Top 100 I Voted Sayings
#1. People who shop at Barnes and Noble voted Ulysses the best novel of the last century, and who's to tell them different? There was a point when I would have liked to, but apparently that's just because I'm a bitch.
Dale Peck
#2. I'm a Republican. I don't want to go to heaven and have to face my family up there and tell them I voted for a Democrat.
T. Boone Pickens
#3. Too many of my fellow Christians voted for selfishness and for degradation of the beautiful world God created. I guess they figured that by the time the planet was a smoky wasteland, they'd be nice and comfy in heaven, so wotthehell.
Garrison Keillor
#4. I don't vote. I voted Labour once, in that moment of euphoria. I know that if people only made a voice for change, then change will happen, but I'm not that person. I'm painting pictures.
Gary Hume
#5. I voted for Lula and Dilma
not vote for more
had to yield to the facts
that the PT
they represent
this rotten ....
today they
represent the worst
already existed in our policy ...
Ariano Suassuna
#7. I find that those who voted for George W. Bush are less offended by his religious references, and those who voted for Bill Clinton did not seem offended at all when people prayed at his inauguration.
Gwen Ifill
#8. I'm a conservative. I believe in the idea of freedom and liberty, but more importantly, look at my voting background. I voted against bailing out Wall Street. I voted against, never voted for, a tax increase.
Kevin McCarthy
#9. As I've gotten older, I've gotten more liberal, and my father is increasingly conservative. It's so shocking to me because I always thought we had the same politics. The day I realized we voted for different presidents, I practically fell out of my chair.
Lauren Graham
#10. The trip to Iraq confirmed that I made the right decision when I voted against lending Iraq the $18 billion the United States plans to use to help rebuild the country.
Vic Snyder
#11. I am mystified. I know only one person who voted for Nixon.
Pauline Kael
#12. I voted for Barack Obama largely on the basis of his temperament, which I thought superior. He is only 47 years old, but to me seemed older than that: a man of precocious aspect and judgment.
Christopher Buckley
#13. I voted against Gerald Nabarro in my first general election, but my defiance made no difference. If you had put a Conservative rosette on a mustachioed hamster, it would have been elected.
Jeremy Paxman
#14. I have never voted. Like most people I am utterly disenchanted by politics. Like most people I regard politicians as frauds and liars and the current political system as nothing more than a bureaucratic means for furthering the augmentation and advantages of economic elites.
Russell Brand
#15. I voted to repeal the government takeover of health care that raises costs, increases taxes, spends trillions of dollars that we don't have, cuts Medicare by $500 billion, and destroys jobs.
Robert Hurt
#16. I voted for the Defense of Marriage Act but I do not believe we should institutionalize a form of discrimination against any minority by amending the Constitution.
Ben Nighthorse Campbell
#17. Of course I voted for him. He wasn't a politician; he was a craze.
Ewan McGregor
#18. My senior year of high school, I was voted 'Wittiest.' So, several years later, I decided to try my hand at writing humor to see if I could be witty enough to make some money.
Barbara Park
#19. I'd like to thank everyone who voted for me. And the one guy who didn't vote for me, thank you, too.
Shaquille O'Neal
#20. People think I'm girlish and flippant, but I was an honours student. I was voted Girl Most Likely To Succeed at North Mesquite High in Texas. My best subject was science. I won a scholarship.
Jerry Hall
#21. I would have voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Ronald Reagan
#22. Although I voted against the initial resolution approving the war in Iraq, I have consistently voted to support our troops with much-needed armor and supplies.
Ed Pastor
#23. When I voted against the cap-and-trade bill, the phone rang and it was the chief of staff of the president of the United States of America, Rahm Emanuel, and he started swearing at me in terms and words that I hadn't heard since that crossing the line ceremony on the USS New Jersey in 1983.
Eric Massa
#24. My family wasn't particularly political. Mom and Dad voted, but that was the extent of their involvement. In fact, I ended up going to U.C. Davis because, to them, Berkeley was too radical.
Jackie Speier
#25. I voted to repeal the individual mandate in Obamacare ... I think people appreciate the fact that they know where you stand.
David Jolly
#26. I have always voted Labour and I always will. I have got to have one stupid, bovine part of me and that's the part that votes Labour.
Julie Burchill
#27. I never stood for any president in my life, never voted, before Barack Obama. It changed my life to vote. It starts there with me. I never cared for politics before Barack Obama. I never thought it mattered to people like me.
Nas
#28. Every country should be tired of going to war. War is a terrible thing. If I had been in Congress, as much as I would be inclined naturally to be supportive of a president, any president, I would have voted no, had the issue come to a vote.
Donald Rumsfeld
#29. In 2008, I was one of the young feminist whippersnappers who voted for Barack Obama over Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primaries - or as many of my older counterparts called me at the time, a traitor.
Jessica Valenti
#30. There's a lot of women in the WNBA. There's a lot of women who could be here. To be voted by the fans says a lot - that people are aware of what's going on. I'm really thankful. I think they just really appreciate my talent so I'm definitely grateful.
Lisa Leslie
#31. I voted for Obama and I was delighted that he's been elected.
Bill Ayers
#32. It was one of those situations I often find myself in while traveling. Something's said by a stranger I've been randomly thrown into contact with, and I want to say, Listen. I'm with you on most of this, but before we continue, I need to know who you voted for in the last election.
David Sedaris
#33. If I put myself on the ballot and even 50 people voted for me, it'd be a travesty.
Al Franken
#34. I assure you I will not miss the chance to show you that you were right when you voted for me.
Traian Basescu
#35. The press is dying to paint me as now trying to undo the New Deal. I remind them I voted for F.D.R. 4 times. I'm trying to undo the "Great Society." It was L.B.J.'s war on poverty that led to our present mess.
Ronald Reagan
#36. I first started writing music when I was 15 and at 16, I was playing in different cities in Australia. When I was 18, I was voted number one DJ in Australia.
TyDi
#37. In my high school yearbook I was voted third runner-up for "Most Casual." I never figured out if that meant most casual in dress or in overall manner. In any case, I didn't come in first. I guess the two ahead of me wanted it less.
Amy Poehler

Jalal Talabani
#39. I actually did vote for the $87 billion, before I voted against it.
John F. Kerry
#40. Somehow you've been voted something for a magazine, and it's a complete mystery to me. I mean, I wake up and I have to look at that head when I brush my teeth every morning. And it's weird and it's unpleasant at times.
Johnny Depp
#41. As to my political faith- I have never voted. My father was a Democrat, my mother a Republican, and I am an Episcopalian.
George C. Marshall
#42. Damn right I voted for him. But if I'd known then what I know now, I wouldn't have cast a vote - I'd have cast a brick.
John Brunner
#43. I vote in every general election, but I'm not a party member or an ideologue. I've never told anyone who I've voted for.
Brian Lamb
#44. As soon as someone tells me: 'You're rather sexy,' I wish I could disappear. If somebody says: 'You were voted the world's sexiest man,' I have no idea what that means. How do I respond? 'Thank you' is the best you can do. George Clooney is the world's sexiest man, anyway.
Daniel Craig
#46. At least I never voted Republican. -Tony Kushner
Larry Smith
#47. I voted for Justice Breyer and Justice Ginsburg. Not because I agreed with their ideology, but because I thought they were qualified and that elections have consequences when presidents are nominated.
John McCain
#48. He [Bill Clinton] told me that he caddied in the same group with me in the Hot Springs Open. That's why I voted for him, becasue he was a caddie.
Tommy Bolt
#49. Finally, in the Mississippi state Senate, earmarks are often hidden in bond bills, which I have voted against many times, because our bonded indebtedness is too high and we simply can't afford it. For example, building museums in the middle of a recession makes little sense.
Chris McDaniel
#50. I've never voted. I've never voted yet although I could have voted for the last ten years.
John Lennon
#51. People who say that only young people voted on the Internet, those who didn't see Pele play, forget that children are not orphans. There's always a father who buys the computer and perhaps influences their vote. I won the people's vote.
Diego Maradona
#52. A lot of people who voted for Barack Obama expected and were led to expect something new in politics: a new tone of political discourse in Washington. And I think - I think they're disappointed, because Barack Obama is not a new kind of politician. In fact, he's an old Chicago politician.
Bernard Goldberg
#53. I would in fact tend to have more confidence in the outcome of a democratic decision if there was a minority that voted against it, than if it was unanimous ... Social psychology has amply shown the strength of this bandwagon effect.
Jurgen Habermas
#54. My first job is to say thank you to those who voted me. Those who didn't, I'm going to get your vote next time.
Barack Obama
#55. The premise of my whole campaign has been not that people need to believe what I say to them, but they need to look at what I have done. And what I have done in the state of Nevada, I have voted over a 100 times against tax and fee increases, poor public policy, and unconstitutional bills.
Sharron Angle
#56. As a member of the New York Senate from 1966 to 1989, I voted 12 times to establish the death penalty in New York ... I regret my votes in favor of the death penalty.
John R. Dunne
#57. I have always voted for who I believed was the best person.

#58. I voted, always vote. It's very important to me. My kids, I take them with me since they were little, so they realize it's a responsibility.
Gloria Estefan
#59. I live in a rather special world. I only know one person who voted for Nixon. Where they are I don't know. They're outside my ken. But sometimes when I'm in a theater I can feel them.
Pauline Kael
#60. My personal take on politics is I deal with social situations and cultural situations in my music and in my life. I have said on record many times that I haven't voted. I'm not the type of person who says, 'I'm never going to vote.' I think it's clear to me that our system has failed us.
Talib Kweli
#61. I think we've already voted at the U.N., in the Security Council, to get rid of nuclear weapons. Let's get rid of them. Let's get rid of ours and then Iran will stop, I believe. And so everybody else will, because if everybody doesn't have them, then we're safe, at least safe from a nuclear attack.
Ted Turner
#62. I'm not an American, Do they count the votes in America? I haven't voted in Jamaica either.
Ziggy Marley
#63. I would rather be thought of as pretty rather than sexy. It feels good to be voted by fans and that too in such huge numbers, but I don't think if you wear a bikini or show skin, you look sexy.
Katrina Kaif
#64. In my last year of school, I was voted Class Optimist and Class Pessimist. Looking back, I realize I was only half right.

Erin Passons
#66. I voted for Ralph Nader in 2000, but I will not make that mistake again. The joke is over for Nader. He was funny once, but now he belongs to the dead.
Hunter S. Thompson
#67. I don't always vote in general elections, but I think I've always voted Labour.
Paul Merton
#68. I see no issue with [Donald] Trump spending 48 hours in Scotland.Whether accidental or intentional, the fact that he was there when Britain voted to leave the EU was a good thing for him.
Christopher Michael Cillizza
#69. I am an American, not by accident of birth but by choice. I voted with my feet and became an American because I love this country and think it is exceptional.
Fareed Zakaria
#70. If the President says, oh, Washington's got to change, and people are doubting whether my change can really happen, I think instead what the public's begun to see is the change they're seeing is not the change they voted for.
Eric Cantor
#71. I always stand out by the voting lines on Election Day, and I can't tell you how many people say, 'I've never voted for a Democrat in my life, but I'm splitting my ticket for you.' They're more engaged and thoughtful than we give them credit for.
Wendy Davis
#72. I would be lying if I said I'm not flattered being voted as the 'Time's' Most Desirable Man of 2012. Frankly, I have no idea how the desirability quotient is arrived at. If it is just drop dead good looks, then I have to thank God and my parents for it.
Arjun Rampal
#73. I'm not a supporter of ObamaCare. I voted to repeal it, to defund it, et cetera. But we do need to move on.
Erik Paulsen
#74. To me, it's important to preserve proximity to the people. I wouldn't do anything pretentious, and nothing that hurts the people who voted for me. Triumphalism isn't my thing.
Francois Hollande
#75. I have never voted for a tax increase.
Marco Rubio
#76. I never voted for anybody. I always voted against.
W.C. Fields
#77. Some people are surprised that the Republicans are waging a war on women, or that they voted against equal pay for women. I'm not surprised at all. In some ways, it may be a good thing. They're defending the patriarchy, which is a wounded beast! And wounded beasts are always dangerous.
Jane Fonda
#78. When the students were killed at Kent State, the cast voted to do a demonstration from the stage, and I abstained.
Holly Near
#79. I voted to send people to war.
Paul Ryan
#80. I pay my taxes, but I've never voted and I never will vote as long as the system works the way it does. Even when Obama was running, I wanted to see a woman run! I'd rather see a woman in the White House as opposed to Obama.
Lupe Fiasco
#81. I'm so, so full of joy that America elected Obama. He didn't win because he was black - people voted for him because he had a plan and because he talked sense and because you believed him.
Estelle Fanta Swaray
#82. I have voted for a Republican for president ever since I was voting and since I was 18 years old.
Joseph J. Lhota
#83. I don't care where you went to school. There - have I made your day? No? All right, I'll go further: I also don't care what your dad did for a living or how your mum voted. Nor do I mind whether you ate your tea in front of the telly, dinner at the kitchen table, or supper in the dining room.
Robert Webb
#84. People always ask if I was really voted Most Bizarre Girl in high school. But that one's actually true. I was living in Michigan in a very conservative town and had a nose-ring and a shaved head and did kind of strange things.
Gillian Anderson
#85. When Bill Clinton ran in '92, and I listened to him, and I had of course known of his record from Arkansas, I found him extraordinarily inspirational, and I voted Democratic.

#88. I was proud to be a Tory Member of Parliament for twelve years, proud to represent Buckingham as a Tory, proud to have voted with my party 99% of the time as the record shows.
John Bercow
#89. I care about the presidential elections. I always vote. Sometimes I've voted more than once, illegally. But you can't anymore. The picture ID has ruined everything.
John Waters
#90. I'm so insane, I voted for Eisenhower. Oh yeah, well I'm so insane, I voted for Eisenhower TWICE!
Ken Kesey
#91. I've always voted Republican because America is exactly that, a republic. You can't expect much leadership with a Democrat behind the desk their not even close to dual efficient.
Audrey Meadows
#92. I've been a Republican since Reagan. I voted for Bush and his father. I don't tell a lot of people, because I live in a city where somebody who voted for Bush is really an outcast.
Dennis Hopper
#93. I believe abortion should be available to everyone, but the law should be changed. In the past I voted for a restriction to 22 weeks and I would be prepared to go down to 20.
Michael Howard
#94. I voted against the climate-change legislation. Not that I don't believe we should move to a clean-energy economy, and it can be good for South Dakota's economy to do so, but it was started out as a very partisan bill in the committee.
Stephanie Herseth
#95. It was quite an honour when 'New Woman' magazine voted me 88th sexiest man in the world. I think I was one in front of David Cameron.

Ken Lucas
#97. When I was in high school, I was voted most likely to succeed.
Sheryl Sandberg
#98. Being a politician means never having to say you're sorry. You don't have to say, 'I never should have voted to subsidize that ridiculous Enron project in India.' ... After all, they're greedy businessmen and you're a selfless public servant.
Harry Browne
#100. After all, I have spent the better part of my adult life insisting that government be open ... that government be accessible ... and that government be held accountable to people who voted us into office.
