#1 I'll never watch the Kerry-loving POS again.

#2 He's not a Kerry-loving POS anymouse. He actually respects American politics and is one of the few "hollywood" people voting based on their beliefs of what's best for this country.

That being said, he's voting for the wrong person.

#3 I agree with Charles, anymouse. Stewart may be a liberal, but he smacks down the system every show. We need more people like him, regardless of their political convictions.

A great current example is his smackdown of Crossfire. It's a great clip. What he says should be said to all the news people who pretend to perform a service to us citizens. If you haven't seen it yet, check it out:

Stewart smackdown

Uh, I guess 'Smackdown' is the title of this comment. *SLAP*

#4 "one of the few "hollywood" people voting based on their beliefs of what's best for this country."
Then it's funny that they keep making the same erudite, incredibly educated, and completely WRONG decision, isn't it?

If not "POS," then definitely "SFB."
And I'll stand by that.

#5 I stopped watching him until the election is over. He stopped lampooning the establishment, and started shilling for Kerry a few months ago.

Once the election is over, I'll start watching again.

#6 Yet another sign of our bicoastal betters' increasing desperation.

This election will not be close. The polls are even less reliable than their usual 4% +/- error rate would suggest. Consider:

--the LATimes' polls on the day before the Calif governor's race had Schwarzenegger and Bustamante in a dead heat. Arnold won by 17 points. Bustamante who? - my point exactly. -ed.

--various polls in the Florida governor's race had Jeb Bush up by 3, 5, 6 points. He won by 13 points.

This year, millions of people will vote their gut, which is not to be confused with what those same people are willing to tell their neighbors, colleagues, families, or god forbid, pollsters, in the weeks and months leading up to the election.

The gut issue is of course which candidate one trusts more to prosecute and win the war. The "gut" voters will tilt toward Bush by at least 2-to-1, and I seriously doubt that any of the polls have reflected this phenomenon.
