1. If this is indeed real, you can bet your ass he's got my vote

Walken for Pres? :bounce:

[auntAgonist]

3. I can't find any

suggestion anywhere on the site that it's a gag.

interesting...

27. The only 'suggestion' I can find is in the source code for the page...

...there's a header "All original content Copyright 2005 Christopher Walken for President"

Makes me wonder...Copyright??? Original Content?

[redacted]

2. Damn he can dance and I'd vote for him. He should run for governator tho.

[name not needed]

4. He's got my vote.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

40. Sweetie, you can't vote for at least three years.

:evilgrin:

[name not needed]

41. Actually, not much more than a year.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

43. I thought you were 15.

Did you age two years in a year?!
Duckie

[name not needed]

44. No, 16

turning 17 in 2 months

[Droopy]

5. It looks like it's for real

I didn't pick up any sarcasm clues.

[auntAgonist]

7. me either

I thought it odd that he would go right for the presidency rather than take a State Government job .. but hey whatever works :)

[CrownPrinceBandar]

6. Finally!!!!...........

a candidate I can get behind. You got my vote, Chris.

[terrya]

11. The Constitution says that you have to be 35 and a natural born American.

And...he is. :-)

Why not?

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

8. He worked with a lion tamer in his youth according to his bio

That trumps a cat killer candidate in my book.

[JAbuchan08]

9. It'll be a LOT more fun to listen to the state of the Union!

He'd be a great choice just for the cadence.

[Dude_CalmDown]

18. OK I've been laughing out loud for about 2 minutes now at this image.

First laugh in several days. Thanks.

[JAbuchan08]

19. I sincerely wish I could do my Walken impression over the computer

sorry.

[Gildor Inglorion]

10. I love it!

If he runs as a Democrat, he's got my vote!

[auntAgonist]

13. that's the ONE thing I cannot find

is party affiliation.

I guess we could email the campaign and find out.

:hi:

[JAbuchan08]

15. Well it says he thinks the country is on a downward spiral

so unless he believes it was caused by Clintons cock (or Deans scream, or Kerry's Vietnam service) he's probably OK.

[Panda1]

24. They won't reply

Due to the volume and diversity of emails we receieve every day, we will unfortunately not be able to reply to your individual comments at this time.

If I see the words coming from his own lips...maybe I'll buy it.
Until then....interesting.

[Placebo]

12. Fuck no! CLINTON '08!

:patriot:

[Reverend_Smitty]

14. This country needs more cowbell!!!

and he's just the guy to bring it to us

[Spock_is_Skeptical]

17. I've got a fever

[mcscajun]

20. I wondered how long that would take...

...would cowbell haunt him on the campaign trail?

We wonders, my precious, we wonders...

[bliss_eternal]

16. Wouldn't some freeper confuse him w/the character he played

in Dead Zone? :crazy:

They would come out of left field saying he attempted to kill some guy in govt. to deter his supporters and campaign.

[mcscajun]

21. Well, aside from the website...the only reference I can find

is on World Net Daily (gag, retch :puke:) who seem to have been the only folks to pick up this supposed 'private conference' and the associated press release.

[KG]

22. sign me up!

check out his interview of the shrub: http://www.thetoiletonline.com/leaveit3.htm

[Synnical]

45. That was funny!

Thanks!

[iconoclastic cat]

23. Goodnight MOON, goodnight SPOON, goodnight cow, jumping over the

moon. You in the red, scooch up. Children, skooch closer. Don't make me tell you AGAIN about the SCOOCHING.

[auntAgonist]

25. if

Arnold can do it (run for office)... why not?


:hi:

[hyphenate]

31. Arnold CAN'T run for president

He's a foreign national. Unless the constitutional amendment on "American-born" is overturned, and I doubt that will happen anytime soon.

[auntAgonist]

37. Yes .. that's not what I meant

I meant that if Arnold (being an actor) can run for office ...

[hyphenate]

38. Ah! My apologies

But there is still something about Arnold Schwarzenegger's politics which seriously irks me. The fawning "worship" of the populace that voted for him shows how stupid some people really are.

Sometimes, when you think of all the actors who have run for or who are in office, it just seems apparent that politics is just another bullshit job for them compared to most of their other roles.

[auntAgonist]

39. I'm with you .. and please

no need to apologize :)

I realize I wasn't clear in what I wrote.
Actors in office, imho are just playing at another bit part. The country is going to hell in a hand basket, and people are lining up for autographs from the celebrities .. sad. :cry:

[hyphenate]

26. Anyone got an "in" with the Daily Show?

Shit! We could have Jon Stewart work the press secretary position, or even be PR for the campaign!!

Even better--hope someone from TDS picks up on this, and gets him onto the show--soon!

[nytemare]

28. He should run for Governor of Florida first

To get political experience. After that, then is time for cham pag na.

[auntAgonist]

49. I LOVE that picture .. what a buffoon!!

looks like a whiney 2 year old.

[Chichiri]

29. Most likely a hoax:

Domain is registered to a PO box in Florida, under the name of some ex movie actor or something.

[hyphenate]

33. That doesn't mean anything

because some people set up phony or dummy companies to register their domains. Believe me, I've run into that quite a lot, as well as websites which are registered by some people FOR other people. There is also a huge market for people who snap up domain names and then try to sell them to the highest bidder. So even if the domain isn't registered directly to him, it could still be genuine.

I think this is an interesting thought. I would be inclined to believe it, though, because of Walken's frequently outspoken remarks. Unlike Warren Beatty who talks the talk, Walken is walking the walk. (And sorry about that horrendous pun!)

[nytemare]

30. I can't find the article I just read, dammit, looks like a hoax, though.

One of the quotes at the top right corner of the page said "words are like little bombs and they have a lot of energy inside them."

Most of the quotes are pretty funny, actually.

Even if it is a hoax, I want a T shirt!

[Chichiri]

32. Yep, it's a hoax.

http://pub28.bravenet.com/forum/2399959624/fetch/593970/

[hyphenate]

34. Ah, damn

Too bad. Perhaps enthusiasm might spark him to really consider running.

[Montauk6]

35. Well, World Nut Daily has picked up the story.

http://worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=45757

[Montauk6]

36. Can you imagine a Walken/Moriarty showdown???

[TexasLady]

42. I have loved this man since the Deer Hunter

that and Brainstorm.

Yummy!

[Synnical]

46. I will watch ANY movie w/Walken

I just adore his talent and style.

Deer Hunter is #1 on my most fav movies of all time. I also really like "Dogs of War" - which is not a war movie at all.

Hey Lady, thanks for going to Crawford. :toast:

[TexasLady]

47. andthanks for appreciating a man

that lots of my friends consider not so handsome. I think hes GORGEOUS!
:toast: back atcha! Im having a couple three well deserved Amberbocks tonight. Its been a long, wonderful week!

[LeftyDarthBrodie]

48. Walken can't be worse than the last actor elected President

or that actor elected government or that miserable failure currently occupying the Presidency.

[auntAgonist]

50. I KNOW you're right

too bad it's not true and only a hoax :(


:hi:
