I never do that anymore. Held my nose and did it with Bush 1 and Clinton the first time he ran. Reagan I wanted there and voted for him accordingly

Because we have no provision for a write in, I have left the vote for president blank, since I voted for Clinton in 1992. 1994 I started to look into politics a little harder, when this guy Ron Paul hit the scene, even though Ross Perot, sparked my interest earlier.

I don't do the FB thingie but never hesitate E-mailing my Senators and Rep both questions and comments. The inanity and outright self-aggrandizing BS of some of their replies are gold, I hope to paper a bath room with them some day.
Yeah, I agree with you, but fear its a wasted vote on my part, cuz not many Americans think like you and I do....but feel it would be a great improvement....

I jump back and forth between this guy and Cruz....I liked Cruz, years ago....but he's getting cocky and had slammed the dems, and made jokes about them, which doesn't really in my mind seperate him from other bad politicians....
