About BlueMan Votes

I'm in my early 50's, and have ALWAYS voted Democratic, with two exceptions- In my first election ever, I voted for John Anderson- He was from my own state of Illinois, and needed to get a certain % of the vote(5%?) in order to qualify for matching funds, Jimmy Carter was NOT going to win anyway, and there was no f-ing way that i would vote for Satan Incarnate- ronbo raygun. The other time that i crossed the river styx to vote for an R was in the 2004 Illinois Senate Race PRIMARY. Barack had the Democratic nomination in the bag, and i was voting for Oberweis(the milk nazi) AGAINST Jack Ryan, because I felt that Ryan stood a good chance of defeating Barack Obama in November. And if he hadn't chosen to take 7-of-9 to a wife-swapping orgy in nyc several years earlier- he very well may have. As it was, with the help of my vote in the general election, Barack was able to make mincemeat out of...Alan Keyes(roflmao). Without Jack Ryan's over-active libido we never would have had a President Obama. And I've been on the rnc's mailing list ever since. But I digress...
