Big stars change gears on ‘don’t vote’ concept (still telling lies about the 2000 election)

NEW YORK - Leonardo DiCaprio is bringing out the big guns to get out the vote.

Tom Cruise, Julia Roberts, Harrison Ford, Will Smith, Steven Spielberg and Justin Timberlake are among the celebrities starring in a new public service announcement produced by the actor, who also appears in the spot.

The video shows the stars struggling to grasp the concept of using reverse psychology to get young people into voting booths...

Finally, Ford says, “You know what? I can’t do it. It’s not true, I don’t believe it — 537 people decided the 2000 election, and you want me to tell people that one vote doesn’t count?”

537 people were NOT the difference between Gore and Bush in Florida 2000.

The 3,000 overseas military ballots WERE approved by the courts. Katherine Harris held to her ORIGINAL certified total because the 3,000 overseas ballot would not have been a factor in WHO became the president. If Gore had received 600 more ballots in Floriduh, President Bush would have STILL won re-election by several THOUSAND ballots in Florida.

Give it up Harry Ford.

Not to mention the THOUSANDS of voters in the panhandle who didn’t vote because the newsmedia called the election for Gore (in FL) before the panhandle polls had closed.
BTW, the panhandle is FULL of Republicans.

The Left will remember the 2000 Election the way that some Southerners remember the Civil War.

Too much hate to ever change.

Says the actor who plays Borat is also in the video. Isn’t he not a US citizen? At what point will all of these contributions of value to the Obama campaign be questioned by the FEC?

They can resent losing the election but I will forever point out their lies about basic facts.

No, we Southerners base our remembrances on FACT; Liberals are all about feelings. We were willing to put our lives on the line for an ideal.

Semper fi.

The character Borat is an anti-Semite. Makes perfect sense that he supports the campaign even though he like mighty warlord premier Bush.

Liberals are only ever willing to rely on better men to protect them and then whine about not getting enough blum-blums.
