happythoughts 0 #1 July 29, 2008 I was never a big WWF wrestling fan, but I know who The Rock is. I've seen him on tv and had does a lot of other personal appearances. He is pretty funny when he wants to be. He tends to speak in controlled cadence and short sentences with a pause for effect. So, the first time that I heard Barack speak, I wasn't really watching the tv. I heard the voice and the style and wondered what the content was all about. I was in the other room thinking, "What the heck is The Rock talking about?" Personally, I think The Rock would be huge amounts of fun to have in a campaign. Can you imagine a debate? The opponent would say something and Dwayne would raise that eyebrow in an incredulous fashion (his eyebrow would get tired for some ). Heck, California has the Governator. Jesse Ventura was governor of Minnesota. The Rock should run for something. How much fun would that be? Most of modern politics is like running for 9th grade class president anyway. Just a popularity contest where good hair is now more important. You guys need to help me with some good campaign ideas. If we can put something together, I'll email him the results.

happythoughts 0 #4 July 29, 2008 I just thought of a good sound bite. He could be negotiating, or in a debate. He could point his finger and say, "You are between The Rock and a hard place now." It would never work for Barack. He couldn't carry off the intimidation factor. Barack has too much "Woody Allen" style to be fearsome. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

People in the SC have no sense of humor or imagination. I wants some posters with both. Ya gotta admit. We've already had two non-politician actor/bodybuilder governors. Why not The Rock? Which would be the ideal state to declare his candidacy? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If anyone ever came off as an embarrassment to humanity, it was Sonny Bono. Speaking of mayors, Clint Eastwood was the mayor of Carmel for a couple of years.

BillyVance 35 #8 July 29, 2008 "if you smeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelllllllllllllllllllll.... what the Rock..... is cookin'" He sure as hell has the personality and no doubt would be a crowd pleaser. I for one, wouldn't mind seeing him smack around a few shit-hole countries with a 4x4 or baseball bat (Walking Tall), instead of Bush sending out the whole damn army.

How about The Rock as our ambassador to the UN? "Ok, we have voted to send a UN peacekeeping force to Dkrkpsistan. How many people do we need?" "We're just sending The Rock."
