(8,074 posts)While young and still new to politics, and idealistic, I voted for Reagan once. You know why? It was the promises to the military at the time. I had just gone in and the pay was trash. I had no idea one could promise something absolutely and then renege on it so completely. Yeah, I learned my lesson that time... never trust anything coming out of a repugs mouth, including my husbands. The end of innocence. Voted Democratic ever since. But there were a bunch of us at the time brand new to this. We had been the ones just allowed finally to vote at 18. I've regretted my choice ever since. And it was my choice... from a purely selfish viewpoint. That election taught me a lot... like voting in your own self interests is gonna hit you at some point. You have to think of the best for all.
