hmmm.
His anti-war stance isn't the reason Worst Wing's ratings are down. It's because the show's jumped the shark. Sorkin fired all the GOP consultants and started taking it hard left, gernally making it more preachy and less fun to watch. Thus, people stop watching.
Its ratings were already dropping - better to play the martyr and blame your failure on your righteous stand against the war than to admit you're losing touch with the people.......
Top 20 Primetime network shows last week.... West Wing is MIA

I am definately taking note of what actors have been spewing anti-American nonsense and avoiding their work and the products they promote in commercials.
I won't be watching and I will buy another brand. Aint much, but it's what I can do.
Too late for NBC to be worried, Sheen is their downfall ticket. We did not watch their fantasy program before, we'll make sure we don't consume any of their fetid products.
I just emailed a complaint to NBC about Sheen's stance--lets all add some fuel to the fire.
He really thinks he has that kind of power? Does anyone really care what Martin Sheen thinks? He's an actor, not a statesman. (YOU JUST PLAY THE PRESIDENT ON TV, YOU DON'T REALLY HAVE THAT KIND OF INFLUENCE. Sorry to burst your bubble, guy.)
