[Scootaloo]

1. A reminder that celebrities aren't perfect, either

Pat Sajac is a Republican? Chuck Norris? Ben Stein?

[hamsterjill]

2. My two biggest surprises?

Alice Cooper and Shannon Doherty.

With their histories, I think they need to rethink their party affiliations!

[CBHagman]

6. I hate myself for remembering this, but...

...when Shannen Doherty was in Beverly Hills, 90210 she was quite outspoken about being a Republican.

[hamsterjill]

14. Wow, I didn't know that.

I'm OLD enough to know that, but didn't!

[monmouth]

24. LLCoolJ??? Really. I'm ill..n/t

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

26. He supported Koch, but I also think he supported Hillary. Not sure he's still a Republican...

...and if he is, then that's just another reason why I never liked him in the first place.

[monmouth]

33. I really like him on NCIS - Los Angeles. This bums me out no end....n/t

[etherealtruth]

39. I can't wrap my mind around it

....the other's didn't make me flinch or care ....but, LL cool J ...come on

[Raine]

35. Alice Cooper is a long time repub going way back, he supported Richard Nixon.

[notadmblnd]

3. and they're all mediocre or has-beens too.

[BOG PERSON]

8. you think clint eastwood is a has-been?

[Violet_Crumble]

36. Johnny Ramone is dead, not mediocre or a has-been!

And I still think he was awesome despite only now finding out he was a Republican....

[AverageJoe90]

5. Welll.....

Some of these guys may wanna re-think their party affilations......like James Earl Jones and Alice Cooper.

[Drale]

7. Just another reason not to like Sammy Hagar

Most of those are no surprise.

[truebrit71]

10. Right?

[Dawson Leery]

32. After what happened to the Dixie Chicks,

the country music community has no reason to complain if their politics are held against them.

[truebrit71]

9. Very surprised to see James Earl Jones on that list..

...the rest I knew about...

Plus, they all pretty much suck don't they? Drew Carey, a very un-funny comedian, Adam Sandler has been playing the same part in different movies for over a decade now and they STILL aren't funny, Alice Cooper stopped being musically relevant 30 years ago, the only one that had anything like a decent body of work is the afore-mentioned J.E. Jones...

[Johonny]

12. there's a difference between registering Republican

and actively being a part of the Republican party.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

15. My mom first registered to vote as a Republican decades ago.

But she hadn't voted Republican in a presidential election since Nixon, always voted Democratic since.

But she didn't get around to re-registering until 2004.

[WI_DEM]

13. James Earl Jones is part of a fundraiser in New York of B'way performers for Obama

James Earl Jones, Angela Lansbury, Patti LuPone, Audra McDonald, Mandy Patinkin, Nina Arianda, Kerry Butler, Norbert Leo Butz, Bobby Cannavale, Stockard Channing, Megan Hilty and Cheyenne Jackson are some of the performers slated to attend the June 4 fundraiser.

[RFKHumphreyObama]

21. He also made comments indicating he was pleased at Obama's election

He's a member of the NRA and supported the Iraq War but he seems to like President Obama

From that list, Tony Danza also supported President Obama in 2008

[trof]

40. Same here.

[Lint Head]

11. For most of these people I never liked their work.

Didn't know they were Repukes. Now I know why there work was repugnant to me.

[hyphenate]

16. Actually

Drew Carey is a Liberatarian.

Penn and Teller are also Liberatarians.

Bruce Willis disavowed GWB vehemently, and has switched to being an ndependent.

Stephen Baldwin has been treated by the rest of the Baldwin family as being an idiot.

Gary Sinise is also a Republican, and as Mac Taylor on CSI:NY, the picture of RR is real.



There are a lot of good Republicans in this world. People just don't get that there are a lot of real, concrete Republicans who stand for fiscal conservation and conservative views on social issues. That's not a crime. What IS a crime is the extreme right taking over the party and destroying it.

People don't also understand that the 8 years of Bush was a complete distraction from the real Repug agenda, which was to pretty much replace decent moderative conservatives in office with teabaggers, religious nutcases, and wealthy donor ass-kissers. That coup was achieved.


Amended: Doris Day is also a Republican, Jimmy Stewart was a Republican, and Britney Spears adored GWB.

[stuntcat]

23. nooo, don't tell me that about Doris Day :((

I like that she helped animals some. But what is known cannot be unknown

I guess I can give very old people a little more slack though.

[tanyev]

42. She loves dogs--I'm guessing she's not a big Romney fan.

[EFerrari]

31. "Conservative views on social issues" is code for bigotry. nt

[a la izquierda]

43. That's nice...

my mom and mother-in-law are Republicans, as are most of my family members.
I would dare you to say that to my face. I vehemently disagree with their politics, but they have every right to them.

And I, anonymous person, am a socialist.

[WillParkinson]

44. That's disgusting...

On so many levels. I disagree with Republicans on almost every front, but I would never wish someone dead simply for that fact.

[Skidmore]

17. I've never even seen 75% of these people perform.

Some of them I've never even heard of.

[Egalitarian Thug]

18. James Earl Jones was a surprise.

Is it fair to include dead guys? They missed quite a few and considering the questionable celebrity status of several of these, I'm putting this piece down as filler from a lazy writer.

[louis-t]

19. I can see almost all of Pat Heaton's family values...

er, family jewels, er....

[RebelOne]

20. Karl Malone does not surprise me.

I worked at a hunting and fishing magazine and we did an article about what a great hunter he was. Hunting guides trapped a cougar in a pit and Malone jumped in and shot it. What a big brave hunter he was.

[stuntcat]

22. they left off John Malkovich

that's sad about LL Cool J.. I guess

[applegrove]

25. I was so disappointed when I found out Jimmy Stewart was a Republican. Nothing matters after

that.

[TheMightyFavog]

29. I seem to recall Steweart was seriously against abolishing the Draft int he 70s...

Can anyone confirm this?

[Jamaal510]

27. LL Cool Fool and Fiddy Cent are Republicans?

Never thought I'd live to see a Republican rapper...I thought Republicans hate hip-hop. But besides them, I haven't heard of most of the people on that list before except Karl Malone, Kelsey Grammar, Chuck, Mel, and The Rock.

[BlueIris]

37. You didn't know that about good old Curtis?

Curtis has been quite vocal about his pro-Republican ways for some time.

[sakabatou]

28. My surprises:

James Earl Jones
Karl Malone
Sarah Michelle Gellar

[GoneOffShore]

30. List is a bit bizarre and possibly outdated.

And although some of these folks can influence others, most can't, except through donations.

[WCGreen]

34. I don't mind people being republicans....

But being ass holes about it is something else.

I have actually met Drew Carey and Patricia Heaton.

Drew Carey use to hang out at the bar I was a short order cook for when he was still developing his schtick in Cleveland Supper Clubs... He was really full of himself. I guess some people are like that and stay i that bravado to convince themselves that they are talented and rich. He was okay to deal with on a personal level and he was funny. One night we ran into him at a Pere Ubu concert back in the 70's and we had a great time.

My beef with Carey was that he made a big deal about locating his sit com in Cleveland but never once shot any shows here. He also could have brought his wait wait charade show and based it out of Cleveland if he really wanted to boost the area like he always said. But I guess the lure of lotus land is too much.

I only met Ms Heaton one time. She sang for the choir in the next door bedroom suburb. Their choir and ours would get together at Christmas time and have a joint concert to raise money for both our programs.

Her dad was the best sports reporter at the Cleveland Plain Dealer, one of the largest city papers in the country at that time. She knew some of the people I hung out with and she came over and I introduced myself to her. She was a typical suburban princess back in 1974....

That's my sum total of people republicans I knew in Show Business.

Although Dick Jacobs, the guy who owned the Cleveland Indians when they were knocking the hide off the ball in the 90's. My MIL was good friends with his wife and they gave MrsWCGreen a bridal shower at their manson. She was nice and gave me $100 bucks for my state house run in 1994.

Sorry for runing on, just took a few vicadins and I am up in the hospital room enjoying some pain free time....

[Rhiannon12866]

38. That was fine, actually very interesting.

Sending healing thoughts that you're feeling better soon...
