Alec Baldwin: Voting For Truth
Obama is PEACE!!! McCain is Disaster!!

a recent issue of the New Yorker is a short compilation of cartoons, one of which, I believe, says it best for November 4th: the sign on the road points one way to victory. The other way is truth.

Whether it be victory over the Iraqis or "terrorism" or the recession or all of those un-American parts of the US, voters will hopefully set aside the need for any clear-cut victory against some of the windmills we currently tilt at and vote on Tuesday for the truth. We need it and we need it now. With the bark on, as we used to say in Boy Scout camp.

McCain was once a fairly decent choice for his party. That is no longer the case. Obama is certainly young and we face remarkably tough times. But he is smart and decent and has seemingly limitless energy. We will need all three of those things in order to move forward, wherever we are going.

~snip~

Vote for Barack Obama. In war, he will effectively lead us. But, as importantly, it is Obama who will lead us to peace better than the Republicans. Peace. Something you never hear the GOP talk about anymore.

1. And if you vote for McCain, you are a rude, thoughtless little pig!
Sorry.

SOMEONE had to do that.

I really do love Alec Baldwin, though.

Stephen Baldwin: ‘McCain can bring change’
Sarah Palin’s ‘favorite Baldwin’ discusses his faith, support for John McCain
By Sarika Dani
TODAY staff
updated 2:42 p.m. PT, Fri., Oct. 24, 2008
Actor, author, and born-again Christian Stephen Baldwin — who Sarah Palin last week referred to as her “favorite Baldwin brother” on “Saturday Night Live” — talks to TODAYshow.com about his faith and support for Republican presidential candidate John McCain. Baldwin’s latest project is a work of fiction called “The Death and Life of Gabriel Phillips.”

Q: Why do you think McCain is the best choice for our next president?

A: I think that right now everybody's freakin' out, and for a good reason. The next president of the United States has to look at multiple issues simultaneously. In the prioritization of that, of course it's our economy. We need someone who is prepared and experienced enough to deal with all that's on our plate now.

LATER IN THE SAME INTERVIEW:
Q: The New York Daily News last week quoted you calling Barack Obama a “cultural terrorist.” Can you explain your statement?

A: If you look up the definition of the words, a terrorist is someone who incites violence. The Bible says that “God knew us and formed us in our mother's wombs.” Simply the fact that he's pro-abortion — that to me is a form of terrorism based on the dictionary definition.

Here's what's creepy about Obama: There's something else going on with this dude. That’s part of the mystery of Barack Obama. That is probably what will cause him to lose this election. As much as people love the phenomenal aspect of his message, there's a lot of unanswered issues about this dude. Creepy stuff. His birth certificate … you could call it all hokesy stuff.

John McCain doesn’t have anywhere near the amount of questions in his past as Barack Obama. Not even close. He's got Keating Five. He doesn't have things about his record and history and being that are in question. He's a war hero. He's literally one the last of a dying breed of heroes.
