George Bailey vs. Mr. Potter -- How many ladies know what I'm saying?

[Francine Frensky]

Tonight's debate is between the compassionate John Edwards, and the big-bucks CEO Dick Cheney.

There has never been a greater contrast between the democratic and republican visions of the world than what will be center stage tonight.

Cheney thinks capitalism solves all problems and big businesses should be left alone to do whatever they want.

Edwards believes in people and in helping people.

Every woman in the United States should ask themselves this question before voting: Do I want to live in Bedford Falls or Pottersville?

Cause whoever wins this election will probably be shaping the America of the 21st Century.

1. Definitely

Nice parallel.

2. I don't want to be Violet!

Scary thought.

I liked the comparison one of our other DUers came up with over the weekend-- Mr. Rogers vs. Hannibal Lecter. It stuck with me.

19. One of my favorite t-shirts of all time...

"Every Time A Republican Dies, A Queer Angel Gets His Wings"

Cracks me up every time...

4. I have been thinking about Pottersville and Bedford Falls...

for months as the metaphor for the contrasts between the Democrats and the Repukes. Where would you want to live?

6. Cheney sure does resemble Mr. Potter, doesn't he?

Good observation!!!

[Demit]

7. why just women?

[Francine Frensky]

11. Well, anybody who watches movie really, but I guess more women

watch this movie than men. Maybe I'm wrong.

8. Cheney = Voldemort

That is all.

9. I've always said this

He's a dead ringer Potter, only flintier.

10. I married George Bailey

Well, as close to "George Bailey" as I could get.

>Every woman in the United States should ask themselves this question before voting: Do I want to live in Bedford Falls or Pottersville?<

I agree. Plus, John Edwards is proud of his intelligent, well-educated wife. She knows what it's like to go to a job every day and take care of her family, unlike our current administration's spouses. The Edwards family has a few dollars in the bank, but they worked hard to get them.

I'd rather have my America shaped by two men who have shown their dedication to family and to hard work than by two men who have shown that there is nothing in this life more important to them than power and money.

12. I'm probably the only woman who hasn't seen this...LOL

You're talking about "It's A Wonderful Life," right? Never seen it. But I would choose Edwards any day over Cheney...as a leader or a husband. :loveya:

13. I just wish someone would use this tonight after the debate

whatever happens, I think this analogy, after seeing the two side by side, will resonate with people, especially women.

14. I thought of this RIGHT away!

cheney reminds me of grumpy old potter trying to take down honest John!

I wish someone on the networks would point this out..I have thought of this so many times...

[mondo joe]

15. Bill Clinton = Uncle Billy. But who is Clarence?

John McCain?

[PurityOfEssence]

18. That would be George Soros

Right?

[crispini]

16. I'd rather live in Pottersville!

Hey, Pottersville had great bars, nightlife, dance halls, and live music. Bedford Falls was a la-la-idealistic land of smarmy sentiments and faux greeting card sentiments bearing little or no relationship to reality. Sure, Pottersville needed some help too, I mean I'm not for the poverty or the facist corporate ownership of resources, but Bedford Falls was BORING. At least Pottersville wasn't so damn repressed!

Heh heh heh heh heh, flame away. :D

[baldguy]

17. Warped, frustrated old men?

Yeah, I can see that.

[ironflange]

20. I've been posting this pic a lot lately

But I'm proud of it
