John Cusack Gives Us a Quiz
Friday, June 13, 2008 at 5:49PM
As we know,
John Cusack is a fiercely political guy. He's
been at odds with the Bush administration since it began over one thing or
another and, in fact, there was leading up to 2004, a grass roots Cusack for
President campaign, of which he had no part.
Of course, he was making movies like Must Love Dogs
then, so he wouldn't have been elected anyway.
It's not a surprise thought, that as we head into what
looks like an intriguing four or five months of political discourse in America,
Cusack is speaking his mind again. He recently cut a :30 ad for MoveOn.org, and
while we're not endorsing anyone, Cusack certainly seems to be.
A lot of people have big issues with celebrities
speaking their mind on these issues, but I think that's ridiculous. I think it's
the right thing to do, actually...so long as you're informed. It doesn't matter
to me which side you're on if you're passionate and knowledgeable. Having said that, you should be accountable for your words and stand by them even, celebrities, and remember that words alone mean a hell of a lot less than actions.
Morons and
blowhards can keep their mouths shut (and I'm a little tired of hearing that
Susan Sarandon will move to Canada if McCain wins in November), but intelligent
political discourse is always a good approach and we need more of it. Especially
now.

John Cusack should be involved in an Obama administration. If these public figures don't speek up who will? Anyone paying attention knows g. bush/d. cheney are war criminals and their true believers are fools also. The bush movie credits should list-wrong war, dead civilians in the 100's of 1,000's, dead and wounded soldiers of the coliation, led into a war which was unjust, gas prices up 300%, unreasonalbe tax breaks for the very wealthy, not just your common millionare, Katrina-fine job brownie mess, housing crisis, jobs losses, devaluaion of the $, 6 Tril. surplus to -9 Tril.$ debt, limit of civil rights, rendition, and on and on. I can't think of one thing bush has done right. John Cusack just points out to the uninformed what should be so obvious to anyone with a thinking brain that this country and it's people need to wake up. On the count of three you will be awake and alert and vote out the party of deceived, THE republicans, 1, 2, 3-wake up!
