Oh No....Harrison Ford for McCain? Bummah.

[Armstead]

Was watching Shootout, a movie talk show on the AMC network. They were talking about the election and which celebrities were supporting whom. One of the hosts mentioned Harrison Ford is in McCain's corner.

He's one of my fave actors, I kinda thought he was a liberal Democrat. Maybe not. Ohhh I hope that's wrong.

1. Longtime GOP - no surprise (so is Calista Flockhart)

[Lisa0825]

6. Not true.

See my link in post #2. Harrison Ford only has one Republican donation on file at Newsmeat, and lots of Dems. He must just have a thing for McCain. Maybe he believed that BS about him being a maverick.

[Lisa0825]

2. He has mostly supported Democrats, but supported McCain in 2000 as well.

Maybe she was right. :think:

4. He's an Old Coot

Bump

5. They're making an age comparison

Some writers have tried to make an age comparison because McCain is running for President at age 71, while pointing out that Ford is still going strong as Indiana Jones at age 65.

That's all.

7. That is rather poopy. It's carbonite time, Harrison.

I thought he was with us. Oh well, we have ways of dealing with the likes of him.

10. Last Crusade for McLame

That is what is going to happen. McLame will go into his Last Crusade against Obama and he will perish in the Temple of Doom. Harrison Ford has always benn in the GOP so this is not surprising

[brentspeak]

12. "Harrison Ford has always benn in the GOP"

Where'd you get this information from?

8. Here are Harrison Ford's political donations....

Not a straight up Repuke.

9. More than a few Dems are saying they'd as soon vote for McCain as Obama.

Or even prefer McCain to Obama. I just won't vote for Obama, can't imagine voting for McCain. Cynthia McKinney may be the Green Party nominee and there's always Nader, or writing in Dennis Kucinich. The Democratic Party needs to be sent a message to give us better candidates and act like the left instead of constantly moving right.

[vi5]

16. Yeah, and NOBODY is saying that about Hillary...

It's near impossible to find someone who is saying they'd sooner vote for McCain than Senator Clinton, right? Or that they'd prefer him to her. It's pretty much only people who wouldn't vote for Obama.

[lapfog_1]

21. My entire family, minus ME

will vote for McCain over Hillary.

Half will vote for Obama over McCain.

I'm voting Dem, but I'm the only one.

[brentspeak]

11. Maybe someone should get confirmation before going ahead with this rumor?

[UALRBSofL]

13. That's three on my list I wont watch or listen to any more

First One: Mel Gibson, supported Bush and is anti-semitic

Second One: Britney Spears, supported Bush

Third One: Harrison Ford, supports McCain

[brentspeak]

15. Wait. How do you know that Harrison Ford is supporting McCain?

You're basing your information from what you learned 4th-hand on a web chat board????

(Actually, even if it was true, I don't see why anyone would refuse to watch Harrison Ford movies. But that's another issue altogether.)

[UALRBSofL]

18. brentspeak, seriously, I use to like Mel Gibson

And after all the stuff about his anti-semitic remarks when he was drunk and then supporting Bush did it for me. When I see a movie with him in it I refuse to watch it. I have felt this way for years. Same with Britney Spears when she came out to support Bush in 04.

19. ....

17. Britney Spears knows who the president is???

I'm shocked to hear of her depth of knowledge.

[Crunchy Frog]

22. From looking at the actual record

it looks like his support has been completely Dem apart from one donation to McCain in 2000. He also donated $1,000 to Al Gore's campaign, and $10,000 to the DNC. Do you think it might be possible that he supported McCain's primary run in order to try to stop Chimpy? He would hardly be the only liberal or Democrat to have done that. I can't believe that anyone would honestly lump him together with Mel Gibson.

[Eric J in MN]

14. Harrison Ford gave $10,000 to the DNC in 2000.

http://www.newsmeat.com/celebrity_political_donations/Harrison_Ford.php

John McCain is the only Republican listed there which he's donated to.

[renate]

20. it's fun reading the master list of celebrities

http://www.newsmeat.com/celebrity_political_donations/

Harrison Ford's been donating to Democrats (including my beloved late senator Paul Simon :loveya:) with the sole exception of McCain. I forgive him. :)
