I like FReepers who were conservative, when conservative wasn't yet "cool!" (and who have remainded pre-cool conservatives!!!)

I registered Republican at age 18.

I did too, back in Lincoln, NE. Then when I moved CA, I was bewitched by some sweet young thang into registerin DEMOCRAT at some ridiculous fair in Vallejo. Very soon after I re-registered "Decline to State" until 1993 I went Repub.

Then, as you know, when the CA repubs wouldn't support Simon against Davis, the local central committee and candidates for "non-partisan" office went nuts and the White House kept shovin Parsky down the throats of the CA GOP... I voted for Simon, then went to the Post Office and re-registered "Decline to State" in total, abject disgust!!!

I tried to help in everyway I could think of, but the Party just got more and more messy and I just couldn't identify with the circular firing squad anymore! I'll rejoin someday, because I can't even remember ever voting for anything or anyone even slightly liberal or Democrat, and certainly NEVER anyone "moderate!"
