I'm Finally Registered To Vote! Are You?
I never voted Republican before until Jimmy Carter came up for re-election in 1980, and I went with Ronald Reagan. Since then it's varied. I've voted Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, and maybe others.
I don't know who I'm going to vote for in the upcoming presidential race, but it definitely won't be Obama.

A lot of people don't register because there is no one to vote for. Very true but occassionally there is someone that holds promise. I registered because I vote on the levies,referendums and intiatives. They have more effect on your day to day life,like the medicinal marijuana issue. And the other reason to register is to be able to sit on some of these bullshit drug possession cases.

I'm a card-carrying, money-contributing, PAC-influencing, pledged county delegate, pro-bono speechwriting (for local and state candidates) liberal Democrat and proud of it. I vote this way because I read. I think. And I care.
It is really interesting how people end up with particular political views. Your reasons for voting liberal Democrat, plus my education and my experience working for a governmental agency
are the reasons that I have tended to be a conservative Libertarian Republican.

Likewise, I've voted Democrat, Republican, Libertarian....but all in all I think I fall in the same catagory as you.
I LOVE to see when the dems state they "care" when they want to leave Iraq in worse shape that we entered. Not to caring in my book. Is it going to be "caring" when another 2.5 million barrels/day of oil isn't in the market and the middle and lower class take the major hit with the energy bill and gas prices IF this were to happen? What's our last president elected that had a GROUP of friends that were racists? I guess I read something....
Hillary was a bad option...Obama is completely out of the question.
Have a good one!:s4:

I was hauled out of senior high school classes in Feburary 1967 and loaded unto school buses and taken downtown to register to vote. (you could vote in KY and GA in 1967 at 18..:thumbsup:)...Hell...I thought we were voting then...I said..."I'm not voting for LBJ...we don't need a president from Texas anymore."
anyways...I have been registered to vote ever since. Don't always vote...but..ready...in case I see something I like.
I was so much older then...I'm younger than that now.

Sure am. Registered Republican, don't always vote that way. Just depends. I have no excuse not to vote, because even though I live out in the middle of nowhere, my local voting place is right in my backyard at the municipal building.
This coming election? I am still undecided.

I have been registered to vote since 1974 when the laws were changed to allow 18 year old and older the privilage of voting. Even when I was in the military and was out to sea, we were able to vote by absentee ballot, and I have not missed voting but twice since then.

Registered in every category and have voted mostly in Lib.; Dem and Rep! Haven't missed an election since the late '60's! I did not vote once, because tv was stating my candidate was winning by a landslide and I needed to stay and work (even though they aren't suppose to hole me, my patients needed me!" My canidate won and I was tired!
My father never voted and bitched about the politician's; I feel you have no right to bitch about it, if you do not try to make it better, by participating! I would really love a candidate I could really sink my teeth into and just want more than tomorrow! I hope I see it in my lifetime! :jointsmile:
