The following are their choices and the corresponding plot outlines as described by the Internet Movie Database. Do any of the movies offer new insights into the candidates? [color="#FF0000"]Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona:[/color] "Viva Zapata" (1952) -- "The story of Mexican revolutionary Emiliano Zapata, who led a rebellion against the corrupt, oppressive dictatorship of president Porfirio Diaz in the early 20th century." [color="#0000FF"]Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-New York: [/color]"Casablanca" (1942) -- "An American expatriate meets a former lover, with unforeseen complications." [color="#FF0000"]Former Mayor Rudy Giuliani, R-New York:[/color] "The Godfather" (1972) -- "The aging patriarch of an organized crime dynasty transfers control of his clandestine empire to his reluctant son." [color="#0000FF"]Former Sen. John Edwards, D-North Carolina:[/color] "Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb" (1964) -- "An insane general starts a process to nuclear holocaust that a war room of politicians and generals frantically try to stop." [color="#0000FF"]Gov. Bill Richardson, D-New Mexico:[/color] "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" (1969) -- "Two Western bank/train robbers flee to Bolivia when the law gets too close." [color="#FF0000"]Former Gov. Mitt Romney, R-Massachusetts:[/color] "Raiders of the lost Ark" (1981) -- "Renowned archeologist and expert in the occult, Dr. Indiana Jones, is hired by the U.S. Government to find the Ark of the Covenant, which is believed to still hold the Ten Commandments."[/quote] [url="http://www.cnn.com/POLITICS/blogs/politicalticker/2007/02/08ers-weigh-in-on-their-favorite.html"]http://www.cnn.com/POLITICS/blogs/politica...r-favorite.html[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer_Rice Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 This has got to be a joke, right? Or, are each of our pols so calculating that they'd naturally pick a movie which reflects their idea of political correctness? If so, then why not: Barack Obama: Jungle Fever 2, shelved Spike Lee joint about the offspring of Wesley Snipes and whoever the hell that hot Italian chick was.

Guest BlackJesus Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 [color="#FF0000"][b]McCain[/color], pandering choice. Likes mavericks, pandering to hispanic voters. I wonder if he is in favor of the Zapatista Liberation Army in Chiapas who are against free trade ? [color="#FF0000"]Giuliani[/color], The Godfather. Feels government should be an aristocracy of powerful and cold blooded men. This helps because of his close ties to bldg 7 on 9/11. [color="#0000FF"]Edwards[/color], Dr. Strangelove. A hint to the anti-war movement. Also he is saying "look, this film is becoming reality with a psycho in the whitehouse". [color="#0000FF"]Clinton[/color], Casablanca, wants to be all things to all people. She also wished Bill actually loved her ... and her penis. Dumb cunt. [color="#0000FF"]Richardson[/color], Butch and Sundance: He's tough and willing to fight even against insurmountable odds, because lets face it = he has no chance. [color="#FF0000"]Romney[/color], Raiders: He's all about the mumbo-jumbo pseudo-scientific hokum. He's not a politician he's an adventurer like say Joseph Smith from his magical underwear cult.
