why cant we run Martin Sheen?

[cap]

let's not have any more debates and not look at the candidate's record. Let's just drum up some commercials and run some one "presidential"?

we have just gotten stupid... I could respect a win by McClintock but Arnold, no.

1. Because he's an ACTOR, not a politician, silly....

...ummm...well....never mind.....

2. How will he have the time to campaign?

He's busy being the president.

3. That idea has been sounding good since last night

Face it, a lot of Americans will think that Martin Sheen is an incumbent president.

In addition, he can always run on his record in Vietnam without even having to mention it...He's a war hero, for God's sake. He stopped Colonel Kurtz singlehandedly!

Yesterday, I would have put a 'joking' after this.
Today I say this only HALF in jest.

4. because he is an avowed pacifist

Sheen has repeatedly said he could never hold major office, because of his strong pacifist beliefs. He knows all too well that being in charge might mean putting troops in harm's way for war or profit.

Sorry folks, but Sheen would rather be a citizen-activist than a politician.
