#1 Matt Damon in Team America.

#2 He'd get my vote - if the incumbent was his opponent.

#3 Outside of Al Franken, leftist celebrities don't actually run for office. They talk about it a lot so that folks will stroke their ego on how smart they are, thats all.

Matt Damon challenging Obama from the left would cause Obama to lose the election and end Matt Damon's career. I'm not sure he's all that bright but he certainly is bright enough to realize that.

#4 Richard Simmons would get my vote - if the incumbent were his opponent.

#5 A small pile of stones would get my vote - if the incumbent were his opponent.

Inside Al Franken, there's not enough room to run for office.

Apologies to Mark Twain. ;-p

I doubt it would work that way, Glenmore. Matt Hollyweird Damon wouldn't run as a Republican in a million years.

(Though maybe we could get him to run as an independant and split the communist Democrat vote.)

#8 Outside of Al Franken, leftist celebrities don't actually run for office.

So far, they have mainly threatened to move to Canada and then not gone.

#10 Heh. This guy's actually serious.
Why not Martin Sheen? I mean, he actually played a president on TV...

Sorry. I just cannot help myself. Need some levity in this *(&^$%%&^$%

#17 Matt Damon (!) will never get elected dogcatcher. Even the young people I know scream Matt Damon! every time they see him on screen or print. The South Park creators put him in the woodchipper for good (unless he runs in California).

#18 Funny thing Mizzou Mafia, is the south park guys are his friends and only did the "Matt Damon" joke on a lark. The Matt Damon puppet was so bad they figured nobody would recognize him and scapped all his lines.

#19 Crazier script? That 3rd rate actor you elected in 1980 was about as crazy as an electorate can get. Hell, even a chimp got bigger billing...

#20 Yeah, the four years prior to him were just paradise on earth. How could we be so stupid?
Can I get fries with that, Stevie?

#22 Since you come from the land that elected Trudeau and other losers, SS, I can't say I give a rat's ass about your so-called opinion of our politicians.

Sounds like sour grapes. You're probably still pissed at Reagan for facilitating the fall of the Wall and the exposure of what a failure communism truly is.

You must still believe in the tooth fairy if you believe that bull...

#24 You know Shakey Steve, it's becoming clear to all the 'burgers that not only do you fail to grasp that you are little more than a whiny troll, but that we all realize that you have no grasp of history, economics or even reality itself. In the hopes that you are a human being, not simply vermin, allow me to kindly suggest that you seek professional medical attention for your delusions. Then maybe one day, after years of drugs and therapy you might realize that repeated the worn out, debunked lies of the left earn you no points here.

#25 Queerly enough, President Obama has recently been claiming to be this generation's Ronald Reagan. Also Martin Luther King, Jr.

It must be getting awfully crowded in his head...
