The only Republican I ever voted for. I lived in NYC at the time.

I lived in Greenwich Village at the time and was a young mother. I don't remember too much else except he was dashingly handsome and he turned my head...

1. I voted for one for state rep a couple times.

He lived in the neighborhood and had grown up here. He was friendly, even the dog liked him. He seemed moderate till 2008 when he went full out Tea Party. His political fortunes reversed after that, and he is currently not in government.

3. Well, yes. He's dead, you know...

2. I voted for Lowell Weicker in 1988 over Joe Lieberman. Never regretted

that vote. Lieberman was always a sanctimonious sack of shit.

4. I have no business remembering him...

but I do. He was up there with Kennedy where I grew up.

5. Interesting

Back then New York had a Republican Mayor, two Republican Senators and a Republican Governor. All democrats now.

6. Even then, tho, I remember being suspicious of people who called themselves "republicans."

My view was essentially "no matter what you call it, it's still "....."

9. Back then there was such a thing as a Liberal Republican and a Conservative Democrat. nt

7. I.'ve voted for Republicans exactly twice in the nearly 50 years I've been eligible to vote

One was when I'd had direct experience with the Democrat and knew he was a crook.

The other was for mayor of Los Angeles, which is theoretically a non-partisan office, but this one city councilman was running on the "I'm a Democrat, he's a Republican,vote for Me!" ticket. He could not give a single reason for why you should vote for him, only reasons why you shouldn't vote for for his opponent.

8. Ive voted for a Republican once.

Voted for Charlie Baker (R-MA Gov) when he ran for re-election. He's a decent guy.

Had voted for the Democrat the first go-round, but she lost. Baker has done a very good job on Covid 19.

10. I voted for Arne Carlson for Mn. Governor

Rudy Perpich pushed me over the edge with his idea of a chopstick factory in northern MN.

Arne was a good guy and I'm guessing he's not voting for Republicans anymore.
