As we go through life, our values, ideals and experiences change, and if one is a free thinker, their political views and positions change. If one stays purely the political line their early and late adulthood, we can expect that person to have a smaller world view, and hence be conservative, or be liberal with eternal hope and unsteadiness.

I've progressed as I've learned from life lessons. Growing up in ultra conservative Lynchburg, Va in the 1960's, I started out with the 'love it or leave it' position. Then the Vietnam War came, I matured and saw the recklessness of those in power and their value of human lives. And as I matured over the years, I've become wiser. So with this as a premise, here's my voting for President since 1968. What's yours and why?
1972 - Wallace
1976 - Carter
1980 - Carter
1984 - Mondale
1988 - Bush
1992 - Clinton
1996 - Clinton
2000 - Gore
2004 - Kerry
2008 - Obama
2012 - Obama
2016 - Clinton

As of March 2017, I'm a registered Independent. In the early years I leaned Republican and the later years Democrat. Today, and from this time forward, I'm not voting for anyone who votes along strict party lines. Is there anything more insane that being a numb nuts and voting along party lines rather than for the issue? At 64, I've had enough deceit, lies, untruthfulness. This is exactly why I decided not to pursue a political career 30 years ago as I do have a soul.
