Another endorsement for Mittens..John Voight?

Didnt realize Voight was a Tea Bagger..Now does this sound like a hate speech ?


So much is at stake, so much is at stake. How can you possibly imagine cutting back the scale and the capacity of America’s military,” said Romney. “I can’t imagine it. Look around the world.”

“I think he has a view that America is in decline, and that the best course for America is to appease and accommodate the worst actors in the world — I’m not referring to anyone you know Jon – I’m talking about people like Ahmadinejad, and Castro and Chavez and Kim Jong-un, and all the people who threaten the world. And so he opens a hand to them,” Romney said.

2. My wife has a theory on guys like Jon Voight, Ray Stevens, Dennis Miller, et al: Early Alzheimer's.

Her theory goes like this:
-Ronald Reagan, starts off as a Democrat, says several times over that FDR was the greatest president ever... then he goes all right wing, then...Alzheimer's.
-Margaret Thatcher, came from a liberal family...she goes all right wing, and then, Alzheimers.
-Charlton Heston, liberal, marched with Martin Luther King in 1963... somewehre along the line, he jumps the rails, becomes the NRA's darling, then...Alzheimer's.

If you've seen (I know, it's difficult) Dennis Miller in recent years, he acts like someone who's suffered a breakdown...or something. His hands tremble, his voice quavers, etc.

As for Voight, Stevens, and other notables who've gone over to the dark side...stay tuned.

I don't know a lot about him, the first time I ever heard of him was when George Costanza bought his car on Seinfeld but to my knowledge he never expressed any coherent thoughts on politics or anything else for that matter. He may indeed be suffering from some form of early onset dementia but it's equally likely that he is simply just a very stupid individual.

12. Stupid People Who Don't Read ALWAYS Say Ayn Rand Is Their Fav Author

They don't know any other writers and they think choosing Rand makes them look smart. As to why Pitt stays with her, she must be great in the sack.

7. Remember when cancervatives said "who cares what a Hollywood actor thinks?"

THEY do, especially when he's box office poison.

Reagan
That turd Fred Thompson
The completely talentless Baldwin bro
Any of the washed up actors appearing in "christian" films over the last 20 years, especially Kirk Cameron.

Yes, it sucks that some actors are one-trickers. Victoria Jackson was thought to be a good comedian, till everyone realized she was serious.

At least Gary Coleman had the decency to actually work in a real job, as a security guard, after he'd used up all his "Whatchoo talkin' bout, Willis" points.
