OMG I'VE BEEN OUTED! I might as well confess to you my friends in the lounge

[LynneSin]

I voted for a republican in both 1986 AND 1994

What did I know - I was young and crazy and didn't like anti-choice democrats in Pennsylvania. I was cured of republicanism on 12/12/2000 when the Supreme Court picked George Bush (although mind you it was 1994 that I last voted republican).

[TK421]

1. Poopyhead....I don't like you any more!!

x( Well, at least you were cured

[LynneSin]

3. come on fess up - didn't you vote republican once in your lifetime

:eyes:

[TK421]

4. Nope...sorry! I guess you're on your own there

:D

[LynneSin]

13. what happened to that "I got your back if you got mine"

:cry:

[TK421]

17. Of course I got your back!

:pals: you....just don't let anything like that ever happen again, K?

[LynneSin]

18. I was cured on 12/12/2000 - I swore NEVER again I would vote republicanism

but is it ok that I just don't like Chris Matthews as a potential democrat US Senator candidate?

[TK421]

20. As far as I'm concerned, I just don't see how he is qualified for the job

and he certainly doesn't have many fans here...it's a shame there isn't someone else so yes, its OK.

[LynneSin]

22. Wait a minute - he hasn't announced he's running and there could be others

I'm hoping Joe Sestak runs. I campaigned for his house seat in 2006 when he had an upset victory over incumbant Curt Weldon.

[TK421]

27. I was under the impression he has, guess I'm wrong

You think Sestak will run?

[LynneSin]

29. Who knows

Honestly, I don' think a dem can beat Specter, he gets way too many democratic votes in Philadelphia.

But I read where Pat Toomey might go against him in the primaries. If we can pick Specter off then, then the senate seat would be an easy pickup for the democrats. Toomey is another Santorum - He might win the the primaries provided that dems don't cross over just to vote for Specter.

[Chan790]

39. Worse.

I worked on a republican's election campaign for city council in DC. He was a college classmate and he somehow got the university to sign off on accepting his campaign in lieu of an honor's thesis.

[MissMillie]

2. I voted for Buchanan in the MA primary in '88

I figured Tsongas would take MA w/o my help, and if I went to the GOP primary I could vote to take a vote away from GHW Bush.

So that's what I did.

[BOSSHOG]

5. I voted for Gerald Ford in 76

I still stand by that vote but I haven't vote for an (R) since.

[madinmaryland]

6. I voted for Lowell Weicker in 88 (lost to Lieberman) and Lieberman in 2000.

:shrug:

[KansDem]

7. I voted for John Anderson in 1980.

Does that count as "voting Republican?" Or would it be "voting former-Republican?"

[regnaD kciN]

45. So did I...

...but he had left the Republican Party by that time, and was running as an independent.

[Iggo]

8. Hey, I voted for Reagan in '80.

Eighteen, first time out of the gate, and I blew it.

Haven't voted for a republican since.

EDIT: Probably more like nineteen...but still.

[LynneSin]

9. OMG!!! And I was raked over the coals for Specter

Seriously *** ALERT ALERT *** BAN BAN BAN BAN IGGO BAN BAN BAN BAN

:hide:

[motely36]

26. I voted for Spector once

Not the last time but the time before. I think it's the only time :hi:

[sasquatch]

10. Which validates our despising of Deleware and their tyrannical toll booths

:P

[Tommy_Carcetti]

11. Sigh. I voted for a Republican in 2008.

County Commissioner. Protest vote. Our (unfortunately) Dem commissioner is a loudmouth egotistical corrupt a-hole. He was going to win in a landslide anyways because he is the king of pandering to the huge senior citizen vote, but I decided to protest and voted for the sacrificial GOP lamb. Who was she? Who knows. All I know was she was going to lose anyways and there was no way I was voting for that idiot.

[LynneSin]

12. my greatest sin is not really wanting to see Chris Matthews as a senator

I just don't trust the guy

[CaliforniaPeggy]

14. I voted for a Republican too...

I don't regret it, either...

It was a non-partisan race, and she was very moderate. She was running for LA County's Board of Supervisors, and she would have been excellent.

But no, she lost. The bloated Dem got it, and he still has the seat.

[graywarrior]

15. I never voted for a republican but that sure doesn't make me better than you.

[LynneSin]

16. Because everyone knows I'm better than you!!

:hide:

Oh I'm so going to get my ass kicked for that one aren't I

:cry:

[graywarrior]

21. LOL, watch out...I can be like

[Deep13]

19. You mean for Congress or some state office? nt

[LynneSin]

23. No for Prom King (in 1986) and President of my Sorority (1994)

:crazy:

[ScreamingMeemie]

24. I totally figured.

:eyes:

[LynneSin]

25. You're one to talk - you just moved to a RED STATE

And the quazi-home of that idiot George Bush.

You could have stayed Blue

:cry:

[ScreamingMeemie]

30. Yes, but my county is bluer than the one I'm in now.

Woot! :bounce:

[LynneSin]

32. Who are your senators and governor?

Nuff said!

Me - BLUE BLUE and just appointed another BLUE

[ScreamingMeemie]

33. Yes, darling, but I never voted red.

:P

[LynneSin]

34. DAMN YOU WOMAN!!!

:loveya:

[ScreamingMeemie]

46. ...

:loveya:

[LostinVA]

53. It's quasi, Freeper

[JVS]

28. Repeat offender!

AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH! *Insert picture of Donald Sutherland pointing*

[derby378]

31. You're in good company

I never voted for a Republican candidate for President, oddly enough, but the last time I ever voted for any Republican was in 2000. Cast my vote for McCain in the primaries instead of Bush. Since November of 2000, no more votes for Republicans.

[edbermac]

35. Voted for William Weld for Mass governor.

Was pro-choice and a Deadhead to boot. The Dem candidates were total stiffs.

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

36. That's it- it's time to pay your dues.

To the Comfy Chair with you!

[Fire Walk With Me]

37. I hope you know this will go down on your permanent record ...

[bbernardini]

38. I voted for one a while back because the Democrats were using eminent domain...

...for a really stupid reason. They wanted to take somebody's farm so they could build a golf course. The idea was that people would go to the golf course, then come into town for shopping and eating. Unfortunately, downtown is what one might call "craptacular," and there was no chance in hell anybody would go there (especially since the golf course would be situated right by the business route bypass). They didn't seem to comprehend that the downtown needed to be rehabilitated FIRST. (There isn't even a good grocery store in the downtown area. Just a bunch of bodega-esque places and approximately 20 zillion small Mexican grocery stores. Not that I'm complaining about that, mind you...mmm...Mexican food. But I digress.)

[Critters2]

40. I voted for the Green candidate for governor in 2006.

If more people had done the same, our governor wouldn't be headed to prison now.

Sometimes there are good reason to vote for the other guy. Not often. Not usually. But sometimes.

[Shell Beau]

41. It could be worse!

I think!

:P

[LaurenG]

42. Oooo that sucks - I voted for a republican before too

:7 Republicans are not what they used to be though so I'll give you a pass, no worries.

[LaydeeBug]

43. Never in all my years...

not once. It's not that I didn't listen to what they had to say, I just never voted for one.

I did vote third party for Congress once. :woohoo:

[regnaD kciN]

44. I've voted for Republicans twice in my life...

Once was for Francis Sargent over Michael Dukakis for Massachusetts governor in '74. (He was one of the last of the progressive Republicans, and a family friend -- needless to say, he lost.)

The other was for Brian Derdowski for King County Council sometime in the early '90s. Once again, he was a "maverick" (sorry!) environmentalist Republican who, after being knocked out in a primary challenge from a more standard Republican the next time around, switched his party affiliation to Democrat.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

47. Don't worry I voted for McCain

:hide:

[NMDemDist2]

48. I did too once

in Arizona, the first election we lived there.

there was no Democratic challenger though

:P

I'm thinking now if I EVER voted for another Repuke for Federal office and I'm thinking 'no, I haven't'

but....... the entire 80's are a little hazy in my memories :hide:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

49. I was actually just joking

I respect McCain, though. I think he would have been a much tougher opponent this election if they didn't give him that fucking whackjob Palin as a running mate.

[NMDemDist2]

50. silly you, I knew you were.

and McCain jumped the shark in 2001, I lost all respect for him after that.....

:hug:

[cemaphonic]

51. Hell, I voted for a Republican this year.

Local office - both were social liberal, fiscal conservative moderates, and in many ways the R was the more progressive of the two. Not economically, but it wasn't really a position where the economic philosophy would make much of a difference, and they were pretty close anyway.

[kaiden]

52. Oh hell. My first vote was for Nixon in 1972.

[Arugula Latte]

54. I voted for the Republican woman who ran against mayor Marion Barry in Washington DC

You might remember crackhead Marion "goddamn bitch set me up" Barry. This woman ran against him in the early '90s ... maybe '92? I can't remember her name. Anyway, she was quite liberal and would have been a Democrat almost anywhere else. I voted for her, but Barry won anyway. Shit, even when I vote Republican I lose. But that was the first and last time I've ever voted for an "R."
