As a graduate of film school I will always express my admiration for the work Jon Voight has done.
Runaway Train is simply a classic work of acting by this very talented man.
But, goodness, but got up his @***?! I didn''t know the man was a fascist in the Bruce Willis tradition.
I just hope he doesn''t get the idea of running for President.
One fascist actor for president is more than enough.

The GOP is getting real NERVOUS...Obama is still ahead in ALL the polls. And now the BS smoke screen from "geniouses" like Voight come out flapping his hate message. GOP is a pile of smoking cow S**T and they know it. They see their end coming and just can''t accept it.

Wow !!! I think John Voight has serious issues..and not just in his relationship to his daughter. It''s amazing to me when some people can be so vehemently against someone, and so adoringly for the other. We''re all human... and we all have strenths and weaknesses. Basically I think McCain is a good man.. I just don''t think he''d make a good President.. and is way too much like Bush. Obama appears to be very risky to many.. but I like what I see and hear.. and I''m willing to take that risk. I''m sure Bush seemed "safe" at the time... and look where that got us !!! I think McCain is the same kind of safe... same-old-same-old.. more years of war and gradual decline of the USA while China, Russia, India, and Brazil take the lead. While we''ve been making war.. the country has been falling apart at the seams. With leaders like these... who needs terrorists ???

Yay for Jon Voight! Finally a celebrity that can see Barack Obama for what he is, a danger to our country. I can''t understand why so many people are mesmerized by Obama.

Angelina''s Dad Blasts Obama

Oscar-winner Jon Voight is a proud grandfather to Brangelina''s baby twins and an active political thinker. He talks with Julie Chen about the happy family and his recent anti-Obama op-ed.

He also told Chen he hasn''t spoken with his daughter, actress Angelina Jolie, since she gave birth to twins recently.

Jolie stopped talking to her father in 2002 when he said in a TV interview that she had "severe emotional problems."

*A grandfather who can''t see his grandbuddies because he said stupid stuff about his daughter and hasn''t spoken to her in 6 years-and I give a rat sass what he thinks why?
I remember when CBS told the news!

Yeah...They said the same thing about FDR - you know, the guy that saved the United States fron Communism in the 1930''s.

If Bush/Hoover continues his policies, the US will be a 3rd world economy in 20 years...

If you want the American Century to end then vote for BUSHMcCAIN!!!

Who cares what Jon Voight thinks? The only good thing he ever did was help bring Angelina Joile into the world.

I bet if Voight would have made these comments about Mccain, these ****** bags on here would have no problem with Voight. Such hate radiates from democraps and left wing nut cases. Your all evil, twisted, doomed bunch of freaks. The real enemies of America are you democraps and liberal scum. Liberalism is a mental illness.

No quarter for the righties!!!! Another one puts their shallow, ignorant brains out for all of us to see.

Anything the government does for the good of the masses is considered socialism by these morons. The National Highway Administration, US Military and VA system, and FEMA are considered to be socialist by these fools.

No right wing fool, it is about government for the people, which is the purpose of the government, jerk.

So helping out failing banks and corporations ISN''T socialism?

Who is Voight?

That doesn''t mean he doesn''t raise good points (about the people Obama has hung around with.) Of course, one may disagree with another, but still wants to hear what they say and possibly empathize. (or it may genuinely be that Obama is pulling the act with all of us rather than doing so to the New Black Panthers, et al...)
