In recent history the republican party ran a candidate who was conservative on many issues, but liberal on others. In fact, he never met a tax hight he didn't like, and his wife took ear marked donations for the victims of the Oklahoma City bombing and funneled them into the general fund of a charity she had chairmanship of.. I and many others refused to vote for the POS.
How did things turn out for Mister Dole?
His lack of support brought us Clinton.
That was a year I voted for the Republican because if I did not, Bill Clinton was going to win.
I have heard the same here, over many days. Funny, when I voted for Reagan twice, the line was out the door.
I went to the polls after work when I voted for Dole, walked in, and very few were there.
It was quick and useless.
