Look, if you support marriage equality and then support someone who's admitted he will actively limit marriage equality, you're no better than they are. Clint Eastwood is an enabler of this type of thought. So many people decry bigotry and then give Republicans a blank check when it comes to supporting it. If you support gay marriage, don't support Mitt Romney ... it's that easy. Supporting Mitt Romney, even if you have a disagreement on the marriage issue, just gives him the nod to continue doing what he's doing.

Mitt Romney is a bigot and now Eastwood is by association. Sorry, but that's just how it is.

This quote is now useless because Eastwood, even if he doesn't agree with Romney on this issue, is endorsing the idea when he endorses the candidate.

1. yep

2. Unless...

...he gets on the stage and repeats those lines tonight? If so, I hope they have lots of reaction shots of the crowd. I wonder what the Vegas odds are on Dirty Harry going off-script....

[Scuba]

10. Would it be like Clint to stray from the script? We can hope.

3. If you lie down with dogs you get up with fleas...

Even if you are just after a paycheck.

[K8-EEE]

4. Yeah walk the walk Clint, I will be so disappointed

if he follows their script without doing what is right and calling out that platform!!

9. Are you guys serious? Eastwood is NOT going to call them out. He's a long lost Koch Brother.

He's a libertarian. Not a moderate conservative. Does anyone actually believe that Eastwood's speech is not vetted beforehand? Don't you remember his recent rant that went viral? It was NOT even close to calling out the republicans.. it was basically they're platform, but with some libertarian bullshit anger in there.

13. You sound like

you like Establishment Romney better than libertarians. Who whaddafuck their other views may be, are on the same side in social liberal issues.

5. Slow down....

it occurred to me just a minute ago that we haven't heard his speech yet.

And you cannot throw the baby out with the bathwater and you don't have to agree with EVERY SINGLE WORD that comes out of someone's mouth.

I do not agree with EVERYTHING Barack Obama says or does. Do I think he is our best bet? Oh HELLS YEAH! Do I quote him where I agree with him? Yes.

8. Eastwood is in the same boat as the Koch Brothers... he's not a warm and fuzzy conservative.

He's a grouchy libertarian that also doesn't support the majority of what Democrats support. Don't cherry pick on this one. You have to consider the person.

Ron Paul is "anti war" which gets him the ignorant young men vote, but they don't realize that he's also against every single social safety net, public schools, etc. etc. etc.

6. I wonder if he's schmoozing for production funds.

He just finished producing and acting in a sentimental-looking film....

... Perhaps the film sucks, just like the rest of this production, and Clint needs some mass advertising to get it to pay off. Just a wild-assed guess.

7. Eastwood is a hardcore Libertarian. He didn't say that because he cares about gay couples..

.. he said it in the framework of "get the evil govt out of my business."

11. So

you have to agree with a candidate on every position to endorse them?

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

12. Would this be Eastwood's first involvement in a Republican campaign to this degree?

I know he's run for mayor before but has he ever done something even remotely similar to what he's doing tonight? Of course you can't be certain of what he'll say but his mere presence might have an impact on certain fans. If he's never made an appearance like this, then I wonder why now?

14. To call Romney

"punk" and resign from the party that fucked his libertarian mates?

[tama]

15. Has not yet endorsed.

Maybe he won't, they already threw other libertarians out. Loose gun Clint embarrassing Romney by refusing to endorse would be worth seeing.
