I think all of you should go see this movie whether you are a democrat, republica, or none of the above. This movie is geared more towards the democrats but the entire movie is facts. Sometimes makes me wonder why our troops are being sent to die. I honor and respect our troops, i do not however, condone the actions of the administration behind it. This war has turned many people away from the military. What are we going to do 5 years down the road when we really need them???
Its never too early to think about the future

Really? That's strange. I was watching a debate/discussion on CNN ( probably the most anti-Bush of all the news networks)) and even the full on anti Bush Democrats were saying how Micheal Moore shot himself in the foot by distorting the facts and using false information in the movie. Just because it's called a documentary doesn't mean it's all true. Any story, movie, article that is that biased towards one view is bound to have exaggerated infomation in it. I'm not saying that all the info in the movie is wrong or distorted but M.M. is the other extreme end of the spectrum. He's just as bad as all the news anchors that he constantly complaining about, he's just at the other end of the shit stick.

My friends all went to it tonight and I stayed behind. I do want to see it but I'm not going to pay theater prices to watch a bunch of propaganda. I'm sure I'll rent it on video though because I'm interested in what kind of shit M.M. dug up on the Bush camp.

on the part suporting the troops and not suporting the admin. yes that is my stand too. as for the movie is facts. no. its 20% facts 80% propoganda. the main thesis of the first half of the movie was absolutly shut down by the 9/11 comission and even michel more said that "yes alot of the move is my own opinion" yes everyone should see the movie but if you want all fact go watch supersize me.

I just heard an interview with a MN congressman who is in the movie at the part where MM is asking for congressmen to have their children sign up for the draft. What made the movie was the senator walking away. What didn’t make the movie was the congressman explaining that he has no children of the age to enlist and that two of his nephews are currently in Iraq. There are plenty of good points made but as with anything you have to take it with a grain of salt.

M.M. always exaggerates which bothers me - there's no need to exaggerate what the Bush admin has done. I have a fair knowledge of history and with confidence I can say that he is the worst president with the worst admin we've had. Even worse than Pierce. This is from me, a guy with very conservative views at least in terms of crime and finance. He absolutely makes the libertarian in me squirm like a little kid in class who has to take a massive shit (a fair analogy, in the case) and I won't even mention what the poor social liberal feels like ...

I stand corrected. I do realize that this was all not facts, but it is based on facts. There is no way we are ever going to see the real truth. We need to see both sides and make a choice based on all the information. This is good entertainment as well!

As far as being anti bush(which i am) If enough people watch this movie and change their mind, i dont care whether its facts or complete lies. Its not like he actually WON the election... That one still bothers me.

I agree completely - this is one of those times where I feel any means to an end (Bush admin gone). I've never felt so strongly about politics in my life and it's not just me getting older.
