Who Did you Vote For?
by Jose Rosario

We all know what the results are, but why did everyone vote for who they voted for? Was it because of the debates? Was it because they were registered as a republican or democratic? Maybe it was because they want to see what one candidate vs. another would do for the United States? Well to find out what the people thought, we at HarlemLIVE decided to take matters into our own hands and survey those in our community to find out why they voted for each candidate.


Name: Alfred
Age: --
Resident: --

Did you vote?
Yes
Who did you vote for?
Bush

Why did you vote for them, if you did not vote why not?
I voted for Bush because of the fact that the election is based on the war. Both candidates are over looking other major topics such as abortion, urbanization, morals and discrimination. Everyone is worrying about finance but should really be more concerned with morals.

Yes

Kerry
Why did you vote for them, if you did not vote why not?
Delaying world order is my main priority. I know Kerry will delay while Bush would just hasten the whole process. Also, Kerry seems to be lighter on African-Americans.

Kerry
Why did you vote for them, if you did not vote why not?
I don’t approve of Bush at all. Kerry is not much of a difference but he is more balanced than Bush.

I’m a life-long Texan and know Bush personally. As everyone else he has made many mistakes but once your born a republican always a republican. He’s a great man and has done well.

I’m big on debating so there is too much to consult about but a major issue would have to be how much money is being spent on war and not on everything else.
