How would you have voted?: United States Presidential Elections

[FloridaRepublican]

So, you're 16 and you support Strom Thurmond?  Seriously?

Does this thread ask who you would vote for with modern circumstances or w/out hindsight?

I don't believe it has been specified; I don't feel like looking, though.

If I did, what's it to you?  Today it's socially unacceptable to be anti-Civil Rights.  So my opinion doesn't really matter.  I'm a conservative Northwestern Floridian, what do you expect?

[??????????]

I'm a conservative Northwestern Floridian, what do you expect?

Not to support Charlie Crist.

Not to support Charlie Crist.

Touché.  But I like Crist.  He's done a very good job as governor.  And although Rubio is a conservative, I'd support Crist.

[President Mitt]

Are my ears deceiving me? Did he just say he did not support Civil Rights?

Are my ears deceiving me?  Did someone not hear what I said?
Let me put it to you this way.  I.  Support.  Civil.  Rights.  I.  Am.  A.  Pathological.  Kidder.

Wow.  Way to misquote me.  I definitely said "Today it's socially unacceptable to be anti-Civil Rights."  And way to leave the Republican Party.

Guys floridarepub is friggin kidding. Did you guys not see the little fake insultfest between me and him (or is it she)?
Besides he is so right, Civil Rights are overrated, what about Prostitute Rights? I'd rather have hookers to bang than an equal and just society.

That's what I'M saying.  Lol this is so entertaining.

...in every election from 1904-2004 (in both primary and general from 1952-2004).

I think I would have been for the R nominee from 1904 - 1928, with the  exception of voting for Rosevelt in 1912.

From 1932 to now I would have gone for the D nominee with the exception of Einsenhower --  I like Ike. 

Too lazy to look up the primary candidates to pick.

[Mint]

Well, now I'm not sure I'd bother voting in a lot of these. But I can tell you if I had to do things over again I'd vote for Barr over the lesser of two evils last year (i.e. McCain). That said I'm optimistic about the future in the long term even if the short term is going to be hell due to decades of greed and short sighted policies IMO.
