I have only been able to vote once, in 2004, and I voted for John Kerry.

I was four days too young to vote in 2000 but would have voted for Al Gore.

I remember being a Clinton supporter when I was still too young to vote.

Not voting. Seriously.

I can't go all the way back to 1968 as I was in the 4th grade at the time.

1968- difficult year because of the assassination of robert kennedy. that left me "supporting" (i was 11) humphrey.

Sorry, but even tho the elections are done and gone, I still feel that who I actually vote for and support is still a private matter.

Damnit, Nixon needed a third term.

Too bad he was criminal scum.

Do the words "Watergate" and "Cambodia" mean anything to you?

:headbang: :headbang: :headbang:

Do the words "Watergate" and "Cambodia" mean anything to you?

Ok, so yeah, maybe Nixon should have ordered a full-scale invasion of Cambodia, but then again, it's just one thing. You don't see me totally pissed at Clinton for not invading Rwanda.

Watergate. I don't see anything criminal about it.

As I wasn't born until 1974...

1968-(Glad) Nixon

1976-(Wish) Reagan

1980-(Glad) Reagan

1984-(Glad) Reagan

1988-(Glad) Bush

1992-(Wish) Bush - Didn't vote as I was in Basic Training and I didn't request a absentee balot.

1996-(Voted For) Dole

2000-(Voted for) Bush

2004-(Voted for) Bush

2008- I am supporting either Condaleeza Rice or Senator Goerge Allen.

:rolleyes: :headbang:


EDIT: Darn that resignation and pardon!

And darn that 22nd Amendment!

(methinks you is trolling)what was that old Vulcan saying?

Oh yeah, "Only Nixon could go to China"

Gotta admit, Like Carter, Nixon also made an Great Former President.

Retrospective Opinions

1968- Robert Kennedy, because the Kennedys, despite getting shot a lot, were good at holding office.

1972- I can only judge through hindsight - Nixon screwed it up badly.

1976- Definitely Carter: from what I've read on this election, he had his heart in the same place I do politically.

1980- Carter, I would think, but I don't know enough about the election.

1984- I don't like Reagan. However, I don't know if I would have thought the same at the time, as he also did a fair number of respectable things.

1988- Dukakis! "A thousand points of light", honestly...

Born 1990

1992- Clinton! Gulf War 1 was handled abysmally.

On-site Opinions

1996- Clinton: my preschool was on Clinton street! (Age 6)

2000- Gore: he's the Democrat. (Age 10)

2004- Dean: liberal and reasonable. Then Kucinich: way too hippie to win, but Dean dropped out. Then Kerry: anybody but Bush. (Age 14)

1968- I wasn't around.

1972- I wasn't around.

1976- I wasn't old enough to vote, though I probably would have voted for Ford.

1980- I wasn't old enough to vote.

1984- I wasn't old enough to vote, but I might have voted for *gasp* Reagan.

1988- Again, I wasn't old enough to vote and thank God, 'cause I probably would have voted for Bush.

1992- This is the first election I could vote. I voted for Clinton.

1996- Clinton.

2000- Gore.

2004- Kerry, even though I didn't like him very much. There was no way I was ever voting for Dubya.

1992: Clinton

1996: Clinton

2000: Nader. (Yah..I know.)

2004: Kerry.

the electoral system is broken. screw it.

what was that old Vulcan saying?

Oh yeah, "Only Nixon could go to China"

Gotta admit, Like Carter, Nixon also made an Great Former President.

Exactly. Nixon normalized relationships with China, and that was a GREAT thing, because with our influence, Communism was eliminated from China.

Hell, the protestors in Tianamen Square were protesting for Communism.

:rolleyes: :headbang:


EDIT: Darn that resignation and pardon!

And darn that 22nd Amendment!

(methinks you is trolling)

Yeah. Darn that Resignation and Pardon.

Also, the 22nd admendment, limits Presidents to Two Terms. That's true. But what if Nixon ran as a VICE PRESIDENT. Hehe...

I was born in '88, but here are my retrospective opinions:

1968: Humphrey (unenthusiastically)
1972: McGovern (slightly more enthusiastically)
1976: Carter
1980: Carter
1984: Mondale (anyone but Reagan, at that point)
1988: Dukakis (holding my nose at this point)
1992: Clinton (enthusiastically)
1996: Clinton
2000: Gore (ecstatically)
2004: Kerry (very, very, very eagerly)

Ok, I was born in 1971. The first Presidential election I was legally allowed to vote in was 1992. Therefore, my answers prior to 1992 are merely who I supported...hoped would win, or worked for their campaigns (yes, I volunteered for campaigns before I was old enough to vote.) In some cases, I will also note whom I supported in primaries as well as General Elections, others, I'm only listing who I supported, would have supported, or wish would have won in General Election only.

1968 - RFK (Fuck you, Sirhan Sirhan!!!) Since RFK got shot, I would have then supported Hubert Humphrey, but it is my sincere wish that RFK never got shot.

1972 - McGovern

1976 - Jimmy Carter

1980 - Jimmy Carter

1984 - Gary Hart (Primaries) Walter Mondale (General)

1988 - Michael Dukakis

1992 - Jerry Brown (Primaries) Bill Clinton (General) - Note, originally supported Ross Perot until he dropped out. At the time, GHW Bush was riding a cloud of popularity from Gulf War, and I did not believe Clinton could win. I hoped to throw enough electorals to Perot to throw the election to the House (then under Democratic control) and thus, get the Democratic Party candidate elected that way. Basically, I just wanted Bush OUT. In essence, my support for Perot was only because I saw him as a useful tool, a spoiler. And I hated Bush Sr. Then, Perot dropped, and the economy collapsed, Bush told a bunch of family members of POW-MIA's to "sit down and shut up" the economy imploded, "Read My Lips, No New Taxes" canme back to haunt him, as did, "It's The Economy, Stupid!" and it became clear Clinton COULD win...and then I threw my support to Clinton.

1996 - Clinton all the way. Never a qualm.

2000 - Interesting year for me, because I was denied the right to vote in the Primaries. I moved to Texas after they had had their Primaries, from Kentucky..BEFORE they had had their Primaries. In this manner I was denied an ability to vote in the Primaries. I supported Bill Bradley in the Primaries, because I lived in New Jersey wehn Bradley was my Senator, and he was a known quantity to me, and I liked and respected him. I also feared the "Clinton factor" as something that could defeat Al Gore. In the General Election, I supported Gore, but did not vote for him. As a Texas resident voting...I knew that my vote wasn't going to count for shit, Bush was gonna win Texas. Therefore...since I'd been denied the ability to vote in the Primaries (where I would have voted for Bradley) and since my Texas vote was worthless...I ended up writing in my vote for Bill Bradley for President, and myself for Vice President. (forget the fact that I'm STILL not old enough to legally hold the office of the Vice-Presidency, because I knew damn well I'd thrown my useless vote away, no way was MY vote going to end up being the winner) but at least I voted with my convictions, and voted Bill Bradley. For all he did for us while Senator from New Jersey, I owed him that vote. If I'd been in a state other than Texas, where my vote mighta made a difference, I woulda sucked it up and voted Gore.

2004 - I started out supporting Edwards in the Primaries. Then Dean...who'd looked at the start to have no chance whatsoever...suddenly appeared to be the candidate all but officially, and he spoke my language, as did Edwards, and so I began to support Dean. Then Dean blew it in spectacular fashion, and I rejoined the Edwards camp. Kerry was only slightly better than Lieberman or Gephart. Clark I never trusted, my feeling being that a leopard does not change his spots, and Clark had been a Republican. I was majorly upset when Kerry got the nomination. Texas allowed early voting in the Primary, and, though Kerry was a shoo-in by that time, I cast my Primary vote for Edwards, anyway. The very next day (before the official Texas Primary, but after I'd cast my vote in same...Edwards dropped out of the race, leaving Kerry the undisputed, and unchallenged candidate.) I was happy that Edwards got picked as VP, that at least gave me something to vote FOR....because, otherwise, my vote for Kerry would have actually been more a vote AGAINST Bush...rather than FOR Kerry. I still view my General Election vote (for the Kerry-Edwards ticket) to have been a vote for Edwards, rather than a vote for Kerry. But no matter what, I was firmly a part of the ABB (Anybody But Bush) crowd, and was highly pissed with Nader trying to be a fucking spoiler again. I'm still pissed at Nader for 2000! So...long story short in 2004, as a Texas resident, knowing my vote would not count once again...I voted Edwards in the Primary...and Kerry in the General.

Now, carrying this out to the next Election, 2008...well, I'd sure LIKE to support Barack Obama! but he may not have enough experience just yet to make a formidable candidate, and, given his race, he will have to be formidable when he does throw into the race, because too many bigots and racists will not consider voting for him based solely on his race, which is a damn bloody shame. Other possibles for 2008, I'd like to see Hillary try for it, though I'd not support her in Primaries - she's too DLC for me, and in my opinion, the DLC has shot the Democratic Party in the foot by moving too far right, abandoning a lot of our base on the left fringe, leaving us vulnerable to the likes of a strong third-party candidate like Nader. However, if Hillary won the primary, I'd still vote for her. Better Hillary than any Republican. Other possibles include Bill Richardson, former Governor of New Mexico, as well as Evan Bayh of Indiana as possible candidates. Dean, of course, is not going to be a candidate, but Wes Clark may run again. Out of all the possibles I have mentioned, I'd best like to support Obama, because, again, he speak my language. I hate to say this, but I may end up supporting Wes Clark as the most viable candidate. Not that I like or trust him...but he may be our best chance to win, because they sure couldn't attack Clark on the military/national security issue! At any rate, 2008 will prove very interesting. But, whatever the outcome is, I expect to be supporting the Democratic candidate, whoever it turns out to be...in the 2008 election. The worst Democrat is still better than the best Republican, in my not-so-humble opinion.

Okay, I could only vote in 2000, so-

2000- Ralph Nader

2004- George Bush

And if you don't think I'm embarresed to admit I was ever stupid enough to belive Ralph Nader would make a good president, you're wrong.The problem isn't that you thought that Ralph Nader wouldn't have made a good president, as he would have. The problem is that you thought (think?) that GWB had been a good president, and voted for him.

Ross Perot is a great candidate. He embodies the American Dream.

He didn't start very rich. His dad worked in mother ****ing cotton.

But with Hard Work, and lots of other stuff, he was able to climb to the top, and become a billionaire. This is the type of Man I want as president. Someone who embodies the American Dream.

Who did you support... (The American Presidential Elections mind you) in... (Or who did you wish would win, if you weren't around back then.)

1968- Nixon

1972- Nixon

1976- Carter

1980- Regan

1988- Bush---> First time I could vote, was 19.

1984-Lyndon Larouche

1988-Lyndon Larouche

1992-Lyndon Larouche

1996-Lyndon Larouche

2000-Lyndon Larouche

2004-Lyndon Larouche

Isn't it amazing that, when you are in JAIL, you cannot vote, yet you can still run for President??

Ok, so yeah, maybe Nixon should have ordered a full-scale invasion of Cambodia, but then again, it's just one thing. You don't see me totally pissed at Clinton for not invading Rwanda.

Watergate. I don't see anything criminal about it.

You know, it was more the cover-up than the actual crime that brought Nixon low. If he would have come out, the day after the taped latch was discovered, and said, yes, we did this...probably nothing would have come of it.

Nixon shoulda come clean early, he had enough popularity to where he likely woulda beaten the rap. The cover-up turned out to be his undoing.

As I wasn't born until 1974...

1968-(Glad) Nixon

1972-(Glad) Nixon

1976-(Wish) Reagan

1980-(Glad) Reagan

1984-(Glad) Reagan

1988-(Glad) Bush

Why am I not surprised Stinky Head Cheese would support the men (and woman) I find the absolutely most repugnant?

THAT is precisely why I supported Edwards in 2004! Born on the wrong side of the tracks, his dad worked in the textile mills, and John was the first in his family to go to college, and he made something of himself. In many ways, I see a lot of my own dreams and ambitions (which may never be realized for me personally) realized in Edwards, and I sorta could have lived a bit vicariously through a guy like Edwards. In short, I admired the hell outta the guy, and I only wish I can one day manage to realize my dreams, as he did...and pull myself off the shit heap.

If Edwards ran as President instead of Vice President, he could actually win.

Honestly, for 2008, he's the Democrats best bet. Depending on who the Republicans run, I might vote Edwards. (If the Republicans run anyone but McCain, I would vote Edwards for sure. If they ran McCain, I wouldn't be too sure...)

I just don't think Edwards will run. too long out of the public eye, name recognition may be a problem for him...as well as being outside of Washington for as long. But I'd sure like to see Edwards run again!

If he ran again, I'd vote for him in the primaries against all except possibly Barack Obama. That would be a hard call for me, because I like and respect both men...both came up the hard way, and made something of themselves from nothing at all...and both speak my language! Damn it would be a hard call.

Someone else suggested Al Gore. I'd like to see him run, too, if he's going to be the way he's been lately, and not the wooden Al Gore we saw in 2000. That would make it REAL TOUGH for me to decide.

I now live in Pennsylvania, by the way...and I'm unsure as to how early or late we have primaries here.

Thank goodness I don't have to go through the Democrat Primaries. It's pretty simple.

Target: McCain.

Termin-I mean votinate.

With my little knowledge of pretty much every election before '04(Only time I really paid attention), here is my following list:

'68/Kennedy. Even if he was dead, I would just write in the name of any Kennedy.

'72/McGovern. I've got some of his campaign pins on my stuffed crab in my room. Doves...WTF?

'76/Carter. Why? Well, he was a democrat...Yeah, that's my pethetic reasoning.

'80/Carter. Well, he was already President...so...

'84/Flying Spaghetti Monster. GOD, why couldn't they have elected it?!

'88/Bush. Just so the next guy would go up against him and...

'92/Clinton. ...Win. Would have been in much worse shape if this guy was not in office.

'96/Clinton. Same reason as above.

'00/Nader. Damn Liberman! I like my Viddy Gamez...

'04/Kerry. At least the fuc*er could read. Jesus, you know that Bush accused the Democrats of treating Welfare like A GOVERNMENT PROGRAM. OMGWTFBBQ!!!one11!

Why am I not surprised Stinky Head Cheese would support the men (and woman) I find the absolutely most repugnant?
Why are you such a nasty negative person?

Yeah, he went on to be a schister lawyer who claimed to channel dead babies and clamied that if he and Kerry won, that Christopher reeves would walk. He made millions of off of suing innocent people on the basis of huckster science and by manipulating stupid people onto juries, and then manipulated them while on the juries with junk science and lies. Good role model, and good candidate.
:rolleyes:

Here's the quote:

"They want the federal government controlling Social Security like it's some kind of federal program." —George W. Bush

Odd, I distinctly remember him saying "Welfare."

Why am I not surprised Stinky Head Cheese would support the men (and woman) I find the absolutely most repugnant?
You supported an abulance chasing lawyer, so whatever.

Hmm...and I'M the one who is "such a nasty negative person...:rolleyes:
I think what you mean is..."why won't you be a nasty, negative person who agrees with my political ideology?" Because anyone who holds YOUR ideology is...by definition, a nasty, negative person. At least, that's all you show to the poor people. Maybe you're nice to rich guys, but poor people...fuck 'em!!

Don't bother responding, I won't see it.

Funny, I voted for Clinton twice, Al Gore once, and John Kerry once, so I don't think you know anything about my political idealogy.

Troll.

You supported an abulance chasing lawyer, so whatever.

Yeah?
And you supported a guy who, in violation of treaty, sold arms to Iran...illegally diverted the money from those sales to the Contras that Congress specifically forbade him to help, then later lied to Congress about the entire affair, claiming he could not remember doing that (although perhaps he was being truthful there, we DO know he later was diagnosed with Alzheimer's) but Ollie North knew the truth, and he lied to Congress. So did a bunch of the rest of the Reagan Administration. Hell...225 different people in the Ronald Reagan Administration quit, were fired, arrested, indicted, or convicted of breaking the law or violating the ethics code...225 different people! and Edwin Meese alone...Edwin Meese alone was investigated by FOUR SEPERATE SPECIAL PROSECUTORS!! Now, really think about that...Four seperate special prosecutors had to look into the affairs of the Atttorney General!! And the Attorney General is the nation's leading law enforcement officer!!

Then you supported a guy who told families of POW-MIA's to "sit down and shut up" HEY!! Way to support them troops, man!

And I'm not even going to get into the total unmitigated fucking disaster that has been GW Bush.

So, I supported a "shyster lawyer?" You'd better come up with some documentation that the man was crooked and did illegal or unethical things, if you are going to accuse the man in a public forum, because that is libel.

Nevertheless, the guys you have supported are worse than the ones I have. and I can say that, because everything I said about Reagan and Bush Sr. is well-documented and commonly known public knowledge.

Troll.

You were the troll first. You called me a nasty, negative person. That was an insult. that is flaming, and against NS rules. The only reason I saw your response is you beat me to the punch.

Goodbye.

So perhaps you should report me then, and stop being such a nasty negative person.

1968- Robert Kennedy - I would have written him in despite his death.

1972- George McGovern - For his anti-war stance more than any other reason.

1976- Gerald Ford - Carter was elected based on his "outsider" status. I don't like voting for "outsiders"

1980- Ronald Reagan - I don't think that anyone, in hindsight, can honestly say that Carter was anything resembling a good president.

*I am born, 1983

1984- David Bergland - A protest vote. I sure as hell wouldn't vote for Reagan or Mondale at that point in time, so my vote goes Libertarian here.

1988- George H.W. Bush - As much as I agree with some of Dukakis' stances, I would definetly prefer the man with 8 years of experience as VP.

1992- George H.W. Bush - While I was only 9, I remember wanting Bush to win. Looking back, I think I may have been dropped on my head, but I'll stick with my younger selfs opinion.

1996- Bill Clinton - This was the first election in which I actually had formed something resembling a valid opinion. Dole struck me as in over his head, and obviously the nation felt the same way.

2000- Al Gore - As stated above, I don't like voting for "outsiders", which is what Bush potrayed himself as. I also like voting for candidates with 8 years of experience as VP. Unfortunatley, the election occured about three months before my 18th birthday, so I couldn't vote.

2004- John Kerry - Yeah...I held my nose and did it. I voted for Wes Clark in the primaries, despite the fact that he had withdrawn from the race the day before the Wisconsin primaries occured. I was definetly part of the "Anybody but Bush" crowd.

Yep...that's about it. :)

1968- Hubert H. Humphrey

1972- George McGovern

1976- Jimmy Carter

1980- Jimmy Carter

1984- Walter F. Mondale

1988- Michael S. Dukakis

1992- William J. Clinton

1996- William J. Clinton

2000- Ralph Nader

I now live in Pennsylvania, by the way...and I'm unsure as to how early or late we have primaries here.Our primaries are late, either late April or early May. They're working on changing that, though.

1984 - First voting election, hooray. - Mondale

1988 - Bush, hated Dukakis.

1992 - Clinton

1996 - Clinton

2000 - Gore

2004 - John Kerry, even though his running mate is a shyster lawyer scumbag.

I will vote Democrat, Green, or Socialist in 2008 and 2012. New Jersey is pretty solid Democrat. After that, I will likely be in Europe or Asia.
