How have your parents voted in Presidential election?

[Хahar 🤔]

Dad:

1996: Clinton
2000: Gore
2004: Kerry
2008: Obama

Mom:

2000: Gore
2004: Kerry
2008: Obama

1976: Dole

[Хahar 🤔]

Democratic o/c. My mom is not so keen on Obama, but my dad seems to like him (but doesn't care much for American politics).

They both voted for Sarkozy in 2007. My dad hadn't voted in any other French election because he was a Breton nationalist. He did vote straight PQ in Quebec, yes in both referendums, and was PQ member. My mother also voted straight PQ and yes in both referendums. Neither would vote PQ or yes again.

Why? They seem to be biased toward nationalism. What happened?

1976: Dole

Don't ask. I guess she must have wrote him in or something

LOL.

They realized that independence of Quebec was now impossible, and in the case of my mother, living outside of Quebec made her realize how close-minded a lot of the Quebec nats are.

I wouldn't call it impssible, just not likely to happen in their lifetime.

It isn't with a gay drug addict and then a unilingual mansion-owning "social democrat" leader that the PQ will be taken seriously for independence.

50 years. 50 years.

I'm almost positive that Quebec will not be an independent nation in 50 years.

In 50 years, the early '90s sentiment could build up again.

And an independence referendum, you forgot about that, didn't you?

Money and the ethnic vote. I know.

Why not just make Nord-du-Québec part of Nunavut and let the rest of Quebec go? It pleases everybody:

• Inhabitants of Nord-du-Québec can stay Canadian.
• Canada stays connected.
• Majority of remainder of Quebec supports independence.[/i]

We seem to have a lot of McGovern->Bush voters here.

When my dad was in college, he once drove his Jeep up the steps of the Michigan State Capitol to protest the Vietnam War.

Now he's a business executive.  He is The Man

Now that's weird.
