Yep, I sure as fuck did. He was a personal acquaintence of mine and I was carrying on my family republical tradition...what can I say?...I was a young idiotic prick and hadn't yet figured out politics. If it's any mitigation, I recovered from that shortly afterward and became a Democrat...and worked for years to convert my lifelong mom who worked on republican campaigns for much of her life...she finally figured out how they had played her for a sucker and was looking forward to voting Democratic this time around (she called Bush names I'd mostly seen only on bathroom walls) but passed away 2 months ago. I think she would have enjoyed being vindicated at long last.
