Oops I didn't mean to underline everything. Keep in mind too that I wasn't old enough to vote until 2003. My dad's family is conservative, but not until my grandpa switched to Republican after 1960. He is a firm believer in limited government, supplied side economics, and strong defense. The rest of his family is still moderately democratic I think. My grandma's family has a steel mill/union background and is strongly democratic but she is conservative like my grandfater was. On my mom's side of the family, they are conservative but have voted democrat because of union membership and upbringing during the end of the depression. However, it wouldn't surprise me if some of them voted for McCain in 2008. I know my mom's dad refused to vote for McCain because he was a Republican and refused to vote for Obama due to cultural reasons. While he voted democrat pretty much his entire life, he was strongly conservative on alot of issues that weren't economic related. Both he and my grandma were fans of John F. Kennedy whom I have come to admire in a few ways as well. My dad's brothers and his sister and their families vote straight GOP. My mom's brother is comparable to Strom Thurmond in alot of views. As for myself, here is my primary voting record in modern elections.
1952- Eisenhower
1956- Eisenhower
1960- Nixon
1964- Goldwater
1968- Reagan
1972- Nixon
1976- Ford
1980- Reagan
1984- Reagan
1988- Bush
1992- Bush
1996- Dole
2000- Bush
2004- Bush
2008- McCain
2012- Romney
