Colbert Running for President

he's a good guy and a good entertainer but i don't think he is presidential material

Nah, he's not really running. The people have to know who they're voting for, there's no way a candidate could win based on a satire personality.

In 1968 Pat Paulson, a comedian did the same thing.
I see Steven Colbert as a Conservative Repulican, and that is not a good thing to be in my eyes.

He's definetly not a conservative republican, he only plays one ;) (Thats why its a satire)

Mixed emotions about this one. I would rather have someone like Ron Paul in office, but I would not be entirely dissappointed by having Colbert as a President, as that would be a good sign for America, as it would be like blowing smoke into the faces of the old fart conservative republicans in office, him being a comedian and all. If a comedian can run the country, then how far off is marijuana legalization? Right?

But, I am not familiar with his political opinions. He plays a conservative republican on his show, but I'm just not familiar with his actual personal opinions on today's problems.

He's actually a registered Independant.

Ok, the info is from Wikipedia, but.......
He is a self-described Democrat playing the character of a right-wing Republican.

Also, I thing he's running only in his home state of South Carolina.

:wave1:

I like Colbert but I'm still supporting Ron Paul. If though, for whatever reason, Paul does not get the GOP nomination and is not going to be in office, then Colbert would be my second choice. I kinda wish Jon Stewart would run though because i actually think he would make a good president.

i like to watch his show
but president, no whether hes dem, ind, or rep, because he ACTS to much like a bush cronny.

I wish I was American so that I could vote for Hillary Clinton for president, not that I know anything about American politics I just love powerful sexy women. LOL.

Cheers
