Costner urges Iowans to consider sowing seeds for Buttigieg rise
Radio Iowa ^ | BY O. KAY HENDERSON | DECEMBER 22, 2019

The actor who starred in a classic baseball movie based in Iowa came to the state this weekend to make a political pitch.

“I did not fly out here to tell you what to do or who to vote for. I came out to tell you who I’m voting for,” Kevin Costner, standing on stage at a Pete Buttigieg event in Indianola, Iowa, early Sunday afternoon, said at the start.

He only indirectly mentioned the “Field of Dreams” — the hit 1989 movie that was filmed in the Dyersville and Dubuque areas in 1988.

“This has been a really sweet place for me, this state.” Costner said before telling the crowd of more than 1200 that he’s a registered independent.

“Neither party owns my vote. They don’t get it automatically,” Costner said, to applause.

Costner said we have become a nation in “perpetual crisis” and after endorsing Barack Obama in 2008, he’s returned to the political stage to publicly back a White House hopeful.

“Moral courage speaks with a certain clarity,” Costner said. “…It’s our job to listen and not get fooled.”

Costner never mentioned President Trump by name during his 12-minute speech. Costner didn’t say the last name of the candidate he endorsed, either, merely referring to him as “Pete.”

“He won’t compete to be the loudest. I won’t see his arms flapping,” Costner said and murmurs rose from the crowd, “…and he doesn’t have to yell.”

AUDIO of Costner’s appearance, 14:00

Costner closed by saying Americans get a chance to “hold the course” or “demand something better” every four years.

Kevin, Kevin, Kevin! That phony can’t even run a small Midwest city effectively much less the most powerful country in the world. Why are you cheapening your brand over a phony?

He’s claiming he’s an independent, but voted for Obama and now Pete. Sounds like a dem to me.

Yeah, right Costner-— “spatter the dew from all or your lilies” Shake it, don’t break it. “Relax, don’t do it when you want to get to it..... when you wanta..........etc”.

What a boring actor and an a@@hole at the same time. Not even believable as a gun fighter. Where do they come from. Duvall on the other extreme.... a genius- for life, living and Tango!

Oh noes! He touched a known homosexual? Can we expect Costner’s coming out of closet?

There’s no such thing as a ‘registered independent’. I am registered as ‘unaffiliated’, there is no ‘independent’.

The corollary is “Politicians are stupid and should stay out of politics.”

I’ll never get what people saw in that movie. The dumbest baseball movie ever made. It stunk.

Compared to this, “Field of Dreams” was Shakespearean.

Costner is such a massive disappointment. Now he endorses a faggot?
