Another ‘Star’, Another Threat. Must Be Election Season
If Hollywood ’stars’ are threatening to leave the country, you know its election time again. How many times have we heard in the past that if “politician so-and-so wins (or loses), I’m leaving the country,” as if their threats are intended to make us lose sleep at nights?
Well, its that time of year again when the so called Hollywood ’stars’ come out of the woodwork and try to make us believe that politics is their sole reason for being in the United States in the first place, and fame, fortune and the tons of money they make by playing dress-up is secondary. Enter stage left, Susan Sarandon who vows to leave the country if McCain wins by stating, “If McCain gets in, it’s going to be very, very dangerous.”
Give me a break! The past eight years of George W. Bush in the White House hasn’t made her leave yet, so why would another four years of his policies under McCain make any difference?
Are these ’stars’ who make these threats every four years so in need of attention, that the only way they feel they can get it is by putting themselves upon a pedestal and threatening to leave this country if they don’t get their way? Somebody should tell Ms. Sarandon that her threat has been tried many times before, and it doesn’t work!
How many ’stars’ threatened to leave the country if GW was re-elected in 2004, and how many actually made good on their threat promise? None. Zippo. Nada. They are all still here. Besides, if those that actually did leave, how many do you think would surrender their American passports, and renounce their citizenship? None. Zippo. Nada.
I wonder how many ‘fans’ of these ’stars’ actually consider these threats when making their decision in the polling booth? I’m willing to bet the number is extremely low. And for those that actually do change their votes because of these threats, well then its time to get out of your parents’ basement and realize that the country you live in is real, not a scripted movie.
And if Ms. Sarandon does move to Italy or Canada if McCain ends up winning the election, all I can say is goodbye and good luck. Don’t forget to leave your passport on the way out.

Thank You!!!! I think that by saying it, she should be held legally accountable and deported upon his election, permanently! Screw these people and their politics. When does being an entertainer qualify you for anything else but entertaining others. In Roman times these people were mocked and spit on. The majority are uneducated, unstable, fools. Please leave Susan, your washed up anyway!

I couldn’t agree with you more. I don’t know anything about being an entertainer, but I feel the first rule they learn is that they think the sun rises and sets on their command.
I don’t know what Susan Saradon is about. I do know that a few stars have suffered because of what they have said; such as Sean Penn, Rosie, Charlie Sheen, and a few others. I know that Sean Penn has been a very well spoken opponent of the Iraqi War.
When celebrities threaten to leave the country if __________________ happens, all they’re doing is making themselves laughingstocks. Rightwing bloggers are already having a field day with Susan Sarandon’s latest threat.
THANK YOU!
You couldn’t have said it better!
