Christopher Walken

[raysr]

for President? Why not? http://www.walkenforpres.com/
"Our great country is in a terrible downward spiral. We're outsourcing jobs, bankrupting social security, and losing lives at war. We need to focus on what's important-- paying attention to our children, our citizens, our future. We need to think about improving our failing educational system, making better use of our resources, and helping to promote a stable, safe, and tolerant global society. It's time to be smart about our politics. It's time to get America back on track."

1. How about someone with a snowball's chance?

:shrug:

[Carolab]

7. Arnold won. So did Jesse. People LIKE celebrities.

What about RON REAGAN?????

[madeline_con]

8. Walken's the wrong "kind" of celeb....

he's too darn wierd for some people.

Is he a veteran?

[Carolab]

9. And Bush ISN'T weird? WTF? n/t

[madeline_con]

12. I wasn't talking about Bush.

I thought Dems wanted to win. Or are we just trying to see if we can piss off the RWer for a few minutes??

[Swamp Rat]

16. In the movies

Like John Wayne. :eyes:

What about Dennis Hopper? Wouldn't he be a better choice, based on weirdness and apparent insanity? ... "baby wants to f... Iran! PASS THE NITROUS DAMMIT!" Either actor as prez is sure to make Kim Jong Il jealous! :D

[Dervill Crow]

18. So he's weird.

He's a better actor than Reagan and undoubtedly smarter than Ah-nuld. I'd love to hear what he has to say. And yeah, if he pisses off the RWers I'm all for that, too.

:popcorn:

Chris Walken mopping up the floor with Jebbie in a debate. My heart's all aflutter just thinking about it, even though I'm not at all certain that this website isn't just a joke to see just how far people will go to try to get away from the BFEE.

15. I love Ron

I don't know if he's interested in that though. :shrug: He and Rachael Maddow should have their own show on MSNBC. I want one liberal show! AH!

[Dervill Crow]

19. I'd vote for Ron in a minute, but I don't think he's interested.

He's awesome. What happened to him doing the Eukanuba Dog Shows? Did he lose that gig because of his outspokenness against *?

(Sorry I'm showing my ignorance here . . . I pretty much only watch Animal Planet and The Daily Show, so if it isn't there or on DU I don't know about it.)

[Carolab]

20. I meant Ron SENIOR (past prez), he was an actor you know.

Hated him but love Ron Jr.

[Dervill Crow]

22. Hmm. I wouldn't really call him an actor, even if he was SAG prez.

I never thought of him as Ron, either, for some reason. Only Ronnie or Raygun.

Too bad the Christopher Walken campaign has been debunked. It really would be fun to watch.

[Carolab]

23. Still, he WAS an actor. Here's his filmography.

[Dervill Crow]

24. Duh. I've seen King's Row and Bedtime for Bonzo.

I meant he was a LOUSY actor. My HS Thespian Club did much better.

On edit: Guess I need to learn to use the :sarcasm: icon. Thought my meaning was obvious but apparently not. Would I know he was president of the Screen Actors Guild if I didn't know he was an actor?

[Carolab]

25. Oh...I see.

Yes, he certainly was a lousy actor, so in that sense he wasn't an actor at all.

Sorry, thought you might have been really young or something and didn't know about his so-called career.

2. More cowbells!

I've got a fever ... and the only cure is President Walken!

[KnaveRupe]

5. Great minds think alike, apparently! (nt)

[Borgnine]

6. More cowbell, less bullshit.

It's a winning campaign slogan.

[KnaveRupe]

3. America has a fever -

- and the only prescription is MORE COWBELL!

[Boomer]

4. So why can't the DNC do that?

One paragraph, no big words, no marketing spin or focus group adjustments, just a commitment to the greater good.

It's early days yet, but unless some Democratic steps up to the plate with a better speech, Walken has my vote.

[Moochy]

10. Walken in a Winter Wonderland!

[GarySeven]

11. What Walken would say to a Rush Limbaugh:

"You would need three promotions to get to be an asshole."

[getmeouttahere]

13. Great flick....and potentially a great candidate....

but I need to see more, like a platform.

[GreenPartyVoter]

14. Been debunked already.

[Lex]

17. Lots of existing DU threads on it too.

Just fyi.

21. I was thinking of a Robin Williams and George Carlin ticket.
