Dinish Sousa is going to be on Bill Maher tonight. I don't get HBO but for those who do and can stand to watch Maher you might want to see it.

Wife went to see it. She's already a right wing radical birther, so it was just more fuel on the fire.

I avoid overtly political movies. I feel how I feel about the the issues and that's that. I'm fairly conservative on most but I stray from that from time to time.

This election cycle, I was excited about one candidate but he didn't make it very far in the primaries...man I'm hoping for a darkhorse comeback but we never see those anymore.

Otherwise, I will vote as I always have, for the lesser of two evils.

I'm not history buff, but I'm pretty sure Obama didn't start two unwinnable wars.

But you also have to understand how some think. Some refuse to do things, they know the answers to deep down. What they want to hear, is different then what is actually being said.

Therefore, they will stay away from the movie, because they won't want to hear what it is they truly do know.

I have some friends who voted for Obama in 08 are very unhappy with him as our President, came away from the movie saying Gosh dang, now i know.

And wish they knew some of this stuff in 08.

Ironic how his first election was so positive and people were full of confidence. In 2012, Obama tried so hard to discredit, it was so disgustingly negative. Now so many people feel like, hey, why bother, no matter what income level Obama will think we are too rich comparative to Kenya. 32 million people and people think he did a good job is amazing. I hate to see what they think a bad job is.


Obama wants people who make 200k to vote for him and by the way, if you do he promises to raise their taxes. Hows that for a kick in the ass.

Maybe he should borrow more money and pay them.

I never stated, but I asked the question. I'm not a Republican or a Democrat either. But let's say I lean heavily to the conservative side.

MaryJane55US, I hear that opinion from people a lot and I think I've said that over the years myself. Everyone's always looking for that mysterious 3rd person but they never seem to appear.

That silent majority of people seem to be supporting this movie. The silent majority will vote on Nov. 6th and we will fire the Communist in Chief. America is stronger than this president.

The media protected him, they still are. I don't know when they will wise up, maybe when he tries to shut them down but then it will be too late. Isn't there talk now about controlling the internet? You can bet if he is re-elected without any restraints anymore he will do just what he wants to do.
