[...] thinks it’s refreshingly honest when they don’t bother to talk about issues, and it may be, but it also makes me think either [...]

Tom said (paraphrased) “…when president-elect BO swears on the Holy Bible…”

What a relief to know Barak Hussein Obama is not a Muslim!

One:

This is the same lame-a$$ argument that the fat black woman from the view made… “I want to see a black president”.

Two:

The whole thing is incredibly stupid anyway. If anyone substitutes a celebrity’s endorsement for their own judgment and reasoning, then I that person should not only abstain from voting but should also repeat high school, grade school and drop the crack-pipe.

Item one: Which one (fat black woman on The View)?? Seen Whoopi lately?

Item two: Well put. Who do we get to introduce the legislation?

(P.S. I hope we’re on friendlier terms now.)

Hey, noone’s perfect. Still like the guy.

Yep me too, he’s a great actor and has done some amazing movies. It’s just too bad he’s been brainwashed and poisoned by the liberal cult crazies that run Hollywierd!

I hope he gets an intervention before he’s too far gone, but the fact he’s voting for Obama tells me it may be too late for him…so sad.

During WWII, there was a saying that went:

“Loose lips sinks ships”

Hanks is playing the “Saving Private Ryan” and “Band of Brothers” card. As if it gives him credibility to support a socialist liberal dem who would have cut and run after Pearl Harbor.

Mr. Hanks, say it aint so. As an ex military man, I have appreciated the work you have done to have various memorials built for WWII vets. I have also enjoyed all of your movies,…yes even joe versus the volcano. I wish you had kept your mouth shut about your politics. Now every time I see you in a movie, I will see “Tom Hanks, liberal democrat”; I will not see the character. I just wished you had just shut up and acted. You have lost a fan sir, you will not use another of my dollars to give to your socialist friends.

I too liked “Saving Private Ryan” but I couldn’t give a rat’s ass less who this guy votes for . . . or his political philosophies.

Oh my is that a cross behind Tom Hanks. Some sort of subliminal message there? Oh never mind, it’s just a bookcase like what was behind the Huck’ when he delivered a message.

Barry has a black father and a white mother.

So, why is he “black” and not “white”?

He’s as “white” as he is “black”, so why not call him “white”? It’s as accurate as calling him “black”.

Let me get this straight;

He’s as “white” as he is “black”, so why not call him “white”? It’s as accurate as calling him “black”.

If my information is correct, the KKK was formed by the democrats to stop blacks from voting.

Apart from that on point, overall I don’t understand why blacks vote for democrats, and if anyone were to ask them at a townhall meeting type of setting, I wonder what their answers would be?

If we must have a black president, how about this guy? (mild language alert)

Definitely not a RINO.

baldilocks on May 4, 2008 at 4:58 PM

That guy is awesome.

He could lose the beard thing, but he’s awesome.

I wish we had more people on our side who would talk politics like that.

Out of respect for Hanks’ memorable and moving performances in Mazes and Monsters and especially Bachelor Party, I’m indebted to him and will be voting for Obama.

I don’t really get the problem here (unless this isn’t the only quote). Sure, she doesn’t address the fact that blacks were counted as fractions by those who opposed slavery, but she doesn’t say the opposite either.

It is true that it happened, and it is understandable if people are offended by it even though there were good intentions behind the law.

No, no. Obama’s mother was all white (whatever that means). So, he’s therefore 4/5 a person right? (Half between 3/5 and 1.0). Oh this is so complex.

Skipper50 on May 4, 2008 at 7:27 PM

No, I think the law was applied to all blacks, even those with a white parent, unless they were white enough to “pass” as white.

is it any better to want someone elected because they are black vs. those that vote against them because of their skin color, gender, etc? instead of making a case on you know, the issues?
