He's go my vote - look at this part of his platform:

Military Funding:

  "I am a huge supporter of the military. I have always thought of them as our guardians, and when our guardians are making less than the poverty line, and children are suffering because their parents decided to join the military, well, I get very upset. I feel that instead of sending billions to the Pentagon's pet projects, it should go to the troops

Finally, he's "conservative" in his life.

"I believe in saving money. I believe in having a house. I believe in keeping things clean. I believe in exercising," he says. "Slow and steady is a very good thing for me. It works for me."

When I was going to school i owned a taxi in jersey and they were shooting a movie called "home boys" with him and Mickey Rourke.
I was driving a waitress home in the cab and when we got to her apt she asked me if I could walk her up to her door because there were a lot of strangers around because they were shooting the movie on her block in Asbury park NJ.
I walked her up to her door and started back to my cab, she came running out the door screaming there was a dead guy leaning on her apt door.

I ran back to her apt and there was some guy laying right in front of her door.
I reached down and felt the artery in his neck for a pulse, it was weak but he was alive.
It was Christopher Walken and there was a needle sticking out of his right arm and the "tie off" rubber thing was loose but still wrapped around his arm.

I ran down to the "set" where they were shooting and went up what I later learned was the second unit director.
I told him what I knew and he grabbed two stage hands and asked me if I told anyone else or called the police.
I said no because he looked to be OK , just passed out from the dope.

We all went back to the girls apt and she was really shook up.
The director asked us if he could stay there and I said ask her.
The girl was unsure so I stepped in and said maybe the director could help her out a bit.
He reached into his pocket and gave the girl $500.00 and slipped me 2 one hundred dollar bills.

Christopher Walken stayed there all night and recovered and talked with the waitress and myself and the two stage hands.

He was cool but I just couldn't get over the fact that the guy had everything you could want and was pissing it away on heroin.

I heard he's clean now and if that's true good for him.

He's a Dem alright....... Can't be trusted..





"Our great country is in a terrible downward spiral. We're losing jobs, losing benefits, and losing lives. We need to focus on what's important-- paying attention to our children, our environment, our future. We need to think about improving our underbudget educational system, making better use of our resources, and helping to build a stable, safe, and tolerant global society. It's time to be smart about our politics. It's time to get America back on track."





1) We're losing jobs, losing benefits, and losing lives.
Fine quote by a Dem.

2) paying attention to our children, our environment,
Favorite Dem line.

3) underbudget educational system.
Another famous Dem spending .

4) build a stable, safe, and tolerant global society.

the President probably tried every recreational
drug known to man during his 20s and 30s?

Updated first post.

Also putting it here.

Go to this page:  www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=1923150

Load up the audio in real player and skip ahead to 16:30 in the audio.

[Interviewwer]  I was hoping you could tell us about making this scene, and this is, uh, um, uh, from a movie called "At Close Range," in which you play a kinda small time criminal, your son is Sean Penn, you, you, you turn on your sons, um, you shoot Sean Penn's, you  shoot your own son's girlfriend, you kill her.  Um, you're uh, a really heartless guy in this, and, but, at the end of the movie Sean Penn is so upset with all the treacherous acts you've committed against all against your own family, that he's holding a gun on you, his father, and he's so upset -- he might really shoot you, and you're not sure how to play it.  Before we hear that scene, tell us a little bit about what went into the making of this scene, and what it's like for you, as someone who doesn't really like... GUNS ... to be, uh, in front of a gun, on a movie set.

[CW] Yes, well this story is based on a real family and, you now its terrible, its a terrible, sad, story.  Um, when we shot this scene, I think I know what you're referring to, but, they um, and I had a gun pointed at me, and at one point, they switched the guns, and uh, that was enough to put me in a panic, I, I, really didn't know what was going on, although it, everything was being kept very safe, behind the back, just being in the dark about it, got me into a, um, huge ... anxiety attack.   Anyway, that, on film, you can see that, that's about all I can tell you.

That's about all it says.
