Quick, how many conservative actors or actresses can you name?

Clint "Get Off My Lawn" Eastwood
Mel "I Hate Jews" Gibson
Jon Voight
Ahnold "Asta Lavista" Schwarzenegger
Kelsey "I Used To Be Someone" Grammar
The woman who was on Everybody Loves Raymond

That's about all I can come up with now.

Now...name all the conservative actors/actresses who have been relevant over the past decade.

I guess you could throw in Chuck Norris - although he hasn't been exactly relevant lately either.

Seems that a lot of these rethug types are washed-up action stars from the 80s and early 90s.

"When I was younger I was on welfare and food stamps, and nobody gave me any help."

The quote isn't exact, but that's the essence.
