Probably vote straight GOP since 1856.

You do realize that the GOP and the Democrats have completely switched on most issues since this time?

That's a cute myth liberals like to tell themselves so that they can forget that Democrats championed racism for 130 years.

So is the Republican party still the party of activist government, labor rights, conservation, and business regulation?

The old GOP had both conservative and progressive wings.  Also remember that in 1936 FDR wouldn't shake hands with Jesse Owens, while Alf Landon was a good friend of his.

Until 1896 the two parties were very similar, and after that both parties had battles between progressives and conservatives at every convention until after the New Deal when Republicans were overwhelmingly conservative and Democrats overwhelmingly liberal.

Yes, and the GOP's tactics in the North didn't at all involve outright racism against "the lowly" races of Europe combined with a self-righteous Protestant crusade against "the Unholy Church."  And the Northern Republican Parties didn't at all embrace the Ku Klux Klan when they adopted bleedingheart anti-Catholic and anti-Semitic rhetoric and causes.
ANd this is even before we get into the whole "Southern Strategy" bit.

Of course, when it's coming from the enlightened, none dare call it racism or hypocrisy!

EDIT: Of course this isn't to say that the Democrats weren't campaigning off of racism, but let us not act like it was a one sided affair or that Republican bigotry was at all justified.  It was not, no matter how anti-black many paddies were or how many Catholics obeyed political machines.  Point is this is a pathetic debating point and you all need to look at the parties through more than cheap rosy tinted colored glasses through the lens of a few issues.

When was the Republican Party "pro-labor"?  During Grant, lol?

EDIT: Well aware of left wing Republicans like LaFollette and Borah, but when in the blue hell was the party as a whole "pro-labor"?

Did this translate into much policy action? Not really. There were, however, workerist adjunct organizations to the Republican Party, such as the American Workers League, founded in the early 1850s.

This idea that the Civil War-era GOP was as ever the Party of the big bourgeoisie is held to only by historical illiterates who insist on a continuous history of the last fifteen decades.

[Meursault]

By the way, leading Republicans like Charles Sumner and Wendell Phillips were members of Karl Marx's own International Working Men's Association.

Oh, I completely agree!  Just saying the original post I quoted is totally off.

Any party who's the majority party in the Union is going to seem activist.  Is that really a liberal thing?  Are you guys ready to embrace Bush 43 or just the big government Presidents you like?

Addressing both your first a second point, an activist government back then was seen as pro-business, implementing a protective tariff.  When that policy no longer benefited big business ('30s and on), the GOP dropped it like a rock.

You got me on conservation, and I'm really ashamed that we've strayed from those roots.

Your last assertion is just ridiculous.

AFAIK, universal white male suffrage came to Kentucky in 1800. However, given that the Atlas doesn't have state level information for votes in Kentucky prior to 1824, I'll start there and limit myself only to candidates on the ballot in Kentucky since 1824 in this list.

1824: Andrew Jackson (Republican)
1828: Andrew Jackson (Democratic)
1832: Andrew Jackson (Democratic)
1836: Martin Van Buren (Democratic)
1840: Martin Van Buren (Democratic)
1844: Henry Clay (Whig) - I'd have supported Van Buren at the Democratic National Convention and then be upset enough about the nomination of a pro-annexation Democrat to back my home state's very own statesman, in his third bid for the White House. I think I could stomach voting for the Whigs at this point, given the seeming normalization of universal suffrage (for white men) and the lack of any attempt (thus far) to rescind it.
1848: Zachary Taylor (Whig)
1852: John P. Hale (Free Soil) - Finally! Someone that I can get behind that isn't a tool of the industrialists or a slavery apologist. I'd probably be fairly enthusiastic about the Free Soil Party, given it's origins in the labor movement of that day and age.
1856: James Buchanan (Democratic) - Republicans aren't on the ballot in Kentucky and there's no way I'm voting for the guy responsible for the Compromise of 1850. Buchanan however is likewise vile, so this vote is probably made with my nose pinched.
1860: Abraham Lincoln (Republican)
1864: Abraham Lincoln (Union Republican) - The Union forever! Hurrah boys, hurrah!
1868: Ulysses Grant (Republican)
1872: Charles O'Conor (Independent Democratic) - Wow, that vote for Grant has lead to mass corruption and takeover of the Treasury by industrialists. At the same time, I'm definitely not about to back Horace Greeley, who has no position whatsoever on the money question, so O'Conor it is. (And I'm not extremely enthusiastic about that either, given his former apologism for slavery and the Confederacy)
1876: Samuel Tilden (Democratic)
1880: James Weaver (Greenback)
1884: Benjamin Butler (Greenback)
1888: Alson Streeter (Union Labor)
1892: James Weaver (People's)
1896: William Bryan (Democratic)
1900: Eugene Debs (Social Democratic)
1904: Eugene Debs (Socialist)
1908: Eugene Debs (Socialist)
1912: Eugene Debs (Socialist)
1916: Allan Benson (Socialist)
1920: Eugene Debs (Socialist)
1924: Robert LaFollette (Progressive) - I would prefer someone a bit more revolutionary, but the Commies on the ballot here are nobodies and the Workers' Party of America was tacitly supporting efforts at building a mass farmer-labor party during this period, so I suppose I'd suck it up and vote for LaFollette.
1928: William Foster (Communist)
1932: William Foster (Communist)
1936: Norman Thomas (Socialist) - Not a fan of Browderism and increasingly skeptical of the Soviet Union at this point, I'd wager, especially with the crushing of the revolutionary left in Catalonia.
1940: Norman Thomas (Socialist) - Definitely not excited about the prospect of another world war.
1944: Norman Thomas (Socialist)
1948: Norman Thomas (Socialist) - Not voting for Wallace or Truman
1952: Eric Hass (Socialist Labor) - Wow, this is a depressing election. I guess I'll vote for Socialist Labor, because the Socialists aren't on the ballot anymore in Kentucky and would probably be totally useless even if they were an option. Christ.
1956: Eric Hass (Socialist Labor)
1960: Not voting, given my only options are JFK and Nixon.
1964: See 1960.
1968: Fred Halstead (Socialist Workers) - oh thank god
1972: Linda Jenness (Socialist Workers)
1976: Peter Camejo (Socialist Workers)
1980: Andrew Pulley (Socialist)
1984: Melvin Mason (Socialist Workers)
1988: Lenora Fulani (New Alliance) - welp, there go all the socialist choices again
1992: Lenora Fulani (New Alliance)
1996: Ralph Nader (Write-In)
2000: Ralph Nader (Green)
2004: Ralph Nader (Independent)
2008: Brian Moore (Write-In)
2012: Jill Stein (Green)

Imagining myself as an Illinois voter this time around, and starting once again from 1824. I'm going with Illinois because it will be my future state of residency, so I figured it would be fun to see what differences there would be between it and my home state.

1824: Andrew Jackson (Republican)
1828: Andrew Jackson (Democratic)
1832: Andrew Jackson (Democratic)
1836: Marin Van Buren (Democratic)
1840: James G. Birney (Liberty)
1844: James G. Birney (Liberty)
