3. song lyrics time!
Tashara - What Is The Primary Function of People Like Oprah Winfrey?

Fold your cause up nice and pretty taking care that no side sticks out further then the other. Sit there on your fucking couch and feed the public their identity. I guess it's easier to be a conformist then to have some conviction when money is on the line. Our culture is dying from homogenization because of people like you. If you have the power have the guts to use it. You sell this like a drug. Does it make you feel good, to cash your check and be paid to maintain this tradition. You said we'd be something but you're profiting off a market that you pretend to support. Why can't they see through this? We fought since Tuesday on this same small line, the only difference is the way you've lied.

5. Fuck Oprah!!!
I don't think there is anyone I despise more on morning television than Oprah. She is honestly a god to the sheepish housewives (I know it is a harsh generalization) who eagerly lap up whatever she she is spewing that day.

Here is a great example of the how the sheeple will clammer to do her will. A few weeks ago she talked about a book which was about black men who have sex with other men but claim to be straight (I think it was called "The Down Low"). The next week it was on the NYT top 10 bestseller list.

Is there really that many people so deeply interested in that subject or was it because Oprah said it was a good book? She is nothing but a hour long commercial.

I think Futurama was correct. In the future there will be a religion called "Oprahism".

6. She's a better talker than Kerry
and would make him look bad sort of like Bob Dole with Jack Kemp.

Also, no political experience. VP is not an entry-level position.

7. LOL Oprah????
Too funny.

I used to like Oprah................yeeeeeaaaarrrrssss ago. Then I learned what her real affiliation is and it's opposite to mine.

First I threw up when I learned she endorsed Arnold for Calif. Gov!! Then, while watching Reagan/bush convention re runs, I saw her in the crowd yahooing for the repugs. NO WAY. I wouldn't vote for her for dog catcher now! She lives in la la land. :thumbsdown:

10. No. I loved Oprah UNTIL....
she went out of her way to help Ahhhhhhnold steal the Ca. Govenor seat from Davis. I don't give a shit that she's friends with Maria. She betrayed the Dem party by doing that. No. Oprah overstepped on that one...no VP for her.

Kissed Arnold's ass...and helped him get elected. She can go to hell.

Plus she seems pretty shallow overall and is not at all qualified.

14. I'm so tired of
people wanting candidates because the simply MIGHT bring in votes.
What about what happens when they actually BECOME the vice president?
