MTM an extreme conservative

Really? "Our Mare" is a social conservative? Who woulda thunk? I know it probably shouldn't matter, but this does make her less appealing to me as a person. I wonder what Ed Asner thought of her politics...

I too was suprised, no really, shocked to read that Moore would have "campaigned for McCain if he had asked". WTF? Why does this woman stand for a party that simply doesn't have her best interests (aka stem cell research to help Type 1 Diabetics like Moore). Too bad - sometimes I think she's turned into her Ordinary People character for real.

Well put, Dannybob. But maybe MTM was always like her Ordinary People character. Now I'm glad she didn't win the Oscar - she wasn't acting!

In her own words: I'm not an actress who can create a character. I play me.

Her words again: Sometimes you have to get to know someone really well to realize you're really strangers.

AND,

There is a dark side. I tend not to be as optimistic as Mary Richards. I have an anger in me that I carry from my childhood experiences -- I expect a lot of myself and I'm not too kind to myself.

I have found that being hard on yourself...not too kind to oneself...is based in fear and anger.

Fear tends to lead us more as we age when we lose more and more control of our lives and when you have anger issues from a past you can NOT change, AND a life threatening disease to boot, Type I Diabetes (with which she is surviving for over 40 years), you may look to, listen to those who speak confidently...aggressively about surviving and controlling life with firm convictions and beliefs...REPUBLICANS HAVE THIS MANTRA/ATTITUDE POLISHED TO A BRILLIANT SHINE...WRAPPED IN AN ATTRACTIVE PACKAGE...THE CONTENTS OF WHICH ARE DECEPTIVE and FALSE...Those who are afraid sometimes follow blindly, sometimes easily deceived by such 'solid' subjects as GOD, FAMILY, NO TAXES and COUNTRY--Attractive packaging. (One opinion. Mine. Which is always open to debate and discussion.)

Image the fear knowing your illness is likened to a time bomb (once again her own words): Diabetes is an all-too-personal time bomb which can go off today, tomorrow, next year, or 10 years from now - a time bomb affecting millions like me and the children here today.

I still adore her, especially with all the foibles only human beings who suffer and continue living life (most of the humans I know) have.

'REPUBLICANS HAVE THIS MANTRA/ATTITUDE POLISHED TO A BRILLIANT SHINE...WRAPPED IN AN ATTRACTIVE PACKAGE...THE CONTENTS OF WHICH ARE DECEPTIVE and FALSE..'.

may I ask what you're talking about?
Why is politics brought into each and every subject that exists,and what is this politcal-party label we out on people that is supposed to define who they are personally?
People are not black & white in their make-up,and politics has nothing to do every look,movement,and glance.

Why could you ever care if an actor is a conservative or liberal? I know my Dr is a wonderful man and if he is a conservative, that fact wouldn't have kept me from going to him when I was nearly dead and he saved my life. A person's work shouldn't be affected by their politics. Unless of course their job is in politics in general. Love MTM....always have ...always will...

'Oh, Simpleminded, your post are always so stupid'.
'The thread is about politics, for godsake'.

That's because you missed the gist of my post due to your usual simplemindedness,and common misunderstanding of the written word. But you run that arrogant mouth off anyway. Nobody has explained this to you?
