Rock On Michael!

Michael Moore, you may hate him, you may love him, it does not matter, is doing what our government should be doing – bringing attention to an issue that needs to be addressed. Reform will not work! Kill the system and start over.

Huckabee is of course dirt-ignorant, and I suppose an all-too-easy ad hominem attack is the best he can manage in “speaking” of our grave health care concerns.

And if he’s unaware, has anyone informed Huckabee: there are quite a lot of skinny patients with heart disease, diabetes and the like, out there!

Go Hillary 08 http://www.hillaryis44.com/ http://facts.hillaryhub.com/

"you find a man who is out to take on the wealthy and powerful who have made life so miserable for so many"

You mean our elected royalty from both Parties in DC?

We really need a president who will stand up for working people. I am afraid that Mrs. Clinton will not be that person. She has yet to say that she is sorry she voted for the war.

Hey FAIR TAX, who won the war of 1812?

The Dec 31 headline in the Salt Lake Tribune reads ' Did Gov Leanitt cross the Line" Governor Leavitt and his top advisors held "seminary " meetings to discuss the role of LDS {Mormon} teaching in government. Former gov. and current cabinet sec Mike Leavitt sought to infuse the lessons of his religion into his inaugural addess and into state policy. He and his advisors discussed how to incorporate "just and holy" morman principles into the goverance,archival records show.
Also serveral weeks ago there were 3 liquor commission seats that needed to be filled. Chris Vanocur of ABC Channel 4 in SLC reported that the Mormon church sent the now governor their recommendation to fill the 3 seats. If anyone does not think that Mitt Romney would not be sent the same messages from the church elders , it is just not so. The Mormons are not a church, they are a giant business that runs the state of Utah. They will be running our government and out lives if Mitt gets in. All of my info can be substariated. http://www.sltrib.com is the website for the paper, however i would never want my name released because I fear them.

Moore is a responsible filmmaker who uses his fame and resources to alert the American public to issues that the Republicans, by the nature of their conservative idealism, divert attention to by wagging the dog of war, patriotism and a “liberal” agenda. There is nothing wrong with calling attention to our healthcare system: it is perhaps the most important issue in America that should unite both sides of the aisle and the campaign trail. Any presidential candidate who chooses to consider it otherwise does not deserve to waste an American’s time or vote. Moore does not pretend to have all the answers, but surely has more solutions than all the other candidates, united, at the exception of Edwards and Hillary.

Any person who wants to be President and ignores the best studies that have been made on universal health care doesn’t deserve to be a candidate for dog catcher. The best are SICKO and the Harvard System research study which shows the savings of the single payer program. Harvard showed a savings of $85 Billion per year in profit, high salaries, and overhead costs.

Mike Huckabee’s derogatory comments towards Moore’s physique are indicative of the way American conservatives think about society. Huckabee suggests that the healthcare crisis is the result of bad individual choices, and that good choices are the answer. Of course, these conservative never like to address the question of capacity to choose based on resources or nature — rather, they prefer to fetishize choice as some kind of idealized value. Huckabee’s comments are one step away from saying the government shouldn’t do anything. Your house catches fire, too bad, I guess you shouldn’t have been so stupid as to build it in the path of a lightning bolt. Moore makes a good point when he highlights America’s “socialized” services like fire fighters and police. Generally everyone agrees we need those, I guess the difference between those services and healthcare is that there isn’t a pro-fire or pro-crime lobby with lots of money to donate to our idiot politicians.

Go Hillary 08 http://www.hillaryis44.com/ http://facts.hillaryhub.com/

Moore is twisting the facts when he talks about Clinton's vote to send us to war in Iraq. She agreed to military action, but first outlined other solutions she would prefer first, that were actually more wise. Her agreeement was 'only' as a last resort before laying out many other options. Obama is a nice guy, but seems like kid. He is too young and not mature enough to be president. He is a big talker, eveident by his voting record as Senator. Talk about sitting on the fence, 'not voting' as hsi status for most votes while Senator.

No matter what you think of his politics, its sad to see so much hatred towards him in these comments. Michael Moore is a human being who sides with the less fortunate folks in our society. Even if you disagree with his methods, isn't his goal worthy of a tiny bit of respect? Instead of writing epithets, how about raising some legitimate concerns about his approach, or pointing out inconsistencies in his arguments?

Ok, so would any one explain to me how this is different:

Bush and Bush and Clinton and Clinton?

if you hear Hillary talk, she feels entitled to lead the country, she talks as if she has been elected.
What experience is she talking about? that of her husband?

if she did care about the people of this country she and bill would step aside and let change take place, however, this is about power adn control a woman who believes she can lie to the people who can shift from day to day from journalist to journalist. who votes one way and later says ohhh it was Bush who lead me to believe this or that.

I am sorry but she does not represent women in this country and having her mother and her daugther next to her shows who she really is, she has to get others next to her to make who she is.

Hillary and Bill see themselves as the Kennedy's of this country, or should i say
they are the wanna be Kennedy.

she is turning many of us indpendent and other democrats to vote for republicans.......

Thank you for writing this. I might add, that the Clintons think they are the Kennedy's of this country . I am ashamed of Hillary and of what she represents, she talks as if she is entitled to be the president. If she and her husband really cared about this country and the war, and the issues really going on, they both would step out to the side and let others do the things that must be done. It is not about what is best for America or Americans that matters to the Clintons, what matters to them is about getting to power, continue their legacy. I voted democrat last time, as a mother and a woman I will vote republican if this woman is nominated to be the candidate of the democrats.............
we need change and clinton and clinton is not change , that is supporting family legacies, and self centerd individuals who want power and feel entitrle to say and do whatever it takes to get to power.
No matter who she has in her side, if Bill, her mother and or daugther, HIllary is fake and I would not vote for her. Leaders need to be truthful and honest she is not.

Uh-oh! Since this isn't 'journalism' that endorses her inevitablity, or makes her look like the Messiah, the Hillidiots will come out in full force and declare this as 'biased political garbge'. How pathetic.

And by pathetic I mean the fact the Clinton News Network is posting a negative ad about her to fool readers into believing that they are not in their her back pocket after all.

THIS GUY LOOKS LIKE PORKY PIG!!!
HE IS A FAT CAT NOW FOR SURE, ENJOY YOUR MONEY DUDE.
WITH PEOPLE LIKE HIM WE WOULD NOT HAVE BEATEN THE BRITISH !!!

I am trying to decide on who to vote for and I have come to the concludson that with lords helps the best man for the job is John Edwards.
He has alot going for him and I hope he is elected for president.
I would not vote for Clinton if it came to her or the anti christ .
She just has something about her thats says lies all over the place.
I dont trust her .I have nothing to say about Obama If it comes between Clinton and Obama I will vote for Obama But for now my vote is for Edwards I will keep him in my prayers and pray that he will be the nextg president.

Thank you
Lynda Godbold

Is it even possible for ANYONE to give Michael Moore any credence? Propagandists like him make me sick, mostly because they're so earnest in their delusion. It's almost like he believes the crazy that spews from his mouth. If Moore were to collide with another crack-pot like Pat Robertson, they would simply disappear into a poof of emotion based, reason blind rhetoric.

Moore is the one resigning when he doesn't support the man who he agrees with on virtually every issue. Kucinich CAN win, and that's why I'm voting for him. The one who deserves to win deserves my support and my vote.

If you want to know why I think he can win, visit http://www.kucinichcantwin.com

And remember, In 1992, Bill Clinton got 3% in Iowa and only about 2.8% in New Hampshire. It's not over 'till it's over, folks. It's time to point out to everyone that Iowa and New Hampshire aren't as important as some people would say. The early states don't mean everything. Vote for who deserves your vote and stop being told who to vote for.

Go to http://www.dennis4president.com and see where the man stands on the issues!

Hmmm?

Obama worked with with his collegue Sen. Richard Lugar-R on the nuclear waste cleanup issue, out in old soviet bloc countries.

He was sought after to work on legislation with Sen. John McCain-R.

I assume he's probably worked with many more of his collegues in the Senate, including Republicans.

He had that publicized meeting with Mayor Bloomberg.

He doesn't seem to be too afraid of talking to and with Republicans, although he needs to lay off the Arnold S. praise!

[sidebar: Bloomberg cut corners by not making restrooms available for the New York New Years Day revelry and tourist? Bad judgement! Big problem, probably a logistical nightmare, and policymakers should rethink or plan for the mass gathering crowd spectacles? Tacky, no room in the budget, low respect for human dignity? Again Barack H. Obama, don't get too close to these guys who hopefully diverge too far from the majorities shared moral humane values!]

I disagree, I don't think Obama is too intimidated by his Republican rivals. I just think he's not undully exitable!

My guess is if Mr. Moore has his way, he would be kicking out the majority of the democrats out of the senate, cause the majority of the senate democrates voted with Senater Hillay.

Chris says above on January 2, 2008 at 12:40 pm ET

"Moore's comments about Barack Obama and the Republicans eating him alive completely disregard how he was polled to defeat each Republican in an election.

Barack Obama is not too soft, this man has charisma to take on whoever necessary. Obama is much of a scholar in addition to his personality and has always had the correct judgement and foresight to put America in the right direction."

Obama was polled to DEFEAT each Republican Presidential candidate !!!!!

Here are the TRUE facts from the horse's mouth:

Go Hillary 08 http://www.hillaryis44.com/ http://facts.hillaryhub.com/

Hillary being tricked by Bush is no excuse. It's her job not to be fooled into leading this nation down such a wrong path.

Moore is dead on right to ask the question if we want a president that was so easily misled.

He was even more right to say Democrats are experts at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. They blew it with Gore and Kerry, both ran totally impotent campaigns.

It is really discouraging to see the lot of candidates from both parties. A president
in difficult times shout be emenintly qualified and prestigeous, many of the candidates are none of it, some, as the the senator Biden and McCain, only some.
And of course, opinion of ridicolous guys as the here discussed should be not even be mentoned.

If the Demos would stop their populistic and hypocritical anti-Iraq-war campaign
and select somebody as Lieberman and the Republicans stop cater to the
extreme and religious right and choose somebody as Colin Powell, they would
fare much bettter (as long as both do not follow this advise !!)

The votes Lieberman woulf lose at the fanatic far left will be far compensated
be the ones he would syphon from the Republicans, as well the ultraright votes
Powell wiould loose would be far exceeded by moderate Democrats.

Unrelate to above but to a previous comment: Chavez is not ultra-left and Iran
is not left, but fanatically ultraright! !!

Micheal Moore, Pretty Boy Edwards, Dennis Kucinich and the spineless girlie man Barak Obama all believe the samething. They are absolutely convinced that America and its wealthy are responsible for all the misery in the world. Can you say Looney Tunes? There answer is to massivlely tax and regulate all big business. How will this stop outsourcing? John McCain 08 !!!

Michael Moore is just an American who cares about his country and he has made an impact on people with his documentaries.
partisan attacks are stupid and that is the only reason you hate him is because you disagree with him politically .
how childish

Part of me has always agreed with Mr. Moore on certain issues. And as I've grown up and older listening to him and watching hims movies part of me has grown away from what he has said in the past.

However, everything he has said about the Democratic candidates is also what I feel as a disgruntled democrat. The guy that should get the nomination is not running (Gore); the ones that actually represent change we so need aren't in first (Edwards); and those that only look good on paper but lack all experience needed to run this country are in the lead (Clinton/Obama.)

And no matter who gets the nod, the attack dogs of misinformation on the right and some on the fringe left, will undoubtedly destroy the foundation of any campaign to the point where another 8 years of republican control of the presidency is almost guaranteed.

Wy would we care what Moore thinks???????

I live in Clive, IA. I will be caucusing for Hillary tomorrow night. I am also a member of ONE and will be talking to pricinct captains about the issues of feeding, getting medical care, and clean water to the countries around the world who are in need. But my biggest reason to caucus tomorrow night is for health care. I watched my mom put off a mamogram for 3 years, trying to hold out until she was 65, because she could not afford one. I watched Sicko by Micheal Moore, and walked away thinking if only 10 percent of the movie was factual then we desperately need to revamp the laws for the Insurance companies, and the drug companies of America. My vote is for Hillary! She has a heart for helping people, espcially women, and children. She will get something done about the horrible have and have nots in the health care industry.

"Obama Portrait Music Video by Bjarne O"

What a tub of useless flesh

All Reslugs. totally fear Michael Moore for showing their absolute dishonesty, hatred and criminality of their lowlife ReSlug party.

I'm sure you would know if anyone did....

I agree with Michael Moore. Obama is too soft and doesn't have enough backbone to be a great leader of the country. Oprah leads him around like a little puppy. Without Oprah's celebrity and push, where would Obama be? I hope the voters aren't misguided and swayed by Oprah. Most people are far too intelligent to vote for Obama just because Oprah tells you to vote for him. Oprah was never involved in politics in the past, and now she hopes to use her fame and wealth to get her good friend into the oval office. The celebrities who use their image and fame for political purposes are such a joke, and it makes a mockery of the candidates and presidential office.

Dave, Jacksonville, FL

I am not very active in politics, I must say, other than what is being revealed through the media.

I've seen the 'swiftboat ads'. I don't know how much influence it has on the outcome of the election.

They can use the 'fear/race' card, but I don't think it will work. People have witnessed the destruction it causes this country. People are tired of being afraid. So, those candidates who put fear in their hearts, they will backfire, and those who put hopes in their hearts, they will welcome it, something to work on for a better future.

Fear paralyzes you. Hope is the remedy. You can choose to be a force that further paralyzes the country, or the force to begin healing the nation.

I just read on huffington post.com that Bidden and Richardson staffers told them they are dirrecting their staffers that if they don't reack viability to vote for Obama.

If there sources are good, this woud be anouter huge boost.

"Yes, democrats are not as "down and dirty" as republicans."

Ha ha, compare the way people act toward strangers in blue areas like New York City and then red areas like anywhere in the south or midwest, the facts show your comment is like everything else about your ideology, lies.

Micheal Moore is 100% what it is and means to be a liberal democrat. A nice representative of America's worst.

It would seem that what Mr. Moore says should be the most importaint thing that the Dem candidates listen to. Outside of the entitlement class takers who take from those who work hard, the other democrat voters are are made up of those hateful people that are defined by their anger who are told what to think and say at Moore-on.org.

"He had special praise for John Edwards and his anti-corporate rhetoric.

'It's hard to get past the hair, isn't it? But once you do — and recently I have chosen to try — you find a man who is out to take on the wealthy and powerful who have made life so miserable for so many.'"

Didn't Edwards pick a legal battle with one of his neighbors – a financially poor one at that – because the man didn't have enough money to keep his plot of land up to JE's standards? What hypocrisy.

We need to draft Michael Moore and Cindy Sheehan to save this country!

Michael M is entitled to his opinions about each of the candidates just like the rest of us but he has 1 vote. I believe the most important thing is that EVERYONE show up and submit their real opinions in the voting booths for a change. I believe that if we have 300 million people a president should not be elected based on 50 million votes. I believe the real majority of the American people are moderate, peaceful folks who are willing to earn their share of the pie for their families.

I don't think celebrity endorsement helps and hurts a candidate. People will vote for who they think would be the best for for the country ... or win the election.

On the other hand, celebrity risks losing their fans if they make endorsement. For example, if Oprah endorses Obama, she potentially loses fans who support Hillary, Edwards, Biden, Dodd, Richardson, Kucinich,etc. How many of you who support other candidates no longer like her or watch her show because she supports Obama?

So, Oprah is taking a big risks of losing her fan by publicly endorsing Obama and even campaign for him. As Michelle Obama said, we wear many hats. Oprah, wearing her citizen hat, takes a big risk, by endorsing Obama, who she thinks would be best for the country. I don't think she can influence other people how they vote, but she is engaged – which is something Obama wants, a country where its citizens are engaged. You don't have to vote for him, but you should vote and be engaged, just as a citizen should be.

Something Americans seem to have completely overlooked in this campaign is the actual effort and past record that both Clintons have extended to the American people and will no doubt continue win or lose after this election. Barack Hussein Obama has much to overcome, combined with his inexperience and has yet to show anything that might identify him as being an effective leader domestic or international. He has yet to show the same dedication to the U.S. people that the Clintons have demonstrated, only what appears to be a personal reach for power and so that Oprah can be first lady!

Wow almost every single comment has been either frothing from the left and right. Michael Moore has already proven he can ad-lib his movies as well as cut and paste to fit his needs. What you Hillary lovers should be concerned about are the innacurate information she has been spouting. First she claimed if she took office oil prices would be reduced; and these oil barons wouldn't be able to gouge the American people. Sigh.......................cost and demand as well as forcasting drive the price of oil; not the oil barons. Secondly her faux paux about Pakistan as well. You guys need to buy a clue....................we are no better now then we were before. Lesser of the two evils.

Trang, I'm guessing you don't remember the 2004 election very well... Can you say "swift boat"?

Take it from one who was "in the trenches" last time around – Republicans can be absolutely vicious, and they seem to win votes that way. All they have to do is play the race / fear cards.

We (Democrats) need to STAND FOR SOMETHING. Quit arguing over who you think could beat what Republican, and talk about what each candidate brings to the table.

John Toth- of course this isn't the America you grew up in- is it supposed to be? Things change, times change and with it- so must we....

I'M STILL WAITING FOR HANNITY TO PROVIDE THE PROOF THAT WMD'S EXIST SO HE CAN "RAM THEM DOWN FAT, MICHAEL MOORE'S THROAT!"

Hillary still using sarrogates to attack Obama even at the last minutes? Ooooh my God? I hope it will do more good to Obama if it does backfire on her!

Obama all the way!

Michael Moore and Cindy Sheehan should run for president and vice-president as a third party. They are both so smart and really care about America. They would really know how to run this country!

Hey! Moore you prob will hav'ta settle for the Lady in this campaign...Get over it!

I agree with you most of the time...but not meowing on the Hilliary run for prez...And you really think the repubs are going to have a chance after all this 8 years...Get real.

Incredible what Fake news and the rest of the corporate media has managed to accomplish in the last twenty years. Obviously the majority of the comments here in regard to Michael Moore were posted by people who get ninty nine percent of thier information from such sterling commentators as Rush Limbaugh and the rest of the right wing nuts. If anyone has paid any attention at all to what has happened to this country in the last seven years they might realize that Mike is dead right in his assesments. Wake up and look around this is not the America I grew up in many years ago. As to Moore take five minutes away from your video games and sports channels and watch a couple of his movies before making stupid statements.

I love Michael Moore! Love him or hate him, he's candid, seeks out the truth, and doesn't care what others think about him. He truly cares about Americans and whether you agree or disagree with his political leanings, he's a brilliant film maker. Do I agree with everything he says? Absolutely not, but I respect his views and his candor.

Michael Moore speaks for a large number of Democrats. He speaks the truth and we listen to him. I wish he would be more outspoken because we need to hear his ideas.

If Hillary was as involved in the Clinton White House as she claims, she would have already known all about the situation in Iraq and would not have been able to claim "Dubya lied to us about WMD". I'm sure she was given all the briefings that that Bubba got, even though she didn't have a clearance at the time.

What a right-wing bunch of kooks here! Michael Moore is hated because he scares the crap out of you guys. He tells the truth and you can't stand the truth. Michael Moore has more integrity and guts to say what's wrong (and how to make it right) than the whole gang at Fox and the fascist talking heads that have taken over our radio airwaves. A Democrat is going to win and you guys are freaking out!

he is just ignorant, and who cares what he thinks
he should stick to his day job

Michael Moore beilieves that the Republicans will eat 'Obama' alive.

I will say that just as when Hillary attacks Obama, it backfired on her. If the Republicans attack Obama, it will backfire on them just as well. We, the people, will not take it anymore. This explains why very few people attack Obama, they are smart, they know it will backfire on them. Obama knows this. Hillary is out of touch – that's why she wasn't able to sense this.

I find it humorous that people think John Edwards is out to defeat the wealthy and powerful. He's a wealthy former trial attorney. I'm pretty sure Michael Moore is also wealthy and a popular documentary film maker. Which wealthy and powerful people are John Edwards fighting against?

Michael Moore is so right on this. And that just highlights Hillary's arrogance and immaturity. If she pretends to be the most experience candidate, so why was she so easily misled about sending us in Iraq? Now we are spending billions of dollars in a senseless war whereas we could have used it for other important issues in this nation. Obama has my vote not only because of his day one opposition about the War in Iraq, but mainly because I believe he will bring the change all Americans want and gives this nation back his notorious reputation.

Walt, Belton, TX January 2, 2008 1:51 pm ET

That's might white of you, Wayne……………

Just calling them as I see them, Walt. And my race has nothing to do with it – a turd is a turd is a turd, as it were.

Blame the republicans for even drawing a contrast with democrat candidates. Maybe republicans should be polite and just sit out the races this year, so the democrats won't feel "eaten alive". What bunk.

Pray they under-estimate Obama's chances in the general election, and do nominate the shrill one. We will kick her butt, and do so with plenty of help from willing independents, moderates, and even democrats who are sick of the Clintons and want to MOVE ON.

Moore/Gore, a brand new category for "Documentary Films".

Ha Ha!!

If Moore "weighed in" on something it must have been a truck scale.

Why is the title pointing to Hillary only? I think Moore's comment about Obama's electability is more serious than reinforcing the war story that we know is Mr. Moore agenda.

Hillary '08!

"Democrats are experts at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory." How true.

Michael Moore's help in a campaign guarantees you to lose.

Why would the statement of Moore has any relevance? This is the man that promoted Nader extensively in 2000. More is only after self promotion! Nader is not the only person that gave us 8 years of Bush, Moore helped him achieve that; he doesn't have a soapbox to stand on!

HILLARY 2008!!!!!

I share Michael Moore's views on most every subject. I just feel that he is a little off in his pessimism as far as General Election is concerned. If we do nominate Mrs. Clinton (I will not vote for her in the primaries but I will in the general election) she will be propped up by one of the best electoral propaganda machines ever. She will beat any republican, while Obama and Edwards will have to do on issues – which is a doubtful proposition, since Kerry was clearly beating Dubya on issues and ended up losing.

Edward's and Kucinich's campaign platforms are the most appealing to me. Their tough pro-labor, anti-corporate stances would be very helpful in making our country a better place to live. But only Kucinich supports the truly nationalized health care that is already successfully enjoyed (in various implementation) by every other developed country in the world. We, in this country, already pay the most medical dollars per capita, yet, live shorter lives, have a higher mortality than the Brits, Swedes, Italians, the Swiss, Germans, the French, etc.

Even Michael Moore can be brainwashed by corporate-run mainstream media. Even though Dennis Kucinich is the candidate most in-line with his beliefs, "let's not waste time talking about him?" That is really stupid. I guess because Dennis asked his supporters to have Obama as their second choice in Iowa, that is resigning? I don't think that was Kucinich's intention.

And if Edwards takes on the wealthy, then he'd have to take on himself. It's a joke to think a man that lives in an 18-bdrm house getting ridiculously-priced haircuts at the expense of his hard-working contributors can relate to poverty at all.

DENNIS KUCINICH is the only choice... Obama, Hillary, and Edwards are lawyers and are very Bush-like as far as war-mongering, and being bought by corporations. They have all voted WRONG on so many important issues, but since Kucinich actually takes the time to read what he votes for, he always gets it right. THAT'S the President we deserve!

Kucinich is the only one that will make health care a right and not a privilege. The others will require that we pay into the corrupt private health insurance by law. How happy the corporations must be that all the money they've given them will pay off so well!

Nonsense, this type of talk make me feel, Give me Obama anytime of the day!

These people who think they are genious and can spin this country from one turmoil to the other should get a life. I think this is Karl Rove at best and I don't have time for this kind of people again.

Voting for Obama will be my dream come true.

What's a Michael Moore?

first and farmost i would like to say i like micheal moore's work but i think he is wrong when he asserts that obama is unelectable pionting to the fact that republicans will eat him alive. I am sure any one who defeats hillary clinton can defeat the republicans because they boths have the same slice and dice political tacticts. Second, people fail to notice that fact that Obama is very smart he avoided wasting his amnition in the TV debates while his nemesis was busy squaundering munitions on largely less efficient election weapon remember Bush Junior did not win any single TV debate but whenever he opened his mouth he spoke directly to his constituents. So is Obama he is firing munition effeciently thats why people still beleive that it charisma that is carry him all this way. I tell you micheal moore republicans ask Karl Rove would Kill for a charismatic guy like obama with no serious negatives. Electability is some times mis-defined ,i think electability is determined by the ability for a candidate to garner beleivability, simplicity, warmth, trustworthness, and the it, (defined as when Obama's face flashes on your Tv screen what is your first subconscious reaction? )

Micheal is wrong on this one. I think Obama can stand the heat.
Hillary will be stricken once and will look misearable just like she did in PA and in Nevada. She will go back to her hubby crying, ooooh I have been hit by this guy and I don't know what to do, then billy will send her back with another way of doing it and she will come back crying ooooh I have been hit again now should I quit? They are republicans and they are men, I am a woman they are attacking me.......

Hehehehehe, I am voting Obama CNN, get it or leave it!

LOL Walt – I'm sure both your comments will be gone when the CNN blog-jockey gets back from his smoke-break.

Some people will never understand that the Presidental election is about voting for the best guy. People who extol the virtues of either party over the other are deluded.

Reply to Scott in Madison –

do you come across the border to know that Obama has not been doing his job in Illinois? Name one thing Obama has achieved in Illinois other than to try to extract more taxes from the people for "social progams" for people who don't particularly care to work. Name one instance where he had to make a difficult decision and showed leadership. We just had 40 percent avg. property tax increase ! You read that rigth FORTY PER CENT ! Sales tax is about to go to double digits and the Democrats are reviewing other ways to tax us citizens of Ill. because that's just not enough taxes for them to keep the status quo ! Yet they vote themselves pay increases. So what has Obama done for Illinois that makes him qualified to go prime time ?

Well, the last of the three stooges, (Michael Moore) has spoken! We've heard form Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and now finally from the third IDIOT! Is this anything but Dumb, Dumber and now Dumbo!! It is truly unfortunate that the press gives these airbags coverage!

I'm no big Michael Moore fan, but I can't say I find much in his comments to disagree with. I would be interested to hear his comments on some of the other Democrat candidates.

Wayne:
Written like a true DemocRAT! Look we can both do it!

Thats what is wrong with America today! Whoever or whatever has given a voice to these self adulating know nothings like Moore! Leave his so called "expertise" to entertaining because that is all he and his ilk is qualified for!

So, because Michael Moore is fat he doesn't have a right to an opinion? What the hell is wrong with you people? Michael Moore is an important American political personality because of his work exposing corruption and cronyism in American corporations & the American insurance industry. His movies, while imperfect, have had an enormous impact (for the good, in my opinion) on American politics & culture. Love him or hate him (clearly primarily the latter), no one can deny that he is more than qualified to interview any of the candidates, of either party, currently running for nomination.

The thing about democracy is, if it's going to work, the citizenry needs to not act like a bunch of stupid children, and try to behave like adults when it comes to evaluating and selecting who will best lead us. If this thread is any indication, it's no wonder our government is such a horrible mess. We get the leadership we deserve, I suppose.

Grow up, people.

To Michael Moore:

So if I work hard and become wealthy over my life, then did I make life miserable for people?

If that is the case, should I then go back to my collective and pick potatoes?

cool down, people, this is about running superpower. Not jpolicy, ideaology contest. streight, simple or honesty ... all alone won't work

Jon, Lantana, FL
"Its always so easy for everyone to look back and say that the Iraq war is ill-started and a bad decision for our country. However, at the time the majority of the country was for war in Iraw. Everybody was misled in this endeavour and its easy to look back and say oooohhh he/she voted for the war how wrong. Well if you want to criticize someone for being weak in believing the "intelligence" that was out there then you are calling the MAJORITY of this country dumb."

You want to know the sad thing?
I *DID* oppose the war in Iraq from day one. I thought it was very a bad idea, based on nebulous information. The entire "weapons of mass destruction" threat was a sad joke – and I said so – repeatedly. We already had a war that was DIRECTLY impacting the people who attacked us, in some of the ugliest terrain on Earth. The Soviets – with the juggernaut of an army that made the West quake with fear – couldn't pacify the restive elements in Afghanistan. Why start another war when we had plenty?

But the Republicrats said "listen to the president – he has information we don't." And followed like sheep... I reserve the right to call the majority dumb!

At this point – we could have PAID every single man, woman, and child in Iraq over $15k dollars as a bribe to *NOT* hate us and still come out ahead... But even if we started pulling out troops non-stop – it would STILL take us 9 months to get all our equipment out... And leave an utter and total mess.

Now that we're there – I'd rather see us leave correctly than fast. ah well...

I'm a moderate. I find Michael Moore to be a bloated windbag. He DOES have a good idea or two – but they are buried deeply in a pile of manure. I find most "Conservative" commentators to be just as bad though...

Sadly – this election – the candidate I'd most likely vote for probably won't get the nod. I think Edwards is the right guy – but the media are fixated on Hillary and Obama. Hillary is about as bought and paid for as a politician can get – and Obama – while "looking nice" – is just too inexperienced for the job.

We'll see. I'm ALREADY sick of this election cycle – and we haven't even made it into the primaries yet...

Mike, I love your movies, but stop the Hillary hating.

GO HILLARY 2008!

usa:
Hildabeast! Classic...I love it!

Who is micheal moore?

DIDN'T HE ENDORSED NADER IN 2000?

HILLARY 08!

I get kind of tired of hearing Michael Moore complain about wealthy people and their negative impact on everyone's life. Michael Moore is wealthy and he makes my life miserable every time I see him or hear his manic ravings. The bad part of this whole thing is that by responding to his idiotic views I am stroking his already waaay over indulged ego. If he has such warm fuzzy feelings for Cuba and Ven. maybe he should just go there and make mpovies for the regimes that are in charge.

I generally LIKE Michael Moore. Those who think that Obama can't hold his own against a Republican are going to be mistaken. This country is so accustomed to politics as usual that some people really don't understand the concept of a decent human being becoming President of the US.

Obama is a decent human being, but he's no fool.

Mike is bang-on acurate about Hillary, but his criticism of Obama is weak and definately a stretch. His praise of Edwards seems overly optimistic.

Clinton is the corporate democratic candidate. She's too polarizing as the Democrat Republicans love to hate. She's mediocre at best, and an insincere poll chaser. Not a friend to the working class.

Edwards talks the right talk, but his record is that of the mealy trial lawyer that he is. He's hard to believe.

Obama conviction has the flavor of an honest and sincere man. Polls say he'd beat any Republican challenger. I see him as real, not soft. He has as much experience as bystander Hillary, and his platform makes good sense. Remember his amazing keynote speech at the DNC in 04. Most importantly, I know Republicans that like him, and this country needs to heal.

Obama cleverly framed Clinton's vote as a "vote for the war in Iraq." What she thought she was doing was giving Bush the power needed to end the crisis without the need to go to war. Bill had been President and she had seen the need for a President to have the backing needed to get a job done.

Obama's purported concern is phony - after time for reflection, Obama backed warmongerer Lieberman in the Connecticut primary big time - where was his logic that backing the war disqualifies one from office then? Hypocrite.

Obama is full of the same planless feel good rhetoric that Bush sold and the same crowd is falling for it - the 'independents.'

Otherwise Michael, love your work. MSM had not been telling the truth about how much better the medical care is in other countries even for the middle class.

As to the charge of political correctness - that usually comes from folks for whom it is politically correct not to be politically correct - I call it PCsquared.

"Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical, liberal minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end."

Walt-

Wow, what a deeply astute and insightful thought. Were you on the debate team in high school? Jack Handy, move over, we now have "Deep Thoughts by Walt" supplanting your genius.

Another odious, meaningless sound byte wafting north from Texas. Do you say "Nukeular" as well?

That may be true but Michale Moore alienates....
a lot more people than he attracts and his support is more of a liability than an asset. he is way too prone to embarrass the candidate he supports by his careless and inflammatory rhetoric. Besides his (or Nader's) self-righteousness gets old pretty fast. No one is pure enough for him. Well saints don't normally seek political power.

everything he said was correct. hes right. I mean, if you take it at face value!

That's not really an equivalent to other times we had elections for republicans.
What he's doing is stating who he feels best represents his values and what he feels Democratic core base values are. And I think he's right too. We can do better than Clinton and Edwards to do some REAL needed change! They are more of the corporatist status quo.

My, oh my..The GOPERS are so upset with Michael Moore for actually documenting how ignorant and dispiteful the republican party actually is. Why would a millionaire film maker concern himself with wanting to provide better health care and a health care delivery system? After all, it ranks 24th in world rankings. Not bad for the supposedly #1 country in the world. Let's just run away from the problem for a few more decades until we are past the point of no return, like or medicare system and social security. Why spend money on issues that concern Americans' when we can spend $15B a month in Iraq. Or maybe BUSH can lose another $9B cash in $100 bills in Iraq? Halliburton/KBR have already ripped America off for $ billions, do they need some more of our tax money. It does appear both are screwing a lot more than the taxpayers. Let's just invest in some more ammunition/bombs so we can kill more innocent people. That's seems to be the America way. It's no wonder BUSH wants to further cut the EDU budget, he wants to keep the Republican base. Just in case you nitwits haven't heard, Iraq and it's people had nothing to do with 911and no wmds, etc. have been found. You GOPERS were duped by the BUSH/CHENEY regime.

Brother BIN, the one responsible for 911 is still free at large. He is making more tapes and videos than Brittany Spears. He appears to have a full team of camera men, lighting crews, sound crews and production crews. Must be one helluva cave?

After November 2008, the DEMS will have control not only of both House and Senate by widening margins, but also the presidency. Hopefully this will be another long vacation for the republican congress as in 1954-1994, when the country was at its' best.

Good Riddens

Moore being dishonest. If he's against Hillary for voting to authorize the war, why is he supporting John Edwards who did the same?
Because he apologized? Nonsense! It was John Edwards who told Kerry in 2004, they shouldn't apologize for their vote. The man is a phony!

Barack Obama is a Chicago politician for God's sake – those folks are shrewd and made of steel. Remember the art of war? Never underestimate your enemy.

And for the record…
Hillary's vote to fund military action, at Bush's request, in Iraq was predicated on false information from the White House and other govt. quarters, and she has since firmly stated that she would vote differently had she known then what she knows now.

Randi...for the record since yours glosses over one very important fact. Fact: the NIE estimate a ~55 page document available to ALL Senators prior to the vote to authorize Bush invading Iraq was NOT read by Hillary. If she had read it, she would have learned that the CIA had grave doubts about the WMD argument. This aside, anyone with a shred of good judgment could have easily researched the veracity of claims made by Bush about Iraq being somehow linked to Al-Qaeda and 9/11.

So, ignoring a document rife with doubt and not doing any due diligence leading up to one of the worst foreign policy decisions in our history is grounds for her NEVER to be president. Very, very poor judgment on her part, which for the record she has NEVER had the humility to apologize for.

I'm not excusing the other Democrats who authorized this war, either; however, I'm not going to ignore history and let her off the hook like you apparently seem willing to do.

Truth tellers always are. People who stick to the programmed lies are more predictable. (NT)

That's might white of you, Wayne...............

For months I've been wanting to ask the question, "Where are you, micheal moore?" You can only polish that Oscar for so long... On second thought, would you even be willing to utter the words, "I absolutely believe to my soul that this corporate greed and corporate power has an ironclad hold on our democracy?"
I am voting for Obama,stop double talk, micheal!

And yet, I am sad to say, nothing has disappointed me more than the disastrous, premeditated vote by Senator Hillary Clinton to send us to war in Iraq... I have not even touched on her other numerous - and horrendous - votes in the Senate...
I want a president who is not afraid to say 'it is wrong' from the get go and no going around!

So M. Moore...who do you support?

Or are you just going to blow off at the mouth for the press–and not make a stand?

This man has done some good. His films have shown some of the lingering questions we've had over negligence of the American virtue: in politics, business, and healthcare.

As leading edge as he is-I cannot believe he still remains undecided.

Despite the "bad hair" joke, there is only one man who demostrates the will and promises to place "the majority of Americans" at the table every day in Washington. A man who will challenge the status qou which has mired the democratic process for over 30 years. A man who is determined to return to loftier principles of managing our workforce–than cutting wages, jobs, benefits in the name of profit. Who has the will to insist on fairer trade deals–which will be competitive but not place American workers at grievous disadvantage to compete.

Michael Moore is a joke. If he hasn't made up his mind by now, he really is as stupid and ignorant as the GOP makes out that he is. If he is smart–he will get on board.
John Edwards is the man to begin a reform of Washington politics beginning at the White House–and spreading throughout the world. That if you want to do business with us–you must be accountable for living up to the same standards of democracy, worker protection, employee health, and labor law, environmnetal law, and fair pay that our own nation mandates of its business entities.

Micheal , I wonder if anyone would be perfect enough for you? If Bernie Sanders, Dennis Kucinich, and Paul Wellstone (RIP) were the top three contenders in the race for the Democratic nomination, would you trash them with equal vigor? It seems to me you believe the mark of "true" progressive is to trash anyone not as pure as you.

I am a republican voting for Obama for many reasons.

C'mon, Mike! I enjoy your movies and I respect your decision not to endorse anyone...but you have to be kidding when you say "Twice before, we have begun the process to stop this man (Bush.)" Your decision to endorse someone in 2000 contributed to this mess.

Go Obama!

We welcome your comments micheal moore. However, we will NOT tolerate personal attacks of any kind here. Due to some unfortunate incidents, we now have a zero tolerance policy for personal attacks. If you use these comments to launch a personal attack, you will be banned without notice or appeal. If you disagree with this policy, we suggest you exercise your first ammendment rights and get your own campaign!

Michael Moore had better skip a few meals before telling the rest of us how to live our lives.

I have always been intrigued how a man worth about 100,000,000 has persuaded the down trodden of America that he is their savior. Moore has not set up a Moore Foundation like Ford or Rockefeller or Gates. If things go as planned, he should bank at least 50 million this last movie SICKO that has no sex, violence or car chases in it.

When he talks America listens and about 60% of them hate his guts. Huckabee in attacking Moore's physique could not have selected a better straw man to immolate. The Arkansas tooth pick, sorry Mr. Bowie, must have studied with Charles Schumer whose war with the NRA catapulted him into the senate.

It is a clear choice between the two media chasers, Huckabee or Moore, about as clear a difference as a carbuncle and a boil. Is bashing Michael Moore the new way to get bonafide GOP credentials?

I love it! Someone(s) has to start defending us from the corporate bullies! Supporting Michael Moore is certainly a good start!

Go Hillary 08 http://www.hillaryis44.com/

Michael Moore has really convinced me that he is indeed a lousy idiot.
Do we all have to listen to someone who sometime talks like one in need of care?
He is right though about Obama. Most of my Republican colleagues and friends are hoping the ticket is given to him so that their job will be half done.
As to the polls, please forget the pairing of Obama against the Republican guys, Obama will lose woefully against them.

Jon of Lantana, FL, the majority of Americans ARE dumb. The truth of the matter (WMD's in Iraq) was plain. Either you believed that the UN inspectors had done their job competently, or you believed our President, who had been chewing at the bit for war in Iraq even before 9-11. In order to salvate their freedom, Americans should be cynical of their leaders. Otherwise, goose-step right behind them and follow them into perdition.

These posts are a very clear demonstration of "the politics of personal destruction". Michael Moore has as much right as anyone to state his opinion. (I actually respect his opinion because he thinks about things more deeply than most, whether I agree with him or not.) The fact that you disagree with his opinion is not justification for attacking him personally. Yes, democrats are not as "down and dirty" as republicans. They prefer not to resort to such ruthless and nasty tactics. I just wish this was a different world, where respect and reason had more effect than ruthless and nasty. Unfortunately that is not the case.

Just like he thinks his message is like the passion of christ, the time has come and gone for him to make such kind of key strokes! people right now are voting to whoever they think is right. People are more educated than ever and are making their personal decisions, Not when moron like this make comments that are two way sided.

Walt, Belton, TX January 2, 2008 1:16 pm ET

Michael Moore epitomizes "Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical, liberal minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end."

Which is better than VOTING for turds, which you RepubliKKKans keep doing.....

I just had a great idea! Someone needs to do a live action Family Guy. I know who I would cast as Peter, the father!

This is not good news. The GOP needs Clinton to be the nominee. They will beat that duplicitous bag like a drum.

This drum beating will only begin once she is the nominee. In politics you always keep your powder dry until needed. And she's adding to the ammunition daily. For example, recently she's been speaking about all her experience in settling the "troubles" in Ireland during her husband's administration. Trouble is there are two books out that speak extensively about the Clinton administration's role there and the best that is written about her is tea with the ladies while Bill drove the negotiations (she still has the teapot they gave her).

Obviously these books were written by her enemies. You tell me: The authors? Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton.

Producer of SICKO can do better than condemn Hillary for the Iraq Vote of 2003 AD.

Go Hillary 08 http://www.hillaryis44.com/

"He also said Wednesday he was unhappy with her for not agreeing to speak with him for a Rolling Stone article earlier this year."

So...did that happen yesterday? Or did it happen in 2007?

Sorry if that's nitpicking too much, but I cannot stand when the major news outlets make these sorts of minor yet very simple mistakes. It displays a level of either carelessness or sloppiness that shakes my faith in the media as a whole. It's not a high school paper, it's CNN. Get it right.

Barack Obama survived just fine in Illinois where politics is a blood sport. He is more of a man than the current occupant of the White House – and the one before him for that matter – could ever hope to be.

Who still listens to micheal moore a republican democrat. I bet noone!

Michael Moore has incredible smarts and has been recognized internationally as an amazing documentarian (despite the venom that the right wing wants to spew at him).

That having been said, however, he has been effectively labeled as a bit of a wing-nut, serving as Hollywood's equivalent to Dennis Kucinich. I love them both, but regard them as having about the same level influence on either public sentiment or actual votes these days.

Nothing like a left wing lightening rod spouting criticism to really give Hillary a boost!

These are the guys that think we follow what they say then we get screwed the rest of our lives with whoever becomes the president.
This time is not gonna happen. I refuse with my vote and will vote for the right person!

I have a problem with micheal moore comments because they seem double talk to me....I don't think he is honest and I don't think Hillary is either. I am looking for an honest person this time around and I will settle with Barack!

Bob K,
Get a clue. I would also have the same to say about Bush since it took years before there was a change in strategy in Iraq. Also believing in letting the free market sort out issues like Healthcare doesn't in the least bit make me a Republican. I consider myself a Jeffersonian but you wouldn't understand that because the playbook that your reading doesn't teach independent thought and study. You might do yourself some good by reading some of what the founding fathers wrote before you label someone whose views are not your own a Republican. Some of us actually take the time to study out the writings of those who founded this country instead of letting a political party dictate our thoughts for us.

Anyways my analysis of Michael Moore is dead on. As usual the truth about most of the topics he shoots "documentares" on is to the right of what he believes and the left of what the extreme right believes.

Micheal Moore is having a point that Obama has a big heart that every American will fit in when we get home after our busy day and will be comfortable with him in our sitting room TV sets.
I would love that to happen this time around where I have lost hope with my goverment. I just don't trust hillary and I don't think I would vote for her leave alone standing her every evening!!

I am a student and head of student board. Students here in chicago are sick and tired of being told this and that and what will happen. I am voting this time for the first time. I believe Obama will change how the education system works in this country with student fees skyrocketing. I checked his healthcare plan and is what I would want compared to other candidates. I love John Edwards but I think he is in the hands of cooperate lawyers. However, I think he will make a good vice president.
Obama all the way!

Michael Moore epitomizes "Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical, liberal minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end."

sorry moore,
Voting Hillary is like voting for Bush republicans third term in the white house and I don't think that is going to happen. Not on my watch!

I am not ready for another fear politics and micheal moore seem good at this. I am not ready to be intimidated for no good reason!!
Go Obama!

Hillary Clinton has a better chance of winning the general election than the other Democratic candidates. The other Democrat’s constant bickering about her vote for the war in Iraq is the only thing that is raising skeptic eyebrows. We, as Americans, should not be sleeping with the past. We know that Hillary is ready to lead on day one. We know that Hillary has the clever chameleon. We know that Hillary will stand for all Americans. We want our country back from the right wingers. The other Democrats need to save their know-it-all, egghead, rhetoric for some other time. We can’t afford to deal with them.

We need to forget about these egghead candidates who sell bridges. Hillary Clinton has listened to the American people and the American people know very well that she will not make stupid mistakes. While she has run a sound campaign the other candidates have been aiding and abetting the Republicans with fire power that the Republican will use in the public opinion arena. I have no doubt in my mind that Hillary Clinton will not only make sound policies, but she will save Democratic seats in the House and the Senate. The other candidates don’t care about how the public perceives the Democrats because the other candidates are only in this race for their own egos.

Sorry moore. There is no better time for Obama than this time around. I wouldn't agree with you on this one. There is no one, I mean no one republican that can outweigh Obama on this race. If I may think of one may be Mitt Romney, which republicans themselves don't want because of his religion. More over, who want a republican in the white house again. You talk and double talk is useless no matter how credential they seem.
I am a life long republican voting for Obama. Go figure!

Hey democrats bottom line is do you want to win the general election or just "hope" for it and dream for the right heart and empty one liners with no substance or experience. Mr Moor is right on one point you can dream and hope for this not to happen republicans will have Barack Hussein obama for breakfast and you can hand over the white house and the Supreme court to the republicans on a silver platter.

Dave; very good job! I see that you were able to respond using official response: "#737" AND "#689" right out of the RNC playbook.

Please come back when you have an original thought of your own.

Looks like Karl Rove is back......just thinking....

Talk of double speak. What is he trying to remind us that we don't understand upto now. Go to hell Moore and more!

I am a die hard Democrat and proud of it. But Moore is right. At the last minute, I am sure 90% that the Democrats will find some imaginative way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory in 11/2008.

Moore? Not him again. Is there anyone that takes this loser seriously?
Moore : 'there is no terrorist threat', need I say more. Moore needs to get in touch with reality. And my comment has nothing to do with being for or against Clinton either.

At this particular point in time, we could elect the three stooges and they could at least do as good a job as our current President. Everything is wrong in the U.S. we need someone, anyone, to get into office before he bankrupts our country and gets us into another war with someone, It doesn't seem to make anydifference withe who. I am not sure we will survive another year with him in power. God protect us!!!

Sad to say but, I'm inclined to agree with Mr. M., especially the part about Dems finding a way to lose. They just haven't learned to be as down and dirty as Repubs and therein is the problem (and how I hate "down and dirty," but it's the reality now). I agree, also, about John Edwards – he's tough and he'll be happy to take on the entrenched interests. I believe the Repubs are most afraid of him – they know that Mrs. Clinton and Obama will be easy pickens. I'll vote for whomever the Dem nominee is, but I refuse to have my heart broken by them(Dems) ever again.

"I get the sense that, if elected, the Republicans will eat him for breakfast."

From the looks of him, I get a sense that Michael Moore may have already eaten him for breakfast.

I don't usually agree with Michael Moore but he has some valid points. If all the Democratic party has to offer as their top 3 being HillBillary Clinton, Boy wonder Barack Hussein Obama and John I think I can, I think I can, Edwards who's train has already left the station then that only leaves a Republican to vote for. Sorry folks, Each of these three have had their chance at Crafting the future of America and like all poor craftsmen they blame their tools or someone else rather then themselves for their failure. It is always someone else's fault. I would never vote for someone who will not accept responsibility for their own actions especially when they effect everyone else.

Forget the hair– so he's a bit of a priss. But what other lawyer-candidate has effectively kicked butt on corporate America?

Michael Moore for Prez! Now that would get the Repubs fuming.

Michael is right about Obama having a big heart, but we have to also look at what these candidates have done that shows leadership. Obama doesn't have decision-making experience to be President. That's why Senators make the worst Presidents.

Who really cares a hoot what Moore thinks? Nobody! The man has no credentials for holding himself out for anything but a voraciously negative man. He will do anything to become a kingmaker, but alas, all he can do is become a the tragic comedy.

Anyone he supports will surely lose voters just because Moore is behind them.

You heard it here!

Hillary benefits from criticism by Michael Moore! Thanks Michael!!

Is this news? Really, is anyone surprised he attacks Hillary because she refused him an interview? You take yourself too seriously, Mr. Moore.

And for the record...
Hillary's vote to fund military action, at Bush's request, in Iraq was predicated on false information from the White House and other govt. quarters, and she has since firmly stated that she would vote differently had she known then what she knows now.

Contrasted with Obama's "vote" on Iraq, which....oh yeah let's remember....was NOT a vote because he was not a member of Congress when the information was presented and discussed by Congress. Last time I checked, state senators in Illinois don't have standing as a US congressperson.

Anyway, given your good work on health care, Mr. Moore, I'm surprised you're against Hillary. She has the best plan to tackle this critical problem that millions of Americans face, as you've pointed out.

Does anyone really care what this far left buffoon thinks? We should exile him to Venezuela or Iran so he could live with his like minded friends. Michael Moore hates America and does everything he can to disparage America and tear it down. If the Democratic party wants to highllight him at their 2008 convention this lifelong Democrat will be voting for whatever nominee the Republicans put up!

Why are all of these movie people getting involved in politics? They all need to stay in the world of fantasy that they live in. besides when you pay someone 25 million to act in a movie and you do it several times a year, How can these people even guess what it feels like to be hungry, to not be able to afford gas for your car, buy a few extra groceries so you can actually have 3 meals a day. My wife and I live on $ 1100. a month, that has to pay for rent, utilities. food, cloths, and gas for our car. I guess if all of these film makers keep their image in the news it makes money for them. The American people can't get thier opinions on Cnn but Oliver Stone and micheal Moore can sure do it, then all they say is –Well– NOTHING!!!!!!!

Republicans, learn. It takes a courageous and intelligent man to look at the flaws of his own predilection. However, republicans have learned that cheap, sophomoric rethoric sells better.

This is true and I am sad.

Moore is an idiot but he is right on this. If the Democrats were smart they would put more backing into Richardson, Biden and Dodd. Those three men have the most experience to lead the country but no they will back Hillary who is only in her 2nd term, Obama who is only in his 3rd year in the Senate and Edwards who didnt even get reelected.

Noticed how the extreme right wingers Tancredo (who has droped out), Hunter, and Keys get very little support nationally? Because the Republicans know that no extremist can get elected even if all the idiots that make up the backwater south voted on election day it wouldnt help. Rudy keeps hammering experience in his speechs he will easly crush Obama, Edwards and Hillary. If he were put up against Dodd, Richardson or Biden it would be more of a close race.

Plus if Hillary gets the nomination guess who else will enter the race? Ralph Nader has said that Hillary is a pander and will enter the race if she gets the nod. As History shows Nader takes votes away from Democrats. There is also the posbility of Mike Bloomberg running as well.

What a loser! Michael Moore cares about no one but Michael Moore. He is a unabashed self promoter who looks to get attention by doing or saying anything.

As an Independet (former Democrat) I can tell you that Michael Moore has done more to help the Dems lose the last two elections than any other individual. He is convinced, as are most people on the extremes (right and left) that he knows the absolute truth and the way forward for the country and the world. This alone is not the problem, but rather that just like religious extremists, he mocks, demeans and demonizes anyone who does not accept 100% of his views. He is on a campaign to "convert" the rest of us to his views.

When you look at it, there is not that much of a difference between Michael Moore and Pat Robertson; just they have different targets.

It is time that Americans realize that we share a country with many people who will not always agree with us on every issue and that the way to govern and advance the interests of the vast majority of Americans is by concensus and post-partisanship.

I hope nobody listens to this man on whom to vote for.

I love Michael Moore.

Its always so easy for everyone to look back and say that the Iraq war is ill-started and a bad decision for our country. However, at the time the majority of the country was for war in Iraw. Everybody was misled in this endeavour and its easy to look back and say oooohhh he/she voted for the war how wrong. Well if you want to criticize someone for being weak in believing the "intelligence" that was out there then you are calling the MAJORITY of this country dumb.

Mr Moore as usual is a joke. He talks about Clinton being misled and then leaves out the fact that he has no problem being misleading with his "documentaries" which are no more then videos complete with his biased view on any given issue.

Also to think that he has any more right to talk to Clinton for an article in Rolling stone is absurd. He is a leader of nothing and is just a big old windbag too demented to see anyone elses view as being right if it isn't his own.

Of course this sorry sap loves Edwards because Edwards represents his hope of Cuban like healthcare and other socialistic views that Moore holds so dear.

Thank God he didn't endorse Obama. That would be a "negative endorsement" for sure.

OK, we've heard from Nader. We've heard from Moore.

Any other MOONBATS out there?

Moore's comments about Barack Obama and the Republicans eating him alive completely disregard how he was polled to defeat each Republican in an election.

Barack Obama is not too soft, this man has charisma to take on whoever necessary. Obama is much of a scholar in addition to his personality and has always had the correct judgement and foresight to put America in the right direction.

I generally abhor Michael Moore, but for once, we share common ground with regard to the Hildabeast!
