Who would you have voted for in in past presidential elections?

[Emperor SJoyce]

Am I the only person who would have voted Republican in every election since the party was founded?

It takes a special kind of person to approach that level of partisan hackery, yes.

1789: Clinton and Henry
1792: Clinton and Jefferson
1796: Jefferson and Burr
1800: Jefferson and Burr
1804: Jefferson

1816: King
1820: Abstain
1824: Crawford
1828: Abstain
1832: Floyd
1836: White
1840: Van Buren
1844: Birney

1900: Bryan
1904: Parker

1912: Debs
1916: Benson
1920: Debs
1924: Davis

1948: Thurmond
1952: Stevenson
1956: Andrews
1960: Sullivan
1964: Goldwater
1968: Cleaver
1972: Hospers
1976: MacBride
1980: Clark
1984: Bergland

1992: Marrou
1996: Browne

2008: Baldwin
2012: Johnson

Why Debs,Thomas,Thurmond,Baldwin?.

Debs' overt socialism was preferable to the corporatist "Progressivism" of his opponents. Thomas was the only choice opposed to interventionism. Thurmond is a protest vote against the welfare statism and interventionism of his opponents. Baldwin is less nausea-inducing than Barr.

Looks like you're mainly in the Hamiltonian tradition.  What appeals to you about AuH2O over LBJ?

I probably would have supported Nelson Rockefeller in the 1964 primaries, but I would have backed Goldwater once he got the Republican nomination because he was the party's nominee and I would have felt that we needed to unite behind him.  He may have opposed the 1964 CRA, but it was on constitutional grounds (phony constitutional grounds, may I add, because of the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.)  He was a founding member of the NAACP in Arizona and was instrumental in making his family's business one of the first in the state to desegregate.  He also supported the 1957 and 1960 CRAs.  Johnson, ironically, tried to portray Goldwater as a racist for his vote, but Goldwater's overall civil rights record was much better than that of the racist and political opportunist Johnson.

What's with the topic merge? I was asking which candidate was better as a person, not who they would vote for. I wouldn't have voted for Bush, but I think he's a better person than Kerry.

This is the Presidential Election Results forum.  As far as this forum is concerned, there is no other way to judge who is better than by votes.
