I still get a laugh at some politicians in the past commenting about Murphy Brown (not Candice the actress, but her TV character), and later in some episode have Murphy Brown respond to the politician. A sign of a mental break down and the inability to distinguish reality from make-believe. This is becoming a real problem in this country.
But then, what does one expect? We live in a world where someone thinks that it is perfectly sane to take a perfectly good pair of bluejeans out and shoot holes in them. 
Personally, I think that any politician that has to rely of Hollywood to help boost their image, may not be strong enough to lead a country. If they don't have enough UMPH in themselves to draw the people by offering real and doable solutions, then I am afraid, they are little more than actor-wannabees, looking for attention by trying to ACT like a leader.
What we need are people who ARE leaders, not just wannabees who ACT like leaders. |
Are there really that many differences between actors and politicians? |
SAG Cards.  |

In a sense, we are all actors. When I go to work, I put on my business suit and go into my role as a business woman. When I go home, I put on my house dress and go into my homemaker role. We all wear masks of sorts.
My husband knows when I have reached my limit when I state, "I am going to go live with the Bushmen of the Kalahai." Have you ever seen the movies, "The Gods Must Be Crazy, and The Gods Must Be Crazy 2?"
I just think that too many politicians work closely with the press to keep the general public in the dark about things that should be of concern to everyone. Why should a chosen few determine the fate of all? |

If we let them. Just remember that it was a few chosen people who decided to exterminate the Native Americans, the Jews, and various African tribal nations. Burma's fate is being determined by a few people also. Luckily, the word is getting out and voices are being raised in protest. |

“When the stock market crashed, Franklin D. Roosevelt got on the television and didn’t just talk about the, you know, the princes of greed. He said, ‘Look, here’s what happened,”‘ Barack Obama’s running mate recently told the “CBS Evening News.”
Except, Republican Herbert Hoover was in office when the stock market crashed in October 1929. There also was no television at the time; TV wasn’t introduced to the public until a decade later, at the 1939 World’s Fair.
The man has always suffered from "foot in mouth disease" but
this is starting to make Krlina's first post look credible  |

I heard that. Pretty funny in a scary, OH MY GOD, he could be president kind of way.......
He also made the faux paux of saying he did not support the bail out at the same time Obama was supporting it. Obama was "less than pleased" with Biden's response. Not good when you can't even agree before the election........  |

I bet Murphy Brown would have had a field day with that one. I am sure the late night comedians are all sharpening their arrows.
In reality, I wish there was a third party strong enough to knock both, the Democrats and the Republicans out on their asses. That goes for congress too. It has gotten to where the parties have been reduced to squabbling like siblings. What they need is a swift kick in the pants. |
