Write/Producer/Director/Actor David Zucker, who has produced movies such as Airplane, Police Squad, Naked Gun, and Phone Booth, was one of the panelists today at the Liberty Film Festival in West Hollywood.
One of the more memorable comments of the 3-day festival was made by Zucker during the panel discussion with other producers, writers, and actors.
Zucker's family has been a typical Jewish Democratic family forever. He has now become the black sheep of the family since announcing his intention to vote for George Bush this year for president. The family was almost in shock to hear that.
Zucker calls himself a "Sept. 12 Republican." For him, everything changed on Sept. 11, 2001. He recognizes the stakes in the war against the Islamofascists.
Although his mom will not consider voting for a Republican, he keeps sending her emails to educate her a little bit.
As an alternative to voting for a Republican he has given his mom and the rest of the family another way out. Because they don't like Kerry very much, but it would be heresy to vote for Bush, he is urging his relatives to "just leave it blank."
Now that is creative. Democrats, if you have doubts about Kerry, do your civic duty and vote for senators and congressmen and state officials, but leave the vote for the president blank. We can live with that.
Judging by David Zucker's year of birth (1947), his mother is one of the GIMME Generation (formerly known as the Greatest Generation or the World War 2 Generation). Why is it that people from this era think they have to keep giving FDR their vote 60 years after FDR died?

Oops, forgot /i
leave president selection blank
kkerry's krewe will fill in the blanks. vote W.
"Surely you must be joking, son."
"No, Mom, I'm not...and don't call me Shirley."
They could always vote for Ralphie, hehe
Only one problem: when Kerry's lawyers see that they voted for other down-ballot Dems, they will sue claiming that the "voters' intent" was to vote for Kerry. If they get a Democrat judge, they'll get to count it anyway.
I suppose people of Jewish faith and origin have a paricular insight into this. The question is: Does Bush represent Jewish values or is there a synergy between the "War on Terror" and the countless intifidas?
Playing on the success of the Reagan Democrats, the Bush team should be developing a theme around the "Sept. 12 Republicans. They are the Democrats who recognize we are at war and Western Civilization hangs in the balance.
According to Rabbi Gottlieb, who was at the event earlier in the day, about 50% of Jews who are under 30 support President Bush.
Vote for Ralphie, leave it blank...same thing except Kerry's lawyers won't be able to count a Nader vote like they would a blank one.
I think we should push the Bush haters toward Ralphie.
As Dennis Prager puts it, Zucker's mom sees "FDR" everytime she punches the ballot for a Democrat. They need someone to explain that 17 terms is the limit.
Nothing new, my grandmother wouldn't vote for Ike, so she didn't vote.
It's interesting to see the electorate changing. I've always felt there was a synthesis between the zionist view of Isreal and the neocons vision of creating democracy in the Middle East.
Hollywood Fleck of Sanity BTTT

That was the case with my late grandmother. As for my mom, she sees "JFK" everytime she votes democrat. "...if you are still a socialist at age forty, you have no head." Some people just cease to develop politically from adolescence. I do not see Nixon, Ford or for that matter Reagan when I vote, I am seeing George W.
Most american Jews dont follow typical Torah values so its hard to say because you are a jew you have a particular value, if they did they sure wouldnt be democrats.
He did us one helluva favor in 2000, and I'm hoping he'll repeat it should his services be needed.
BTW, great SN! ;)
How do you think Ralph got on the ballot in some petition states? lol
