As to your first question, you tell me. Why have them speak at all? Because we like a few songs they wrote or admire them for playing some fictional character on our televisions? Each political party uses entertainment icons to target certain groups of voters they believe they otherwise wouldn't reach. Kid Rock for the right, Black Eyed Peas on the left. Why do the political parties do this if not to provide direction for some segment of the masses?

Second question. That is my point. The more dysfunctional society becomes, the stranger the stars. They are the mirror to our disease.

Third. HuH? Did I say that? Where?

Fourth. Since politicians started employing entertainers to shill for them. It looks like our elected officials think they need to depend on the star power for votes. At least they are depending on them. And they are depending on them because they think we depend on them. And, I think voting is a "decision on our future," don't you?

Lastly, I am making an observation about our society and this Kabuki dance we go through. Do you not see this on both sides? I think you'd have to be blind not to.





>> ^NetRunner:

Since when have entertainers been a "compass of political direction?"
Since when have entertainers been any more dysfunctional than your average person who gets rapidly launched into a position of fame and fortune?
Since when have self-styled sober, somber people actually been any smarter or wiser than people with senses of humor?
Since when has anyone been dependent on entertainers for decisions on our future?
Nothing you're saying makes any sense to me, unless of course you start by making some rather condescending assumptions about the sorts of people who're likely to vote for Obama.
>> ^silvercord:
I've wondered for a long time why our entertainers have become such a compass of political direction. With many of their own lives so steeped in dysfunction it speaks to our own sense of alignment that we have, in ways, become dependent on their voices for decisions regarding our future. Strange, that. Not difficult to understand, but strange.

I bet $20 bucks to Netrunner that Obama does not do it. I'll give him 1 month.


He shouldn't do it, if he does he's allowing himself to be bought in a publicity stunt for Trump. What he should do is ignore it, and ignore Trump and not sink to this asshats level. The president of the united states is not an open book for everyone to read, and every president is allowed to have some privacy. He's released the important stuff, we know hes not cheating on his taxes, we know hes never murdered anyone, and hell even though he didn't get arrested for it, the mans admitted to having experimented with drugs. If he starts buying into every request in a month well have demands for his internet history and someone will demand to know what porn hes looked at in the last 30 years.

Regardless of what you think of Trump 5 million is not chump change. I thought that 5 million was a bit low for Trump but hey the offer stands.

Its easy money for a few pieces of paper. Obama would put shitload of egg on the face of Trump and the Conservative / Tea Party. That right there would be priceless to see the right look like fools.

What does it say if Obama does not take him up on this?

That's what Obama said. His plan would cut your bill. WRONG.
Obama will get his monkey spanked on election day. The press will cry foul and the Obama media will blame it on "white raciest". There will be riots in the streets by the brothers and sisters feeding on the media lies that will be propagated by Ed Schultz and the rest of MSNBC. OWS will help with the riots since they have nothing better to do.
Netrunner will be crying


Nah man, even with Romneys bump in the polls it's pretty obvious who's going to win.
