
1) i detest the republican party.
and
3) i despise the republican party.

[Cozmosis]

48. Yes, Governer Ehrlich

Cause Townsend was a complete moron, and would have driven the state further into the ground.

[Piltdown13]

49. In 2000 I voted in the Republican primary

(I know, bad, underhanded thing to do as a Democrat, and I won't do it again.) I vote in Texas, so the only way I could cast a vote against Bush that would actually mean something was to vote in the Repub primary -- I was really, really mad at him for the things he did to our state as governor (you wouldn't think he could do that much damage given the weakness of the position in TX, but he did plenty). Besides, all the Democratic primary races that year were foregone conclusions in my district. Still didn't mean that much since Bush already had the nomination wrapped up by the time the TX primary was held...oh, well.

I have on occasion voted for Republicans in minor local races -- we vote for just about everything in Texas -- but only in cases where the Democrat was demonstrably incompetent or crooked or better suited for the Republican party (this happened once; the guy opposing switched parties to run against him).

[regnaD kciN]

50. Yes, specifically...

For Massachusetts Governor Frank Sargent in 1974. In those days, there were still such a breed as liberal Republicans. Both candidates were on the left of the specturm -- the Democratic nominee was Michael Dukakis, who wound up winning. But I voted for Sargent because a) he had had the guts to publically criticize Nixon, and "disinvite" him from campaigning in Massachusetts during his previous run, when the latter was trying to polarize the country, and b) because I knew some members of his family.

Also, for King County Councilman Brian Derdowski, who was an active environmentalist in a conservative district, and where the Democrats would generally run someone who was in the back pocket of developers. As it turns out, Derdowski was defeated in the Republican primary last time by a Chamber-of-Commerce candidate. This time, he has changed his party affiliation, so I can vote for him while still voting a straight Democratic ticket.

[fabius]

52. Yep. Representative in OR legislature

Max Williams (Tigard Oregon), a pretty decent guy, works hard, just voted to raise taxes a little to bail out our school crisis. A courageous vote, as the Wingers are FURIOUS about it. The guy should be a Lieberman Democrat.

[Terwilliger]

53. I used to be Republican

does that count? :nuke:

[prolesunited]

83. You've got to be kidding?!?!?

I can hardly imagine that. When? Where? What changed?

[Terwilliger]

84. born into it

Rockefeller Repub father, and I was born into a pretty comfortable world. I started out doing things like disliking blacks, gays, foreigners. I loved mom, apple pie, the American way...etc.

Still, I've never really liked rich people, nor did I like what I saw as the colonization of everyone who didn't have money by those who did. This was all early on, and the older I've gotten, the more liberal, and more liberal, and more liberal I've become. Republicans have always emphasized how money and "responsibility" and security are more important than the millions of homeless on our own streets. You'd think people with such high-falutin' notions of "the Republic" would actually cherish the values that make us a Republic.

I've never actually voted Republican (unless you count Bill Clinton)

[prolesunited]

93. Touché

I would have never guessed.

[Evanstondem]

54. For Commissioner of the Sewer System

I'm not kidding!

[RandomUser]

56. I think issues

matter every bit as much, if not more, than party affiliation. Although I'm a registered democrat, if given a choice between a pro-life dem or a pro-choice republican, I guarantee you I'll vote for the pro-choice republican every time.

I've voted democratic, republican, and even green.

[jsw_81]

57. Yes

In 2000 (when I was a liberal Republican) I voted for John McCain and Congresswoman Jennifer Dunn.

But soon afterward I became a Democrat and will NEVER vote for another Republican. Ever.

[LTR]

62. jsw...

Even though the 'Demsnobs' that attack Clark for voting for Reagan will probably not accept you, I say, "Welcome aboard!"

[phegger]

58. Yes

Of course that was in the days when there was still such a thing as a moderate Republican (and I knew the Dem to be a slimeball).


-ph :shrug:

[Oracle]

59. Never have, never will.

[AntiCoup2K4]

60. Voted for McCain in the 2000 primary

.... just to vote against the Idiot Son of an Asshole. And given the choice, I'd still rather have McCain in the White House than the Bush Criminal Empire.

I also voted for Ralph Munro who was probably the last honest Republican in this state and no doubt retired in disgust at what his party had become.

I was too young to have voted for our former governor and senator Dan Evans, but probably would have. The guy was also a President of the Evergreen State College - not exactly a job for the Reactionary Right types which have since taken over the WA state GOP :-(

[JI7]

67. yeah, i hated him that much also

i hated the asshole so much back then also that i voted for mccain in the primary so i would never have to look at the pricks face again. although i had always intended to vote for al gore in november.

[Rhiannon12866]

104. I voted for McCain, as well. I really liked what he had to say,

especially when he went after Bush*. I voted for Al Gore in the election, the same as the majority of Americans!:grr:

[Guaranteed]

75. Me too...

But we didn't have an open primary. Just threw away my vote.
I knew Gore was getting the nomination anyway, though.

[LTR]

61. A few times I recall...

When I lived in Minnesota, I voted for Jim Ramstad for Congressman. I always felt he was an honest guy and capable of the job. Never did anything to make me NOT want to vote for him. And like many congressional races, the Dems never put up anyone of substance against him, just someone to 'fill the spot'.

Voted for Arnie Carlson in '90, the same election I voted for Wellstone (and proudly). I just could not see meyself voting for Gov. Goofy (aka Rudy Perpich).

I've also voted for independents on a few occasions. I used to have a running joke about voting for someone from the Grass Roots Party (which favors marijuana law reform) for the post of state treasurer, thinking that if anyone knows how to handle large sums of money, it's a pot dealer. I have a feeling that people here at DU will hate me for that statement. :)

Whenever possible, I do not vote straight ticket. I feel the multi-party system is the best course for America, and all voices, even ones that I do not necessarily agree with, get heard. If that means I have to vote for a Rethug or a third party guy for Head Dogcatcher, so be it.

I have the philosophy that not all Republicans are bad. Just like not all Democrats are good (i.e. Traficant). I've always voted for who I saw as the best person running. The fact that most of them were Democrats also says something.

[JI7]

64. mccain and bill simon

i voted for mccain in the primary because i hated bush so much i wanted to see him go down. i was for al gore but he pretty much already had a lock in the election. if mccain had won i would have still voted for al gore in november 2000. in the 2002 primary for governor i voted for bill simon to make it easier for gray davis to win. this means i have to change my registration to democratic to vote in the primary for john kerry.

[ibegurpard]

65. No

Thank God I missed the first election I was eligible for or I wouldn't be able to say that.

[Tinoire]

66. Never.... n/t

[Robin Hood]

68. HELLLLLLL NOOOO!!

[Rhiannon12866]

69. I live in serious Freeper country

Many local offices have Republican candidates running unopposed. I usually vote for the few I know personally, like superintendent of highways, for instance. I figure that they won't be overturning Roe vs. Wade or waging war on Iraq. The ones I can be counted on to vote for are the local coroners. There are always two Republicans, running unopposed. I figure if they really want the job, they can have it. Am I selling out?:shrug:

[MI Cherie]

70. Once ...

... in the 2000 Primary for McCain. Actually, it was an anti-Bush vote and to tick off the repukes who don't like Dems voting in "their" primary!

:evilgrin:

[Rhiannon12866]

72. Actually, I voted for McCain, as well

I liked him in 2000 and could have supported him. I voted in the election for Al Gore. Of the four major candidates, the only one I just could not stomach was George Bush*!
:puke:

[Ladyhawk]

71. I've always voted Republican. I've never voted for a Democrat.

But you wait until the next election, honey. If I make it that long, it's Dem all the way.

[Piperay]

73. Ack...Richard Nixon

I cast my first vote in the Presidential election and voted Nixon. :shrug: I voted Ford the next time but that was the LAST time I ever voted for repug for ANYTHING.

[retread]

74. Voted for a democrat who later went over to the dark side.

Voted for his opponent in the next election.

[ikojo]

76. NO NO NO NO and NO

I am physically and psychologically unable to vote for a Republican. I break out in hives and begin shaking at the mere thought.

There is a cure for Republicanitis though...and that is a strong OPPOSITION party..a party that calls the pugs on their lies, a party that VISIBLY stands for all that is opposite of what the pugs stand for..

Does anyone know of such a party? I am still looking.....


Hello? Any opposition party out there?


All I hear is silence....

....needed the money.

:evilgrin:

[mcar]

80. County official

Unfortunately, my county has gone very repub in the last decade and the democratic party is in a complete shambles. I still vote dem for everyone except our Supervisor of Elections. She's a female repub and I've known her professionally for years. She's honest and knows what she's doing. So, two years ago I cast my first-ever (in more than 20 years of voting) vote for a republican.

[NewYorkerfromMass]

81. Mayor Rudy Giuliani in 1993

And I thought (and still think) it was a good choice. Dinkins was simply ineffective, and Rudy's first term was quite productive with the hiring of Bratton as Chief of Police. Now 1997 was a different story altogether and I voted for Ruth Messinger because Rudy had quite simply overstayed his welcome, and in fact was deteriorating into a shrill jerk.

[prolesunited]

82. I have an interesting choice for mayor in November

The incumbent is a Republican who has done a decent job. He's a member of a union and went along with a plan to have union members infiltrate the grand opening ceremony of a non-union grocery store and really has emphasized public services for the community. His Democratic opponent has a history of voting Republican but didn't want to face the incumbent in the primary so he switched parties.

So, do I vote for the Republican who acts like a Democrat? Or, do I vote for the Democrat who really is a Republican? What would you do?

[NewYorkerfromMass]

86. sounds like you answered your own question

The Republican clearly seems like the best choice based on your description.

[pmbryant]

90. I agree

For a local executive office like mayor, the actual policies promoted by a person should outweigh the party affiliation. For Congress or a legislative office, though, I would go with the party affiliation above all else.

--Peter

[prolesunited]

94. I know what I have to do

Actually, I tend to vote for the person not the party, but with all that has transpired in the last few year, I've become more of a party loyalist.

So, you guys won't kick me off DU if I vote for a Repug mayor? ;-)

[Az]

85. A small army of Dems voted Rep in Mich last pres primary

It seems Engler promised George he would deliver Michigan to him not only as a rep state but as a George supporter as well. So a small army of Dem voters turned up at the Rep primary and voted for McCain. Ya see, we really hated Engler a lot and weren't too fond of Bush either.

[RetroLounge]

87. No , Never. But I did vote third party once...

in my first election, 1980, I went third party and voted for John Andersen (sp?) as I was from Illinois, and I had heard him speak and was moved by his passion and views on the issues.

So I guess I indirectly voted for Reagan...

[htuttle]

89. A guy I know ran (naked) against Tommy Thompson in the primary

Local Madisonians (and many Wisconsinites) might remember the year Ben Masel ran as 'the candidate with nothing to hide'.

He campaigned at Rainbow Family events buck naked, and there was a campaign poster with him standing nude on it.

How could I NOT vote for him? Besides, it was the primary. There was a hope that Thompson could be blindsided by unexpected competition. No such luck, though.

[nedlogg]

91. I was a working man!

Why would I ever vote republican?

[Skittles]

92. NO

ABSOLUTELY F***ING NEVER. I might refrain from voting for a Democrat, but vote repug? NEVER.

[skip fox]

95. Mayor's race in Lafayette, LA

The Dem. was a corrupt fart. The Repug. was great (just business) for one term. In his second, he started getting more political, but was still far better than the Dem. would have been.

[Jokerman]

97. Richard Lugar (once)

The democrats were running someone I didn't like and Lugar had just gone out on a limb by publicly contradicting Ronnie Raygun's assertion that the Philippine elections (Marcos) had been fair and legal.

Never before, and never again.

[diamondsoul]

100. Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou!!

It's such a relief to know I wasn't the only one Lugar sucked in that way!

And to answer the initial question, YES, I have. I am not a straight party voter, never have been. I vote the issues and the candidate who seems to speak closest to my views overall. Every once in a great while a self-professed Republican has fit that bill better than the Dem opposing them. More often than not I vote Dem or even third party over a Repub, but every now and again one comes along who just doesn't seem to toe the party line.

[Jokerman]

103. Not so sure about Evan Bayh anymore

I'm feeling a bit "sucked in" these days about my votes for Evan Bayh.

Sometimes in Indiana it's hard to tell the dems from the repugs.

[John_H]

98. As a former Mississippian

I voted Republican all the time, except those folks all had the letter "D" after their names.

[einsteins stein]

99. Twice, but only in the Republican Primary

In 1992 I voted for Forbes in the Republican Primary, and in 2000 I voted for McCain in the Rep. Primary. Both times, I voted for the Dem in the general election.

It was more of a protest vote against the front running Republican, though I did really like McCain, and REALLY wanted to see him stomp Bush.

Still would have voted for Gore over McCain.

On Edit:
I never wanted Forbes to win anything. He just seemed the best chance at giving Poppy Bush a problem.

[FDRLincoln]

101. yep

I've voted Republican four times.

1986: Chuck Grassley for US senate from Iowa.
1994: Bill Graves for Kansas governor.
1994: Carla Stovall for Kansas attorney general
1994: Sandy Praeger for Kansas senate

[Eloriel]

102. Yeah, I voted for Bill Clinton -- twice n/t

.

105. My name is Jafap

and I am a Repuboholic. This is my 2525th day of sobriety. Actually, in some elections it is unavoidable. For example, every candidate for Richland County Sheriff is usually a Republican. Same thing for the mayor's race.
