Are you now the gate-keeper? Do you personally maintain a list of celebrities who do and don't pass the muster?

And what is the muster?

I just think that some startruck people sadly can become influenced by celebrity status, which is - well, dangerous.

I mean - really - "Matt Damon, however is far better informed." This is a perfect example of the unnecessary influence celebritydom has on some voters (and posters)...creepy!!!

As I've said, they have every reason to be allowed to express themselves. The real question is - Why are YOU listening to THEM?

How about we stick to using these boards to debate, rather than brag about which celebrity is "on our side" in politics?
