Never had to. Thankfully I was lazy as a liberal when it came to voting. :cheersmate:

Ideologically, I was very liberal up until about age 23. Liberal, but apolitical if that makes sense.

Not only NO, but never ever, Hell naw, not in a million years, you couldn't get me that drunk, NO!!

We don't have party affiliations in Tennessee, but I have never voted for a Democrat.  Ever.

I am so ashamed.  I voted for Bill Clinton.

I know I know, go to the corner now.

My husband has never forgiven me for it either.  I have not voted for a Democrat since.

I was lazy politically my friend. I didn't have a mama's basement to live in so lazy with work: not so much if I wanted to eat and not live in a cardboard box.  :-)

I did, for purely tactical reasons in a gubernatorial primary a couple of years back.

When I registered to vote in 1966, your only choice was Democrat.....you'd have to have lived in a small southern county at that time to understand that.

BUT I have NEVER VOTED for a democrat if I had a choice.

The democrat primary in June was our local election. A choice between dim candidates is all we had.  Thanks mostly to the efforts of my X-wife that changed in 1979. God bless her, she wasn't all bad.... :-)

BTW, I guess I'm still registered as a democrat because I've never changed it.

Yes, I voted for Dukakis in 1988 and was a registered Democrat when I was young and stupid.

I changed my party affiliation to Republican in 1992, and I've voted for a Republican in every Presidential election since.
