More than a few months ago Distributor Cap wrote a post about his voting history and today I give you mine. I'm not proud of the fact that I skipped a few elections, but anyway, here's how I've voted since 1980, the first year I was eligible to vote:
1980-John Anderson (Independent)
1984-Did not vote due to the fact I was too stoned and too drunk. It was my first senior year in college, what do you expect?
1988-Did not vote because I had just moved to Roanoke, VA and I didn't get my registration changed in time.
1992-Clinton/Gore
1996-Clinton/Gore
2000-Ralph Nader
2004-Kerry/Edwards
And I am glad to say that today, 10/20/2008, my 46th birthday, I took advantage of early voting here in my home county and I cast my ballot for Obama/Biden. I'm beyond elated that I voted for the men who are going to lead us out of the mess that George W. Bush and and John McCain have gotten us into. I am also glad to tell you that the line to vote early was a long one today, it was nearly an hour before I finally got in to cast my vote, and according to the voting officials the lines have been long ever since early voting began in TN last week. Long lines mean heavy turn out and heavy turn out means a Democratic victory.
If you can take advantage of early voting where you live then I encourage you to do so. If you have to wait until election day, then please make sure you get out and vote. One of the guests on Bill Moyers show the other night said that the best way to make sure that the Republicans and the Libertarians don't steal this election is to have a heavy turn out, so get out and vote people and make sure you encourage others to vote as well.

"We're voting for anyone named Bush. They seem to know how to deliver for white folks, so we're with them for the long haul."
"I'm voting for anyone who has the courage to admit that Christians, even though we're in the majority in this country, are a persecuted minority."
"Vote? Only the little people vote and besides, I'm too rich to care which political candidate screws you little people over yet again."
"I'm voting for that woman who isn't a witch, because after all, witches have far too much political power in this country."
"I'm going to tote my gardener and my pool boy. What's that? Oh, vote. No. I'm not voting because I'll be too busy carrying my gardener and pool boy around on election day."
"Can I vote for Eisenhower? Oh wait, he's too far left to be a Republican in today's political climate. So I'll vote for Eye of Newt. Yeah, bitches, I'm a witch. And I'm engaged to Dr. Bombay and you can suck it if you don't get that reference."
"I'm voting for that guy who hates the gays in public but makes money off them in private. That's how I roll as a member of the Hypocrite Party. Now stop staring at my tits even though I'm showing them to you."
