[WalterMitty]

[Jake]

68 Wallace
48 Thurmond

[J-Mann]

I would have voted for Ross Perot in 1992; my dad did, though I think my mom voted for Bush.  I was only 10 at the time, so I may well not have voted Perot had I been more politically aware.

I did vote for Dennis Hawver for Kansas governor in 2002 - the libertarian candidate.

George C. Wallace, 19680- American Independent

July 8, 19680.  A new age of humanity is born.  The United Empire of Alabama discovers cloning.  An army of George C. Wallaces is cloned... beginning THE CLONE WAR! =-O

[they don't love you like i love you]

1832 - William Wirt - Anti-Masonic (no real good choices and the Mason creep me out)
1892 - James Weaver - Populist (by then I would've realized both Cleveland and Harrison suck)
1912 - Teddy Roosevelt - Progressive (enough said!)
1916 - Allan Benson - Socialist (with hindsight I would definately not vote Wilson, his second term was an utter disaster)
1928 - Robert LaFollette - Progressive (both Davis and Coolidge suck a lot)

and maybe Eugene Debs at some time.

Third party candidate I will never ever vote for under any circumstances whatsoever:

Ralph Nader

[FerrisBueller86]

68 Wallace
48 Thurmond

Why?  They were segregationists, and I don't think anyone today wants a return to the Bad Old Days of segregation.

Why wouldn't you have voted for Reagan given that you are a Republican?  I thought that Reagan IS the folk hero to Republicans.

Although my parents have always been Democrats, they voted for John Anderson in 1980 because they were disappointed in Carter over inflation and the hostage crisis.

[Sam Spade]

Some people in 1980 thought Reagan was not intellectually strong enough or thought he was too far right.  Fortunately for him, they liked him personally and thought Carter was a disaster, especially in the South.  That's where Carter's numbers fell disasterously.

Third parties for me:

'48 Thurmond
'68 Wallace
'76 Maddox
'92 & '96 Perot

im not, nor was i ever, a big ronald reagan fan.

he was a good, decent man.  but he was also a media whore, in the john mccain sense of the term.

i blame reagan for the defeat of gerald ford in 76.  that is unforgivable, in my opinion.

68 Wallace
48 Thurmond

Thurmond fought for state's rights and conservative values and the choice of Truman who screwed up Korea and Dewey who was a 1940s RINO, would put me in the Dixiecrat camp.

Wallace was the only good candidate out Nixon a social liberal who wouldn't fight Vietnam and HHH who was the VP in the administration that screwed up fighting in Korea.

Thinking over it, I might've voted for Ron Paul in '88.

Strom also fought very hard to keep the "negras" from voting.  He held some pretty despicable ideas in 1948 and in light of the news that came out after his death he was a pretty big hypocrite about it all.He was a "man of his times" though.
