Sam Waterston on Unity08

[whitekong7869]

Third primary is needed.

[sweatintotheoldies]

Yeah, how's that hope and change working out for you, Moron!! Hollywood is filled with idiots like this. They were duped into thinking Obama was going to be different. What a load of crap they are! Hahah

[whereismybailouttv]

Give him credit for being on the few actors to consistently (and intelligently) make his case for more parties. The U.K. has a multi-party system. New Zealand has one. Australia has one. All of them has coalition govts. and are doing quite well (thanks very much).

What's wrong with that?

[AmericaTops]

Sorry, 'new504cc' you obviously have some sort of axe to grind. Give it a rest, please! Let the folks at Unity08 do what they want to do, and if it works - God bless 'em! Since I don't remember much about Unity08 being a "force" in the 2008 election, I hope they're continuing to gear up for UNITY12 !! Or have they been effectively replaced by the Tea Party movement, which is a REALLY GREAT movement? November 2010 is coming... HOPE is almost here.

[deanriam]

I hate how people only see McCoy when they see him, he has such great movies too.

[locutus94]

Sam Waterson12 for president

Time for Law and Order

[SECTTOR]

And Alana 4 Vice...

[mysteriousyoungman]

Wonderful idea but until the money is behind it is a dream. I would love this to happen, but again, until you can match the money that is held by the parties as a whole, you are just wishing.

Jesse Ventura and Ron Paul - 2012

[stephlovestolaugh]

i just watched the great gatsby, in which he plays nick carraway. he is amazing!! i love him!

[falcons12345]

i love this guy

[PhanatixDDH]

Good job Mr. McCoy

[mamad2020]

this man is a hero. He's the best actor.

[missmirren1]

Sam is an amamzig man and he's one to follow. SAMMMM!!! What a smart man.

[sandman4224]

Ron Paul

[Obeth14]

You wanna really see if the people in the country have any power still?(even though we never did) We should vote in some random joe, real true american. Or host our own candidates over youtube. Not Ron Paul or Bloomberg, then the people would be voting... Ehh not really, we cant think for ourselfs... Face it.

FRED THOMPSON GOD DAMMIT

[reason311]

There is no greater media bromide in politics than "people are tired of the bickering or too much "bitter partisanship". If you don't understand the problem, you will never solve it. The problem is that our media, with collectivist objectives, picks our candidates, so they agree far too much. So even though 80% of american don't wanted to be invaded, don't want the IRS having so much power, don't want all this political correctness, the media moves the debate leftward.

[just2w4tch]

If Thompson is running... Sam, ...DO IT!

[new504cc]

Unity08 denied me acces after I did one edit for Ron Paul. an experiment. One person join supporting Paul and another Bloomberg and see the different leves of access on edits. If you do a searh for paul and make a pos or neg edit what happens.

[unity08]

Our forums are member-moderated and there would be no reason for your post to be deleted unless it was in violation of the community rules. Even then, we stay away from deletion as much as possible. In fact, if you visit Unity08 right now, you will see that there are groups supporting many different candidates, including Ron Paul.

[new504cc]

1 mth 10/5 - on these are the articles I saw

9/26 Draft Bloomberg gains steam

10/1 Say it ain't so Mike

10/4 Bloombeg will go for unity ticket

Bloombergs face apeared in one of the screens during sign up.

Lastly I was denied acces after one edit and buzzworhy was replaced with a cartoon the next day.

We know

6/19 Bloomberg goes Ind. (VP against D or R)

[foster204]

"Bloomberg's face appeared in one of the screens during sign up"??

You're paranoid.

Bloomberg may be a possibility, just as Ron Paul may be. They both have the chance, as do an unlimited number of any other candidates who can garner popular support to win over the Unity08 membership. It's not the leadership who are deciding candidates, or even platform. It's all of us, including you.

[new504cc]

Unity08 may have some Neocons in the control box granting or denying access depending on how you answer questions. Be careful don't make the mistake I did and be too open with your Support for Paul on this site.

[unity08]

Unity08's staff is made up of people from all different parties and some that aren't affiliated at all. Our purpose is not to throw our weight behind a candidate or a platform. It is to give you, the member, the tools to decide what you think is best for the country.

[new504cc]

If subscribing to Unity08, do not make it obvious that you support Ron Paul. I edidted the Ron Paul page and was block for using the search function or editing from that point. Bloomberg is in the background for unity 08.

[unity08]

This statement is false. Unity08's purpose is to provide the common ground and tools for the membership to rank the crucial issues and to nominate a multi-party candidate team that we will elect in the 2008 election.

[bigcheckoyea]

All other canidates beside Ron Paul are mad out of there assholes about Unity08. Think about it. Do you think that these canidates want to lose their power to decide who becomes president. Most republicans and democrats would rather die than give the people the right to pick the president.

[foster204]

Exactly. Why would you want them deciding the process by which our leadership is picked. It's our interest that's supposed to be being served. They've taken charge of the process because we stopped paying attention. But now we've got the chance to bring it back to our say. Easy as that. If the country wants it, they'll make Unity08 a success and we'll all leave the tainted parts of politics behind.

[bigcheckoyea]

When i heard about Unity08 and sign up i almost cried. This is really going to happen. I couldn't believe it. One thing i would like to note that if Ron Paul is not nominated from the Republican party we need to use Unity08 to get him on the ballot. He is all about internet freedom and restoring our individual rights and privacy. As president he would encourage with all his power what Unity08 tries to accomplish. We need to get him elected if the corrupted process fails.

[fhury78dk]

unity08 rocks !,,!

[zitan17]

the suspense is killing me! will we be able to turn this country around and fix these problems?

[foster204]

Absolutely! If you're on-board, great! The more people you tell and get to join, the quicker we'll get to change things.

[darthlink90]

Honestly if he or Fred Thompson ran on Unity 08, I would vote for them no questions asked

[aries185]

I'm a moderate and I'm mad as hell at today's politics. As Sam Waterson said on the O'Reilly Factor, "Unity08 to me is like water to a man in a desert" ... This time has come and I will vote!

[9690329]

Constitution, Bill of Rights, ten commandments and people who care. That's what we need, not BS from those in power.

I have signed up and will get more to do so.

[cajiedog]

Wow what a way to go! I just saw info on Bill Reilly Fox about Unity 08. I tried to go there but their web must be flooded.  I did a google and turned up U tube. Thank you u tube. You can bet i'll be watching this and casting my vote. Think - RON PAUL

[overmind25]

Ron Paul and Mike Gravel 2008!

[DEZNT]

tohz is the stupidest person ever!!! but something is going to happen to tohz's mom anyways and i'll be there to piss on her grave!

[thebrokenladder]

Unity08 MUST use Range Voting, or its simplest form Approval Voting in its nominating process, or else its objectives will be seriously undermined.  Range Voting has the highest social utility efficiency, making it the objectively best voting method. And it's SIMPLE. Check out RangeVoting. org, and ApprovalVoting. org for more information.

[perritopup]

I've got an idea...Sam Waterston for President!

[thefakeyeti]

I dont think they are there to deal with all that stuff..

just a new way to vote really..

[chadagg]

AtheistAtLARGE: You get to help decide the issues to be addressed if you go to their website.  Right now, they've got a message board to talk about the issues. I'm positive that each of those is discussed.

[Mikerochip1]

What "sign-up link"?

[ajain310]

Comments on recent (06) election shows the Democratic bias but he says we are moderates.

[steelnoles]

This is not a third party. This is a unity ticket. One Democrat and one Republican on the Presidential ticket. An independent can be on the ticket as long as there is someone that is Rep or Dem as VP nom and Sec of State. Those of you that say the system is too broken and can not be fixed, remember the 2000 election. The state of Florida was won by less than 400 votes. This is not a third party but one may come from this. This is for a bi-partisan ticket. Please get involved!

[ajain310]

The election of 2000 and 2004 show how close we can come in national elections though winner gets all skews the results. I think we ought to get involved and think about how to strengthen the internet to remain uncorruptible. UNITY08 concept shows how important it is to keep Internet out of Big Money Privatzation! We have to ensure that the voting mechanism of Unity08 remains above the hacker's reach. May the grass root succeed over Big Money.

[Mosier2]

Its pointless. The system is broke and Humpty ain't going to be put back together again. Why? The institution of government has the power to grant special privileges to insiders at everyone else's expense - and it will always use and abuse that power. The only candidate woth listening to is Ron Paul and he will be ignored into oblivion by the establishment media.

[BrethrenOfUlster]

You could join Unity08 and suggest Ron Paul as a candidate, defend your reasons, and build up a following Seriously, that's what the forums are for! That's Unity08; true American voice and idealism.

[foster204]

Wow, what a downer.

[kingslice75]

Jack McCoy For President! :)

[ReverieNightengale]

Seconded!

[dtruder]

It is about time that we have a real choice. The only wasted vote is a vote for evil (1) or evil (2). Some say a third party can never win but others said a bunch of colonists could never win against the British army too.

[hawkeyeMA]

This is an idea that merits attention.

[hfieldhero]

Waterston is the man and I understand where he's coming from particularly with the comment regarding picking the lesser of the two evils. However, a 3rd party candidate has ZERO chance of ever winning the presidency.

[RockyTop85]

Jack McCoy is never wrong.

The idea is great, but too much money is tied up in the bureaucracy. We'll keep picking the lesser of two evils for quite some time, I'd imagine.

[jsharp1701]

Everything he says is true. Americans need to do something to change the system. A direct, national primary is long overdue. And lobbyists and people with big bankrolls choosing our candidates must stop. I'm all for this campaign, Unity08.

[Mbains]

The initial attempt may fail miserably, but the idea is brilliant and sound.

I'm goin' to give it a go.

BTW, JV did a decent job, not <i>great</i>, by most accounts, decent in MN.

Not that I'd want a guy like The Body as President.

[SamWaterstonFanatic]

I, for one, applaud Sam Waterston for helping to kick-start the political movement that will change the running of our country for the better... and I support his views on the current state America is in now...we DO need change-- not to mention a break from all the annoying "he said, she said" mudslinging campaign ads we're bombarded with nonstop from about mid-June until November....way to go, Sam!

[GenAmonX2K]

Uhh, no offense, but you're not exactly unbiased, judging by your name >.> <.<

[SamWaterstonFanatic]

Uhh, just so you know, my choice of name here has nothing to do with my comment on this clip.

[Blue387]

Should the third party Unity '08 candidate win the presidency, he/she will be ignored by the Democrats and Republicans in Washington like Jesse Ventura in Minnesota.

[blogswarm]

What a wanker. I gave this video a '1' and you should too (or the robots will eat you).

[chazzadams]

And forget to buy Old Glory Life Insurance, the ONLY life insurance that protects the elderly in the event of robot attcks. When those robots grab you in their metal claws, you cannot escape because their claws are metal and robots are strong. People who deny the existence of killer robots may in fact be killer robots, themselves.
