Hollywood Tanks at the Polls
Canada Free Press ^ | November 4, 2004 | Nathan Tabor

During this campaign cycle we have seen many actors stick their surgically altered noses into the political ring, making their voices heard and trying to sway voters. I must admit I have enjoyed many of these actors’ movies in the past; however, I am ecstatic to see the door slammed in their face.

Many of these actors need to keep their day jobs! If they want to change the system they need to run for office. There is one fundamental point that these folks need to bear in mind while protesting President Bush and the War on Terror: they have the right to say these things because soldiers have given them this freedom. . . . .

I didn't say this. I only posted the story by Nathan@nathantabor.com

Ask him what he meant.

I actually think actors should keep their opinions private because being actors, I believe they trivialize politics and the elections when they try to use their popularity to sway public opinion.

You mean all those actors working in projects outsourced from Hollywood because of the tax situation?

Hollywood has been selling its product to the Blue states for years. They make a lot of money. Just think that in addition to movies for the Blues they made movies for the Reds! Might the studios make even more money? Duh!?!.

I like the article and I love picturing Martin Sheen and Al Franken blubbering with frustration at the way the voters rejected their smugness.
