Mitt Romney actually has a pretty good idea for what Sony should do with The Interview - The Week

Posted by nickursis 10 years, 8 months ago to Government

Maybe we should elect Romney, he's the only one with any common sense and isn't too wimpy about it.

Elect Mitt so we can stay on the same path as Obama, just at a slower pace? :) No thanks. I'm not in that camp.

  I'm fed up with finding myself left to a final election of pinching my nose and yet, yet, yet again voting for "the lesser of two evils."
  If I'm looking at Mitt again or another Bush or any such RINO yet, yet, yet again, I'm gonna shrug and vote for the Libertarian candidate.

    I am with you on that, even though I know that voting 3rd party is allowing another progressive into the office. I truly believe that it is my generation and the generation before me that has allowed our country to go down hill. I do not want to pass these problems on and voting for a rhino is passing the buck to the next generation. If the only path to freedom requires starting over, I would rather start over now than pass our problems to someone else.

    Well then get ready. I don't know if you got the memo but it will be Hillary vs. Jeb. Hillary will win, too.

      In any Democommie case, another goofy looking bobble-head face to turn the TV channel from. Thank heaven for my quick draw remote.

      if these two are the candidates it is irrelevant who wins. the country is is free fall to socialism and all they will do is foster it further. we now know that the pres functions autonomous of the congress and they the congress rubber stamp what ever the pres does.

      Got that memo but heard in may even be worse than Hillary, if that is possible. What's her name from the left coast, Dianne Feinstein.Yikes!

Am I the only one here who sees this as wrong on multiple levels? Sony shouldn't give their film rights up, and Romney shouldn't be asking for the sanction of the victim. Moreover, the altruism that Romney asks Sony to participate in is for Ebola treatment, yet another case of altruism that will cost all of us in America more when yet another contaminated doctor or nurse returns home.

  I liked the suggestion of releasing the movie to the public AND asking for donations... and my 'like' ground to a stop with Romney's suggestion of what to do with the revenue.
  
  That's where he is VERY wrong. Just proves that he thinks he knows where income and revenue should go... to wherever he suggests.
  
  Bad for America... nearly as bad as the guy in the WH today.

I would donate $5 to see it, but the money should go to the makers of the film, not to some charity thing. To hell with N Korea.

I think that Sony did this to get the insurance money for a stinky film. They spent way too much on this piece of dung, they finally realized they'd never get the return, and they hired some teenage hackers to make it look like they had been infiltrated by the NoKo's. Those teenagers found some interesting e-mails, and decided to have some fun.

If that's not the case, and this is a true NoKo hack, then why should Sony give their product away for free? Grow some balls. But then, it was probably the O admin that told them not to release it and they'd get some benies later. The admin too scared that something might happen and they will get the blame.

  I agree that the whole story sounds fishy.

    If that is the case, then the only reason for not releasing the film for online distribution is gone.

      I think Sony is afraid of more releases of the stolen emails and other data. That threat was expressly raised in today's extortion note from the GOP.

Um, if I recall correctly I watched him wimp out during a presidential debate a couple years ago.

Ask viewers for voluntary $5 contribution to create Atlantis.

  Crowd-sourcing? Post a project online. We're going to need a LOT of cash...

    Better to have the plan in much better organization before we make it a crowd sourced prospect. So far we are still looking for a decent site.

A leopard does not change its spots, and I doubt Mitt will change his underwear. If this crapitalist wins anything, I need to change mine.

I'm surprised the whole thing hasn't been posted to the Internet already. "The Internet sees censorship as damage and routes around it."

  Exactly. It seems the movie is the only thing from Sony that isn't getting out.

if sony really wanted to fight this nk business they would show the movie the way it was intended as a money making deal. raising money for ebola will only put money in the hands of those who want to see ebola continue to spread, then someone will want to give them more like 0. with all of the hoopla that has taken place sony will do very well if they just do what they intended to do and the hell with the nk"s if they did do what they supposedly have done.
