According to reports I heard this morning Michael "the Real live Michelin Man" Moore is going to do a sequel to F9/11 within the next 2 years...To "educate the 51% of those who voted for Bush" in the election

Gee imagine that

Unfortunately, he educated them the first time but they disregarded all of it when they voted.

He's also making a documentary about HMO's that I'm sure will be great.

that MAY be interesting...Though a doctumentary about April 19,1995 would be what I would like to see him do, But he won't touch that one (As others wont...I wonder "why"?)

Good point, F-9/11 could've possibly cost Kerry the elcetion. It really allienated alot of people in "Jesusland" who maybe would've voted for Kerry.

LOO - I doubt that. But, I do not think it was a ringing endorsement for Kerry as Kerry believed SH had WMD and Kerry gave W the authority to go to war in Iraq and subsequently stood my that vote. So, Kerry and the autrocities in Iraq are not easily sep. in the minds of most AND MM goes for the jugular of W and the Congress about Iraq, esp. those who supported the war. I mean MM essentially asked Kerry to send his kids to Iraq because he asked or hinted that all members of Congress who voted for the war, which Kerry did, should do so

The implication being Congress does not mind sending other peoples' kids, etc. AND - Kerry's kids certainly are not there

So, I do not think the film convinced too many that Kerry was any better than W about Iraq - but, I could be wrong and that is just my opinion

Michael Moore was a walking endorsement for Kerry.

The fact is that more people saw him on television saying that we had to vote for the candidate who wasn't Bush than saw the movie. As for the movie itself, he blamed the D's for much of the 2000 fiasco, but them off pretty easy otherwise.

Well, He did not say "okay you D Congress people get a free pass but you R's should send your kids to Iraq"

He blamed them both and harshly so.

But, outside of the context of F-9/11 - which is what I was talking about, MM did promote Kerry this time around. Kerry did not, however, acknowledge MM and wisely so IMO

But, I agree, MM was pro Kerry, even though his movie was not.

On that point, yes. But that was only a small part of the film and barely received a full two minutes.

The whole film was about how this administration lied to us about this war and the repercussions of it all; it was more anti-Republican than anything.

True and that is why I said "Well, F-9/11 was not exactly kind to the D's" instead of "9/11 bashed the D's as hard as the Bush admin."
