List of Celebrity Republicans ( I had no idea !)

[nine30]

Can this really be true ? I had no idea so many of the well knowns are Republicans!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Republican_celebrities

[bukk]

1. Well, you're talking about wealthy folks...

...who don't like to pay taxes.

The real question is how many are moderates, as opposed to hard right Republicans?

[BillZBubb]

14. It doesn't matter their motivation.

If they are Pugs they are shitheads. They'll vote for a useless turd like Bush* in spite of the damage he's doing to our country and the world.

[bukk]

28. I disagree

There is a world of difference between a moderate Republican and a hard right Republican.

Frankly, the gap between a moderate Republican and a moderate Democrat is very small -- Clinton was often as much a conservative and he was a progressive.

If you're going to call all Republicans shitheads because they'll "vote for a useless turd like Bush," you are betraying a kind of ignorance that does not serve any party well.

82. Well said bukk. (and thank you)

[cosmicvortex20]

102. Woot, he was just served!

Tell him to simma down now.

[Bucky]

131. Go get 'em, Bukk.

Nice job. Of course you should know that you're wasting electrons on people who refuse to think rationally. But then again, it is nice to hear someone say something sane once in a while. Just remember that anyone can get on a computer and type. You may be chastising a marginally-minded nincompoop, or even a Freeper poser. You never know.

Call an idiot an idiot, if it pleases you. But don't spend too much time writing to people who obviously don't spend too much time thinking.

[qanda]

139. Dang Bukk

That was spot on! :hi: By the way, welcome to DU.

2. Ron Howard is a PUKE?

And Lyle Lovett? Does Julia Roberts know this?

[MADem]

26. Probably why she divorced him....

...plus she sobered up and realized that wasn't the booze that made him look like that....

[JRicks_GA]

42. Ron Howard gave 2k to John Kerry

http://www.fundrace.org/neighbors.php?type=name&lname=howard+&fname=ron&search=Search+by+Name

[Cha]

63. Thanks...so they are falsely claiming

Ron Howard like everything else..Good..because my head was spinning from that one!

[newyawker99]

151. Hi JRicks_GA!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[Meshuga]

3. This list is BS...

This list includes Canadians hockey players as Reublicans. Funny though...

[bagnana]

87. Kevin Costner gave $$$ to Kerry.

Also, John Malkovich? I can't believe that. This list is bullcrap.

[neomonkey]

113. Beyonce and Sarah Michelle Gellar? :(

Wow, I wish I could sleep with the enemy.


:evilgrin:

[qanda]

141. I've come to the conclusion that this list is totally false

I'm almost positive Beyonce is not a Republican.

[Freedomofspeech]

159. Franco Harris

Trust me, Franco Harris is NOT a Repug. I have been to two Kerry rallies in Pittsburgh, and he has introduced Sen. Kerry both times.
Lynn Swan is a BIG bushite as well as Jerome Bettis. Also, Joe Paterno is a HUGE Repug.

[darkism]

4. hahahaha

Other
* All of NASCAR (auto racing)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA so sadly true

[Quetzal]

5. Anderson Cooper is a Republican?

Yeah, sure

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anderson_Cooper

[MADem]

31. He's gay as a goose....

...so that is not super-likely, though possible...unless he's a Log Cabinite, but last I heard he was still in his charmingly appointed, luxury cedar closet, though he is 'out' within a select circle.

[LTR]

53. He donated to a Republican once

Some obscure congressional candidate.

Not sure if that makes one a Repub, though.

[DefenseLawyer]

6. Rob Lowe

is not a republican (there is video tape to prove it)

[meganmonkey]

10. what, like republicans aren't perves???

[DefenseLawyer]

20. Oh to the contrary

many a rethuglican is in his basement torture chamber with a goat as we speak. But they rarely get invited to the DNC.

[LibeMatt]

120. I wonder if...

...Rick Santorum is one of these, or maybe he just prefers dogs, as per his interviews...?

Speaking of Bestiality Rick, anyone here know that Dan Savage of the Savage Love column sponsored a contest (upon hearing of Rick's comments equating consensual homosexuality to bestiality and incest) to determine what "santorum" should be slang for? The winner is truly nasty, but you'll have to google it (it should be near the top of non-Senator hits under "santorum"), as it may not be fit for even these liberal and open forums..;

:evilgrin:

[nine30]

7. Regis Philbin ? A Republican ?

[Justitia]

29. I don't think this is right...

I think celeb donations had been investigated and posted on DU before and Regis has given solely to Dems.

Could be wrong, but that's my recollection...

[MADem]

35. Yeah, he is

He has the sleazy GOP gene--he had a hot affair with the cheerleading coach at his alma mater, Notre Dame. The details were really disgusting...in that they were so PATHETIC. His wife Joy was not feeling much joy at that news.

And he was once partnered (in the entertainment field, not personally) with the most famous Gay Republican of all, Merv Griffin, late of the MERV GRIFFIN SHOW and owner of Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune (Pat Sajak is another--Republican, that is) and a host of other programs--he is rich as a Roosevelt.

Hand over fist. Taxes are for little people.

[cmkramer]

89. Not Merv Griffin

Actually the talk show host that Regis worked with was Joey Bishop.

By the way, somebody posted that list a month or so ago on DU Lounge. There are many inaccuracies in it. I think they put in anybody whoever said anything remotely supportive of a Republican.

[MADem]

158. Here's Gay Old Party Merv's Contributions

http://www.newsmeat.com/fec/bystate_detail.php?st=NY&last=Griffin&first=Merv

He's dyed in the wool, and still in the closet!

[Piperay]

128. NO, I'm sure Newsmeat

reported that Regis had given $2000 to Democrat Bill Bradley.

[troubleinwinter]

8. Charlton Heston????!!!

Ya mean 'GOD' is a 'puke???!!!

[checks-n-balances]

15. Er, I think you mean Moses ;-) n/t

[Wilber_Stool]

9. Ernie Banks

Noooooooooo. Say it ain't so Ernie, say it ain't so.

[joanne]

19. Please NOT Ron Howard!!!

:cry:

The list is rather suspect, though. I see they list Sydney Pollack because he supported McCain.

MAybe he has reformed.

[JRicks_GA]

44. Sydney Pollack not a Republican

http://www.fundrace.org/neighbors.php?type=name&lname=pollack&fname=sydney&search=Search+by+Name

5k to Democratic candidates

[cmkramer]

90. Don't worry

Ron is a Democrat.

[sister moon]

11. Surprising

Although after scanning the list I realize I only have respect for 2 of them. Except for John Malkovich and Gary Sinise, you could drown the lot of them in a burlap sack and it wouldn't make a whit of difference to me! anyway, is Jane Russell still living?

[Cha]

64. That's really hard to believe about

Gary Sinese or John Malkovich and since they were lying about Ron Howard..I have to assume they are lying about these two, too.

[donheld]

80. This list is NOT to be trusted

This DEMANDS further research.

[RevolutionStartsNow]

12. I loved this part: Journalists

Anderson Cooper
Lou Dobbs
Neil Cavuto

I think they left a few out...

[librechik]

72. Neil Cavuto is a journalist?

Who could tell?

[RandomKoolzip]

13. Oh, bullshit.

No way John Popper is a republican. No fucking way. Impossible.

I'd like to see the criteria by which they judge this shit.

[deadparrot]

17. I heard somewhere that he's Libertarian.

[checks-n-balances]

18. Maybe some of them just voted rethug once, and that qualifies them

Who knows?

[nine30]

21. The same criteria..

.. the media uses to show Bush ahead in the polls.

[Minimus]

39. Jim Nabors! Say it ain't so!

[insanity]

48. I've met John Popper

John Popper is a cool guy, but he is a repub. I was pretty sure he rocked the RNC. On the lighter side, we smoked him out so he isn't the sterotypical tightass republican.

[LTR]

58. Man, I gotta welcome you aboard!

Particularly since you partied with Blues Traveler, one of my favorite bands.

I don't care if Popper's a Pug. His band still rocks.

Gary Cherrone, on the other hand...

[RummyTheDummy]

16. Franco Harris is not a Repug

He campaigned with Kerry in Pa. this year. this list is bogus. He donated to Kerry.

[Norbert]

153. You're right. I heard Franco even appeared at a Kerry rally

Definately a Democrat.

He once gave to Arlan Spectors campaign and to Joe Paterno's(R) run for political office out of loyalty for his former coach. Most all his of his other contributions were for Democrats.

http://www.newsmeat.com/fec/bystate_detail.php?st=PA&last=Harris&first=Franco

Try Newsmeat.com. They seem more acurate than the other website posted.

[peppersnick]

22. Dear God... Alice Cooper!!!

[MADem]

40. He IS a Republican

Alice Cooper is actually an asshole. His opinion of himself greatly exceeds that of those who come in contact with him. And he is a great supporter of the GOP.

[HuskerDem]

50. Plus while Alice Cooper tells everyone what a great man Bush is he

in the same breath bitches that celebrities should shut up when it comes to politics.

He's Brittney Spears in a scary costume. A joke. A has been.

[WoodrowFan]

140. although

Cooper also said anybody that listened to HIM on who to vote for was a loser as well.

[LTR]

59. Hey, the guy golfed with Gerald Ford

And kind of a self-righteous asshole.

The shock rock thing is purely an act.

[mzmolly]

23. Gosh, Hollywood is NOT liberal?

:P

[Bonhomme Richard]

24. Costner is on the other list supporting Kerry n/t

[Chili]

45. you beat me to it, I was just about to post that about Costner

...I suspect this is what their party affiliations are - doesn't mean they're going to vote for Bush, this time, anyway. The way Lou Dobbs (correctly and thankfully) gnaws on that outsourcing bone every night, and on the economic catastrophe Bush has created, I'd be shocked to find out he's going to vote for Bush. Yet he clearly is a traditional Republican.

It is surprising about Ron Howard, though. I would never have guessed it. Yet, again... who knows how some of these celebs are going to vote in 2 weeks. I'll bet a lot of this comes from support for the war following 9/11; many may have changed their minds.

[JRicks_GA]

46. Costner gave 2k to John Kerry

http://www.fundrace.org/neighbors.php?type=name&lname=costner&fname=kevin&search=Search+by+Name

This list is garbage. Many on the list can be checked at www.fundrace.org.

[Cha]

66. Thanks..Ron Howard gave to

Dems and there is nothing on Gary Sinese or John Malkovich.

[WINEWOMAN7]

25. A lot of this is BS

Rob Lowe is an active Democrat even though he campaigned for Arnold, Kevin Costner is for Kerry, I can't believe Denzel is for Bush, Ron Howard is most certainly not a Repug.

[Kire]

30. Frank Booth is Republican?

Pabst Blue Ribbon!



but this means that Billy from Easy Rider, is too

[Philostopher]

55. Rob Lowe had a '9/11 conversion' from what I recall.

His dad's a whoop-de-do Republican in his hometown. I know Lowe used to be more of a leftist, but like some, I remember him going on about what great leadership Bush* provided by standing in the rubble of the Trade Center with a bullhorn. I don't know what he is, but he has glorified the Cult Of Bush a time or two in print.

[LTR]

61. The Denzel thing was debunked

Something about saying something to Katie Couric on the Today Show. He keeps his politics to himself, and says it's nobody's business.

He could be a Pug, though.

[Cha]

67. Yeah, if you can't speak out about your

Country now...Stand up and be counted Denzel!

[atre]

77. Look at the films he makes

John Q is the most liberal mainstream movie to cover the health care debate.

[donheld]

83. Can anyone prove this list is accurate?

I think not

[Kire]

27. wikipedia can be edited by anyone

does this mean that this is hogwash?

[NDFan]

36. ...

It's a strong possibility. ;)

[kikiek]

32. I dont think it is accurate, but even if it is that doesn't transcribe to

support for Bush. I know Drew Carey said not too long ago he wasn't going to vote. Also the dead ones who knows what they would do today. The Republican party wasn't hijacked by the far right wing nuts when they were alive. Also just because Rob Lowe supported Arnold doesn't mean he has changed parties. He supported a friend. It makes the whole list suspect except for the obvious. List for dems is much bigger and better too!

[Quetzal]

33. Dean Cain?

Well Maybe - but he sure didn't seem like a Republican when he played the gay movie star in "The Broken Hearts Club" - I don't know of any Hollywood Republican that would take a gay role.

[Chili]

49. thank you for that

...Ron Howard? It couldn't have been true! :)

(He still could be a Republican, I could care less, but it's the vote for THIS election that counts)

[Zorbet55]

38. Not surprised by the jocks, although

they probably are union members. This makes me glad that I'm a college sports fan. Wasn't surprised by Rick Dees, either. He was corn in the early 70s. Britney? Bwahahahah.

[no name no slogan]

41. At least two of them aren't even citizens

IIRC Norm McDonald and Wayne Gretzky retained their Canadian citizenship even though they live in the US. That's at least TWO votes the Repubs won't get.

[qanda]

43. Magic Johnson?

How in the world is an HIV positive black man a Republican? For some reason, I highly doubt that one. He probably works with both sides to get whatever agenda he needs passed and therefore they call him a Republican.

If someone has any other info I would appreciate it because I was getting ready to go to his new movie theatre that's not too far away and I'll cancel my plans if this is confirmed.

[elperromagico]

47. Sean Hannity?!? NO WAY!

He's on the FAIR AND BALANCED network, Fux Snooze!!!

[LTR]

51. A lot of this is wrong

Some are put here because they may have donated to a Republican in the past. For example, Anderson Cooper made a donation to a Republican congressional candidate in the past year or two. For all we know, it may have been a family friend.

I highly doubt some of this. Some of the names are either Democrats, independents, or non-political.

[saracat]

132. Oh,No! Alice is definately Pug. He lives here and is proudly Repug.

[John_H]

52. LOL! There must be term limits on Rethug actors' careers 'cause

nearly everyone on that list has taken the Lee Majors career path.

[susanna]

68. Shark Jumping 101?

[Iceburg]

54. Lou Dobbs -- the one who drove a stake in the chimps domestic heart

Better put me on the list 2.

[canuckybee]

56. way too many suspicious names on that list to give it any credence.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

57. Where's the list of celebrity democrats?

[PaDem]

60. Charles Barkley is voting for Kerry

He does not like Bush.

[progressivebydesign]

62. That list is bullshit.

Too many on there are wrong. I had no idea that Canadians could be Republicans...

[Eric J in MN]

69. There is no evidence that Sarah Michelle Gellar is a Republican (nt)

nt

[chyjo]

123. Gellar's favorite Book is Gore's "Earth in the Balance"

somehow I don't think she is a Republican.

[Andromeda]

126. Yes, she is a Republican...

I heard her say so on some talk show. She was engaged or married to
Freddie Prinze Jr. at the time and made an issue of being a registered Rethug.

[phish420]

71. I seriously doubt ADAM SANDLER is a republican jew

[Carni]

73. OMG I am so bummed! "Ernest Borgnine"

A LEGEND I TELL YA!

Jesus! Does "Tova" know this?

LOL

[WoodrowFan]

142. well, he was from New Hampshire

but also "gay as a goose"

[Eric J in MN]

74. It's pointless to list supposedly Republican celebrities with no evidence.

nt

[Zen Democrat]

75. Charles Barkley denied that he is a Republican.

Said earlier this year that the story got around because he once told his grandmother that he was going to run for Gov. of Alabama as a Republican. He said that he was joking when he said it and that he can't stand Bush.

I think this list is a Republican product, because they don't have a corresponding list of Democratic celebrities. Several on that list are highly doubtful.

[lady raven]

76. Maybe this will help... some of these are outright lies.

The Repugs have a little habit of "claiming' every celebrity they can, often based on wild assumptions.

They advertised in a widely circulated press release this past summer that Steven Tyler of Aerosmith was a Bush supporter. I saw Steven this summer and politics was mentioned. He's KERRY ALL THE WAY. In fact, if you go to fundrace.org and look up his real name (Tallarico), you'll see that his wife Teresa donated to the Kerry campaign. His daughter Mia is RABIDLY anti- Bush. The mere mention of his name causes the obscenities to fly from her mouth.

In the same press release that mentioned Steven, they "outed" Mandy Moore as a Republican. Well, some of you may have heard soon after that the poor girl was VERY pi**sed and issued a press release of her own, stating that she is not nor has she ever BEEN a Repug...

Billy Bob Thornton is another Kerry supporter and is a good friend of Bill Clinton's. I see him on RW celeb lists all the time. www.celiberal.com has him on their RW list because he donated baby wipes to troops in Iraq. So I guess kindness to those suffering in this horrible mess of a war makes you a RWer.

There are more...

My point is, don't worry too much if someone you respect(ed) is on the list unless you hear it "from the horse's mouth". They'll say ANYTHING to drum up support, even falsely claiming celebrity support. Some of these celebs should sue for defamation of character!

Rebecca in OK

[LoverOfLiberty]

85. Thank you Rebecca

and welcome to DU!

[donheld]

78. Who say's that this list is accurate.

so the Reps claim them, that does NOT, i said NOT, mean that these people claim to be repuglican.

[SammyWinstonJack]

81. Money!

And they want to hang on to it! Nevermind that if it weren't for their fans, they wouldn't have jack. They show appreciation to their fans by crapping on them.

[henslee]

84. Milos Foreman? B.S.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

86. O MY GOD SUSAN SARANDON!???! SAY IT AIN'T SO!!

IT isn't...nor is half that shitty list...Wikepedia is damaging any credibility they may have by leaving it up

[American liberal]

99. Susan Sarandon is NOT on that list...never...She's one of the good

guys who took a lot of flack for speaking out against Bush back when he was "popular."

[fishwax]

88. Pretty Suspect List

I don't know where they got it, but I suspect it was from a web site that I saw recently (can't remember the site, found it in a DU thread) that listed "conservative" celebrities. But the "evidence" they listed for some of the celebrities were things like quotes where they supported the troops. As we all know, supporting the troops does not a conservative make.

Matthew McConaghey is on this list. Nobody arrested for playing drums naked in public while smoking marijuana can really be considered conservative ... :D

[sunnybrook]

91. Wynton Marsalis? Dana Carvey?

Where are the statements made by these people? I mean some of the names are not surprising like Pat Boone, Loretta lynn or Hank Jr. But I find the Marsalis pill a bitter one to swallow. And Carvey? Really thought he had a brain (although I am not surprised to see Drew Carey on here at all) Maybe because Carvey has portrayed Bush Sr in skits. i usually get a laugh out of Republican "celebrities" ...Bo Derek and the Oakridge Boys. WOW!

[American liberal]

93. Jim Belushi?!

He's from Chicago! No Way he can be one of them. And Dana Carvey?! I thought being a lefty liberal was a prerequisite for working on SNL.
Sheesh*

[American liberal]

94. DENNIS HOPPER?!!!

Mr. Easy Rider sidekick? And James Earl Jones?!!! Say is ain't so!

[American liberal]

95. And Pete Sampras?!!! He was my HERO!!! <eom>

[American liberal]

96. There's no way I believe Ronnie Howard is from the dark side...

[sr_pacifica]

147. So...why does everybody think Ron Howard isn't Republican?

I always thought his movies were pretty corny.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

152. IF you had read my posts above you'd know I was joking about

Sarandon and that I head searched Belushi and Howard and they both contributed to Dems

[ariesgem]

124. He's an admitted republican

He did a commericial with his rival Andre Agassi a couple of years ago where they were pointing out their differences and he said "I'm a republican". Andre was of course said he was a dem. I forgot the product they were endorsing.

[Merlin]

97. BULLSHIT: Kevin Costner? Clint Eastwood? Dennis Hopper? No Way!

This is a nonsense site.

[Catt03]

100. Clint Eastwood is a Republican

when mayor of Carmel, let it be known he was a Republican.
Since I have known that fact for a long time, it does not bother me that much. However, I am really surprised at some on this list. Sorry I looked at it. Hope after the election, I forget it.

[Merlin]

101. As far as I know, Eastwood is a strong supporter of Kerry and other

liberals.

[paulk]

129. Dennis Hopper is a Republican

I saw an interview with him recently and he said he voted for Bush, and would again.

Kinda shocking, huh?

[sr_pacifica]

146. He did not age well. Turned into an old tired-ass repuke. n/t

[American liberal]

156. probably trying to save his assets since he doesn't work anymore...

at least I haven't seen him in anything in years.

[snowbear]

98. crappy stats

That is one seriously distorted list they have there...

[bling bling]

103. Kirk Cameron? From Growing Pains?

And Tony Danza, from Who's the Boss? Fascinating. Woooooopie. It's nice that the list includes the political leanings of forgotten actors from the 80's.

[Hatalles]

109. Not suprised about Cameron...

He starred in those piss-poor straight-to-video film adaptations of the awful Left Behind book series.

[LibDemAlways]

115. Kirk Cameron used to be a neighbor of

a friend of mine. Unassuming guy, but big-time religious wack-o. He not only acted in those movies. He believes all that shit.

Back on Growing Pains he had an actress who had been hired to play his girlfriend fired because she had appeared in Playboy. Very extreme beliefs.

[AntiCoup2K4]

104. Proof positive that Van Halen ceased to exist after 1985

Both Sammy Hagar and Gary Cherone are on that list. :puke:

[MisterGamut]

105. Janine Turner: That explains the Restasis commercial N/T

[donheld]

107. Whoever believes this list is one of the bad guys

The list proves NOTHING!

[MisterGamut]

114. Of course it doesn't prove anything

On my blog, I once posted as a joke a comparative chart of liberal celebrities vs Republican celebrities. I get more hits from Google because of that one post than any other two posts combined. For some stupid reason, people care about this shit.

[angee_is_mad]

106. Denzel?

Come on now! That can not be right,m and destiny's child? What are their sources?

[Hatalles]

111. LOL!

I find many of these names very difficult to stomach.

[Steelangel]

116. you are right...

I know that Denzel Washington is not republican for sure... I smell the fishy about that list.

[EndElectoral]

108. Surprises to me: Denzel, Hal Holbrook, Malkovich, Moriarity, James Woods..

Say it ain't so

[Steelangel]

110. wow, that list is quite small..

when compare to celebrity democrats. there are quite large numbers of celebrity democrats.

[pauliedangerously]

112. David Lynch?????

Eraserhead, Blue Velvet, Twin Peaks, Lost Highway.....say it ain't so....DAMN!!!

[MisterGamut]

117. It's a Wiki. You know what that means

It's an evolving project. It can be corrected.

[Cats Against Frist]

118. VINCE VAUGHN AND JOHN MALKOVICH???? noooooooooo....

My two ultramajor boyfriends are Republican? How the hell can John Malkovich be a Republican? He's practically French. Does anyone buy this???

[Cats Against Frist]

122. but oh, oh yes

"While sermonizing against terrorist methods in the fight against social inequality in poor countries, Malkovich has advocated assassinating opponents of the American government. He provoked a fury last year when, while addressing students at the Cambridge Union in England, the actor casually mentioned that he would like to shoot independent journalist Robert Fisk and Glasgow Labour MP George Galloway. Both Fisk and Galloway have been critics of US involvement in the Middle East, Afghanistan and Iraq, as well as Israeli repression of the Palestinians.

Malkovich has also vilely fulminated in support of the death penalty. The Chicago Tribune quoted him as saying: “America’s left wing wants criminals coddled, and no one wants to be punished. I would have no problem pushing the switch while having dinner.”"

--From the World Socialist Web site review of "The Dancer Upstairs"


Apparently, after some research, both Mr. Vaughn and Mr. Malkovich are right wingers. Mr. Vaughn more moderate than Mr. Malkovich. My heart is shattered into ten thousand pieces.

[LibeMatt]

121. Wikipedia

As far as I know, anyone can add or change content to Wikipedia. This was originally supposed to make sure that more people would be able to catch and correct errors, but sometimes crap like this list can slip in. Any of us should feel free to correct these mistakes (or deliberate freeper or other forgeries, I'm almost surprised John Kerry and John Edwards aren't on this list, along with Jesus, Moses, and perhaps even Mohammed).

Also, I have to wonder how many of these celebs registered Repug (if they in fact did) in order to vote in Repug primaries.

[Ell09]

125. Magic Johnson is NO Republican

He's ALWAYS supporting Democrats and their causes. He was on George Bush's HIV/AIDS committee, but quit because he didn't believe they were taking it serious enough. Magic has even mentioned he may run for political office some day.

To put him on a list of Republicans is absolutely disgusting.

[Ell09]

127. IMPORTANT NOTE about almost all athletes listed

The got their names from this link

http://www.politicalfundraising.us/services/special-events.html

Steiner Sports Marketing works with all these athletes and sets up appearances (autograph sessions, baseball card shows, public speaking, etc,etc). That does not mean ANY of them would go out and speak in favor of Republican candidates.

There's simply no evidence that any of the mentioned athletes are Republicans.

130. none will claim repugism on nov 4th nt

[muchacho]

133. Lyle Lovett?!

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

[terrya]

134. Jason Priestley is CANADIAN!!! This list is bullshit!

Granted, there are some people on here that are Republicans...

But, come on. Adam Sandler??? David Spade??

And I'm tired of seeing Jason Priestley on these lists. He's not a Republican and he's not even American, for Christ's sake!

135. Lots of false claims on there

Like kevin Costner, who is pulling for Kerry, Tom Berenger - seems to me the only donations he's made have been to Max Cleland, Clint Eastwood is a Libertarian, more liberal than conservative. Half that list is suspect.

136. hang on! Some of these people are DEAD!

And I dont buy the Baldwins, no way.
:kick:

137. Typical. They want to discount "leftist" celebrities

while claiming some celebrities for their own.

I actually heard some talk radio crackpot discussing this and he was basically just saying you was "conservative" based on his observations. Among the list: Will Smith & Oprah Winfrey (because he "had to get some black people on the list.")

143. Sort of heartbreaking....

some of my favorites are in there.

[sr_pacifica]

144. Ha, I figured Denzel was

But Adam Sandler? James Earl Jones? Dennis Hopper, Jackie Mason, John Malkovich?

[Deja Q]

145. Well golly and shazam!

Jim Nabors, a gay guy (or so says many internet web sites), a repuke. $ talks more than lovin'. :-(

[GreenPartyVoter]

148. Disappointing, to be sure!

[Bridget Burke]

149. Anyone who swallows this list whole...

Will swallow anything.

[ScreamingMeemie]

150. Much of this is heresay. Most of the football players they have on there,

Brett Favre included, have never made a donation or a comment. If they comment on 9/11 some idiot will put them in the RW column. It's a joke. Come on folks, let's choose up sides for the ultimate game of elimination. /sarcasm off.

154. Jane Russell and Glenn Ford are dead.

I bet they still will vote for shrub.

[Spirochete]

157. Naw, they're both alive

They'll probably vote for him twice. hehe

[mvd]

155. Not a great list

No new revelations, and as some as pointed out, it has some mistakes and questionable entries.
