Angelina Jolie’s Presidential Pick is Undecided

u go obama!!!

….why` is this news? lol

obama!

STFU Fuggy. Your ass posted here, so you must’ve thought it was news!

Well, that’s easy… she can’t vote for McCain since he’s so privileged (you know, being white and all). That’s how she picks her favourite candidates as well as her favourite children.

I hope the stupid Brangieloonies and Aniston loonies don’t turn this thread into a mess. They’re both so annoying.

She is looking for the winner.
It will later say that they O (s) bama, if he wins.
It will later say it was for McCain if he wins.

You mean she’s actually registered to vote?
Didn’t she brag about the fact she had never voted?Whoa,she’s seen the light.
Anyway when november comes she’ll be too busy with the Oscar campaign to waste her precious time with a presidential race.

My bet is that she wont even vote at all

even though i love her—im not really interested in her politcal allegience. the media is ridiculous—leave her alone and let her have her family time in peace.

i want obama to win but im not even old enough to vote it is HER OWN CHOICE so y is this news?

Who the he*ll cares who Angelina Jolie is endorsing? Stick to what you know- making movies.

Do we care???? I surely don’t.

angie is a smart woman! she will vote for the one who has great knowledge and interest in international foreign policy regarding humanitarian issues! God bless you more angie!

I hope Brad and Angelina don’t reveal who they are going to vote for. It’s fine to bring awareness to charitable causes. It’s not wise to clamor your political beliefs to people who don’t give a fcuk. All they do is bash you, no matter what you say or do.

i love her

IT IS A SLOW NEWS DAY AND ANGELINA’S NAME GUARANTEES HITS. This is the 4th website I have found this on and it is NOT news…just a traffic makers (and yes, I am aware I am a contributor) .BTW, just because you’re an actress, a plumber or a nose picker …. doesn’t mean you can’t have valid statements or thoughts about politics or the world around you be it your backyard or a more global concern. People really need to grow the **** up.

Thank you for saying that. The same people do the same thing on both threads. It’s getting so old and stupid. Seems to be a mental condition. Any way why can’t who she vote for be private. I would be upset if I had to reveal who I was going to vote for.

Of course she can’t afford to take side right now.You know it would hurt so badly her bid for the Nobel Peace prize.She must appear so above mean little struggles.
She’s so oecumenical,her endorsement is too precious to be wasted on either one of those common mortals.

Well, panderer that he is, I’m sure Barack Obama will come up with some kind of policy that says exactly what he thinks Jolie might want to hear. Although, he did introduce that global poverty act, which will commit the US taxpayers to billions of dollars every year from now on to fight poverty in other countries.

But, I agree with the poster above…I hope they keep it to themselves. I’m tired of celebs coming out and telling who they’re going to vote for, as if it means something to the rest of us.

And, the fact is, many Americans feel the same way as Angie. According to the polls about 10-12% of Americans have not made up their minds.

BrangelinaFan @ 08/11/2008 at 2:59 pm

————————————————————-
I don’t think you are Angelina fan at all. Some thing is wrong with you Aniston Loonies. Please get help for you self.

Angelina is popular, people like to Love and Hate her. Either way, it still makes her popular, LOL!

Obviously Angie and Brad are not revealing who they are voting for.
Best they leave it that way. Some people can hate them over what they wore last friday so if they put their political choices out there all it will do is cause nasty ugly posts thru the whole thread.

Hope we get another thread soon that is not a tab . Those Ass Us tab threads are so full of lies we might as well be reading The National Enquirer.
I really like Angie and Brad if there is no news so be it.
Hate when the tabs make it up because there are people who love to gossip about lies.

I got my Hello and People Mag with pics yesterday. Couldnt be more pleased. I cracked up at Brads few coments and the pics are so down to earth. Priceless.

What a waste of time.

Angie says, ” I have not yet decided on a candidate”, NOT ” I have not yet decided who i am endorsing”. I suppose when she decides, she will vote her conscience without making it public, as she has to work with whomever wins , in her humanitarian efforts.

I certainly have not decided if i will vote, and may decide the morning of. Some Obama supporters are turning me off with their “either or attitude”, and i am a registered Democrat.

Angie has said she is a reistered Independent, a move i am considering myself.

BrangelinaFan @ 08/11/2008 at 2:59 pm You know, I read about that in my local newspaper this morning. And to tell you the truth, it concerns me.

I mean, I don’t honestly know if I would look at my girl the same positive way if she were to come out and actually endorse McCain — a guy who not-so-jokingly said he’d “Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran” and suggested that Iraqis be sent cigarettes to “kill them off.” The man’s an increasingly-dementia ladled, hateful warmonger, who sounds a lot like her own crazy-ass, estranged father Jon.

It would tell me that she’s narrow-minded and not concerned at all with the U.S. domestic issues that are also of utmost importance in this election. And what about the other issues like women’s issues?
Shouldn’t that be a part of her voting criteria as well?

This indecision on Angie’s part, I must admit, and regretably, puts a taint on her in my view. It would concern me because otherwise, I’m a big supporter of Angelina and her humanitarian efforts.

As a matter of fact, I would prefer that she not vote at all, if she’s not going to vote for Obama. But if she doesn’t, I hope she keeps her mouth shut and not do like her crazy-ass father did and announce it to the world, because I think she’d soon realize that any goodwill towards her now would be diminished among even her most hardcore fans
*****************************************

Precisely, the fact that Angie decided to let Trevor issue the statement is beacuse her Dad insinuated that she likes Mccain more than Obama. I think she has said before that it is best for her to be neutral and independent because you need the backing of both parties when it comes to pushing for bills relating to her causes.

I admire Angie for telling people that her priorities are really the causes and plight of the Iraq efugees, which by the way are the creation of the United States, and which they should be responsible for its resolution.

Why would Angie be concerned with the domestic issues of America, when the American people are much much better off than all of those refugees, which in the first place have existed because of the war created by the US.

Even if you think Obama has less to do with the Iraq war, it is just right that Angie will not vote for him, if he will have nothing to do with those refugees. The war happened already, what is more important is how to finish it and help those that needed help.

And I think McCain’s agenda is better in helping those refugees, because he knows better the foreign situation than Obama.

As you know there are really not much difference bet Obama and Mccain in most of the domestic issues, women issue, economic issues, etc and both would be good presidents. The problem is mostly on international issues since Obama is perceived weak because of his lack of experience.

She will decide fo OBAMA,

On a better note i got my Hello and People Mag with pics yesterday. Couldnt be more pleased. I cracked up at Brads few comments and the pics are so sweet and down to earth. Priceless.

==================

I love your comments on this matter. i totally agree. Is it why Geffen is siding with JA by producing her movie “Goree girls”?

++++++++++++++++++++

I doubt that has anything to do with it. Geffen is a well-known “inglorious b#stard”. He doesn’t make day-to-day decisions on financing movies, though. For the most part oversees the business aspects of Dreamworks and does the dirty work for Spielberg, and when he was part of the main company, Katzenberg as well. David Geffen’s bottom line is always going to be his ego and money - in that order.

If you haven’t read the the December 2007 story, check it out. It’s pretty obvious that while Sumner Redstone is an old coot who’s better business days are behind him…Geffen is just plain mean and petty. Geffen brokered that deal, then when Spielberg didn’t think Par was defferential enough to him he got mad and when Spielberg is unhappy, then Geffen comes in to make Steven happy. Brad Grey is just another casualty of Geffen’s ego.

http://www.vanityfair.com/politics/features/2007/12/paramount200712

Angelina will never tell who she will vote for because her causes depend on whoever is in office. The media always ask this question, this is nothing new. Also, she issued this through a press statement which shows there must be alot of people asking her this question.

BTW - If you don’t have time to read the entire VF article you can get the gist of it from the author in a video at the link below. You’ll notice that Brad Grey’s name is NOT mentioned in the video. He’s just the poor schlub who was dumb enough to take the job and get stuck between Redstone & Geffen. I’m sure there’s been many a day in the last 3 years when he wished he was back at Plan B with Brad.

Why don’t you show your intelligent side all the times, like you just did in this post, Cook? As my name shows, I’ve been on JJ for a while and have read some of your posts I really like. But sometimes you are just annoying as h e l l.

To PT. Thanks for the answer. Do you know DG is also rumored to be buying the LA Times?

THIS IS SO NOT NEWS. WHO ANGELINA VOTES FOR SHOULD BE OF NO MORE VALUE THAN ANY OTHER PERSON. FRANKLY, HIGH PROFILE PEOPLE SHOULD NOT PUBLICLY SAY WHO THEY ARE ENDORSING. WHO JOH EDWARDS IS VOTING FOR IS OF MORE INTEREST.

Since when is Mr. Nielson a political advisor? ***rolling my eyes***.

Who cares?

Jennifer Aniston is a Barack Obama supporter. I wonder if Angelina knows that? I read where she sent a donation.

#30 S
As an Ambassador Angie can hardly keep stirring up the pot. Ambassadors are suppose to facilitate change in a gentle, non-violent way–harmony etc.
She can hardly run around calling the government awful, talk openly about politics etc., without offending people world-wide that are in a position to help aid the refugees.
Her job is to negotiate, to create a harmony for discussion. Not rile the world’s leaders up.

Big Angie fan and I would be really disheartened if she, as a woman, supported a Republican who wants to take away our rights over our bodies. I also disagree that we should stay in Iraq. I hope she is as anti-war as I imagine her to be - and staying in Iraq further fuels war. We can save refugees even if we are out of there. So if she is properly quoted - I have to disagree with her on Iraq. We should be out of there! They don’t want us and our soldiers are dying.

I hope she won’t vote to John Mc C. The man is going to put us in another war in Middle East. I certainly don’t want to see more people from America or Iran to die.

The man is going to bomb Iran,there will be more refugees if Angie cares about this issue which i’m sure she does.

PT, DG is David Geffen. That’s why that E Snead is so pro JA. She knows who is going to be her boss.

What’s that got to do with the price of tea in China? X’s support doesn’t mean jack. That’s why you don’t see Barack Obama on the nightly news and CNN saying, “Golly…I wonder if I have Jennifer Aniston’s support! Michelle, call the ho and find out!”

On the other hand…if Obama finds out he’s got Angie’s support, he’ll name-drop like a mofo. And so would McCain.

“On the other hand…if Obama finds out he’s got Angie’s support, he’ll name-drop like a mofo. And so would McCain.”

Too true and that is the crux of the whining. The fact that AJ is an influential, UN Ambassador has a few up in arms. The fact that an op piece was written about her and her decision to not name who she is voting for, has gotten some in a tizzy. How dare this woman, who is a mere celebrity, have such clout. At the end of the day, we are responsible for our own voting decisions.

# 85 an oldie @ 08/11/2008 at 5:32 pm

+++++++++++++++

Duh. LOL. Sorry…I completely missed that. Now the Goree Girls question makes sense. Okay, Geffen doesn’t oversee day-to-day operations at Dreamworks. He’s the “big picture” guy and mostly retired, except for when Spielberg is unhappy. He’s got people who’s job it is to keep Spielberg happy and when he feels that Spielberg - or Katzenberg - isn’t getting respect, then he’s all over the people at Par. Katzenberg technically has a separate deal from Dreamworks and the deal for Dreamworks Animation runs through 2010 or 2011, so for the time being he’ll be staying when Spielberg/Geffen leave. Katzenberg will probably opt out in 2010 and rejoin the other two are the reformed Dreamworks, but that’s a problem Par will have to deal with later.

So bascially what I’m saying is that Geffen has no clue that Dreamworks has signed on to POSSIBLY produce a movie that X is producing and may be in. However, that’s a moot issue, because all of the projects at Dreamworks that are “in production” when their contract with Par runs out on Dec 31, 2008 STAY with Par. Ergo, if I were Geffen, I’d greenlight Goree Girls, get it in the hopper…and dumpt it on Par as a parting gift. Meanwhile, just because Dreamworks has greenlit something before they leave…doesn’t mean Par has to keep the project. They can very easily cancel the production and take a loss on whatever money has been put into the project. And since it was a movie X was producing and possibly starring in…I doubt it was ever slated for more than $20-25MIL to begin with. It was a first-look deal, not a sure thing.

I rest my case judging from the last comment from the hen. AJ is just one woman. There is no need to give into conspiracy, voodoo and ranting.

Then she should keep her mouth shut, cause in her attempt to keep herself “neutral” but still concerned with these causes, she’s coming across as someone that is very naive for a UN ambassador and whose promotion of international justice is rather tepid.
Being a “humanitarian” and somewhat diplomat, she should think of better ways of saying she’s not telling who she will vote for, since both candidate’s positions on international issues are pretty clear by now and the fact that she even suggests that she still hasn’t decided just shows how involved she really is.

… as soon as jolie say’s “obama”… hundreds of loons will run and vote for him. lmbaoo

in this case, she should vote for mccain cause his foreign policy is better than obama’s.

i feel sorry for “you”
i am not even metioning your name. You have no life.
checking on the site 24/7 thinking people really care what you have to say. I hope that you are just a teenager…..otherwise you need to kill yourself.

68 joy @ 08/11/2008 at 4:31 pm

She is actually a registered independent and her views are the same as McCains concerning the middle east.
I don’t know about JMcCain, but AJ would prefer the troops to stay to help the roughly four million refugees come back and resettle in their home country. That would win a lot of hearts.
I think they should stay to build what they have destroyed, not to fight.

It wouldn’t surprise me if she votes for McCain. I also think Obama’s “plan” and views are a bit distorted and uninformed.
Since Hillary lost, I’ve stopped following the campaign and only
pick up bits from the main news, and I hear that Obama has been flip-flopping. I guess he needs to move to the middle from the extreme left to win more votes.

See, this is what I hate about bloggers and the media… In the original story posted yesterday it stated that both Obama and McCain were trying to court her so that she would endorse them. Thus she released the statement printed above… Its not like out of she blue she asked Trevor to release a statement to let the world know her indidcision about the candidates. So all the idiots stating who care, well Obama and McCain does..

84 question @ 08/11/2008 at 5:29 pm I am disappointed at the Angie’s fans who do not understand what she’s saying. First, she was asked a question about who she’s supporting and like a true ambassador she has registered as an “independent”, the true meaning of which she’s not on any side. It makes her work well with whomever is in power. I don’t think she will publicize her preference, she will just consider someone who favors refugee programs and the things that interest her. She does not support war, she supports taking care of the refugees.

That is it!
Now the war over South Ossetia has made more refugees! Thousands have fled. I’ve been following that. Russia will probably occupy South Ossetia. I’m so glad Georgia isn’t a member of NATO!!!

Re: #63
An oldie,
Re: #55 cook
Not that cook needs defending but more like deciphering then transcribing his posts since he writes in “cook dialect” only known to him and a few followers LOL…no offense big fella.

I think what cook is trying to state is that AJ as an international representative of the UNHCR, which in theory has an “apolitical” agenda, should be apolitical in her public persona because it would be inappropriate and a misuse of her position with the UNHCR. She technically is not their political spokesperson but a “messenger of awareness.” By clearly having stated her concern is for refugees…at this point it is not clear what Obama or McCain’s position is regarding refugees, therefore AJ cannot really support one or the other unless and until one or both of them focuses and details specifically on the refugee issue as a separate entity from the many other complex issues that entrench any country engaged in conflict.

Dosn’t matter whom she votes for. I still love her.

Why do people keep supporting this idiotic woman? She has never done a single nice thing for anyone without immediately issuing a press release, giving a press conference, staging a photo-op or sitting down with CNN to let EVERYONE know how she just did something nice for someone. When that’s not enough she releases her tax returns which doesn’t feed or shelter anyone. It just puts a dollar amount on her ‘generosity’. We hardly ever get any follow up on her ten million causes. What happened to the orphans in Cambodia, or the people of Namibia, or the refugees in Iraq? I bet they are still orphans, still refugees. We hardly ever get a phone number or a website address so we can help her help these people w. There are many ways to help people without keeping the attention on focused on herself. But for Angelina, what would be the point of that if you’re a shameless self-promoter?

WHO CARES! I’m undecided. I guess I’ll send out a press release.

First off, registered independent voters are, people who have registered to vote but are not affiliated with a political party.
Secondly, there is no need to start a talk about JA, she’s not relevant to what the topic is.
Thirdly, chris if you want to know about Angelina and her humanitarian work, there are many people here to help you, you don’t have to insult Angelina to get an answer.

I’m with #123/Chris! Everytime she wants someone to know she’s up to any good, she’ll talk about it or release info on it. Charity and humanitarian work isn’t about the glory.

The amount she gives and the time she puts into stuff isn’t even anything of much substance, compared to how much she wastes on herself and her tribe. Also considering she is grossly overpaid, she could certainly do more.

I suppose her excuse and the excuse of her fans for seeking publicity is, she’s bringing awareness to the cause(s). She can do that without pointing every little thing out and patting herself on the back.

chris, whatever and werd, Angelina is one of the biggest stars of her time. What she does is news. If you don’t like it, don’t get on her thread, don’t watch her movies and don’t listen to what she has to say, it’s simple and you’ll avoid her. What she does has practical significance to a lot of her fans, like the people she has touched by her work. I guess there is nothing you can do about such people who sincerely care about Angelina. Give it up and don’t waste your time.

regardless…..I don’t think either candidate- be in Obama or McCain. They are not going to be any good for the mess our country is in!

#127 question

Dayum, I love your post!! But you do realize that making sense and giving facts in a polite but firm way, correcting irritable people who haven’t a clue and prove it with their erroneous posts in bitter tones, and your trying to be helpful will only brand you a “loony” by those who insist on such nonsense as “Angie only does nice things to promote herself”, and all the people here who obviously care deeply what she is saying but can’t fathom that perhaps a reporter or two asked her the questions she is answering.

I hope you keep posting, as you are spot on.

Some people have no clue as to what she does or doesn’t do. People should read up on some of the issues Angelina’s talked about rather than juding her based on your own ignorance. She champions refuges who’s been displaced by political interests, which some of that’s been done by Bush administration.

She maybe an actress, but she has a cause that goes beyond the surface. Inteasd of criticizing her every move, people should make an effort to gain some understanding of the global issues that will affect your own life and the lives of your children.

Bunch idots! Most of you are too short sighted. Pray that your children would have better understanding of themselves and their surroundings!

You do not live in this world all by your stupid self. Like it or not, you are inter connected to the rest of the world. Thus, better be aware of the happenings in the world.

First of all Angie, GET MARRIED, you and Brad are not setting a good example for your children.

Secondly, REGISTER TO VOTE, AS A DEMOCRAT
McCain is a warmonger and he has no idea what to do about the economy. How can any rational mother even consider voting for McCain.

VOTE FOR BARACK OBAMA!

#139, #132 and probably plenty of others I don’t have time to look through all the comments of. Why are you voting for Obama? And “I want change” isn’t a real answer. It’s what people who don’t know say. I’d really, really love to hear why you people want to vote for him.

I get the feeling there is a lot of bandwagon voting this time around. And depending on which celeb is endorsing who, is how some people are going to vote.

OH GoD the suspense is NOT killing me. Please, you couldn’t get that bia within 50 ft of pulling a republican lever but she likes to play politics for the same reason she sells pics of her kids to bring attention to her causes (or stay relevant :-/)

Same troll over and over. Give it up troll. If you have to say the same thing with different names, then you are getting paid minimum wage.

#84

question,

Very well said. It seems some fans will probaly start “hating” her if she does publicly “endorse” who they support. Never mind the issues sh believes in.

You have up to the time you punch your choice on the ballet box to choose a President or decide who to vote for in the various categories. So it is probably a good idea to study all the issues.

cook @ 08/11/2008 at 6:33 pm Orchid,

Hi…if you aren’t following the race since Hillary left, I believe it’s uninformed and irresponsible to pay attention to hearsay about Obama…the phrase “sore loser” comes to mind for those Hillary people not getting over or are intending to punish for Obama’s being selected by the Democrats
#######

Oh, please. Give it a rest. There are many, many people who know Obama very well and have a lot of problems with him. I’d like to know how many of his rabid supporters really know his actual Illinois State Senate record as well as his lack of a record in the US Senate. There is simply not a lot there.

For instance, Obama has issued troubling statements about a woman’s right to control her body, his proposed “solution” to Iraq as well as the rights of other minorities like gays and lesbians. His use of rabid and ignorant homophobic preachers in his past and present campaigns is shameful. The misogyny rampant in his campaign and the smearing as racists of good and decent people with decades long work on behalf of minorities as racists for no other reason than to wrestle away African American Clinton supporters is - in my book - almost unforgivable.

There are many reasons to not want to vote for Obama. The scare tactics of the Obama followers don’t work with people who have lived through decades of elections. As long as the dems hold the Senate and take the House, we should be alright.

As for Jolie, what she said was perfectly appropriate and wise for a rep of the UN who must work on a bipartisan basis for the good of her organization. I also agree that we cannot just pull out completely. The blood bath that would follow would be on our heads. I remember our pull out of Vietnam all too clearly. As much as I actively opposed the Vietnam war, I still consider our method of abandoning the south the way we did to be one of the most shameful episodes in US history. I don’t want to repeat that. No one who cares about other human beings would want that repeated.

This is an old Angie quote being used to answer a new question. Why does Angie never get the benefit of the doubt. Come on AJ fans. Stick up for our girl.

To think my vote was with Obama now after reading these comments l dont think l want to.

I just heard Angie’s dad on The Factor. There must be other conservatives in Hollywood. It’s just that the others don’t want to say it, while Jon Voight is not a young guy trying to make it in Hollywood.

I never knew that the McCains have adopted a daughter from a third-world country.

Once expected to star Tom Cruise, the Columbia Pictures espionage thriller will be redrafted by screenwriter Kurt Wimmer as a star vehicle for Angelina Jolie. Philip Noyce remains attached as director and Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Sunil Perkash are producing.

Jolie is close to a deal to play the title character, a CIA officer who’s accused by a defector of being a Russian sleeper spy and must elude capture long enough to establish her innocence.

Cruise had long flirted with the project, but that ended recently. The well-regarded script had several male movie stars circling.

Jolie took a liking to it, prompting the studio’s decision to rewrite it. Sources said the project won’t require that much of an overhaul to suit her.

After Universal beefed up Jolie’s role in “Wanted” and then marketed the action film squarely on Jolie’s shoulders and watched it gross $132 million domestically, Jolie reestablished in the wake of “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” that she is the rare female who is viable in an action genre that has been almost the exclusive domain of men.

Hi…if you aren’t following the race since Hillary left, I believe it’s uninformed and irresponsible to pay attention to hearsay about Obama…the phrase “sore loser” comes to mind for those Hillary people not getting over or are intending to punish for Obama’s being selected by the Democrats…
——-
cook, I don’t have a vote.

I used to follow everything when Hillary was still in it, because it’s SO interesting to see a woman running for office, but stopped after she lost. It was good actually, because my eyes and ears were hurting! It was too much!

Now I watch the news and I heard that Obama has changed his views on things (flip-flopped) which is understandable. He IS ultra left and HAS to move to the middle to win more votes.
Hmmm, I suppose McCain has to move to the middle too, but is he far right? I hear he is not conservative enough for many Republicans.

Oops, I must rerwrite that paragraph!

Hanging out with hotties all in a day’s work for Adriana Barraza

You’ve worked with your share of hunks.
Gael García Bernal [in Babel and Perros] is a total pleasure. As for Brad Pitt in Babel, I mostly talk to him on the phone. I was in Miami, and he was in Marrakech. But I did get to meet him, and I have to say he is just as good-looking in person as he is on screen. Maybe more. You don’t realize how tall he is. He was very courteous, a gentleman.

Third, STFU!

NEW THREAD

I doubt that anyone really cares who Angie is going to vote for. It is my opinion, after reading a few of these threads, that the average age of the brangelina fan is about 12 or 14 so they are not even old enough to vote. Those with a little more maturity would not be influenced by the voting habits of celebrities.

m @ 08/11/2008 at 8:52 pm
hmmm. I think you got lost and looking for the ZacChace thread. If you have been reading the threads, then you will know that the BP and AJ fans are well-informed, committed to various causes and international Peace.

to whom it may concern,

Yes, I’m very serious…there are many who know the records of most campaigning for the top job…

…it wasn’t very long ago that the Bush campaign and other Republicans cut Mccain a new a sshole, and like a good sheep this time around, he has fallen in-line…In 1995, I could’ve voted for that Mccain, Chuck Hagel, and John Warner…the other two are still good but not this new Mccain.

I voted Clinton twice and by the time the world learned about his bulls hit shenanigans, alot of us paid closer attention…then, ultimately in 2000, the Clintons selfishly disrespected and ignored Gore’s challenges for their own later political pursuits…unforgiveable to me and a lot of others…Hillary followed along, voted for that war in Iraq errantly like a sheep without a conscience and trying to seem tough…She would probably vote AGAINGST a woman’s right to choose if it would get her the nominee and explain her decision later…She has always taking advantage of her power over females.

Barack is as credentialed as anyone else running…Why not give him a
chance?…He has been consistent with what most Americans and the World can see and has withstood challenges brought on by people associated with him for years to the contrary and has made it clear, this is his opinion and not mine…Noone who isn’t a sheep agrees with everything their pastor or bishop says.

I haven’t just got interested in my civil duties since Angelina was in grade school, I was taught at home many years before and have always participated in civil affairs…I’m selflessly okay with my choice.

who cares what hollywood elites think, they have more money then the president, they run the country more then the president.

“Edwin A. Salt” will undergo a title change, and if everything falls into place, the film shapes up as a return vehicle for Jolie, who recently gave birth to twins. Another candidate for her return is the Lionsgate drama “Atlas Shrugged,” which has been adapted by Randall Wallace from the Ayn Rand novel.

Jolie, who also provided a lead voice in the DreamWorks Animation hit “Kung Fu Panda,” drew strong notices at the Cannes Film Festival for her starring role in the Clint Eastwood-directed drama “The Changeling” for Imagine and Universal. That film opens in late October.

This is great news!! Another Jolie film I’ll look forward to. I can’t believe they’re changing the male character into a female. That just shows how in demand Jolie is in Hollywood.

i dont understand some fans why is so big deal who AJ vote for..

If she choose MCain or Obama is her right.. nobody can dictate her who she wants to vote..

123 chris @ 08/11/2008 at 6:57 pm

Why do people keep supporting this idiotic woman?
Because we like her on the screen and she does good work outside Hollywood.

She has never done a single nice thing for anyone without immediately issuing a press release, giving a press conference, staging a photo-op or sitting down with CNN to let EVERYONE know how she just did something nice for someone.
If you’re referring to her UNHCR job, IT IS HER JOB to be in the news, issuing press releases every time she has done something to draw attention to the refugees. Actually, I read that it’s the local UNHCR branch that takes care of the press release after her visit.

When that’s not enough she releases her tax returns which doesn’t feed or shelter anyone.
You can read in her UNHCR fact sheet that she donates to their projects, which are about feeding and sheltering refugees.

It just puts a dollar amount on her ‘generosity’.
I hope other celebrities with as much or more money, who are not donating yet, will follow her lead.

We hardly ever get any follow up on her ten million causes.
You can find plenty of information on the net, but I don’t think you’re really interested. I think you just want to bash her. What has she done to YOU?

What happened to the orphans in Cambodia, or the people of Namibia, or the refugees in Iraq? I bet they are still orphans, still refugees.
That is a very dumb thing to say.
Not one leader, not one country can solve the refugee crisis, or place all the orphans in homes, overnight. It takes the combined effort of many countries over a long period of time to do that, but every little bit that is done helps.
What is sad is that as soon as a number of refugees are settled in other countries, new ones are created by wars, like now in the war between Russia and Georgia.

We hardly ever get a phone number or a website address so we can help her help these people w. There are many ways to help people without keeping the attention on focused on herself.
If you really want to help, go to the UNHCR website, and there’s Brad’s NOLA housing project too.

But for Angelina, what would be the point of that if you’re a shameless self-promoter?
She’s staying home with her babies, but people talk about her!
People are interested in her. Including those who claim not to like her.

JANE @ 08/11/2008 at 7:17 pm Angie has turned me against her. If she can’t see how detrimental voting for McCain will be and that she should vote for Obama, she is not the person I thought she was.

At least Brad can see the light, and is supporting Obama.

Angie is a disgrace to not have made up her mind to support Obama. Shame on you Angelina Jolie. I would hate to think you are like you disgusting father Jon Voight.

____________________________________________________

Gee.

This kind comments really made me not want to vote for Obama.

Cult that much?

Please, please do not include Angie to all the dirty politics.
Angie I know you are smart enough to stay away from this foolishness.
Politics…too dirty.

At any rate, whoever you pick, I wouldn’t change my admiration to Angie and Brad and their family.

Just stay away from politics.. Not worth it.

Orchid might want to turn off the “bold” on her computer after her rant and before she pretends to be Chris.

I have to bold my comments to separate it from the post I’m responding to. Not only do I think you’re drunk, but you’re not very bright.

Politics just like religion are two controversial topics that cause heated arguments. Now that politics is being discussed in this thread, it surely has heightened ones emotions, as everyone has his own choice of candidate.

In my opinion, I see nothing wrong about Angie’s statement that she’s still undecided yet on her presidential candidate. I think she issued that statement thru her political advisor maybe because she’s always asked about it. Just like any American citizen, Angie has every right to voice her opinion. That’s the beauty of democracy, right? Yes, she’s a popular celebrity, UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador and a member of the prestigious Council on Foreign Relations, but she’s still FIRST & FOREMOST a U.S. citizen who must weigh certain issues of the two presidential candidates before she chooses. Besides, every citizen is asked, one time or another, who’s his candidate. So, Angie is no exception. It just so happened she’s very popular.

As far as I know, she said this before :

“Everyone thinks that I have made up my mind…..but my decision is still very much open. I have listened very carefully for what Obama and McCain stand for, which is something that every voter should do. I will make my decision only after I know what both candidates plan to do in the areas that are important to me.”

My understanding is she’s not trying to convince or force anyone, her fans, people, to also choose who she decides to vote. Angie will not also like it, that her fans will just follow her choices just because she said so. Let’s not judge her just because she issued a political statement.

Whether she’s for McCain or Obama, she will definitely displease someone. It’s like a case of “no way out” or “damn if do, damn if you don’t” kind of thing. Anyway, she’s no intention to please everyone. Remember, she’s a very independent woman

I think what she’s driving at is SHE IS HOPING THAT EVERY VOTER SHOULD THINK WISELY BY LISTENING TO EACH CANDIDATE’S PLATFORM OF GOVERNANCE BEFORE DECIDING WHO TO VOTE FOR. THAT PERSONALITIES ARE NOT ENOUGH BUT TO STUDY WHAT EACH CANDIDATE STAND FOR.

chris @ 08/11/2008 at 9:20 pm Arora. I have just as much right to be on this thread as you do. Using the STFU statement against says a lot about what kind of un-democratic person you are. We are all entitled to our opinions, including me. I work in the entertainment industry and have actually met her. She is a self-absorbed nutcase, like most celebrities. Very few of them do something out if the goodness of their hearts. Almost all of them are in love with their own publicity, including Angelina.

=====
So i hope you included in your list Oprah Winfrey, Bono, Shakira, Madonna, Gwyneth P, Jennifer A. to name a few because all of them announced their charities they involved in. And you said your work in ENTAIRTAINMENT INDUSTRY?? TED C??? LMAOOO!

This is exactly what happens when ignorant people start to express their opinion based on their limited/lack of knowledge. Or maybe just another hater complaining about everything.

Correction:

The world loves a pretty face.

A US leader of either party would bomb Iran if he has to, and if Israel does it, the US leader of either party will back Israel.

A US leader doesn’t have to send cigarettes to other countries. Since more and more western countries outlaw smoking, the cigarette manufacturers sell their cancer sticks in third world nations. It’s up to these third world nations to reject them.

Angelina’s main concern is the wellbeing of refugees, especially the children. They need to go back to their home country (or settle in another country) and go to school. The troops in Iraq can be of great assistance in bringing the Iraqi refugees back to Iraq and help them resettle. After all, it’s the invasion that created the refugees.

God bless Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt and their beautiful family always.

I think your late night posting is robbing you of rest and making you delusional. The ONLY thing your irrational rant is convincing of is that you don’t like Angie. Boo hoo. A waste of words and a disposable post. Next! (Can’t one of you fools at least be funny?)

Their are so many ignorant people who think obama is awesome. WHY!!!! WTF has he really done? McCain loves America! He will keep us safe! Palin ha ssaved Alaska tons of money, she will help the economy. And Angelina has the same values as the McCain family, They are so passionate that they have adopted children of poverty and have taken them in as their own.

Why are people for obama, because he seems cool. That’s stupid, and not as important as having love for our country!!!!!!! When I think of Obama supporters, I think of the movie idiocracy!!!!! Obama seems nice, but his wife admitted that she wasn’t proud to be an American! I could go on, but I am busy!

Just think for yourself before you vote! Watch their speeches! research both of the canidates fully! Don’t be a follower and vote for someone just because they seem cooler! That is ignorant!

Also, McCain is not the same as Bush. If people would actually do the research, they would see that their veiws are different on MANY things!

And our country is not racist!!! I am sick of people saying that, because that is stupid. I am black, I am not voting for Obama and obviously I am not a racist. What is racist is people voting for him because of his color alone!

I have traveled all over the world and this is the least racist country. Our country is built on accepting different races and freedom. If you travel, you will notice how diverse and wonderful this country is.

Do the research, are you for the same things as him? Will he keep the country safe? Will McCain keep us safe! YES!!!!!!! I don’t want to have our country bombed again like Sept 11th, so being safe is my #1 priority. And I know that McCain has always and will always love this country!
