The tensions in the Middle East are far too complex for most Americans to comprehend. What is happening in Israel and Gaza today will be written in our next generation's history books. Who they blame will depend on where Read more
Michael Moore recently posted a disturbing message on his Facebook site. At least it was disturbing to me. It was on election day hours before the polls were closing. Now understand, if this this was done by a person who wasn’t famous, I would be fine with it but when you are famous like Michael, I fee there is a certain level of responsibility you must take. This is what he said :
If you know someone who still hasn’t voted yet and is on the fence – and you think a personal call or text from me may help – text me their cell # at 810-522-8398. I will try to personally contact as many of them as I can in the next few hours. Every minute counts! (don’t post their cell on Facebook – you must text it to me at my personal phone number – which i guess i’ll have to change after today hahaha).
Now before you read my response, understand I do not believe in political parties. I think there are good ideas and bad ideas from both sides. I think for myself and do not require a party to tell me how to feel or vote.
This is was my response on his Facebook page
Michael Moore you are a great story teller but I find it shameful that you would use your celebrity status to influence people’s decision with a star-struck phone call. I believe you have a good heart and want to do the right thing. I know that you believe Obama (or the left) is the answer and that’s fine, I respect that, but by posting this you are no different than the PR mainstream media machine that pushes propaganda towards ignorant American’s and brainwashes them on how they should vote. Any politician that would allow over $1 billion dollars to influence their camp (mainly with school kid mentality smear ads) is un-American and immoral and both Obama and Romney did so. I understand the system forces them to play this game but we shouldn’t be encouraging people to vote for the broken system candidates or that bullshit term “lesser of two evil”. It’s still evil…Why wouldn’t you vote for good? We should be encouraging people to fix the system so this crazy amount of money called bribery will end or at least diminish greatly. I know you are against money in politics Michael (http://www.michaelmoore.com/words/mike-friends-blog/auction-2012-top-10-reasons-get-money-out) so why vote for the system that is exactly the opposite of what you stand for? Get the word out the right way, with your movies and your FB and your blog. IMO the answer is simple….just follow the constitution and stop and think before you support policies that hurt the masses. It’s called common sense and neither the democrats nor the republicans seem to have a clue about this.
If you want to inform yourself about how much money is being used to bribe candidates and where it comes from, you will have a very hard time finding it on CNN, FOX, or NBC… but you will find it here at OpenSecrets.Org
If you believe money is the root of all evil and does not help level the playing field for voters like you and me, you may want to hear what Dylan Ratigan has to say about it in this video.
Oh man…I feel so good every time I hear this video.
