But Mel, being a conservative Catholic, would not support a pro-abort candidate, would he?
To: sonsofliberty2000
Both Mel and I are big Pat J Buchanan fans.
We're all pro-tariff, anti-war, and anti-immigration.
We're paleocons and we like it. We're all also incredibly good looking.
Go! Mel Go! Go! Me Go! Go! Pat Go!

Well I liked his movie, but with this comment I am now having doubts about Mel Gibson. Yep. I thought the majority of the country understood September 11th. If Mel Gibson is able to sow the seeds of doubt and betrayal in enough minds we are not that far from the Spanish outcome. I'm am aghast at the betrayal.

LMAO! I nominate you to be the useful idiots French Poodle moderator. LOL!
Ouch, Sprite518! Actually, Laz is no French Poodle moderator at all...unless he wants to be! <8^)
Kidding aside, and this is to anyone, what exactly is a neocon? My handy Dictionary of American Conservatism (Louis Filler) lists Jeane Kirkpatrick as one. That's good enough for me but is there a pithy definition? Buellar?

I wouldn't exactly call it betrayal. I would call it stupidity on Mel Gibson's part.
I just saw his movie and loved it, but if he is so dumb as to blame Bush for believing Saddam was a threat then he should stay out of politics.
Nearly all the world, the UN and even those country's opposed to an Iraq attack agreed with Bush on WMDs. Mel Gibson is way off track on this.

I have doubts about Bush too.
But I have absolutely no doubt about Kerry.
I'll vote for Bush and hope someday a real conservative will come along.

Boy, if Mel thought he had problems with Abe Foxman and the ADL, just let him try to criticize the neocon messiah. Some of us know the meaning of the words Duty, Honor, Country
President Bush is not our messiah but he has earned our respect. When duty called he was there.

I really liked LOTR but Viggo Mortensen's foolish nonsense outside the film diminished his standing with me, but he is not an American. We were attacked on September 11th. We still don't know about the Anthrax. The public still does not know why Libya came out of the cold after spending so much money on nuclear materials. We are in a real war. It is unconscionable for any American to betray us at this time.
To: B Knotts
Well, I think he is too closely handled at times, and doesn't get to show who he really is. I think he needs to trust his own instincts a bit more, and Karl Rove's...a little less.
Could be, B Knotts. Remember one reason Dole lost. He was a 'mean old man' and Darth Vader, etc. After the election, when he was speaking in his own voice and was no longer being "handled," people saw the real Bob Dole - and some who didn't care for him during the campaign even found they liked him!

I wouldn't exactly call it betrayal.It is a betrayal. Bush is a patriot, honest, conscientous, an Evangelical Christian, antiabortion, pro death penalty, not a bigot in any way, shape, or form. It is a dangerous betrayal in a close election. We can only hope the millions who see the movie won't listen to Gibson. Otherwise we get Kerry and go the way of Spain.
To: hummingbird
Exactly!
To: smith288
You are missing my point. He has said these things...though he says these things in front of Diane Sawyer and Meet the Press where his answer get washed over. Im talking oval office tv timeout. Explain his position and the fact just before American Idol where morons are waiting for Simon Cowell will get to hear Bush with the truths to the matter that I listed.
You do have a point about him getting "washed over." I'm hoping he's following his runner's instincts and is just pacing himself.

Where did Gibson actually advocate we go the way of Spain? He doesn't have to actually advocate it. He simply has to voice enough doubts about Bush to affect the election. This could be very close. I don't recall Mel Gibson speaking out against Bill Clinton all those years he was supposed to be on his knees in prayer. Why now ? Why against Bush ? It is reckless. There has to be a reason.
To: fraidycat
That's not going to be easy, particularly since we've been on the defensive for so many years.
No flame on this one, fraidycat.
Defense....bad.
Offense....good.
We need to "play" smarter, not harder.

Drudge spins the news a bit lately... I'll wait to see exactly what Gibson meant before forming any opinions.

Show me exactly what Gibson has said against Bush. I want to see it.
