- wonderboy, on 10/31/2007, -4/+193If it's Rudy vs Hillary, I'm with the 13%.
- notque, on 10/29/2007, -18/+168I support Stephen Colbert for President, and SO CAN YOU!
His Facebook is over 1 million strong now. - edwartica, on 10/29/2007, -10/+131I'm seriously considering voting for him out of protest. I hate Guilianni and I hate Clinton.
- BrandonPerry, on 10/31/2007, -2/+111I dunno, we might just go into a war on bearorrism.
- dafragsta, on 10/29/2007, -0/+74If it's Rudy vs Hillary, nobody wins.
- tehbored, on 10/28/2007, -3/+71This is gonna end up just like that Robin Williams movie isn't it?
- Superflks, on 10/29/2007, -7/+70Well I know that I, for one, base all future decisions on the Rasmussen Report telephone survey...
Point being, while I love the fact that someone that makes me laugh is running for President, it is also a good idea to focus on someone who actually has a chance of winning.
Preferably also someone besides Clinton or Guiliani. - geddon, on 10/27/2007, -8/+58Hard for me to comment against the man, but.. Seriously.
- FadieZ, on 10/27/2007, -5/+54Hmm.."Colbert Administration"...sounds good.
"Hi, I'm president Colbert, but you can call me Steve." - duddles, on 10/27/2007, -0/+49As long as the bears pay the bear tax, I'm cool with it.
- lucidguru, on 10/27/2007, -7/+51I really hope Colbert makes a run... We desperately need comedians and other intelligent people running as candidates to point out hypocrisies, to take away blind public sentiment and force evidence to back up questionable claims, and to really take this bipartisanship ***** to a a whole new absurdity. Perhaps if America sees the failing political system for what it really is we will wise up and vote in some good leaders... or maybe the comedians will get elected and we'll have stuff to laugh about. Either way it's a win-win.
- arcooke, on 10/27/2007, -21/+64I'm all for anything that will get you people to shut up about ron paul for a few days.
- MWeather, on 10/27/2007, -0/+35"it is also a good idea to focus on someone who actually has a chance of winning."
No it's a good idea to focus on someone you want to win. - dan222555, on 10/27/2007, -4/+39I just got back from Colbert's "I Am America" show at my school. He was entertaining. On his "candidacy for President" he said, "I'm not trying to win, I just want to ***** with people."
- roystgnr, on 10/28/2007, -2/+36It can't be too much like a Robin Williams movie; Stephen Colbert is funny.
- phnx0221, on 10/27/2007, -4/+34I am definitely voting for Dennis Kucinich. However, having Steven Colbert in a presidential race is fantastic, and very interesting. If you look at his white house correspondence dinner speech, and the way that he plays both sides of the political spectrum, it's not hard to see that there are going to be a lot of ***** calls on the way our government is run, the justifications for our wars, and the justifications for the ignorance of our domestic policy.
There are other candidates who are talking about the same things...but they don't have a hugely popular T.V. show. ;)
That will be a fantastic thing to see, so until our presidential election arrives, I will be throwing my support to both Kucinich, and Colbert! :) - jcaino, on 10/27/2007, -1/+30after all, we know you don't have to win the popular vote to get the command in chief job.
- Beatmiser, on 10/27/2007, -10/+38If you're going to throw your vote away can I have it?
- izzybr, on 10/28/2007, -3/+31Check Bush's current approval rating for the percentage of Americans that are retards
- Snarfy, on 10/27/2007, -0/+28You should only vote for who you want to win, not who you think will win, if you want democracy to actually work.
- edwartica, on 10/29/2007, -10/+36I know those are the two front runners, but they both make me want to vomit. They're both way too conservative.
- coolian, on 10/27/2007, -3/+28This presidency has become a joke of an administration.
Who, then, is more than apt for the job? The best comedian, of course! - notque, on 10/29/2007, -5/+29Obama / Edwards / Clinton have the same issues.
So it's Kucinich, Gravel or Colbert on the Dem side.
Kucinich is ignored, and needs support.
Gravel f'd up and didn't get in all the debates, and has a convoluted fair tax. Bye.
Colbert actually will defeat the biggest hurdle, which is wide attention.
So ***** it. Colbert and Kucinich it is. - gravis86, on 10/28/2007, -2/+26Ballet? I've got to see that to believe it. I'd love to see Colbert dancing around.
...Oh, you meant ballot... My bad. - notque, on 10/27/2007, -7/+31I'm very serious. Kucinich is my candidate. He is being ignored by everyone but.. Stephen Colbert.
I will fully support Stephen to literally win the White House. It's a billion times better than the other Democrat candidates. It's a protest vote, and an effective one. ***** the ruling class, they've destroyed us, and we have a way to fight back that could gain mass appeal. - ceredron, on 10/27/2007, -5/+29Well, ***** it. He's got my vote.
- Gerz1219, on 10/27/2007, -4/+26The funny thing is that, if this poll is accurate, Stephen Colbert is polling 12 points higher than Ron Paul.
- dairien, on 10/27/2007, -4/+25Only if it's a Cobert/Putin ticket.
- gbarberi, on 10/27/2007, -3/+23I was hoping Jon Stewart would be his running mate.
I have never wanted to vote for a candidate until now. - izzybr, on 10/27/2007, -2/+21A. He only made the announcement a week ago, unlike most candidates who have been at it for several months and are still in single digits
B. Bush's approval rating is in the low 20's, so pretty soon, the number of people who think Bush is doing a good job will be approximately equal the the number of people who would vote for Colbert - inactive, on 10/27/2007, -5/+22Ron Paul is a bear. Why do you hate America?
- buckybadger9876, on 10/27/2007, -32/+49Love Colbert, but my heart belongs to Ron Paul
thisnovember5th.com - notque, on 10/27/2007, -0/+15I'd rather vote for who I want and lose than vote for someone I don't want and win.
- beneathbrooklyn, on 10/27/2007, -3/+18i'm tired of people telling me who i'm supposed to vote for and who i should consider "viable" or not. people can make my own informed decisions.
- dillibob, on 10/28/2007, -8/+23this is a pretty interesting election season. a women, an african man, neonazi (guiliani), an alaskan, a torture victom, and a comedian all running in the same election. its definatly not the most boring race for presidency
- Nougat, on 10/27/2007, -1/+16As you recall, Ross Perot got 19% of the popular vote in 1992. Granted, that was after he dropped out, then restarted his campaign, claiming something about the Republicans and his daughter's wedding, and he didn't do so good in the debates. At one point early on, he led the polls at 39%.
Colbert has time. If he wanted to get on the ballot in all fifty states, he could do it. And what a good time it would be to watch that unfold. - m0tbaillie, on 10/27/2007, -1/+16It always amazes me how people seem to think the Internet is some sort of magical Neverland, as if none of those same 1.065 million people who join a pro-Colbert Facebook group exist outside of the Internet and wouldn't vote for the guy in "real life". I think it's safe to say that pretty much everybody on Facebook, for the most part, is over 18. Almost everybody on the site (*almost*) is college-aged and above, and for the most part, I think it's also very safe to say that the majority of college students have a better grasp on the realities of politics and world affairs than do most of our those in our parents' generation simply because it directly affects us now and in the future.
- humanerror, on 04/03/2008, -2/+16I'm assuming you are calling them "conservative" only because you don't know the word "fascist"
- dafragsta, on 10/27/2007, -2/+16See: Snakes on a Plane.
- Graemebru, on 10/27/2007, -1/+15What is it that people Don't Understand?
THIS IS A JOKE, Stephen Colbert is a comedian - atheinostic, on 10/28/2007, -1/+15Yeah, except Colbert won't puss out in the end
- Soave, on 10/27/2007, -1/+15And 78% of the people polled on that website would vote for him. Poll accuracy ftw.
- ripple123, on 10/27/2007, -0/+14Dude, don't even joke about Bill O'reilly as president. Theres just some things that shouldn't be joked about.
- natedouglas, on 10/27/2007, -6/+19I don't like Gravel's "National Initiative" either. It's all fun and games until the southern states outlaw abortion permanently. Same problem I have with Ron Paul. I don't want the states (or anyone) controlling anyone's body.
Don't forget about Bill Richardson. He's a good guy too, sadly neglected.
Kucinich is the best candidate, as far as I'm concerned. - djh816, on 10/27/2007, -2/+15Isn't he only going to be on the South Carolina ballet?
- rhinopig, on 10/27/2007, -0/+12You mean like this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTeZPHPKdps
- zachshmack, on 10/29/2007, -1/+13And how many people in that group:
a) Are old enough to vote
b) Live in South Carolina
c) Will actually bother to vote for him - Bamborzled, on 10/30/2007, -1/+13She'll say whatever she can to get into office.
- JPOOPOO, on 10/27/2007, -0/+12Considering the fact that most politicians are clowns anyway, electing a comedian won't be much of a change.
- MWeather, on 10/27/2007, -3/+141. Private charities are generally less efficient than the government. As crappy as the government is, it's got the economy of scale going for it. Administrative costs are much lower. And unlike private charities it doesn't need to spend nearly as much money marketing itself to get money.
2. People tend to give more money to the cuter/more depressing causes. This leaves many needy people SOL
3. I'm in total agreement about the earmarks. No more raiding the trust fund. Make it illegal. -
