[BikeWriter]

Perhaps he could be persuaded... :shrug:

2. Oh, I bet he has some skeletons in his closet he'd prefer not to out.

[BikeWriter]

4. Hmm, and who doesn't?

[TheGunslinger]

6. Quite a few people.

[BikeWriter]

9. I don't. Hey, quick, look over there! >>>------->

[snowbear]

7. Plus he looks pretty damned happy doing what he does now,,,,

Must be nice....

[BikeWriter]

10. Yeah, but why should he be happy?

:shrug:

[snowbear]

18. Why shouldn't he be?

His documentary Fahrenheit 911 was he best selling documentary EVER.. it won something like 19 film awards and its content is STILL relevant today.

He won an Oscar with Bowling with Columbine. He's a best-selling author with many more books and films to come.

He's a good husband and father who, despite living in NYC and traveling extensively, still found the time to give back BIG TIME to his hometown in Michigan with the revenues of "Roger & Me". :hug:

He's an honest person who's not afraid to write about, or make films exposing the TRUTH. And for that, Republicans loathe him.

But he's doing what he wants to do.. and he's damn good at it.

So... I don't get the question. Do you mean that just because Republicans hate him with a passion, he shouldn't be happy?

19. What makes you think that? (nt)

[TheGunslinger]

23. Seems I recall him saying something to that effect once.

[neweurope]

5. Hopefully never. No matter whether Democrats ore Republicans

hold the majority - everybody can run for Congress (as long as he/she is rich enough in this greatest democracy of all... *sarcasm*), but not very many people are really good in the opposition. Also there are people who are very good at criticizing but not as good in constructive work, and I think Moore is one of them. Let him do what he does best!

Remember Fallujah

Bush to The Hague!

[BikeWriter]

11. You may be right. I still think he'd liven things up.

[INdemo]

25. There are etics congressman must live by (well except for Republicans)

[sofa king]

8. He usually backs third parties, doesn't he?

I think it would be a hoot, especially if he made a film about it.

[BikeWriter]

12. Hee hee hee! Oh yeah! ;-)

[darkmaestro019]

13. that's what I'm screaming

please oh please oh please oh please. now now now.

Help us, Michael Moore, you're our only hope. (does distressed pretty Princess Leia eyes)

All right, perhaps not our ONLY hope, but in the top ten.

[BikeWriter]

14. I never saw a guy do Princess Leia eyes before!

Yep, it would be pretty cool if he ran. :)

16. He's in Michigan 1st District

That District is over 30 counties big and has a Dem in that seat anyway. A very safe Dem, Bart Stupak.

Do you have any idea what it's like to work a 30+ county district?? He would be nuts to do it.

17. I'm glad we have a good Dem there. What about California?

He may have a residence there, too.

[OneTwentyoNine]

20. Screw that,keep making movies that tell the truth.......

Works for me

[McLuhan]

21. Hey,

we will continue to need Michael to exercise his expertise making the Traverse City Film Festival the best in world! He has a vacation home on Torch Lake close to Traverse City, Michigan. The first year was a huge success.

[Eric J in MN]

22. We're better off with him directing movies.

Any Congressional district which would elect Michael Moore would go Democratic anyway.

We need movie stars for swing districts (Ben Affleck, Martin Sheen, Josh Hartnett), not controversial directors.

[win_in_06]

24. He's hardly photogenic, which unfortunately, matters.

[JNelson6563]

26. Let's hope not

Frankly, great guy and all but a political neophyte in the worst way. He really doesn't know how things work. He's been brought into the process by folks who have a real "do it for me" view.

Trust me on this, he's more valuable to us where he is.
