Who will you vote for?
Dean in the Primary (Pa), like it'll do me any good in Pa... Democrat in the general election.
Do you always vote for a specific party?
No. I voted for my congressman, Todd Platts, a Republican, this last round. I would have voted for John McCain over the 'final four' of the 2000 election as well.
What persuades you?
Environmental issues primarially, then fiscal responsibility. My new hot issue is railing against Governmental support for human rights abusing dictators.
What do you look for in a candidate?
Intelligence, honesty and humility. The kind of man who will look for a broad range of opinions before he makes any important policy decisions. Someone who is well read, articulate and has good people skills. A good diplomat.
Do you want Bush to be re-elected? Why/why not?
Never. I could never support him for president. He is environmentally destructive. He gives way too much weight to corporate concerns. He is fiscally unsound, supports brutal dictators, seems to be disingenuous, is proud of his ignorance and comes off to me every day as a spoiled rich boy.
What views do you feel strongly about?
Strong, pro-active environmental protection. Liberty: marry who you want, say what you want, (ex. No to FCC ban of Fuck..)... Censorship is bad.
Do you want soemone who has a sense of humor?
Yes, I think that is important as a sense of humor shows a man is approachable, kind, and bright.
Would you like to see a woman- even a coloured woman take the position?
Yes, but only if she is the most qualified candidate.
Do you feel that religion/beliefs should be the backbone of a President's views/motives/actions?
No, facts the american peoples wishes should be the backbone of all a Presidents views. This is a secular nation and the President should run it as such.
