Film sways voters

After watching the newest Michael Moore film Saturday, Adam Burchfield said he “definitely won’t vote for Bush.”

Most people who attended the showings this weekend at Central Mall Cinemas, though, said “Fahrenheit 9/11” won’t likely turn President Bush’s strongest supporters against him.

Burchfield, 20, Salina, said his opinion about Bush and the current administration has been “teeter-tottering” back and forth for quite some time.

Watching “Fahrenheit 9/11,” though, changed that, he said.

“It really influenced me,” Burchfield said. “I definitely won’t vote for Bush now. It really opened my eyes to some things.”

The movie implies that the Bush family has close business ties with the bin Laden family and other wealthy Saudis. It suggests President Bush didn’t really win the close election in 2000, he said. And parts of the film, he said, make the president look plain clueless.
