Scarlett

Hey there, independent voters—would a (prerecorded) phone call from sultry starlet Scarlett Johansson persuade you to head to the polls on Tuesday and cast a vote for her fave candidate, Barack Obama? Johansson certainly hopes so, so don’t ignore those numbers you don’t recognize on your caller ID—it could be robo-ScarJo!

JingleBells, Obama has twelve years experience as a legislator, state and US combined, versus Hillary’s eight years.  In reality, Obama has more firsthand political experience than Clinton.  You might want to try another marketing angle to promote her candidacy, because the extra wrinkles on Hillary and time spent as First Lady to a philanderer don’t add up to leadership ability.

ScarJo will have to pimp herself alot more than just a phone recording before I even begin to consider a vote for the Manchurian Candidate.

The website isn’t progressive. The stories provided are often in that spectrum, though. Silliness infiltrates everything.

Ladies when it comes to running your home, who really does wear the trousers?

Hilary Clinton has more know how in her little finger aboyt the world policies and how to get America back on its feet than Obama does. She proved that when they faced off against each other.

Obama Is young, still has alot to learn, Obama’s wife also showed how immature they really are. Her cheap comments about the Clintons showed her true colours, cheap and nasty. Ladies do you really want this or someone who knows what America needs to get going again.

Poiltics is one things show buissness is another, dont mix them. Operah, you have a shady past, you lied to the public about which way you swing, you hid for many years about that whilst conning people and making money.

On Larry King a lady rung in to hear Larry King and Bill Mahar, meaning on that case about Obamah’s wifes comments, how sad that Bill Mahar, sat there like the true idiot he is and said with a big smile ididnt understand the question.

On a last note, CNN is sunken to a all time low. How much money have been paid for the one sided barriage against the Clintons? CNN has enterd the Lies and Smut area of Operah. To sort this out American people think hard what you are doing, Politics or sleazy smut

i have never been a fan of Operah, theres always been something there that ones own intuition said be carefull watch out on this person. Many stars who have been on her show, such as Scarlett Johansson a dyke who is coming out of the closet.

For Obama theres too much glit and smut. For me when it comes to politics Clinton beat Obama hands down when they last met, and what scares me is, will Obama be Oprah’s little puppet, opening the doors for her own personel gains and and carrier. Operah’s own past is somewhat shady, Kennedy family look back in their history sleeze, smut, murder case, the list goes on and on. Obama is young and he needs to talk more Politics and not keep on giving sermons which are finacially backed from the T.V. media.

Ladies America had a great chance to have a great President in Al Gore. Hilary Clinton is of the same school, and remember how much money you had under Clinton. Now its time to have a great president who dosent need Operah, or some idiot and he is a idiot called kennedy.Ladies its time to be herd and counted. Do not be fooled by Operah lies scheaming and most of her bullshit.

These so called progressive websites are sounding more and more idiotic.
