Colbert for President: 10 Reasons

[fuckfreshmen]

he hates poor people,what a christian he is.

[solidkundi]

Colbert and Conan O'Brien should both have their own showw...!!!! that'll be HILARIOUSSSS!!!!!!!!!!

[rob112190]

One problem...... Colbert is a Democrat

[DemonZonkey]

@rob112190 I think this is one of those people that can't distinguish Colbert the person from Colbert the TV character.

[kittygirl792]

in the next indicision (aka election) if colbert runs for president again i'll vote for him. The best scenario would be in Stewart ran with Colbert as his VP. =D i would campaign for them!

[Archimode555]

Stephen Colbert is a democrat but on his show he plays a charecter with the same name who is a republican.

this is bob, he will soon take over youtube, copy and paste

[cintraworld]

lmfao at the energy sword!!!!

[wildhias]

it doesn't matter whats the opinion of Stephen Colbert (spoken English), who cares, he is just an actor fool. But Stephen Colber(t) is a right wing republican and he is God.

[eamundo19]

I sincerely hope that you realize that his character is a Conservative (right wing) pundit, but in real life i.e. out of character, he is a democrat. Either way...he is a God.

[kittygirl792]

Cobert > god.

[Yargarogoo]

He's a democract retard.

[expo2000000]

i think he would school obama big! to bad the DNC wouldn´t allow him 2. i guess hes a very conservative democrate and wont fit into their agenda!

[darthcertde]

it would've been awesome if he was actually president

[waterwind2266]

@darthcertde My friend Jay wrote a play that we're co-directing right now. It's called "Detective Muldoon and the Potato Jangler". In this show, Stephen Colbert is president, and in addition to being co-director, I also have the honor of playing President Colbert!

[Stinkykrapz]

Uhh you do know hes actually a democrat right?

[sharkattack119]

FREE BIRD! YEAH!

[icelez]

Dude i would fly around to watch every speech

he would have so many voters!

oh is there any reason he couldn't, like did he serve?

[FluffMyGarfield]

The #1 resaon rocked! I'd vote for him.

[RukaTrinidad]

LOL Oh man. If Colbert was president, I think people as a whole would be genuinely excited when he spoke to the masses.

"GUYS, GUYS! THE PRESIDENT'S ON! 8DD"

It makes me sad, because it will never happen. ;_;

[Britishfilms101]

You don't know that! Anything is possible for an american! You beat us in the revolutionary war! (I'm British) You could walk on the sun if you wanted to! (Not really) Any way Colbert for president who is with me?

[Stinkykrapz]

Why vote for narrow-minded conservatives?

[Verrucktwulf]

good song, but in real life he is a democrat believe it or not. But I hope he is serious about the bear threat. Thats one thing you should never joke about.

[dkrr24]

real life? and where is this at?

[youthskater190]

Roflmao i luv colbert so much. He should be the govenor of california, he's a cooler celebrity than Arnold Schwarzenegger. dude how come the daily show ain't funny no more~!!?!!?!??! i want funny back, atleast jon stewart has funny crew, thats all he has vs. colbert. colbert pwns him though. Stephen Jr. is why I don't live in Russia.

[larma7]

My problem with every candidate running(including Ron Paul and Obama)is that none of them recognize the threat of blood thirsty, extremist BEARS!!! These bears are already in our borders and are meandering around, stalking our children. Colbert is the only candidate who recognizes this blatant threat! If you do not believe that bears are a threat to our freedom then look up "Bill O'reilly: bears" It seems that Colbert and o'reilly are the only ones who know how serious this threat is!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Yohannu]

Amen- why vote for libs? I wish he could be pres. @ least 4 a day...XD

[ImDbluesGirl]

I love Stewart but Colbert plays it really smart. No wonder he was invited to White House and Stewart wasn't. He is way too slick for average people to figure out he's making fun of them.

[ImDbluesGirl]

Colbert has a very independent mind and i don't think he supports one party in particular. Either way he is a winner if you think about it. Most people think he is liberal when he's not in his character and say they give him the "ok" to attack democrats and the conservatives are happy with him cuz his one of the only media figures that doesn't EXPLICITLY bash them.

[carbuncular]

I love how everyone thinks the poster of this video doesn't understand the character of "Stephen Colbert". Shows how much they read video descriptions.

[TrumpetKnifeLighter]

hey , um , maker of this movie. i hate to burst the patriotic bubble. but colbert is an extreme liberal in real life, he only plays the joke of being a conservative to mock them.(woops)

[WarcraftFilms]

you know in real life he IS A DEMORCRAT

[chocolatbuny]

i wish he could've ran. #1 reason for his sexiness:-P and i love that song free bird rocks!!!!

[SHADOWGUY12]

Well, aside for that reason, I do wish they would've let him run.

[techtvfan]

Because of effed up rules and the media, we really can't vote for who we want to. We vote for the people the media (fox news/cnn) and the electoral college tell us to vote for.

[ryrud2]

sucks he got declined from the ballot

[iychick51]

People are aware that he's a comedian and his part on the show is an act....right?

[ledzeppelin7577]

he payed 2500 dollars to be put on the democratic ballet for south carolina, but in a vote of 13-3 he was turned down the right...and what am i hearing about him and hucabee

[snorfuloops3]

i love you Steven

[kibravim]

Colbert is cool but putting down democrats to say that Stephen Colbert is better, thats not right. Colbert acts like a republican but really he's actually more of an independent party. Hilary and Barack are not weak-minded.

[Tinkerbell115458]

Sorry I don't live in the US; is Colbert really running for president??There is hope!

[gorchin2]

He was going to but was rejected by the ballot he was going to run only in South Carolina:?though

[Tinkerbell115458]

yeah thanks I found out by now :-) sucks

[sexdrugsRnR]

Hillary = bush

[TecumsehIsGod]

ur right! they both dont have balls and have gotten a major teabagging from bill clinton.

[NillaSinko]

for president....jeeee

[EvilSylv]

I LOVE COLBERT, Colbert 2012?!! :(

[xxDemosthenesxx]

He's still gonna get a shit load of votes even though he isnt on the ballot.

[ianwilder244]

ohhhh....I was mistaken, I thought this was going to have, you know, intelligent reasons. That's too bad. Oh well.

[hinataXD12]

you guys do realize that he's a liberal, right?

[jenip]

Shut yur filthy mouth :P

[hinataXD12]

lol sorry.

[Rfgordils]

Heh, I would hope most people realize that - but the truthiness just goes over some people's heads.

[SomeoneCoolerThanU32]

he was serious about running but he wasnt very sure about it obviously. dont make fun of me but took me until half through to realize it was freebird... and then i said to myself perfect song for colbert

[doniasi]

didnt he drop out of the race, i heard that somewhere and i got sad.

[Psi1]

When the covenant come to Earth, who do you think will be there to defend us? Stephen Colbert and his energy sword. XD

[pmcnutty]

This is really dumb, but #1 is true, though I'd say the same for all the republican party too. Also, "Freeeeeeeebirrrrrrdd!!!!!!"

[heavenescence1989]

damn i wish he was a conservative

[DarkGhost678]

i agree with wum he said it perfectlty he uses his show to make fun of conservatives and the liberals

[wumbovii]

Hey, uhhh, I don't want to make you seem stupid, but "Colbert" in the "Colbert" report is a made up character portrayed as a HARDCORE NEO-CONSERVATIVE.

The Colbert in person is actually VERY LIBERAL. Need proof? Watch the white house dinner party to see him attack Bush relentlessly.

This is why he plays the republican character, because it's so easy to be sarcastic and fun to mock them.

Anywho, COLBERT FOR 08! fuck both the democrats and republicans

[geneticalinsanity]

You didn't make him seem stupid.

You made YOU seem stupid.

Sorry about that.

=]

[Xenaga]

Umm.... Duh?

[WarrenERock]

"after about 40 minutes of discussion by top party officials, the executive council voted 13-3 to keep the host of "The Colbert Report" off the ballot." In USA 13 people say who the next predident will be!!! Crazy people are allowed to run, but not funny ones.

[WarrenERock]

Cobert tried to register as a Dem. I think he's serious.

[Natewolfzen]

COLBERT FOR 08!!

[BloodyInterlude]

Crap. Another thought. Stephen is indeed pointing out all of the flaws of American society and politics...but wouldn't you want a president who notices these things???

[BloodyInterlude]

Hmmm. I know Stephen's conservatism is just an act, but wouldn't you guys agree that the things he speaks sarcastically about on the show demonstrate what he really stands for? The fact that he can speak positively about them and make them look absolutely ridiculous is awesome.

[commiekiller1989]

Alright I am a republican, and to say that Colbert as more patriotism in one toenail than the the entire democratic party is fucking retarded considering that Colbert has described himself as being a democrat...and his conservative appearance is just an act.

[wilhelm88]

Hilarious: proving to George Jr. yet again that it takes more than buffoonery and ineptness for president to be funny. In fact, this is so funny that I am tempted to leave my home here in Canada just to vote for Colbert; if only I could sell my igloo.

[Tonikola]

It's great listening to conserv's pointing to Colbert and yelling "yay!". He's making fun of you by portraying your ignorance through a made up character.

You guys are just so desperate for some real comedians on your side its pathetic.

[fireseed23]

....on facebook.

[fireseed23]

Vote for Colbert, it's the only logical choice.

In the meantime, go add to the 1 million voters he accumulated in 8 days. Truthiness for all.

[m8jin]

lmao funny You guys know colbert show is to portray the negatives and flaws in america, not to point them out.... He's not laughing with you "conservatives" he's laughing at you...

[Richardantor]

This is terrible! Why would they only show a woman and a black man as examples of weak minded liberals?

[neochocobo]

I guess prejudice republican is also part of Colbert's act. Or the creator of this video is prejudice. No offense :P

[Richardantor]

Agreed.

[geneticalinsanity]

It's part of the show, I'm guessing.

I wouldn't know.

It must be a republican thing.

[Crazygreendaygal]

Geez, all of these people are saying that you don't get the sarcasm of the show when it is they who don't get the sarcasm of your video. Don't listen to them, they're hypocritical idiots. This vid was brilliant!

[JamesPromIII]

Yup and perfect song to go with it colbert 08 he has my vote

[jordin22rules]

Americans would be stupid NOT to vote for this guy. GO STEPHEN, CANADA SUPPORTS YOU!!

[INS14466]

COLBERT FOR PRESIDENT!!!

[colbert24]

correct

[INS14466]

@INS14466 yeah i take that back fuck colbert

[ihavethebest]

he's just making fun of the way the election is going, the crowded race, the movie stars bids for governor, he's moking them it's just a joke

[Sithpenguinlord]

Well, Arnold Schwarzenegger is a great Governor. With getting someone outside of the buerocracy to deal with all the problems.

[Bryanrocks0123]

actually most candidates these days use political ads that only attack the other opponents where colbert all he needs to do is go on his show and mention hes running and he gets a lot of votes

[Winnie87103]

he has more brains than anyone one this fucking website and i think it is being taken seriously.......look Arnold Schwarzenegger is a fucking governor!!!

[Sweetwater83]

OK... you are clinically retarded if you think Colbert can win.

[Kashblog]

why? George Bush became president and he is clinically retarded. Colbert could do the job 100 times better then Bush.

[skymaggot]

no question about that.

[Shadyhunter04]

I'm sure he would do a much better job than Bush has done.

[Sweetwater83]

Colbert is acting on the Colbert Report (in case some of you were not aware). This election, like any other presidential election, needs to be taken seriously, and throwing this doorknob into the mix might divert much-needed attention from candidates (like Ron Paul) who need to be heard by the American people. What roll does Viacom play in Colbert's decision to "run" for president? Think about it.

[Void890123]

Because if there's anything ron paul needs more of, it's attention.

[Lukatheist]

great song

[MRTEED]

The funny thing is, I'm sure Stephen Colbert would make a better president than the current goof in office. Considering bush was elected for a second term, who knows, maybe good ol Stephen has a chance.

[s1lenze]

Some people live in a sort of darkness, and some people are questing a life, that of living in the light, light of goodness, joy, truth, justice, and wonder.

Those creatures, living in an existence of the murky darkness, of talking points, so as to keep their greed, bigotry, and narcissism sustained, irregardless the cost to others.

Do not snipe pathetic remarks, so as to defend your murky dark domain.

GO TOWARD THE LIGHT

Support, Steven Colbert, if it makes things better!

Doin' it!

[RylyC]

no offense but we really need to take this election seriously and having a comedian as president would be the worst thing for this country, i like his show but thats what he should stick to.

[gematria79]

God you people, can't you take a joke?!!

[bigshadow4]

hes got myt vote

[stugrenouille9]

you are such a noob. colbert is really a liberal. can't you tell? or is the hyperbole not obvious enough? he's being facetious! he pretends to be conservative and you noobs think he really is conservative... have you seen the correspondent's dinner at the white house? he totally owns Bush. he is NOT a republican. he is a LIBERAL. jeez. noobs.

[sarah95pekoe]

STEPHEN COLBERT IS NOT A CONSERVATIVE! if you think he is, i pity your lack of intelligence. you think he has more patriotism than the democrats? that's not the point. the whole fucking point of his brilliant show is that REPUBLICANS are the ones who brag about patriotism but don't really have it because they're a bunch of backward facist windbags

[halofreak0130]

Actually almost no politicians can be classified as patriotic anymore. They all are either focusing on their parties without considering what is truly best for the country, or they support pluralism.

[undakai]

See, I think what you don't understand is we, the conservatives (or at least me, a conservative, if I can't speak for anybody else), already know he is a liberal. I think about the only people that don't are those who live in a rock and those who are too high to look down past their skyward noses, which is unfortunately most of the people we have running our country right now.

[Madcowbellplayer]

He's actually a conservative, outside of his show. He has very strong religious beliefs. He's in character for the half-hour his show runs. However, that does not mean that he isn't a great candidate. He can at least talk clearly.

[Sweetwater83]

Really... fuck this. Colbert sucks. He just lost a fan.

[welcometheplagueyear]

u can't just decide that based on this guys opinion.

how about doing some research

[Musician0296]

I seriously do believe people would vote for Colbert b/c he says it like it is and cuts through all the government bullshit. Plus we elected Arnold Schwarzeneger for governor and he's not doing too bad

I say *STEPHEN COLBERT FOR PRESIDENCY 2008 *

[Musician0296]

ok three things

1) if Stephen Colbert actually has a chance at presidency he has to cast off some of his satire and approach issues directly and with absolute confidence

2) he needs to give some really well thought out platform and campaign speeches

3) he should be doing this purely b/c he loves america and not for his show ratings as some people would suspect i.e. poison pill theory

[moltendarthvader]

Do you even know that Stephen Colbert is a comedian and a Republican satirist? You're an idiot....

[vito1180]

Nice i would defently vote for him. Stephen Colbert you are my idol.

[jasonhydro]

he cant hes a canadaian

[BisFitty]

Hes not canadian, he was born in washington DC

[aworkinprogresse]

wow so people who you know increased our economy and ended slavery were idiots oh no

[Sithpenguinlord]

Well, the Republican party was a progressive Liberal party and the Democrats were a hard, conservative, Southern party in the Civil War. Look up how much they have changed.

[reallytiredofthis2]

No,no,---I thought the same thing at one time, but the fact is, they were only calling themselves Democrats in response to their hatred of Loncoln. After 100 years of that they finally gave it up and resumed their true name.

[LaughDieOrLeave]

Better than any worthless piece of shit republican, they are all ignorant, all every republican has done especially gw bush ahs fucked america over. They know nothing of patriotism or war. pussies.

[jasonhydro]

except ron paul

[reggiez88]

u do realize that spephen is a democrat right?

[Eminem23007]

I will vote for Colbert for President.Not those other boneheads

[radiofan6872]

*weeps for America's future*

[ul2]

They should add steven colbert to the youtube candidates.

[MRTEED]

haha, Stephen colbert IS a democrat. The republican character he plays on the colbert report is to make them look ridiculous. Its hillarious when people think hes another Bill O'Reily.

[videoplayar]

HE'S RUNNING!!!!!

[ZenMuadDib]

STEPHEN F***ING COLBERT FOR PRESIDENT, he is America and so are we.

[ruth421963]

Ahh I liked that! Man it could happen{look at Bush}? Colbert has a mind and looks good.

I'd rather see Steven as is.....F-I-N-E. Hope & Happiness in 2008{anything beats a BUSH}.!  Ruth

[daredsox04]

Colbert for Pope!

[Colbertocrat08]

My Fellow Americans in 08 we are going to need to change and and the only person you can make it all glued together is Stephen COlbert plz heed my words and go to colbertocrat DOT com and see for your self

[underlinedbluetext]

you know Stephen probably isn't a republican or a democrat in real life right? He works hard to make his character seem confusing to people who watch the show. i mean you cant seriously believe that. Dont drag Stephen into your agenda motherfucker

[dugan426]

come on man its a joke.  The video was made with a colbert-style satirical parody. i agree colbert works hard, and is an incredibly smart man.

[underlinedbluetext]

okay fair enough. my point was that he doesn't necessarily go directly after democrats. but i see what ur sayin

[DRSAICO]

Just so you know, Stephen Colbert has, in real life, declared himself a Democrat. He really is a Democrat...just an FYI. :D

[underlinedbluetext]

really? can you tell me where i can find him saying this?... it wouldnt suprise me

[DRSAICO]

I know it's not exactly a reliable source, but I found it on Wikipedia...and I THINK it might've been on IMDB... :)

[MurasakiYugata]

*LOL* That was great. :D

[LittlePikachu]

Forget Colbert for President....COLBERT FOR RULER OF THE WORLD!

[FoxyGrandpa102]

Colbert for PRESIDENT!!!!

[moldypotatochip]

lol

[lillivplayer54]

the last reason is reason enough dude

[geneticalinsanity]

You are a strange kid. But it did make me laugh. =]

I DO like Colbert...Even if I am a weak-minded liberal. haha.
