Why Michael Moore Should Run For President

Over the last 3 years the Green Party has witnessed some amazing growth. In 2002 alone we ran 545 candidates and won nearly 70 seats, and our candidates have received a greater and greater percentage of votes every year since 2000. We have two officials in State offices, John Eder in the Maine House of Representatives, and Matt Ahearn in the New Jersey General Assembly, and Matt Gonzalez is a quite prominent as President of the Board of Supervisors in San Francisco. Our party is the only growing party in the United States, while all the other parties have lost or remain unchanged in membership, the Green Party has grown by 27% in 2002 alone. In addition, corporate corruption, war for natural resources, and environmental disasters have brought the need for an alternative political voice to a head. We stand a chance to make a significant impact on the 2004 Presidential Election. But only, if we run a well-known candidate, with a serious message.

After much contemplation, and discussion with fellow Green Party members, I have come to the conclusion that our only alternative to a Nader campaign is running Michael Moore for President.

To get involved with this campaign visit our (preliminary) website at: http://www.cgmn.org/moore04/index.html and email mike at mike@michaelmoore.com to encourage him to run.

We're putting together a moblization at the Academy Awards on Sunday Night, spread the word and tell folks to show up outside the Kodak Theatre at 4PM http://www.kodaktheatre.com/directions.asp .

Below are the reasons we feel that Michael Moore would be a great candidate:

1. Name Recognition: This is perhaps the most important reason to run Michael Moore. Without 70 percent name recognition it’s very difficult to run someone for President. Ralph Nader has 91 percent name recognition, people know who he is and are able to identify what he believes in. Think about George W. Bush, he started off his race sky high in opinion polls because people associated his name with his father. As people became more familiar with him, his popularity declined (actually they steadily declined throughout his whole race) but he was able to pull off a near tie vote because people associated his name with the Presidency. In the 2000 election people found out about the Green Party after reading about the Nader campaign, they didn’t find out about Nader from reading about the Green Party. Due to his recent movie and best-selling book, people know who Michael Moore is, and after he wins an Academy Award (more on this later) his fame is only due to increase.

2. He knows his Stuff:Michael Moore has dedicated his entire life to documenting and campaigning on issues related to social justice. He has written two best selling books, directed two amazing documentaries, produced two television shows, and made one satirical film all relating to the pitfalls of America society. Not only that, no one can accuse him of never holding a political office. When he was 18 he ran for the school board on a campaign of firing his former high school principal, and won!

3. People Relate to Him: Now, I think Ralph Nader is fantastic, and it was absolutely essential that he ran in 2002, however many of his detractors fault him for being a little aloof. I know the man is passionate, but no matter what he’s always going to play better to the college student/perennially leftist American elite, then he is to heartland America. Michael Moore on the other hand, its impossible to remove him from the heartland, the guy is the essence of Americana.

4. Media Attention: Michael Moore is a natural “media star,” a quality that Nader himself admits he lacks. He has after all spent the better part of his life creating media, so he obviously knows what plays well in front of a camera. And he accomplishes it without a trace, not a single wisp of phoniness. When Michael Moore speaks you know it’s unrehearsed and yet his statements are still immensely profound.

5. Familiarity: The public knows Michael Moore, he’s produced two TV Shows, The Awful Truth, and TV Nation, directed three great documentaries, Roger and Me, The Big One, and of course the award winning Bowling for Columbine. He’s also written three best selling books, Adventures in TV Nation, Downsize This! Random Threats from an Unarmed American, and Stupid White Men (#1 New York Times Bestseller List in its 46th Week). Not to mention his hit comedy Canadian Bacon. Even if some Americans disagree with him, everyone knows what he stands for, and that’s a lot more then an unknown candidate will bring to the stage. If we do run an unknown, half of our time will be spent trying to familiarize the public with this individual and convince them that they are credible enough to deserve their vote.

So here is the task at hand. We must convince Michael that he should run for President, if at all possible we should try to convince him by March 23rd. Why March 23rd? It’s the night of the Academy Awards! Where it has been nearly unanimously decided that Michael Moore will win Best Documentary. If Michael takes this glorious opportunity, with millions of Americans listening to announce his campaign for Presidency under the Green Party, then we almost assuredly have 5 percent of the vote. Even if he doesn’t accept the nomination at the 2004 Nomination Convention, it doesn’t matter; his campaign will generate enough interest in the Green Party to be well worth it. Heck he can make a movie of the whole thing! It’s a golden opportunity to get the issues he sees as important out there, and to threaten the political power base enough for America to stand up and take notice.

yes do it!!! do it!!! do it!!!! run Michael Moore for president!!! & if he could get some democrat who's still got some backbone left to be his running mate, that might help swing dems over from their pathetic "party."

I heard today that at the "orientation" luncheon for academy award nominees this week, attendees were "discouraged" from "grandstanding" or making any type of political statement when onstage. Every heard in the room immediately turned to Michael Moore when they said this.

Besides deserving to win anyway for his amazing movie, I really really hope he wins so he can get up there and rip King George & his empire a new one.

If he is elected I will dissent. REAL DISSENT not just some coocoo submittion cult shit-around. That fat beaver cleaver motherfucker will have to take me down.

Yes. Green party voter.

The only person who would be a worse president than Michael Moore would be Al Sharpton.

Even you pathetic lefties cannot take this fat hump seriously. But I gotta tell ya, I would vote for him in the Democratic primary (I'm still a registered Dem from McGovern days, don't ask) just to have the opportunity to watch him campaign. A big, fat, disgusting, professioal liar. Maybe Al Sharpton could be his running mate. Jeez, I would love that.

>>>A big, fat, disgusting, professioal liar. Maybe Al Sharpton could be his running mate. Jeez, I would love that.

You know who'd love the ticket of Michael Moore and Al Sharpton even more than you would lg? That would be the Republican National Committee and GW Bush in particular.

I think GWB is already setting up to be reelected by the largest landslide vote in history. However, a ticket like that would guarantee a 90% vote for GWB.

You can buy these campaign buttons now at www.democrats.org

Lets hope all leftists will buy and wear them.

let's see if the date format repairs itself

Hitler, oops, I mean, Bush in 2004!

Vote for some other faggott you leftie cocksuckers

WELL THAT'S THE BEST I COULD COME UP WITH.
I'm such an idiot. I'll go play with myself for
awhile and sulk.

Glad to see you are gone and doing what you do best - spanking the monkey. Fuck you and your right wing thoughts. You suck and they suck. Grow up, Bush-Boy.

Whenever we liberals have nothing intelligent to say or add to the conversation, which is 100% of the time, we often fire up the ole DVD and watch Michael Moore in homosexual skin flicks before we participate in group gay sex. But, try as we may, we just can't butt-fuck like Michael Moore. He's the best! We would like to be like him.

Look, Nazi-Boy, fuck you, fuck Bush and fuck the Right Wing butt-kissing sissies. You think that war in Iraq is so great? Hmmmm?????? Then get off your fat Neocon Republican ass and get in your piece of shit SUV and find your local recruiting office. VOLUNTEER, Shit Stain!!! Get it? Put your big, lazy, smelly ass where your piehole mouth is.

PUT UP - OR SHUT UP, Pig Fucker. Go blow, Bushie-AWOL-Boy, and suck his dick (if he has one) while you're at it. What a sketch you are.

I think it's time for the Protesters along with Moore and his buddies to move back to Old Europe. Purely for their own safety of course. When our troops come back from Iraq, their going to be looking for some Protesters to fuck-up.

If the war with Iraq is so great, and being in the military and killing innocent women and children is your thing:

Why don't you get off your fat, lazy ass and go enlist? Yep, Nazi Rex, you too can serve your country. Just remember when you come home as a vet, they will not give a shit about you. Look at the Vietnam vets.

Why don't you and your ilk go to Germany? Hmmm???? Start another Nazi government. Didn't you and your family your family of Nazi assholes kill enough Jews, Gypsies and Gays in WWII?

Fuck you, Nazi Freeper Creep.

I enlisted and served from 1969 to 1972 and how did you get a picture of my mother?

Guess you got in a little too late for all the festivities on March 16, 1968. Was that what inspired you to enlist and join in on the liberation of the Vietnam people? Hmmmmmm?????

Yes, please run Michael Moore for President. The only thing that could deflate that fat windbag is the realization that only 9 other morons in the country actually agree with him. Seeing that load getting booed off the stage in Hollywood (Hollywood!!!!) was wonderful. In the past Hollywood actors supported the troops and actually made personal sacrifices in time of war. The greatest personal sacrifice that Moore could make would be to skip a lunch and mail it to Saddam Hussein's starving millions. They could be fed for a week. George Bush was elected President under America's constitution. Get over it Tubby!

Where the fuck did you get YOUR facts? Fuck you must have been watching Fux News all the time. You are waaaaaaaaaay off base.

Btw, Shit for Brains, Georgie was NOT elected by the US populice. He was SELECTED by the clowns on the Supreme Court. Wow....I guess my vote doesn't count anymore. When a gang of five can over rule a million of us common folks, something fucking sucks and stinks. Think about it, asswipe, if one of the Rhennie and the Supremes Group had switched over to the side of the people, all of us would now be spared the travesty of having King George squatting in the White House.

READ MY LIPS: HE IS NOT MY PRESIDENT. HE IS A FUCKING RIGHT WING PIECE OF SHIT WHO CANNOT CHEW GUM AND WALK AT THE SAME TIME. THE ONLY GOOD THING ABOUT HAVING THE PIECE OF SHIT AROUND IS THAT HE PREVENTS CHENEY FROM BEING IN THE WHITE HOUSE. NOW THAT IS A VERY SCARY THOUGHT.

I guess it really doesn't matter, tho. Cheney is calling all the shots and dummy is taking the spotlight. Wow....it's the Reagoon Administration all over again. Can you say, "Haig?"

Fuck off, Shit for Brains. Micheal Moore at least knows how to be human. So take your Nazi Borgs and stuff them where the mother fucking sun don't shine. And...I mean that in the nicest way possible.

BTW: Suck my dick, K?



FUCK YOU, DUFFY. Sheesh.

Whenever we liberals have nothing intelligent to say or add to the conversation, which is 100% of the time, we often resort to blaming others for our own posts because we’re too embarrassed to let people know what we really believe. Also, it’s important when adding comments on any subject here at LA-IMC that we get in “The Last Word”, because in our fragile, egg-shell, childlike minds, we actually believe that winning has nothing to do with engaging in intelligent debate, but rather ensuring that at the end of every conversation we are the last to post. Posting “The Last Word”, while having no foundation in reality (Why should we change now?), makes us feel really warm and fuzzy inside, like we won.

Since you assholes seem to be so dickless, pass these out at your next pro-war, Nazi, Freeper meeting. You need them. Oh....now I am looking for balls to go along with them cuz you sure don't seem to have any.

KISS MY ASS, SHIT STAIN!!!

MICHAEL MOORE IS A FAT ASS!!!! HE MADE UP FACTS, AND THERE IS A PETITION GOING AROUND TO THE ACADEMY TO HAVE FAT ASS GIVE THE OSCAR BACK. HE MADE THINGS UP. A LOT OF STUFF.........AND THAT'S THE TRUTH!!!!

feel
better?

How'd you get all those photos of pricks?

You and your camera must be a regular at a gay bath house.

Either that or you snuck into the last meeting of the Democratic National Committee Leadership Council and took a photo of the participants, a bunch of pricks.

Since Nader, with his limited popularity, got Bush elected (just like Perot in '92 helped to get Clinton elected), just imagine all the votes a more media-savvy Green Party candidate could siphon from the Democrats. I bet Karl Rove is licking his chops!

He needs to know. I live near him.

he should run with Dennis Kucinich, as a VP.

That's the ticket.

To get Bush reelected.

Nader, Kucinich, and Michael Moore

Triple zero

No talent, no brains, no viable ideas, nothing, nada, zip.

Coming from someone that has a lower IQ than Bush, you are one to judge.

...x, for that observation?

Why do you insist BA's IQ is lower than Bush's?

Tell me if I'm wrong: It's an irrelevant, knee-jerk insult to someone who dares disagree with you.

Yeah...that's what I thought.

There is something about people who sign their name with an 'X" Daveman. Usually they're illiterate, not to mention double digit IQ

I don't know about you guys, but that picture with all of the cocks got me rock hard. My panties are wet, too.

Are you people insane?? Bowling for Columbine was a tremendous piece of crap. Not to mention a complete pack of lies. Check this link:

http://www.hardylaw.net/Truth_About_Bowling.html

Then go read something that will help you understand the roots of the United States and why it is fundamentally different than other countries. Let's start with the Federalist Papers - Madison, Jay. It has a copy of the constitution in the appendix.

For those of you that think Michael Moore should be president you might require a little background (since you obviously need a little extra help):

Madison and Jay were contributers to the constitution's writing. And the constitution is that document that describes some of our most basic rights and freedoms (including the right to keep and bear arms).

"Bowling for Columbine was a tremendous piece of crap. Not to mention a complete pack of lies."

You are correct Bungalow Bill

Having Michael Moore for President would be about like having Circle Jerk who posts here for President, or Diogenes, or Debate Coach, or Sheepdog.

With that kind of leadership the country would quickly become a member of the third world and soon have an economy on par with Uganda's.

Well, it would be fun watching him try and run the Obstacle Course.
