You went from 8 years of Reagan to vote for Tank boy in 1988?

I am not buying it.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

I voted for Nixon in 72 at age 18 and I voted for Ford in 76. I haven’t voted for a Republican at the state or national level since. Nor will I ever. I wasn’t a Republican back then. I was an ill informed dumbass.

And then you scrambled your brain on drugs and turned into a bigger, older dumbass. :loser: :loser: :lmao:

The thread isn't believable because there was no mention of John Anderson in 1980.  The Republican Rep. from Illinois who ran to the Left of Reagan and got 7% of the vote in the General, after switching to an Independent candidate.

I remember Carter backing-out of a 3-way debate, complaining it was unfair to face 'two Republicans'.  I watched it, but nothing notable came out of it because all I can remember is Reagan and Anderson talking.

I voted for Anderson, btw.  Reagan looked weak after muffing his VP-choice, with Kissinger, Lyn Nofziger, Ed Meese, et al, trying to get Gerry Ford on the ticket as a 'Co-President'.  Too bad the internet and 24-hour news weren't around then.
