I
ASKED 10 FEMALES AND 10 MALES OF GENERATION Y WHO THEY'RE
VOTING FOR IN THE ELECTIONS AND WHY?
SUMMARIES
OF GIRLS' ANSWERS:
1. LISA: Nader. Out of all the lame candidates to
vote for, he's the best one because he cares about the environment
and corporate greed and other good issues.
2. LAURA: Nader. He's in the Green Party and I don't
like the other two.
3. GEN: Gore, because my party is the Democrats.
4. VERONICA: Probably Gore, because I'm a Democrat,
though I'm sick of the Clinton/Gore scene and attracted
to Bush's "compassionate conservatism" image, so I'm not
entirely sure.
5. KAYEE: Probably Bush, because I'm a republican,
but not sure.
6. SANDRA: Maybe Gore, because he's a Democrat.
7. LORI: Won't vote because electoral politics is
a scam.
8. SARA: Al Gore. He is a wonderful man and I absolutely
detest George Bush and everything he stands for.
9. HANNAH: I will vote for Bush, because he seems
more stable of a candidate.
10. MARIKO: Gore, because I'm a Democrat and I really
don't trust Bush.
SUMMARIES OF BOYS' ANSWERS:
1. DZEE: Gore, because he's on Clinton's side and
I admire Clinton as a person and Bush is too conservative.
2. JOHN: Gore, because he's pro-choice and I don't
want a politician taking away a woman's right to an abortion.
3. RODNEY: Nader, because the other two are bad choices.
4. JACOB: I want Nader, but will vote for Gore since
he has a better chance of winning and is better than Bush.
4. Dave: Bush, because I'm a conservative and Gore
just seems like he's too much into saving the earth. I
think we need to focus preserving the constitution. I've
always believed that we need to be responsible for how we
do in life and I could of easily been a bum but I decided
to do something with my life. I do think that those of us
who are fortunate should instinctivly help others and not
have the government force us to do it by taking my money!
Also think that Gore needs to get a real job for once in
his life.
5.
NAJEE: Gore, though it's a hard decision, but it
was good he chose a minority for V.P.
6. JIA: Bush, because he's a Republican.
7. ANTHONY: Probably Gore, because he was Clinton's
V.P.
8. DAN: Nader, because I strongly support the Green
Party.
9. DANIEL: If it isn't close by the time California (Daniel's
state) votes, then I'll vote Nader, because he's
the best. If it's close and Gore has a chance, then I'll
vote for him so as to keep Bush out.
10. JULIEN: Gore, because he supports humanity and
not big business.
