That's a good point. It helps to have a feisty motivated choir.

Excellent point, Jill .......... .......... We have a very low % voter turnout in this country. My understanding is that the movie is really being seen heavily by the 25-34 year-old set. I don't see that group as politically active. It's also an age group more informed by the television media (that is only now turning on Dubya). There's also a good chance that the movie will reach "critical mass," making it moronic to support Bush. That could then bring on Republicans seeing the movie as curiosity seekers. Then, maybe we'll start having voters change their minds. I hope you're well. /john

If the left was actually motivated to vote, we'd never lose an election. I think there are a lot more closet liberals in this country than people realize. 2000 certainly demonstrated that, with the left receiving 3.5 million more votes than the right and still losing the election. The biggest problem Democrats have had over the years is voter apathy. People with Democratic leanings just don't tend to register and vote as much as people on the right. The Republicans, on the other hand, have done an excellent job getting the religious right organized and motivated to vote, and have used other forms of propaganda like Rush Limbaugh to further their cause at the polls.
