I voted for a Democrat exactly once: Brad Owen for Lt. Governor, back in the day. My car broke down near an elementary school where he was holding an event, and he kindly let me use his cell phone (a rarity back then) to call AAA. On top of that, my wife's dad, a die-hard Republican, was high school friends with him in Tacoma and even voted for him too.

Unlike most democrats, Owen was opposed to abortion, campaigned against drug use and drug legalization and was described as "lukewarm" at best on gay rights.

But then in 2008, King Juan Carlos I of Spain bestowed the Order of Isabella the Catholic, a full-on Spanish knighthood, on Owen. I wrote him a letter explaining that I couldn't support anyone accepting a title of nobility, since it directly violates the Constitution's Title of Nobility Clause. Sure, there's no punishment specified, and yeah, he was nice about the phone and buddies with my father-in-law... but I can't in good conscience vote for a Spanish Knight.

So that's it, the one and only Democrat I ever voted for. Team MAGA just keeps winning!
