Jon Voight Holds Court at the RNC »
Posted By tdrapeau 10 months ago in NewsActor Jon Voight was mobbed by the media when he appeared at the Xcel Center for the Republican National Convention's third day. During an afternoon otherwise filled with chatter and speculation about what Vice Presidential nominee, Sarah Palin, will say in her speech tonight, the Academy Award winner's presence came as a welcome respite.
Despite being squashed into a crowded hallway, Voight looked very much in his element as he took the opportunity to hold court on Senator Obama, Russia, and Georgia...

Jon Voight's opinion is like anyone's opinion .... let's all think for ourselves. The Republicans sure looked weird at the convention, didn't they? Sure, they love their country, but the fundamental difference is that Democrats place a higher value on the human condition. The gap between the have and have-nots keeps growing.

John Voight is a schmuck!

Palin may be a tough-talking and yet maternal woman, but the issue is she's still on the WRONG side of the issues. That's what everyone seems to be losing sight of with all the hoopla about her kids, etc. Also, she's a Governor who's under investigation for abuse of power. Realistically, why would one of her staffers try to intimidate the head of the Troopers to fire Palin's ex-brother-in-law if he wasn't asked to do so by Palin??? Let's not forget that if John McCain is elected (God forbid) and IF he survives his term in office, he'll reverse Roe vs. Wade and reinstate the draft, among other things....not to mention probably getting us into war with Russia. It should be totally obvious that he's pandering to the Evangelicals. He's running scared of Obama and is willing, at this point, to do anything or pick anyone he thinks will get him elected...AND...how many faces of color did you see in the convention hall last night? I counted about 5 or 6. What does that say about the Repuglican party???
People, put on your thinking caps and wake up to reality. Don't be fooled by all the hype. McCain may have been a war hero, but he's as intellectually bereft as George Bush. This country needs a President with a brain. We haven't had one since Bill Clinton and are long overdue. As far as Joe Lieberman is concerned, he's a closet Repuglican and should be shot with s--t and put in jail for stinking! If I were him, I'd bring a food taster with me when I return to the Senate. -

Jon Voight would be the ideal person to talk to especially family values, since he is estranged from his daughter, Angelina Jolie. Good job Jon. Tell us what it takes to be a good parent or should we reserve that question for your daughter? Another good role model for everybody to look up to. ROFLMAO!!!!

Let's be real about this relationship and all the relationships in America. The younger generations have fallen so low in moral standards that there is absolutely no respect for themselves, much less their parents. By the way....have Angelina and Brad married yet??? Not as of yesterday. What does that say about their morals? As far as Angelina and her father, well....I can't say that relationships for just about everyone in America are any different. This country has fallen, and will continue to fall as long as there are no moral values, no respect for parents, no respect for themselves, and especially no respect or belief in God. I agree on one point, as far as role models...they are non-existant in this day and time. Everyone in America should look to God as their role model...not to man.

Family values, Jon Voight has.His daughter Angelina, is a homewrecking tramp.He's tried numerous times to rectify the bad relationship with her, but she wants nothing to do with him.Yet, she's had three babies with Brad Pitt and adopted a few more.
Reply
Fortunately she has the money to be a goodwill ambassador and be able to afford
traveling all around the world to pick one child out of millions of starving children to adopt.
Jon Voight has been a constant...She's a schizophrenic nymphomaniac who thinks by
baring her naked body on screen to everybody in the audience...She'll make lots of
money so when the time comes she'll be able to keep her youthful looks, also known
as plastic surgery.Look, she had her lips a few years ago blown up for beauty.
Angelina wanted Brad Pitt in the worst way.So she laid down and screwed him, even though he was married to Jen Aniston.
Jen Aniston said it correct "He's missing a sensitivity chip or someting" aboutBrad.
She's right.Both Angelina and Brad are both missing senitivity chips.
I feel for Jon Voight when it comes to trying to be a parent. Sometimes you make mistakes, and the kids take it out on you .You try your best to try to help them become good persons, but no matter what, if they have a missing chip somewhere, theres' nothing you can do...Just let them go and hope they do alright.
Jon did that. There are two sides to every story.Maybe we heard Angelinas point of how she was raised, Maybe her mother wasn't as perfect as Angelina would like.Denial is not a river in Egypt. Denial hurts everyone.

John McCain largely left Obama alone during his convention , and now Obama is not only sticking his face into MCCains, he decided to go on Fox news after how many many times they asked him, on the night of McCains acceptance of the nomination. How rude. Flat out ungentlemanly and ignorant . His supporters are not protesting in peace, they are tearing up St Paul MN, what gives them that right? It's not thier city . The impact of Obamas convention speech has become null and void in my eyes when I look at how he is a hypocrite about change. If he wanted real change he would have made himself scarce like MCCain did during an opponents convention. His actions speak volumnes and it's loud and clear he has no class, in spite of a spiffy suit .

As for Sarah Palin, The same type of people casting judgement on Sarah Palin today .. lied on thier job resumes, didnt tell you about hidden surcharges, didn't tip the waitress over food the cook prepared wrong , drive with a suspended license, told you the check was in the mail , shafted you on the price of a home improvement job, bet money on a dogfight, replaced a part on your car that was not needed, switched price tags in a store, left a nursing home patient to lay in thier own urine, slapped thier wife on a holiday, never paid you the last paycheck you had coming, sued people so he could later run for president while his sick wife stood by him and cheated on her, beat the system working under the table, gave you the finger in traffic, didnt show up to DJ for your wedding, left your pet in worse condition than when you brought him to the vet ....and none of them all belong to one political party . Maybe it's the human race that needs to be reformed and women are the ones to finally bring it.-

Where were you last Friday, the day after Obama's acceptance speech, when McCain tried to overshadow the effect of that speech by announcing his running mate? Must have had your head under the same rock as McCain. (HMMM) You really need to do some research about the candidates before you go off an a tirade filled with emotion and no facts. The facts are that McCain can't even spell class due to the mud and lies he's been slinging for the past 2 months. Get a grip on life or just say "no"....

Right, because announcing his VP pick on the night of Obama's speech was away to avoid attracting attention....
As for your "judgement" about the people "judging" Palin... they're not judging Palin, they're judging her fitness to be Vice President - which is the duty of responsible citizens when electing a leader. And your criticism of "judgement" coming right after your judgement of Obama (and resulting in "judgement" of all the "judges" reeks of blatant hypocrisy.

HIS FIRST WAS DURING BILL CLINTONS REIGN AS PRESIDENT AND WE COULD HAVE HAD HIM THEN. EVERYONE IS SO QUICK TO CRITISIZE PRESIDENT BUSH. ALL HES DONE IS TRY TO CLEAN UP THE MESS LEFT TO US BY THE DEMOCRATS WHO HELD OFFICE BEFORE HIM.

jone101... I couldn't agree with you more. First of all a law degree doesn't qualify you to be president. It only assures that you have the gift to gab and can manipulate the laws we have. Bill Clinton gave the best example of how arrogant an attorney is with his, it depends what is is crap. That and a few lies to the wrong people got him disbarred and impeached. To an attorney it's not who's right or wrong, it's who can bs the best. Vote for the man that will keep us safe from future terrorist attacks. George Bush did. Many liberals to this day poo poo what happened on 9/11. Of course the same ones could give a **** less about world war 1 or 2 and more than likely spent most of their college time, if they went, protesting Viet Nam instead of focusing on an education to better America. Liberalism is killing America. Our founding Fathers could not even imagine the liberal society today and how their works have been manipulated. Great job Sarah Palin, the next VP of the United States of America.

Or one that claims to be a war hero, because he was shot down and captured. Is that all that is needed to be President? If that's the criteria, then there are thousands of eligible candidates. The only reason he picked Palin is for political reasons. He would have never picked a woman. The reason he did was to get the elusive disgruntled Hillary voters. After he's elected he won't give woman's issues another thought. Don't be so easily fooled.

Above all, it is important to RESEARCH the candidates...there are plenty of sites that are reputable. Make an informed vote....this race is very important, especially since the US is NOT looked upon favorably by other countries, is NOT economically sound, and yes, let's NOT forget our "wounded warriors" who are NOT getting the benefits they were promised. Look at what your candidate has done over the years, and vote responsibly!! A pretty face, a POW, does not give you the answers you need.

Jon Voight was trying to be nice with his comments. Sarah Palin made all of them look bad. I hope that since they have heard her speech, it will stop the stupid comments that have been made about her. Biden had better brush up on things if he is going to debate her. She reminded me of Rocky coming into the ring after Appollo when he got really mad. I for one, sure wish I had the beauty, brains and guts that she has. She will make a great VP. John McCain chose well.

I find it hard to believe that any significant number of bloggers sincerely are excited about either of these candidates. McCain is a great hero for his courage as a P.O.W., but a former top general commented that this doesn't qualify him to run the country. His intellect is indicated by his place as #894 in a class of 899 at Annapolis. That's how he got in bed with lobbyists and the Keating Five -- he is honorable, but not too bright. His running mate might be fine, but a very small town mayor who has barely gotten her feet wet as governor of an underpopulated wilderness isn't especially well-prepared either.
On the other side of the aisle we have a guy who did done nothing after being elected to office -- other than pursue another office. No record of achievement, only a record of making clear statements that can be read to support either side -- he's not against war, he is against "dumb" war (Iraq), and thinks we should send more troops to Afghanistan (a dumber war that he knows less about). His polished vacuousness makes him the paragon of electability. His running mate, too, is a professional politician. Never did anything but get into office and stay there. Knows nothing but being a senator for, what is it, 34 years? Experience, yes. But doing the same thing for 34 years means very little experience outside his sheltered gentleman's club.
So, pick one team or the other, but why not declare a truce among bloggers. These politicians s are all nice enough, and dull enough; good enough and incompetent enough; handsome enough and unqualified enough. If you can't resist, cast a vote for the pair you think will do the least damage. It's a tough call.-

In defense of Sen.McCain's intelligence you say he graduated 894 of 899. Do you have any idea of how truly difficult it is, first to be accepted, second to survive four years, and when you're a rascal, as McCain surely was, almost impossible to graduate. My son is a graduate (class of '94) and I can assure you, there is not one graduate that is not of superior intelligence. (besides a rigorous scholastic agenda, there's an incredibly difficult program of physical skills as well as learning military history and training) Puhleeeze! Annapolis was ranked the number one college by Newsweek a few years ago. It's considerably more demanding than going to Harvard or Princeton, because all those students have to do is study...military academies demand much, much more!

The problem with your analysis is that the P.O.W. plans to govern the same way that our current President (who, by most reasonably sensible accounts, has pretty much rendered the US FUBAR). The Democratic Presidential candidate's platform closely resembles that of our previous Democratic President and I think we can all agree that the differences between the last 8 years and the previous 8 years are like night and day. It's time for us to vote Democratic and step back into rays of hope and promise and daylight. Don't vote for McCain-- and slip further into a dark abyss of horror and insanity. No one could possibly think that's an appealing future for America. ;-(

I have been around a long time. I am reading all these posts and watching these convention speeches. As a white Republican I am embarassed. I watched this woman,lady and mother speak last night and I was even more embarrassed. When her hometown leaked all her business in the major media. I was rooting for her. After listening I am embarassed for her and even more angrier at John Mc Cain. Let's be real, John McCain is a loser. He's just as rich as I am. He a womanizer. All he cares about is war and drilling to put more oil money in his pocket. Now I do not care about the oil part. But a war However our army is weak right now. If we are attacked we all could die. The Bush administration has made so many enemies they are ready to attack at any moment. Guess what ? We don't have the manpower. Russia is ready to attack and if China decided join we are doomed. Besides all of the other countries Bush is at odds with. I hope all of you people blogging who appear to be a racist (such as myself) have plenty of money. If you are middle class, be ready to join lower class. If you are low class be prepared to do jail time, because the welfare system will not be able to take care of you. As much as I hate it. I am switching parties to vote Democrat and so are my rich good ole buddy boys. Reason being: I have grandchidren and great grand children. If the Republican's win there is a strong possibility Palin will become President and the Bush Adminstration will still have control. When I am dead and gone my great and grands will have to pay for the last 8 years plus another 4. This is not the time for you to be prejudice if you are a heart beat away from being broke. Remember Palin is a heartbeat away from being President . Talk all the nonsense you want. But wisen up its your pockets not mine.

Jon Voight is as ignorant as the rest of them. That would be in defining what a Strong America is. There is a difference between a strong America and a Strong Arm America. A Strong America is a financially solvent America. Without that power, we are heading towards the last days of Cold War Russia. A Strong Arm America is one where we dictate the policies of sovereign nations and bully our way into 3rd world nations affairs. That is NOT strength! This is not Post WW2 America anymore. We trained Japan and Germany to KILL us economically after that war, and they did.

The subject was Jon Voight, and I agree completely with what he said in the video. Senator Obama's solutions to our problems is pure Socialism, and that's something I do NOT want in this country at all. America is about individual rights.
Reply
I am NOT my brother's keeper. You want that, move to Cuba.
It's apparent that neither Communism or Socialism works, because it taxes everyone until they have nothing left, and it helps people by siphoning money from the tax receipts while the unethical politicians siphon off money for their "special programs" which are worthless money wasters. If it weren't for Medicare, a government run program, medical costs wouldn't be astronimical, they went up, because doctors realized the government would pay for everything and it was like a blank check, so they over charge. Wake up America. The answer is not in all of us pitching in billions of dollars to help each other, the answer is giving the individual the opportunity to use his own money to start businesses, create jobs, and watch America flourish. It's been this constant government interference, (that's what Obama wants more of) that has stifled free enterprise and dampened people's incentive to create more businesses and more jobs. Health care is NOT a right. Education is NOT a right. It's not up to me to pay for it for someone else. I make it my business to stay healthy and stay educated, and it isn't costing me anything. All the "help me I'm poor" people in this country ought to learn how to stand on their own two feet and quit whining and begging the government to pay their way in this world. Personally, I am sick of it, and Obama's speech was full of it. No pun intended. :)
