Parker and Stone with "Team America."
Both. Mel Gibson inspired a lot of people of faith, who got out to cast a vote for W, and against MM.
swiftvets!!!!!!!
None of the above. This election went to Bush because of gay marriage.
I agree, but I think Michael Moore had a big influence... in turning out Republicans. He galvanized us much more than he united his sicko fanatics.
mel gibson by far, good observation.
Moore did. He alone probably drove a million or more voters to the GOP.
Michael Moore preached to the leftist choir. The only diference he made was making his own bank account bigger.
I think they both spoke to their respective chorus mostly. Moore probably changed a few minds, but not many. Gibson film, whereas a powerful religious message, probably did not help Bush.
Kerry's biggest mistake was his negative comments on the blockbuster Passion movie. Kerry said that he was "unsure" about it (Reuters, "Democrat Kerry Urges Caution On 'Passion,' 26 February 2004, by Patricia Wilson). "I don't know," Kerry said when asked if he would see the Mel Gibson film Christians flocked to see.
As a presidential candidate, Kerry's comments are loaded with meaning for the future of America. Kerry's ill-conceived remarks are an unspoken message to believers that Kerry will strengthen secularists power over believers. Kerry's comments are an elitist attack on believers.
Kerry praised foul-mouthed Whoppi Goldberg and went to Hollywood for votes and donations. It's clear Kerry, Hollyweirdos and Dumbocrats are in league against believers, and stand for everything Christians abhor: They worship abortion, the homosexual agenda, and the stripping away of every Christian symbol in America.
By bashing The Passion, Kerry is pandering to Hollywood secularists. In return, Kerry assures religious-hating Hollywood that a Kerry presidency will strengthen Hollywood's chokehold on American culture.
Candidates igonore Christians concerns at their peril. Kerry's comments and his positions on social issues must reach every Christian pastor, church, and group in America. These are the things Christian voters should talk about:
(1) Kerry's comments about The Passion have effectively disqualified him from holding the highest office in Christian America.
(2) Transparently anti-religious candidates do not deserve Christian votes.
(3) Candidates carrying Bibles and going to church (the Clintons) but who vote against everything Christians believe in will not fool Christians.
(4) Protecting the unborn, the sacredness of marriage, and restoring Christian symbols in American culture are very important matters believers want addressed.
Kerry kneels in obeisance to the small cadre of Hollywarped Christian haters who despise everything Christians stand for.
The future of America depends on putting into office the candidate who supports a Christian-based culture.
Michael Moore, and I despise him for putting out that treasonous propaganda. Mel Gibson wouldn't even say if he was going to vote for President Bush. I thought that was weak and pathetic.
I would have to give them both credit. Mel Gibson for showing us how faith can encourage us to overcome any hardship that comes our way. Michael Moore for giving us the disire go out and vote just to have the pleasure of proving that fat bastard wrong.

I saw an earlier thread that talked about "The Mother Angelica" vote. That is a big part of what won it.
Americans saw Kerry as the baby butcher he is (embryo cloning for stem cells, abortion).
I don't think Mel affected anything. Other than it is nice to have a moral, family man in Hollywood.
Definitely "The Passion of the Christ" stirred people more than anything else this year.
It swept the nation.
Sweet, delicious irony.
I vote for Michael Moore. His brand of hate-speech may well have driven millions of voters to Bush. People saw right through his brand of propaganda and his cheap trashy little movie will soon end up in the trash bin, whereas Bush won the largest popular vote in history.
