I have been registered to vote since I turned 18 in 1971. I voted in my first presidential election (for Walter Mondale) in 1972 and have voted in every one since. I have never voted for a Republican for any office since I first registered. I hated Nixon, I hated Regan and I hated Bush and Bush Redux. I never hated Ford. He was just a bumbling fool and Betty was actually kinda cool. You knew who wore the pants in that family. But I didn't vote for him either.
