A Democratic celebrity to challenge Ah-nulld - How 'bout Jack Nicholson?

[ElementaryPenguin]

Perhaps what we Dem Californians really need is our own celeb/movie star attack! How about a grassroots "Jack Attack" started right here and now. When you're up against the cheating Repukes, sometimes you've really gotta fight fire with fire (how un-Daschle-like)!! If JACK isn't in the mood to stomp the ridiculous Ah-nulld, here's a short list of other prominent actors that could also do the job. There's certainly no shortage of Democrats in Hollywood.

Tom Hanks
Robert DeNiro
Robin Williams
Kevin Costner
Paul Newman
Tom Cruise

1. Is Jack a Dem?

I had never heard that

[ElementaryPenguin]

2. Most definitely!! And very active in raising/contributing money to Dems!

eom

[gWbush is Mabus]

15. .

I would be perfectly happy with Arianna Huffington.

[ElementaryPenguin]

19. I love Arianna...

But will celeb loving/ignorant 'Muricans in Calif. choose an intellectual woman over a dumb fucking movie star/jock?? I'm not sure they would. (in fact, I'm rather fearful that they won't!!)

[xequals]

31. not a fan of Arianna

This is probably not fair, but for me, Arianna epitomizes the stereotypical elitist liberal flake. That name, accent and wealth doesn't help either. She annoys me, but that just me.

I really like Loretta Sanchez, a smart woman who knows government and is in touch with average people.

[Clete]

3. Jack is a wonderful actor,

but he is really crazy. Why not Nick Nolte, while you are at it? Actors shouldn't run for office because they can act. They need better credentials to get on the ballot as far as I am concerned.

[ElementaryPenguin]

6. At least he's a wonderful actor. Ah-nulled is a shitty actor and a Repuke

It's totally fucking ridiculous, but perhaps we have to resort to Repuke gimmicks! Or would you rather have Ah-Nulld Repuke Gov of California, helping Bush/Rove carry/steal California??

[Clete]

8. If Loretta Sanchez throws herself in,

there is a huge Hispanic vote there that Ahnold doesn't have. I don't know what vote Ahnold has to tell the truth.

[ElementaryPenguin]

11. Good point. And I don't think women in general will be suckered into

voting for a fucking joke!

[Demobrat]

21. Ahnold has the same vote W has.

Ignorant white males.

[ElementaryPenguin]

22. Precisely!!

eom

[robbedvoter]

4. I want Luke Skywalker! Or the Hulk! Or mebbe Superman

Whatsa matter with you guys? Lost it too?

[ElementaryPenguin]

9. I'd take Bugs Bunny over Ah-nulld the Repuke!!

Bugs is a helluva lot more articulate, as far as I know, never used steroids, and his father was NOT a major Austrian Nazi!!

[robbedvoter]

29. My point: why lower the level of discourse with such a thread?

This is not ET - it's DU - and it's about California's fate.

[Cha]

35. Even, though, I don't live in Cal anymore ..I 'll take Larry Flynt

over arnie the steroid.

[ewagner]

5. Martin Sheen?

"I'm not really the President, but I play one on TV..."

[ElementaryPenguin]

7. Sheen would be fantastic!

He might do it.

[Greyskye]

10. Barf

:puke:

Let's not put forward unqualified Democrat candidates merely for the sake of holding a popularity contest with unqualified Republican candidates!

I mean, come on, what's someone like Costner going to do, bore his opponents to death?

[Michael Daniels]

13. Thank You!!!

That says it all.

Sorry, but if the state of California is so fu*cking stupid and celebrity crazed that they'll vote for someone without any political experience whatsoever (regardless of political affiliation) just because they're an actor I'd rather they not vote at all in any election that matters.

[ElementaryPenguin]

16. But they are gonna vote - and Ah-Nulld could help usher in Bush

Winning in Calif! Which would only mean that Bush will have WON the ENTIRE election!! It is fucking ridiculous - but we are through the looking glass at this point!!

[ElementaryPenguin]

14. Barf back at you!! You're giving the public too much credit!!

This fucking Ah-nulld scam could work for the Repukes! How can we stoop this low? When you're up against Karl Rove, you can't stoop low enough!!

[West Coast Democrat]

12. How about John Cusack?

Does he live in California?

[Stumpy]

17. Warren Beatty is the only choice.

imho

[nolabels]

18. Robert Redford isn't busy is he? Anybody would be better than.....

Arnold. gawd considering they are willing to put complete novices in, how about Lassie



http://www.lassie.net/doyou.htm

[ElementaryPenguin]

20. Redford IS the man - but he really is a resident of Utah.

Redford would also be a great Dem presidential candidate.

[nolabels]

24. That guy was and is just way too cool, Three days of the condor

Okay, then Jack works for me. My wifes likes him, she leans to the repub side and I am sure she would vote for him. Won't she be suprised when she finds out about the Real Joker

[nbsmom]

38. Don't know about that.

Wasn't he born in Van Nuys? Doesn't he currently live in the Bay Area?

He still has his Sundance interests, but I'm willing to bet he files in CA.

[Sequoia]

23. How about Clint Eastwood!

at least he was BORN HERE. And his father was not a Nazi. You gotta wonder about that. Remember Dubya's grandpappy's dealings with the Nazis?

[xequals]

27. I believe Eastwood is a Republican. (nt)

.

[indypaul]

25. Heard earlier that

Rob Reiner (Meathead) was seriously giving it
consideration. Real emphasis should be on defeating
the recall altogether. Is it possible to start a recall
on Issa?

[berner59]

28. Redford does live in CA...

He's got a home there and in Utah...does that count?? He's about to start "The Candidate" sequel...why not make it a reality TV show???

[Lost_Stash_Of_Dubya]

26. How about a director?

Quentin Tarantino?

I could see Tarantino giving some awesome monologues on Dubya's suppressed homoerotic tendencies, and I'll bet Quentin could give the NAACP the best speech they've ever heard from a white boy!

Now that I'm on this train of thought, how about Samuel L. Jackson? He's possibly the most bad-ass actor I can think of, and 'Murikans would feel really secure with him as commander in chief!

"Your sendin' the special "Wolf" forces into Saudi Arabia? Shit, negro, that's all you had to say!"

--in debates against Dubya, "Say 'fuzzy math' again, I DARE ya! Say 'fuzzy math' one more Goddamn time!!! Oh....I'm sorry, did I break your concentration??!? Is that why you haven't put together one coherant sentence in the last 5 mutherfuckin' minutes? Do they speak english in Texas? ENGLISH MOTHERFUCKER, DO YOU SPEAK IT?!?!?!?"

Heh, that would be a cool debate. :)

[Nay]

32. God, yes. Samuel L. Jackson.

The debates would be awesome. He'd rip everybody a new asshole.

[Exultant Democracy]

36. Haha, that would be a riot...

if he got Al Sharpton to write his speaches, and just went all nutty.

[robbedvoter]

30. How about someone with experience? Davis? Bustamante?

Why are you playing their game here?

[ElementaryPenguin]

34. Experience? Fine then - give us the BIG DOG!!!!

Big Dog would decimate Ah-nulld's steriod fried brain!!

[shanti]

41. thank you!

we are right >>>here<<< on this!

[bemildred]

33. Dennis Hopper.

[jfkennedy]

37. I agree Clark/Baldwin

California is gone the Republicans won it. Focus on 2004. With the 9 we have in now the Republicans will win in 2004 as well.

No one will go to the polls to vote for a politician, but if an actor is involved in acting like a president or vice president, they will go in great numbers to vote, because they will feel like they are going to a movie. Its perception not right or wrong.

The point is the people don’t care about 9/11. They want image and power. General Clark has the image and the power, with someone like Alec Baldwin as Vice President People will want to vote.
