Therein lies the problem....

Wayne Gretzky - "All I can say is the president of the United States is a great leader, I happen to think he's a wonderful man and if he believes what he's doing is right I back him 100 percent, If the president decides to go to war he must know more than we know, or we hear about. He must have good reason to go and we have to back that." Speaking about the views in Canada, as well as the outspoken Hollywood establishment, Gretzky said, "I guess we get it more in the United States because actors and singers -- they all think they know politics. I'm tired of watching people who are not in politics give their opinions. Quite frankly that's what we have governments for and that's why we elect governments."

However:
Gretzky, who has dual Canadian and U.S. citizenship, also said Canadians should back Prime Minister Jean Chretien's decision not to send troops to the war.
"Listen, everyone has an opinion over whether what we did was right or wrong. But again, the people of Canada elected their leader, they believe in him and they have to believe in his decision. He decided not to go to Iraq and we have to back him as a country," Gretzky said.
"People are going to believe he's right or wrong, but the bottom line is: He's our leader and when he makes a decision, we have to follow it."

Martin Sheen has an honorary doctorate from my school.

Tray.com is a very useful website for deciding whether or not someone is or is not pro-Bush or pro-Kerry...

It lists all political contributions by a simple search using names.

Not for nothing, but that doesn't always mean much. Lots of people and companies contribute to both...

Of course Wayne Gretzky would say that. He was too much of a pussy to even defend himself on the ice. He was later heard saying he would be in favor of going to war as long as Marty McSorley would be there to protect him.

Now that's a little harsh don't you think? I don't blame him for urging support for his country's leader; it's what many of us do here when we urge support for Bush's decisions.

Kind of a hijack, but is anyone else sick to death of celebrities who think that we actually care what they think about a given topic? Seriously, I feel that they're insulting my intelligence. "Oh, I better vote for Kerry because Linda Rondstadt says so..."

Yeah, like that's going to happen! I'd be more apt to want to see IQ tests brought back before I vote solely on the advice of star.

I am sick of this too! I really don't give a flying flip what anyone in Hollywood thinks. All of the attention they get has definitely gone to their heads. And if I was Kerry, I wouldn't want someone as crass as Whoopi supporting me and speaking out for me.
While I'm sick of hearing from celebrities, if they are going to speak out it's at least nice to hear some speak out in support of Bush and/or the war. I agree that not all those quotes equate to support for Bush but at least they are showing people that not all celebrities are extremely liberal, war and Bush bashers.

What do celebrities think?

Why should I give a crap? I can make my own decisions.

I agreee...................but there are those who can't make their own decisions. They like to vote according to who thier "idol" or "favorite celebrities" votes for, which sucks azz

James · #13 07-26-2004, 12:06 PM

ahhh IQ yest to vote. Ok I'll bite. No one that isn't in the upper 2 percent of the population based on IQ should be eligible to vote.

Ha! I would hope that nobody would vote for Bush based on what Jessica Simpson thinks! The girl didn't even know that Buffalo Wings weren't made from Buffalo nonetheless know about politics....
