Greetings To All:

What is your Presidential voting record?

Who did you vote for in each Presidential election?

The Munchkin Man is going to share his personal Presidential voting record below.

The Munchkin Man would like to invite you to do the same.

So without further ado...............
____________________________________________

1952
The Munchkin Man was born in 1950 and didn't even know what a "President" was.

1956
The Munchkin Man was living in Arlington, Virginia, a city located just outside of Washington D.C. The Munchkin Man was vaguely aware that the President was a man with a shiny bald head and a big name. About two years later, the Munchkin Man got to see President Eisenhower in person, when he and Vice-President Nixon lit the White House Christmas tree.

1960
For the first time in the Munchkin Man's life, the Munchkin Man took interest in a Presidential election. The Munchkin Man was rooting for John F. Kennedy to win, because all the kids at the Munchkin Man's elementary school were saying that Richard M. Nixon was going to make kids go to school on Saturday if he got elected.

1964
The Munchkin Man wasn't crazy about either candidate. Both of them seemed boring to the Munchkin Man. Nevertheless, the Munchkin Man was rooting for Lyndon B. Johnson to win, because all the kids at the Munchkin Man's junior high school were saying that Barry Goldwater was going to start World War III if he got elected.

1968
Although the Munchkin Man was now 18 years old, the voting age had not turned to 18 yet. Therefore, the Munchkin Man couldn't vote. The Munchkin Man was rooting for Hubert H. Humphrey to win. The Munchkin Man still hated Richard M. Nixon.

1972
The Munchkin Man had just returned from living in a hippie commune, when the Munchkin Man went door to door actively campaigning for George McGovern. The Munchkin Man conducted his campaign work in a lot of military neighborhoods, where the Munchkin Man got the door slammed in his face many times. For the first time in the Munchkin Man's life, the Munchkin Man voted in a Presidential election, and the Munchkin Man voted for George McGovern. The Munchkin Man was convinced that he was going to pull off a miracle upset. The Munchkin Man was sad for weeks on end when it didn't happen. The Munchkin Man's spirits were later lifted when the Watergate investigation began, which ultimately forced Richard Nixon to resign from office. At this stage of the Munchkin Man's young life, the Munchkin Man had not yet developed an appreciation for the charm and wisdom of Vice-President Spiro T. Agnew.

1976
The Munchkin Man voted for Jimmy Carter because he seemed like a nice guy and smiled a lot. The Munchkin Man was mad at Gerald Ford for pardoning Richard M. Nixon.

1980
This was the year the Munchkin Man saw the light. During a televised campaign speech one night by Ronald Reagan, the Munchkin Man felt as if the Munchkin Man been struck by lightning. It was the lightning of truth, and the Munchkin Man was transformed forever. The Munchkin Man would never again fall for Jimmy Carter's phony smiles, and the Munchkin Man was now wised up to his ineptitude. The Munchkin Man's father was proud of the Munchkin Man when the Munchkin Man cut his hair, put an end to his hippie ways, and told his father he voted for Ronald Reagan. The Munchkin Man regards Ronald Reagan as the greatest President in the Munchkin Man's lifetime.

1984
The Munchkin Man proudly voted for Ronald Reagan again, who defeated the profoundly boring Walter Mondale in a landslide victory.

1988
The Munchkin Man voted for George H.W. Bush. Michael Dukakis was the candidate for the Democratic Party, who was even more boring than Walter Mondale. Another landslide victory for the GOP.

1992
The Munchkin Man voted for George H. W. Bush once again, who lost his re-election bid to Bill Clinton. The elder Bush had lost some of his lustre when he reversed course from his "No new taxes" pledge. The Munchkin Man also concedes that Bill Clinton had more charisma than Mr. Bush, who could not compete against those pictures of Bill Clinton playing the saxophone with dark sunglasses. Bill Clinton had "the cool factor" that Mr. Bush did not have.

1996
The Munchkin Man voted for Bob Dole, who was unsuccessful in thwarting the re-election bid of Bill Clinton. Unfortunately, Bob Dole never had the charisma and the personality to capture the mass appeal needed for a Presidential candidate who could be truly competitive against Bill Clinton.

2000
The Munchkin Man proudly voted for George W. Bush, who DID win this election fair and square, in spite of what the spoilsports claim. The Republicans were back in power, and the Munchkin Man was elated.

2004
Once again, the Munchkin Man proudly voted for George W. Bush. The Munchkin Man predicts that future historical accounts of his Presidency are going to be a lot kinder than they are today. The Munchkin Man shall be eternally grateful to President George W. Bush for keeping the Munchkin Man safe from any further terrorist attacks after the tragedy of September 11, 2001.

2008
The Munchkin Man voted for John McCain against the winner, Barack Obama, who is turning out to be the worst living nightmare that many Americans, including the Munchkin Man himself, has ever had to suffer and endure. May God Save America from the beast whose name is Barack Hussein Obama.

Re: What Is Your Presidential Voting Record?

I voted Reagan twice and GHW Bush in 1988 and considering my life experience at the time, they were very well-intended votes.

However, after watching both Reagan and Bush lie their asses off to the American public about their determination to balance the federal budget and as I grew up more and got out into the real world, I recognized the folly of blindly casting my Presidential vote for white men with an average age of 65+. And thus I voted Clinton twice - abstained in 2004 and then voted for Barack Obama this past November.

Re: What Is Your Presidential Voting Record?

Vote all you want,like the Munchkin Man did 10x since 1972,as he relates in the capsule descriptions of his experiences doing so,it's not going to change America's ultimate trajectory.To wit:

Mr. Obama keeps telling nationwide audiences that "we have a supply of natural gas that can last America nearly 100 years." That is just not true. If he believes it then he is either 1) getting treasonously bad advice from dishonest advisors or 2) not reading reports issued by his own agencies or 3) just making shit up. This was the same week, by the way, when the US Department of Energy dropped its estimate for the Marcellus shale gas play by 66 percent, while the estimate for all US shale basins went down 42 percent. The shale gas industry is another Ponzi bubble that is about to founder on a scarcity of investment capital. Just watch.

The "energy independence" trope is a lie, too. At least in the sense that Mr. Obama means - that we can run the suburban clusterfuck and all its accessories by other means than fossil fuels. He just says it because it makes voters feel better. By the time they find out it was just a story, he won't need their votes anymore. Meanwhile, we'll do nothing to prepare for a different way of life, and so, necessarily, the result will be an obscene scramble for power and resources that will leave a lot of people dead.
