Reply #25: I have, twice [View All]

The first time was when a homeless guy from Baltimore got himself on the 6th District US House of Representatives ballot - as the Republican candidate - and Beverly Byron was running basically unopposed, I felt that a homeless guy should at least get some votes.

The second time was for Connie Morella in MD 8th district, she was my English Prof, I liked her personally and I acted with her son Paul in various DC productions. Here's some text from Wikipedia regarding Ms. Morella:

"She opposed her party's positions on abortion, gun control, gay rights, and the environmental movement, voted for government funding of contraceptives and needle exchange programs for drug addicts, and favored the legalization of medical marijuana. She also received some support from organized labor and opposed many tax cuts. She voted against declaring English the official language of the United States and in 1996 against a bill overwhelmingly approved by Congress and signed by President Bill Clinton, to combat illegal immigration. Morella was the only Republican in the entire Congress to vote against approving both the use of military force in Iraq in 1991 and in 2002. Indeed, by many surveys, her voting record was consistently one of the most liberal of any Republican in the House."

- So, you'll forgive me for voting for this very reasonable republican.
