1. Nope. Got DIEBOLD? The GOP does.

They're in office and they're going to stay in office.

Think 4th Reich.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

3. If that's how you feel, why haven't you sparked all out rebellion yet?

:shrug: Or have you just given up completely?

[radwriter0555]

34. I've given up completely. There is no way to beat this regime. It will

take NATO in the streets of washington to remove this regime, and it will take at least 10 years.

I'm sorry.

[yurbud]

2. Get him to run for governor of california first

so we can get that Austrian puppet out before he pulls us down to a Third World society.

Tom Hanks, Sheen, Harrelson Pile on Schwarzenegger

Arnold Schwarzenegger might not be a conservative, but he has the far left in a tizzy - and movie star Tom Hanks is taking the lead in the "stop Arnold" movement.

Hanks "and many other card-carrying Hollywood Democrats" are ganging up to sabotage his gubernatorial campaign, the New York Post's Page Six column reveals today.

"Tom was furious when article in the Los Angeles Times appeared on Tuesday, saying Creative Artists Agency would help Arnold in his bid for governor," Page Six's La-La Land source says. "Tom and other power players are absolutely against Arnold becoming governor."

The Times claimed that Schwarzenegger "has asked CAA to join his political effort, largely by tapping the Beverly Hills-based agency's entertainment relationships to help raise campaign funds and rally voters."

20. Good Guy Hero Tom Hanks would crush Bad Guy Action Arnold with

his little toe.

[prodigal_green]

4. Nah

he was a cross-dresser early in his career.

[norml]

7. And Ronald Reagan co-starred with a Chimp, only adds to his charm.

[Kerrytravelers]

5. So, this is what's its come down to.

Movie star versus movie star.

[norml]

18. A modern politician must be able to look good, and deliver their lines

Ronald Reagan, and Pope John Paul the Second were actors. They showed of what value acting ability can be. Arnold only became Governor, because he's an action adventure movie star. Bill Clinton, though never a professional actor, knows how to act, and deliver a star performance. Tom Hanks, like Ronald Reagan, has played the likable everyman hero so well, that he is nearly universally loved, more than any other living actor. That is who he is in the public mind. That is who he seems to be in real life. Why not take advantage of it?

[Kerrytravelers]

26. I'm not against taking adventage of anything. I"m not being negaitve

just reflective.

Right now, we're just movie star crazy in this country. So now, lets have movie star versus movie star running for the Oval Office.

Why not? The country is going to hell anyway. Why not have entertainment there? It's like the band that entertained the passengers on the Titanic.

[OneBlueSky]

6. if we're going to pick an actor, I choose Robert Redford . . .

he's informed, he's active, and he's an environmentalist . . . and probably smarter than any politician we could nominate . . .

[Totally Committed]

8. John Cusak...

great guy and active Democrat. I also love Hanks.

TC

[Kerrytravelers]

Cusak went with Kerry to western red states.

[Totally Committed]

15. And, before Wes dropped out...

was a Clarkie! Both he, and his girlfriend at the time, Meg Ryan, were Clarkies. Fundcheck will bear me out on this.

I love John!

TC

[norml]

25. "his girlfriend at the time, Meg Ryan" ? No match for the Hanks Family

[norml]

48. John Cusack is not as well liked, nor as famous as Tom Hanks.

Those posting his name on this thread, didn't even spell it correctly. John Cusack's screen image is that of a shifty character. He could not win the Presidency with ease.

[Arugula Latte]

14. He's pushing 70, though.

nt

[NYCGirl]

10. Here's one who's actually expressed interest in running for office:

[Totally Committed]

13. He's Anti-Choice...

That would make him a no-go for me.

TC

[0007]

21. Cross that sucker off if he's anti-choice.

Redford & Hanks are both good men.

[Kerrytravelers]

27. Sheen is anti-choice?

I didn't know that. Surprizing. Is he a first-term abortion only kind of guy, or totally no-choice ever?

You learn something new everyday.

[otohara]

31. He Believes In A Woman's Right to Choose

Q: What are your views on abortion?

Sheen: I cannot make a choice for a women, particularly a black or brown or poor pregnant woman. I would not make a judgment in the case. As a father and a grandfather, I have had experience with children who don't always come when they are planned, and I have experienced the great joy of God's presence in my children, so I'm inclined to be against abortion of any life. But I am equally against the death penalty or war-- anywhere people are sacrificed for some end justifying a means. I don't think abortion is a good idea. I personally am opposed to abortion, but I will not judge anybody else's right in that regard because I am not a woman and I could never face the actual reality of it.

http://execprivilege.tripod.com/id151.html

[Kerrytravelers]

32. I can accept that. It sound reasonable to me. Ok. Flame away.

[JerseygirlCT]

46. Nope, I'm with you

So long as he's not interested in taking away rights, he's perfectly free to think abortion isn't a good thing.

[Merope215]

47. I agree

As far as I'm concerned, people can think whatever they like about abortion, as long as they're not into legislating their views to restrict other people's choice. I'm with you. :P

[sandnsea]

55. Well there's a campaign blunder

I had no idea that was Martin Sheen's position on abortion. Where the hell was he during the campaign. We could have used voices like his to put the consistency in Kerry's supposedly equivocal position. Which wasn't equivocal at all, lots of women say they would never have an abortion, but don't want to put that judgement on other women.

[AntiCoup2K4]

11. Hanks will never get the red state vote

He used to be a cross dresser, remember?

[norml]

12. He has more chance of getting the Red State Vote, than any other actor,

including Arnold.

[AntiCoup2K4]

22. Ahnold isn't eligible to run

Not yet anyway. And let's hope it stays that way.

[BlueIris]

53. Except maybe Will Smith. n/t

[Debs]

16. If we are looking for a liberal actor to run for office

I say Alec Baldwin. He is smart, funny and he damn sure knows his political issues

[Totally Committed]

17. He also has an Ex-Wife ...

who says he used to physically abuse her. Not good.

TC

[norml]

19. Alec Baldwin could not win the Presidency with ease, Tom Hanks could.

Alec Baldwin is not nearly as popular with the public, nor does he have as heroic an image with common humility as Tom Hanks. Tom Hanks for President! Governor Hanks of California first, President Hanks of the United States of America next.

[AntiCoup2K4]

23. He's already got the idiot brother thing going for him.

Though Stephen Baldwin might be a bigger moron than Billy Carter and Roger Clinton combined.

[Kerrytravelers]

28. Stephen Baldwin is one of those fundy types now.

VH1 was doing a 30 minute thing on religion and pop culture. THere was Stepohen Baldwin, hyping his new skateboarding for Jesus vidoe, looking like a fundy fool.

Is this the same twit who was in The Usual Suspects? It's hard to believe.

[Dr Fate]

36. He resembles Ronald Regan, in a way. I mean that in a good way.

I agree- I think Alec could really do somthing some day. Great voice too...

[barb162]

40. but didn't he beat up Kim Basinger? Wasn't that at least the rumor

29. Could Michael Ironsides win?

[sellitman]

30. You want tough?

How about Danny Devito? Is he a Dem? No one could touch him. And you think Hillary was a loud First lady?

Furgeddaboutit!!!!!

Danny 2008!!!!

[Lindacooks]

33. All right!! Rita Wilson for First Lady!

[kiraboo]

35. I've seen Hanks interviewed a couple of times.

I hate to say it, but he doesn't seem to be too sharp. Maybe he was having an off day...?

[FreeStateDemocrat]

37. Being dumb didn't stop the idiot from getting into office.

[kk897]

38. Movieline a few years back implied that Hanks

regularly smokes his bodyweight in pot. That could be a problem, scandal-wise.

Not that it was for Bush, with coke...

[bush_is_wacko]

39. I love Tom Hanks, but why would he give up a job where he is

allowed to say whatever he wants and DO whatever he wants without outside pressure from his party? Honestly, I think MOST actors can do a much better job of leading this country by using their money and their faces to promote good causes and set good examples the way Hanks has! Eventually those good examples and real words coming from RESPECTED and GROUNDED Hollywood types would get to through to a few folks on the fence. These people have NOT been speaking out! They spoke in large numbers during the Vietnam War, but it seems to me they are sitting back testing the wind in case their statements might effect their careers. They think the wind is blowing "thuglican" so they are staying out of it. Remember careers were destroyed and actors and directors were blacklisted and labeled communists not too long ago. There is seemingly a trend in that direction now. I can't say I blame them for being scared, but THEY need to remember how powerful THEY can be in LARGE numbers. If they ALL speak out they have the power to combat AIDS, HUNGER, and MANY other issues. Fear has this country by it's collective balls IMO, and Hollywood is cowering right along with the rest of us!

[barb162]

41. didn't know he was a Democrat

[kenny blankenship]

43. Me Neither

All I can say at this point in our national decline is, if he's against what Bushco is doing to this country, I don't care if he's a officially running as a Libertarian, I'll work to get any SINCERE, non-Fascist, non-idiot elected. (Although it's hard to find a Libertarian who isn't a simple-minded idiot and prone to enabling Fascists)

[tjdee]

42. Q Score's most likeable personality=Tom Hanks.

Just read this. Q Score is apparently used by advertisers to figure out which celeb to choose for which product?

Anyway, Tom Hanks is an extremely likeable, unimpeachable figure.

Dem bigwigs don't like that. Their preference would probably be someone like...I don't know, someone unlikeable.:eyes:

[Pushed To The Left]

44. That might not be a bad idea!

[Nikki Stone 1]

45. So we are voting for celluloid heroes instead of the real thing?

It would be a real slap in the face to John Glenn if someone who played an astronaut got to be president and he didn't.

[blockhead]

49. here

[zann725]

50. And I thought you were going to say "Jane Fonda"...

Sorry, "Gump" is an excellent actor; but NOT at all Presidential material.

[norml]

52. No, not Jane Fonda, and why is "Gump" "NOT at all Presidential material"?

[norml]

54. Forrest Gump

[Totally Committed]

58. George Bush is Forrest Gump's Evil Twin (n/t)

TC

[kevsand]

51. Pam Grier!

She'd kick their fuckin' asses. Maybe she could get Salma Hayak for VP. Let's break all the barriers at once...

[Piperay]

56. NO...after Raygun and Arnie

no more actors...x(

[saracat]

57. ALL people who run for office are actors.

Some are just good enough to be paid for it without being politicians!
