How Did Ennis Vote?

<< < (2/7) > >>

serious crayons:
I also went with "did not vote." I don't think of Ennis as paying much attention to politics.

If he had voted, I'm sure he'd vote Republican, because he's a conformist and most people around him would be Republicans. Also, I don't like to think about the famous deleted "hippie scene," but his behavior in that scene was pretty conservative.

Good idea for a poll, Kerry. How about a parallel one about Jack? From what I've seen, there may be more controversy regarding his political views.

Brown Eyes:

I think he would vote Democratic. I think he was more "liberal" than his public persona let on.  In the privacy of a voting booth, I think that would come out.  I think based on his lack of interest in religion and the "fire and brimstone" crowd, he would be put off by a lot of aspects of at least the current Republican base.  And, I think the idea of war and the military scares him, especially when it comes to risks to Jack.  So, I think he'd be more likely to vote for a slightly more pacifist oriented party.

**note** I'm thinking about the current state of the current parties.  It's hard for me to imagine all the nuances of the differences between Republicans and Democrats in the 60s, 70s and early 80s (since I was born in 75).

Mikaela:
I voted for "did not vote".  (That sounds a bit strange).

Like others have expressed very well already, I can't imagine he'd be much interested in politics and nationwide events - except for rolling his eyes at what he saw on his little TV screen now and then. He'd probably shrug and pronounce them "all the same kind" when national politics were concerned, and not get involved beyond that. Like most fellow Wyoming rural men, I should think his leanings were by and large Republican, - but I think Amanda makes a good case for him being a closeted Democrat, too!

Maybe in the same way that he was gay but couldn't admit it even to himself, he was really a Democrat but couldn't admit it even to himself!  ;D

Mikaela:
Well, that would indicate he actually did go into that voting booth ever four f**ing years!  ;)
