Hail to the Cheese (from Vic's site)
That's trite folks, this week's gets political with its moldy, oldy self.

So, enough jibber jabber, let's get to the questions!

1. If you had a choice of dinner with George W. Bush or John Kerry, which would it be, why and what would you serve?

John Kerry, so we could discuss his image and the fact he spends too much time defending the allegations the Shrub people put out about him to distract the public from the real issues. I would tell him to talk with President Clinton and learn from his campaign on how to win.

What would I serve? Roast with potatoes, onions, carrots... simple, easy to make and wouldn't distract me from the discussion by having to check on it all the time.

2. What are your three major criteria for choosing who to vote for?

(1) The economy...jobs!! Keeping manufactures in America! Too many of us are out of work because our jobs (the service industry for me) are now being shipped to other countries where they can get cheaper labor. Someone told me it's good for the manufactures because they make more money and the people in India, etc, will start buying the products... uh huh... good for the manufactures, but what about America and Americans who can't afford to buy the products because they don't have jobs, so our unemployment rate and people on welfare go up... we need to give the tax breaks to the companies who stay in America not the ones who leave America.

(2) civil liberties...we're losing to many of our freedoms guaranteed by the constitution. Agree or disagree this is America and we are supposed to have freedom of speech, but the current Resident has put a stop to that by punishing anyone who disagrees with his unreasonable irrational policies.

(3) Child care... we need to help single mothers more and not expect them to work 2 or 3 minimum wage jobs just to support their families. we need to give subidies to businesses for onsite childcare.

3. Do you plan to vote "for" someone or "against" someone?

That's a sad question and an even sadder answer. I plan to vote against Bush. I don't see Kerry as a strong leader and I wish I did, but from what I have seen he doesn't have the leadership qualities of Bill Clinton and we need someone like Clinton to get America strong again.

4. What bothers you most about this presidential election?

That people are falling for the Bush rhetoric and are allowing themselves to be fooled that the real issue is whether Kerry burned his ribbons or his medals, rather than the fact we are in an illegal war and many young American's are dying, that our economy is in the gutter because he is so busy taking care of his big business buddies he has forgotten the rest of American... that John Kerry gets caught up in it himself and we have lost track of the real issues.

5. How much does a candidate's religious affiliation have to do with your decision to vote for him?

None and a lot... none if the candidate is reasonable and rational and doesn't allow his or her religion to color their decisions, since we are a country of many religions.

A lot if the candidate tries to dictate our actions based on their own personal religious views.

6. When do you think the first female president will be elected?

I agree with Victoria on this one... 2012 and it will be Hilary Clinton following John Kerry into the office.

7. Who, among prominent politicians, would you most like to see in the White House?

Bill Clinton... I miss him!!! He had his issues but damn I would rather have a president who got screwed the white house than one who gets in the white house and screws us!

8. Who, among all people, would you like to see in the White House?

Joan Baez...she always had it together politically and I think she would lead the country to peace, prosperity, and she can sing about it during her talks to the nation :-).
