    Because he wants Bush gone and the only avenue for that is the Democrats.

    you probably haven't seen F-9/11 but there's a scene where Moore is on Capitol Hill trying to ask congressmen to volunteer their children to serve in Iraq. Most of the congressmen run away from the camera and his questions but one of them actually talks to Moore. When asked by Moore if he would sign up his son for duty in Iraq the congressman hemmed and hawed and said his son is married with 2 kids and then politely but abruptly excused himself.

    That congressman was John Tanner, a Democrat.

    Yea, I also like the fact that Moore loves to say that we're "sending children to Iraq." Forget the fact that we have a volunteer army and that most of the recruits, while not in their 30s, are far from children.

    If the demos win the election, Moore will go right back to political watchdog of both parties.

    Election seasons polarize just about everyone.

    I thought we were talking about your assertion that Moore loves all Democrats? He also shows Daschle and Gephardt in unflattering light in his movie.

    My mistake, the "yea" was not supposed to be in my message, didn't realize it until later. That being said, can you honestly tell me that Michael Moore has not cozied up to the democrats? He was sitting next to freakin Jimmy Carter at the DNC.

    Having not seen the movie (you were right) did they tell the audience that the congressmen whom Moore portrayed in an unflattering light were democrats?
