Oh how surprised (yet joyful) I am when I saw the reviewer use my verbiage.
"'Swing Vote': An election for dummies" by Wesley Morris, Globe Staff | August 1, 2008
With several months left before the presidential election, "Swing Vote" arrives to remind you what's important. The movie goes on and on about honesty. Illegal immigration, gays in the military, and abortion all come up. But to paraphrase a successful presidential campaign: It's the screenwriting, stupid.
Amazing how those divisive issues are promoted from Jewwood, I mean, Hollywood, no?
"Swing Vote" is comedy about a 12-year-old who winds up voting for president because her father was too drunk to do it himself. The whole fictitious election comes down to her fraudulent vote....
Then that is VOTE FRAUD!
Amazing how the media will make an inane movie about a serious topic, 'eh?

The movie has no teeth, no vision, and no real insights. It also lacks a sense of modernity. It's 2008. Why are we still microwaving Frank Capra's old casseroles? The movie turns racism, class woes, and social issues into jokes instead of engaging them with intelligence, wit, or a whiff of drama.
And that is different from the newspaper how?
All we get are platitudes (see, every vote really does count).
Translation: YOUR VOTE REALLY DOESN'T COUNT, American voter -- and the MSM KNOW IT!!!
They are IN on the FIX!!!!
The elitism does bug me, yes....
Many are contained in Bud's big speech at the end of the film. Before he reads it to America (with sudden eloquence), he tells someone, "Oh God, I think I'm going to puke." Me, too.
My type of lingo.
Globe's as bad as me!!!!
