normiss 641 #4 October 27, 2008 No. I simply don't understand why any person's opinion should carry any weight to possibly influence mine simply because they have a greater access to the media. Because it doesn't. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnRich 4 #5 October 27, 2008 Well heck, that settles it. He's a famous race car driver that goes around in circles for a living, so he's obviously much smarter than the rest of us, and if he's voting for Obamer, then we all should. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even a Weatherman seems to be having no effect on which way the wind blows this year.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

skyjumpsteve 0 #8 October 27, 2008 Wikipedia does say that he is a lifelong Democrat. Also from his Wikipedia page: Johnson endorsed Senator Barack Obama for the 2008 presidential race. In an email sent to the public on October 27, 2008, Johnson wrote, "...the most important reasons I'm speaking out for Barack Obama are named Robert and Meredith, my two children. My wife Lisa and I talked it over, and honestly, we know in our gut that their future is more secure if Barack Obama is president. At the end of the day, there's just nothing more important than that." Johnson also spoke out about what he described as a lack of "integrity" in the McCain campaign. "I know what it means to run an aggressive race, but I also know what it means to compete with integrity," Johnson wrote. "Have you gotten one of these pre-recorded calls that are flooding our state smearing Barack Obama's character and questioning his patriotism? That's crossing the line, and North Carolinians deserve better." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnRich 4 #9 October 28, 2008 Quote...my two children... their future is more secure if Barack Obama is president. Oh, and he's got a magic crystal ball too! Seriously, why do people give so much credence to what celebrities say? They don't have any more insight than anyone else. And many of them, who live their lives in such isolation from the "real" world, they actually know less than most of us. I don't get it... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
