Mel GibsonAye, fight and you may die. Run, and you'll liveโฆat least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willing' to trade all the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never takeโฆOUR FREEDOM?!
Mel GibsonThe whole notion of politics is they always present you with this or this or this. Iโll get a newspaper to read between the lines. Why do you have to adhere to prescribed formulas that they have and people argue over them and theyโre all in a box. And you watch Fox claw CNN, and CNN claw Fox. Sometimes I catch a piece of the news and it seems insanity to me. I quietly support candidates. Iโm not out there banging a drum for candidates. But I have supported a candidate and itโs a whole other world.
