Cafferty: Bush in '08?
WATCH "The Cafferty File" here.

Would you vote for a 2008 presidential ticket that had the name "Bush" on it?

Yes, I would vote for a ticket with a Bush on it. Jeb Bush is not George Bush, and thank God, not a Hillary Clinton. Besides, there isn't a politician in this country running today that I trust. -Virginia, Trophy Club, Texas

You sure know how to get my attention. This sounds like the backdoor approach for getting in another Bush as president. Have him as a running mate and then ascend into the presidency. I think Romney knew exactly what he was saying and we have to take him seriously. -Bonnie, New York

Jack, The only thing any Bush is good for would be a front line dog food taster, and even then I'd demand a second opinion before I let my dog try the stuff. -Mark, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

Now that I'm off the floor from laughing so hard, I would have to say that would be as bad as voting for a ticket with the name Clinton on it. -Larry, Biloxi, Mississippi

"Bramble," "Briar," "Creeper," "Hedge," "Plant," "Scrub," "Shrub," "Thicket," "Vine," "Wild," "Woodland," or even "Brush" (maybe), but "Bush"? NEVER! -Jeffrey, Buffalo, New York

Does Hollywood support help or hurt a presidential candidate?
The answer here is really simple. Financially they are helpful; supporting the candidate openly is a big negative. Quite frankly, none of the elite in Hollywood know what it means to work for a living. -Bill, Taconite, Minnesota

I don't think a Hollywood endorsement has any impact on candidates' success or failure. Endorsements are a relic of a bygone age, before cable news and the Internet allowed people to find out everything they need to know about a given candidate. -Roman, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I have to be honest Jack, I am so sick of hearing about "Hollywood values" as if it were truly important. Are the people who live in Hollywood not Americans too? Are they not also entitled to support who they want politically and exercise their 1st Amendment rights? -Kristen, Syracuse, New York

Frankly, when a Hollywood personality endorses a candidate, I'm inclined to run the other way. Just as any American, they (the "stars") have a right to whatever candidate they choose, but considering the choices most "stars" make in their personal lives, I would not base anything on their recommendations. -Maureen, Lexington, Kentucky

What warning label would you put on a country you've visited?
When stopped by a police officer in lesser traveled tourist cities of China do not be surprised if you are accused of an imaginary infraction and asked to pay your "fine" on the spot. While this may appear to be a case of public corruption, you should treat it as a "gratuity" for the officer's keen sense of perception that you are a foreigner. -Fabian, Miami Beach, Florida

I would put "Good Teeth Beware" on England. Even if you've never seen an orthodontist, they automatically assume anyone with good teeth is a "bloody" American. -Renee, Cincinnati, Ohio

United States: The land of opportunity, if you're an illegal immigrant, rapper, politician, or sports star. -Stuart, Tybee Island, Georgia

If I were going to Mexico, I would put a warning that you will probably get Montezuma's revenge even if you do not drink the water (that happened to my sister) and/or get mugged (that happened to a friend). If you are going to Europe, I would warn that probably everyone hates you, so pretend you are Canadian (that happened to my cousin) and don't get into any political conversations. -Carol, California
