Not so, I voted for Nixon... the first time. He promised to end the war.
I was very angry when he betrayed me, and actively campaigned against him the second time. I called off my engagement when she told me she had voted for Nixon because her boss told her it would be good for business.
Yes, that angry.

The right wingers, which are all around me, are telling me they voted for Romney and he should have won, but Obamaites stole the election. The political climate has changed so much, I think we'll hear a lot of that for the next four years.

Me too !!!

Maybe it was Nixon that turned me into such a mild mannered, wishy washy liberal.

I voted for Bush the first time too, because Gore gave me the creeps.
There again, he pissed me off... although it was probably Cheney that pissed me off the most.

this was my first presidential election, and i'm pretty proud to say my first ever presidential vote was for Obama. I mean, sure, that's true of a lot of people, but still, its real historically significant and will feel really cool to be able to say in a few decades.

I think my first vote was for Dukakis.

OK, I'll admit it. Reagan in 1984.

But I did vote for Dukakis in '88. I really liked him!

Mondale and Dukakis

The Dem's were on a roll back then

SNL skit at that time:

Sam Donaldson: Vice-President Bush, there are millions of homeless in this country - children who go hungry, and lacking in other basic necessities. How would the Bush administration achieve your stated goal of making this a kinder, gentler nation?

George Bush: Well, that is a big problem, Sam, and unfortunately the format of these debates makes it hard to give you a complete answer. If I had more time, I could spell out the program in greater detail, but I'm afraid, in a short answer like this, all I can say is we're on track - we can do more - but we're getting the job done, so let's stay on course, a thousand points of light. Well, unfortunately, I guess my time is up.

Diane Sawyer: Mr. Vice-President, you still have a minute-twenty.

George Bush: What? That can't be right. I must have spoken for at least two minutes.

Diane Sawyer: No, just forty seconds, Mr. Vice-President.

George Bush: Really? Well, if I didn't use the time then, I must have just used the time now, talking about it.

Diane Sawyer: No, no, Mr. Vice-President, it's not being counted against you.

George Bush: Well, I just don't want it to count against Governor Dukakis' time.

Diane Sawyer: It won't. It will come out of the post-debate commentary.

George Bush: Do you think that's a good idea?

Diane Sawyer: You still have a minute-twenty, Mr. Vice-President.

George Bush: Well, more has to be done, sure. But the programs we have in place are doing the job, so let's keep on track and stay the course.

Diane Sawyer: You have fifty seconds left, Mr. Vice-President.

George Bush: Let me sum up. On track, stay the course. Thousand points of light.

Diane Sawyer: Governor Dukakis. Rebuttal?

Michael Dukakis: I can't believe I'm losing to this guy!

Jon Lovitz as Dukakis
Dana Carvey as GHW Bush
Jan Hooks as Diane Sawyer
Kevin Nealon as Sam Donaldson

He looked like a cartoon in that tank wearing that helmet.

I'm still bitter about the dean-scream incident. Especially since it was perfectly reasonable for him to be as fired up as the crowd. but when you cut the audio to drown out the crowd screaming back at him and just play him shouting "YEAH!"...

I absolutely adore Howard Dean and hopes he gets properly back into politics soon, either nationally or here in Vermont.

Big Sarge 11-28-2012 04:50 PM

Pure BS! It is all based upon one's perspective. The Democrats are no saints with their campaign contributions from Asia

BigV 11-28-2012 07:42 PM

saints? what saints?
