I'll admit I'm disappointed in a large number of them that I actually enjoy.

(On edit: A number of them aren't the brightest bulbs in the pack so on them I really wasn't surprised.)

1. heh - that list is chock full of Teh Stoopid.

[Drale]

2. I can totally believe Britney Spears is a tea bagger

[bighughdiehl]

3. They overlooked...

Gary Sinise. Quite an oversight. I enjoy watching his work as
Mack on CSI NY.

[Erose999]

10. "Lieutenant Dan" is a teabagger? KInda makes sense, he was a pretty angry guy.

23. George Carlin said it best

I'm paraphrasing, I don't have the exact quote. But basically he said Hollywood types pretend to be liberal and support various and sundry causes, but at their core they are most interested in making money, and that's the most conservative activity of all. So at heart they're really conservatives.

[KamaAina]

4. Oh, how the mighty have fallen

they misspelled Rick Schroder's name twice. :rofl:

[Flubadubya]

5. The Coal Miner's Daughter... say it isn't so!!

As I scrolled through all I could say to most of these ding-dongs was "Duh, usual suspect", but when I saw Loretta Lynn I wanted to cry.

How in holy hell can that woman be a Rethug??!! She really was a coal miner's daughter and grew up poor as a church mouse. I was ALWAYS sure she was a democrat. Oh waaahhh!! :cry::argh:

[Warpy]

13. Appalachia has been largely Republican since the Civil War

which is still a hell of a long time to hold a grudge, probably reflecting the region's strong Celtic heritage. That country singers with roots there are registered GOP is no surprise. That doesn't mean they've voted that way since the party went crazy, although most do.

There really weren't any surprises on that list. Most of them are really rather conventional thinkers and non innovative talents.

[HelenWheels]

19. Yeah, but Loretta is rich now

And rich trumps it all.

[KansDem]

6. I need to get out more!

I recognized only a handful of them! :(

8. 'Political party bullshit' is this board's raison d'etre

As long as we're tossing around authoritarian admonitions, don't let this fact escape your notice.

[blondeatlast]

27. Dammit...

I'm too tired to clean up the soda from my keyboard! :spray:

[hlthe2b]

9. Clint Eastwood is more libertarian than RETHUG

and old school at that-- I cut him a bit of slack. Gloria Estefan actually campaigned for Obama, so despite her conservative Cuban roots, I think she is more an independent.


The rest are a bunch of "has beens" in terms of talent or (never beens) in some cases. No loss.

[dixiegrrrrl]

11. James Woods???? James Earl Jones???

But..they both have high IQs.....whatsthemadda with them???

[Very_Boring_Name]

12. I've taught myself to overlook the actors political leanings

It stung a little at first to find out that Kelsey Grammar is a repug when he did that stupid "An American Carol" movie (Fraser is one of my favorite shows), but I just sort of shove it to the back of my mind.

[Erose999]

14. Action movie stars, ditzy blonde actresses, race car drivers, and country music stars.

Really diverse group there that defies a lot of stereotypes about the GOOP. :sarcasm:

[fascisthunter]

16. lol... hammer, meet nail

[EmeraldCityGrl]

15. James Woods always creeped me out, now I know why.

[nxylas]

17. A lot of country singers in there

Who'da thunk it?

[PSzymeczek]

18. When was the last time

most of these people had anything resembling a career?

[GoCubsGo]

20. Why do people feel compelled to construct such lists?

Do they feel inadequate because so many celebrities are NOT republicans? :shrug: They reek of some sort of "Look! We are just as good as you" desperation.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

21. Not Buffy!!!!!!!

Say it isn't so!!!!!!! :banghead:

[sakabatou]

26. At least Willow isn't on that list

[Proud Liberal Dem]

29. True

or Faith- now THAT would be huge tragedy!!!

[Skittles]

22. celebs?

washed-up hacks

[Jefferson23]

24. Johnnie Ramone? I seriously doubt that, more likely he registered R as a goof. n/t

[BlueState]

25. No that's a real one...

...Johnnie was an outspoken conservative and supporter or Ronald Reagan.

[Jefferson23]

30. Well that's too bad but thanks for the info. n/t

[walldude]

28. No it's true.. Johnny was a real asshole. There are plenty of

docs and books about it...

[Jefferson23]

31. I had no idea, and you're right, a quick look at wiki even has him

as stating Punk was right wing...LOL

Thanks for the info.

[walldude]

32. If you are interested Joey's brother wrote a book

called "I Slept With Joey Ramone".. it was a great read and offered a lot of insight into the Ramones... Should be in paperback by mow..

[Jefferson23]

33. Thanks walldude, appreciate the tip. n/t

[Tommy_Carcetti]

34. They forgot Chuggo.
