I LOVE that Harrison Ford just has to bring out the finger acting.

While I generally despise the idea of snobby celebrities believing people care about their stances on politics(and especially despise people who's politics are influenced by celebrities), this was hands down the most entertaining and worth-wild thing this despicable election season has given us. Hugely entertaining with no particular bias with a general message that everyone can actually agree on.
Particularly loved the appearances of Ford, Spielberg, Braff and Borat!

The only thing about that I didn't like was Snoop Dog. I listen to him sometimes, but "vote because a black man could be in the White House". Is that why Obama will be president?
Plus, I didn't think convicted criminals could vote regardless of celebrity. We all know Snoop has legal issues.

Federal elections are actually not direct-based, but representative based. It's up to each State to decide who is eligible to vote (within the framework of the Constitution) and how that vote is to count. That said, most (I'm a little hesistant to say 'all') do in fact bar convicted felons from voting.
Possession is generally a misdemeanor, though it can vary depending on the amount and also the number of convictions already had. (The 'three strikes' laws, for instance, elevate a crime to a felony if they're convicted of the same thing twice times already.)

I like that they made this video, but we all know what they mean by "getting out the vote".
I don't think all democrats are crazy, but a few of them are just totally out of touch with reality and the democrats in charge right now are way too far to the left. They DO NOT represent everyone. I would have been much happier with Hillary because she has the balls to stick up to other party leaders! Obama will be Lyndon Johnson all over again.
Spielberg, Leo & Harrison are okay, but Tom Cruise believes in Thetans fo Christ's sake!

There was also a guy who said that he's going to vote because there's a female vice president, you missed that?
Hasn't it occured to you that your reasons to pick a candidate could be complete BS to somebody else? Everybody who was on that video gave us a different reason to vote, and I figured that the point was that every individual might have a different reason to do it. And if a that's an important enough reason for Snoop Dogg, then it is. Don't dis it.
A person's motives to vote shouldn't matter, all that does is that they get out and DO IT. As it's the only way to uphold a democracy. Shame on you.

People should vote based on issues and principles. How is that BS?Finn said:
Motives do matter! People used to be motivated to vote for racists because they hated black people.
Shame on you. You don't know who I'm voting for either so F off! Being a moderator doesn't make you all knowing!

I'll actually disagree here. If we said 'people's movites shouldn't matter', then we would still have segregation, and even slavery. Also, please remember that all of Europe's 1930s fascists were popularly elected.
I can't STOP someone from voting who has terrible motives, as they have the right to vote anyway, but I can damn well attack their motives.

Really? Then why is it that the majority of people polled who support his Presidency cannot even describe his political positions? Even Howard Stern, who is by no means a conservative politico, was forced to see exactly how much race is playing this time out.
Even Colin Powell initially cited the 'importance of Obama's transendant presidency' (in terms of race) as being the primary reason for his endorsement. He had to back off later, but his original comments are preserved on YouTube.
I deal with Obama supporters all day, and, yes, the fact that he's black is the primary reason a lot of these guys are supporting him - out of some idea that voting for a black man would alleviate them of any racial guilt that they have, and that they're PROVING their tolerance and 'good-personism' by doing so.

And where did I say that I think lowly of your reasons? Please show it out to me.sandiegojones said:
Just when I thought that I specifically said it shouldn't matter who votes for who and why - and that means you too. It's all I DO know concerning this issue.
But sure, if you think that not controlling your temper and insulting your fellow man after misunderstanding him is the way to go, it's all cool with me...
Why didn't you chagrin that fellow then who said that voting is impotant because there's a woman on the ballot, hmm?Vance said:
