It just occurred to me that readers of this thread might not understand the timeline which your message confuses so let me be very specific so that everyone understands how vapid your intellect is:
1. November 1964 = LBJ election (my first vote)
2. November 1966 = First Reagan election as Gov. of California
3. November 1970 = Second Reagan election as Gov. of California
Just after I voted for Reagan for Governor in 11/66, I wrote a letter to the editor which was published in my local newspaper. I copy the text below. I also sent a copy of my letter to my County Democratic Party HQ:
“Editor: When, on Sept. 21, ex-Governor Brown
asked that crime, the courts, the Rumford Act
and the University of California be removed
as issues of the campaign, I began to realize
the extent of his misunderstanding of the political
climate of this state.
When Mr. Reagan spoke out candidly on
these issues, and ex-Governor Brown responded
only with name-calling (the “extremist” baloney)
I as a Democrat, decided to vote for Reagan.
If the Democratic Party hopes to regain my
confidence, it is essential that it reject the kind
of disgusting campaign strategy which ignores
issues and, instead, suggests that ordinary citizens
have no place in politics, i.e., only the
“professionals” deserve to be elected.
I do not agree with Mr. Reagan on all issues, but I am sickened by the Brown camp’s deliberate attempt to portray Reagan as something which he clearly isn’t, while distorting
Reagan’s past conservative (but not extremist) record.”

Much earlier (August 1963 to be exact) I wrote the following letter which was published in my local newspaper which they captioned “Fluorishing Weed”.
Does it seem to you that this reflects my “liberal—if not radical” political convictions when I was 18 years old?
“Flourishing Weed
Editor: Castro’s Cuba represents a weed in our hemispheric
garden. Unfortunately, the United States has persistently
and consistently refuse to take the necessary steps to
rid our garden of its first weed (from the species—Communista).
Instead, the United States, with a naive hope that the
weed will wither away, has built a picket fence around the
weed, and has denied access to those who would seek to
immobilize and destroy it.
Consequently, the weed flourishes and threatens multiplication while Russia and her satellites continue to provide the weed with excessive sunshine, water, and fertilizer (Soviet troops, supplies and training).
Ultimately, the weed will multiply and spread its own
particular poison, and because of disastrous U.S. gardening
procedures, the single Cuban weed may soon overtake the
entire hemispheric garden.”
You really are amusing. I simply posted your own writings. My message doesn't confuse anything. You however write inconsistent things like:
"1. November 1964 = LBJ election (my first vote)"
and:
"I should have said I voted for LBJ (not Kennedy) because November 1964 was my first election"
and also:
"In the 1960's I voted for Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson..."
I'm not confusing anything, I'm just having fun watching you make up responses to your own statements about yourself. And as I noted before, you can't keep your story straight. And just in case you need another example, your posting above said the following:
"Much earlier (August 1963 to be exact) I wrote the following letter which was published in my local newspaper which they captioned “Fluorishing Weed”.
Does it seem to you that this reflects my “liberal—if not radical” political convictions when I was 18 years old?"
So you are saying that you were 18 years old in August 1963.
But you also wrote:
"1. November 1964 = LBJ election (my first vote)
But the 26th Amendment to the Constitution wasn't passed until 1972. So if you were 18 in August of 1963 you would have been 19 in August of 1964, and it would be highly unlikely that you would then have been 21 years of age in November of 1964 when you claim you now claim you first voted.
So you can't even write one posting without getting your story mixed up. That suggests you should spend more time doing simple, relaxing things like walking outside, or gardening.
