- Reagan. I was in the Army and knew that he would support the military so I was looking out for my best interests.
It’s interesting to see how few people here voted Republican. Less than 20%. Hmmm.
1994 - Mandela
All you kiddies! My first presidential vote was for JFK. You had to be 21 in those days.
Carter in 1976.
Don’t you mean “1984 –Mondale”? 
Seriously though, good for you. You had a candidate people could respect.
Why can’t the US ever come up with a decent candidate from any party. We get weirdos, freaks, crooks, liars, morons, thugs and losers. Just once I’d like to see a candidate come forward who:
• Was honest
• Had no skeletons in the closet
• Is intelligent (but not condescendingly so)
• Is pleasant
• Is neither a hawk nor a pacifist
• Is more interesting than warm spit
• Etc.
Is that too much to ask for? I wouldn’t care if they were a man, woman, hermaphrodite, white, black, Hispanic, Jewish, Mormon, atheist, pagan, or a clown. OK, maybe not a clown. But I want a president that I can respect and trust. I’m tired of voting for the lesser of two, or three evils. I’m sick of doing “Eenie Meanie” because both candidates turn my stomach. AAAGGGGHHH!
Funny, we’ve got one now.
“Imagine you just turned 18, and this is your first chance to vote. It’s like the first time you have sex, and your choice is between Shelley Winters and Bela Abzug.”
–Johnny Carson, 1980
Nope. Clowns are scary. Dubya is terrifying. Pennywise isn’t as scary as the creature inhabiting the Oval Office.
Okay, I’ll be the first to admit it:
1992 - Perot.
In my defense, he did really well in the debates.
1980 – for Jimmy Carter.
And I’d do it again.
