However, that won't keep the Hollywood PC-crowd of liberals and gays from voting it an Oscar just to give the finger to the rest of the country.

Hey, the movie industry has already noted several Left-leaning movies aren't making they money they should be. If there is anything Hollywood worships above all else it's making money and when the studios and movie theater owners don't make a profit that's when the studio heads will start to realize that the average American moviegoer wants a movie that entertains and not preaches the Leftist line. Ask Natalie Maines what happened to the Dixie Chicks when her remarks about President Bush effectively destroyed the success of that group....

The studio heads used to know that, know it now, and will continue to know it. Hasn't made a damned bit of difference so far. There have been an increasing number of liberal/left wing movies released over the past six years or so. And they continue to be released.

I don't need to ask Natalie anything. I am quite familiar with what happened to the Dixie Chicks. After suffering the initial smackdown, these twits have come back a bit, claiming their "crossover" strategy is working ("we were never only about Nashville"), and some of the radio stations which banned them have returned them to the playlists. As far as I'm concerned, I wish them nothing but failure.
