Eighteen times.

I am from Quebec, specifically Montreal. We voted regularly and often for the candidate of our choice. Our politicians were honest: Once bought, they stayed bought. Like Chicago I guess.

I must admit I've voted for him five or six times already, myself. )1,2,3)
Can't say as I'd heard of him before I came to this thread

Go Millard! :-)

Hey, Jim, I should clarify (thanks to you). My voting has been 1,2,3 also. So, up to now I have voted for him seven times for 1, etc.

BM

PS I have also voted for his wife seven times, but because my decision to vote for her was based on my perception of her kazoos, then I have either voted for her 3 1/2 times or 14 times. It will take someone better 'n me at math to figure that out.

You guys are amazing! Your votes have helped push our last Whig president past LBJ!
I'm sure if Millard Fillmore, our 13th president, were alive today, he'd have to take a tonic to quell his enthusiasm at the prospects of being immortalized in a 13 inch replica of molded, polymerized, petroleum byproducts.

You know, looking at the list, me thinks we should try to get Reagan knocked off the top of the list. He was such a scary piece of crap, and any "reward" he gets is so competely undeserved.

Maybe we need to take this to next level - tell your friends (if you have them) outside the Mudcat. I'll send the link to my Unitarian Universalist friends and ask them to vote for Filmore the Unitarian.

I'm not encouraging you to vote for Clinton as well as Filmore (to knock Reagan of the top) but something must be done.

Ok, I finally read this posting just to see what the heck it was about, and consequently went to the website and indeed voted for Fillmore (I had a very bad feeling that if I didn't, the ghost of Fillmore in the guise of blackcatter would come to haunt me.)

Now, if it's alright with everybody, what I'm going to do at this point is vote for all the names of Presidents I really know nothing about...not even what they looked like. I figure this is as good a reason as any to want to see a doll of them made.

But I PROMISE...first choice will always go to Millard..xx..e

Sorry Folks, no campaign songs. Millard became presindent when Zachary Taylor died of what was probably gastroenteritis but was diagnosed as cholera moribus in July of 1850. I don't know if he ran in 1852. I'll have to look that up. Irish Sergeant

Subject: RE: BS: NEED HELP--Vote for Millard Fillmore
From: Blackcatter

FROM: http://nene.essortment.com/millarfillmore_ppq.htm

President Zachary Taylor had opposed the Compromise of 1850, which would allow the spread of Slavery to the new states. Now, President Fillmore supported the Compromise because he felt it was the only way to prevent a Civil War. When Fillmore became President that was his main agenda, to sign the five documents that made up the Compromise of 1850. The compromise would allow the spread of slavery into the free states and also what is known as the Fugitive Slave Act. This Act allowed slave owners to go north and recapture blacks that were thought to be runaways back to the south without a trial. The northern states hated that law. They would try to protect the blacks by offering free legal advice and also posted warnings of known slave hunters in the area. The slave hunters would not only kidnap the runaway slaves but would sometimes kidnap blacks that were free and bring them to the south and make them slaves. This cost Millard Fillmore any political future.

By signing the Compromise of 1850, Fillmore lost any future nominations from the Whig party they did not want anything to do with him. At this point they despised him. During the Campaign of 1852, the Whigs would not support him, so Millard Fillmore chose to retire.

----

So no campaign songs. He never ran for the Presidency. Any Zachary Taylor/Millard Fillmore campaign songs?
