Friday Five: August 27th

1. It the election were tomorrow, who would you vote for? I’d vote for Kerry. I was watching the news last night and there was this Republican rally going on. This girl, obviously a Bush supporter, was yelling about how Democrats no longer support the American Dream, how they aren’t progressive, how they don’t want change… erm. Of course I want change, my first change would be getting Bush out of office. As for the American Dream, I guess it means different things to different people. For Republicans it means being rich, living in a house on many, many miles of land and not giving money to the government.

2. What are the main things that lead you to vote for a certain person? Well it used to be the candidate whose platform most represented my way of thinking. It just seems so hard lately to figure out where anyone stands on any issue because they spend so much time talking about everything else, but the issues. So, at this point, I’d vote for anyone that isn’t Bush.

3. Where do you get your info on the candidates? Mostly online. Everything is biased, but I try to get bits and pieces of information from various sources and put them together to get some sort of opinion on the candidates.

4. Who was president when you were born? Nixon. Yay.

5. If you could choose anyone, dead or alive, to be president, who would it be? Well Clinton didn’t do that bad of a job as President. Maybe his personal life was a train wreck, but what’s that got to do with being President.
