Reagan
I voted the first time in 1960, for Richard Milhouse Nixon, and in the following elections for the following candidates...
1964 Barry Goldwater (told me doing so, the war in Vietnam would get worse and taxes would go up...they were right)
1968 Richard Milhouse Nixon
1972 Richard Milhouse Nixon (his ‘high crimes & misdemenors’ were miniscule compared the OBummer’s.
1976 Gerald Ford
1980 Ronald Reagan (absentee ballot, was living in Northern Ireland)
1984 Ronald Reagan
1988 GHW Bush
1992 GHW Bush
1996 Bob Dole(had a customer in Arkansas who had a sign in his office - ‘Hope is not in Arkansas’)
2000 GW Bush
2004 GW Bush
2008 Juan McLame (holding my nose)
2012 Mitt Romney (did so proudly)
Reagan, 1980 I had a smile on my face for 8 years.
Ronnie in ‘80. It was so good I did him again in ‘84.
November 4, 1980 - Ronald Wilson Regan a vote I proudly repeated November 6, 1984.
In 1980, I actually voted by absentee ballot, the week before the election as I was going to an out of state wedding. And I had to bring the wedding invitation to show the Town clerk that I was entitled to vote by absentee ballot.
Coming from a family of Democrats, my first was Jimmy Carter in 1976. Ford seemed like a dope with his whip inflation now buttons and Poland comments and Carter seemed smart.
Four years of Carter cured me completely. I voted for Reagan in 1980 and stuck with the Republicans ever since.
