It was my pleasure to visit your Website. I am also very Website you enjoy the article.And I also have the feeling that it was really a pity that we didn’t meet each other earlier. Because the kindness and warmth in your Website can make me completely relaxed and happy. I hope that you will visit my blog too to see if you can have the same feeling.http://www.buynikeshoes.com

Oops, sorry--typo. I meant to say that basically, it's their right to say what they want--that maddening thing called "free speech" that everyone hates until it's taken away from them.

I think it's a mistake to assume that all actors and stupid and/or out of touch, the same way they shouldn't assume that all middle-Americans are stupid yokels. I can't fault them for doing PSAs--if I had that kind of forum, I'd damn well use it, and so would most people. Just because they say it doesn't mean we have to buy it, but they can certainly buy it. Also, I can't blame people like MoveOn for picking a horse--clearly Sen. Obama is a candidate more clearly in alignment with their mission as a non-profit--if you've got a horse in the race, why not pick it publicly? This IS a race after all, isn't it?

I don't listen to celebrities because they are stupid and mostly uninformed. Like the poster below said, they are out of touch with the rest of America. Personally I think that people campaigning should quit spending millions and millions of dollars on stupid ads because honestly I am not going to vote for you based on some stupid ad. I wish that the public would do the research themselves and decide on the candidate they want instead of deciding to vote for this one or that one because some stupid moron celebrity said to.

I tend to instinctively lose respect for a celebrity that tell me how to vote, especially when the celebrities seem no more informed than the average person, they just happen to have a public forum. They're also, for the most part, disturbingly out of touch with most of America. (I say this as someone who works in the industry and regularly hears anyone in the middle of the country referred to as "hicks," "yokels" or just plain "backwards.") I wait for the day when people are encouraged not to vote for a particular candidate or to just "vote or die" but encouraged to thoroughly educate themselves on the candidates and their parties and THEN vote. So many of these celebrities contribute to the harmful idea that one choice is right and one is wrong, an idea that not only breeds division and, potentially hate, but lacks any sense of empathy.

Much as I'd love to watch it, I refuse to support MoveOn.org. I wish they really would just do as their name suggests. They've become the same agents of division they used to decry on the other side.

That PSa with Penn Badgley and Blake Lively is pretty hilarious.
