I subscribed to Mother Jones and The Nation when I was a kid. Everyone knows the applicable Winston Churchill quote here.
Had enough sense by the time I was 18 to *not* vote to re-elect Jimmy Carter, but didn't have enough sense yet to vote for Reagan. I voted for Ed Clark, the Libertarian candidate, in that election. Solid Rs since.
I think I sat out the 1980 election. I was right in the middle of a interstate move IIRC.
Voted proudly for Reagan, Bush I, Constitution Party twice, and lastly for W.
Though, truth to tell, I am not very happy w/ W. these days!
