NoCalMike 0 Report post Posted October 1, 2004 Regarding Michael Moore's 60-City, Swing State Tour by Ralph Nader Michael Moore will make you laugh but don't be fooled by his "cool" shorties. Shorties like "Bush and Kerry Both Suck—That's Why I'm Voting for John Kerry." Ha, ha, ha. Moore's law is: suck young voters into a paradox and they'll vote his way before they notice the contradiction. Ply them with beer and chips, give them a free glance at the celluloid reprint Fahrenheit 9/11 before it is remaindered into DVD land. This promotional tour for Michael Moore, Incorporated even calls the Nader/Camejo supporters "impaired." This from a turncoat who would turn his back on his closest buddies, if he was asked to by his favorite Democrat—Hillary Clinton, the pro-war, pro-Patriot Act, pro-corporate globalization Senator from New York. Oh, Eugene Debs, Robert LaFollette and Henry Wallace—where are you to show Michael Moore that you have to have the courage to lose the struggles for social justice before you so those who follow you can win. Moore is cutting and running from his past stand-up positions. He has shelved his corrosive criticism of the Democratic Party. This is a party which has gotten regressively more gutless, spineless, clueless and hapless; bungled the election of 2000; and has continued losing to the worst of the Republicans for the past ten years at the state and federal levels. Michael is muting more and more of the tough and necessary stands he took with us at the large Nader/LaDuke rallies in 2000. It is entirely appropriate, therefore, that the title of his new book is "Will They Ever Trust Us Again?". Welcome to "us," Michael. Moore has his own brand of hot air. Put him to the test when he says, "I will do your laundry, I will clean your house, I will give you a year's supply of beer nuts if you will commit to me to go to the polls on Tuesday, November 2nd." Imagine Michael sweeping your frat or sorority house, washing your toilets, or laundering your dirty socks and t-shirts. Put it to him and watch him claim he was just kidding. That's Michael—kidding so you can do his bidding in going for the least-worst—Kerry—without putting any demands on him. Tell Michael to give you a list of what public demands he's making of Kerry to offset the pull of corporate lobbyists on Kerry and the Democratic Party day after day. If he makes public his Kerry demand list, tell him you'll cook him a low-carb meal with carrot juice. Young generation of Americans, vote your conscience! Vote for your power to shape your future. Vote to make corporations our servants, not our masters and the avaricious dominators of our government. Show Michael Moore how to stand tall for justice. Vote Nader/Camejo.

Guest GreatOne Report post Posted October 1, 2004 As I say, hell if you're not gonna go for Bush vote Nader. Although I will admit that I first saw the title and thought 'Why does Moore want Nader on his 60-day tour all the sudden?' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MikeSC Report post Posted October 4, 2004 Hate to bump this --- but, apparently, MICHAEL MOORE was offered the now-thoroughly-debunked Killian memos while making F 9/11. He turned them down --- because he felt they weren't reliable. So, in terms of journalistic integrity, CBS has dropped BELOW Michael Moore. -=Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
