"Hollywood is out of touch with America." I guess that includes Fred Thompson, right? |
|
And maybe Ronald Reagan? And what about Kelsey Grammer and Patricia Heaton? I guess they're out of touch too. It's kind of interesting how the Republicans can look past it in their cases, but when someone's a little liberal, they pounce using that "out of touch" BS, isn't it?
Maybe it's just the Republicans who are out of touch?

1. And don't forget Ahnold... |
|
And they call liberals the "Hollywood elite". I don't get it. We don't elect actors. They do.

2. Oh yeah, I forgot him. |
|
And wasn't Sunny Bono a Republican?
Actually, I can't think of anyone off the top of my head who was an actor and ran for office as a Democrat.

8. Sonny Bono most certainly was a Republican..... |
|
The whining on the Right about Hollywood is such crap. You're right. I don't think any Democratic actors have run for office.

9. A couple have, but not as many in recent years... |
|
most of the people I've never even heard of. I went and looked it up in Wiki just to give me some general direction, and I couldn't really find that many.

5. Can you even think of a Hollywood actor who ran as a Democrat? |

I don't think I can off the top of my head, maybe someone else has someone in mind.
I found one so far: Not an actor, but John Hall ran on our side, and Al Franken will run next year.
And :rofl: Jerry Springer was the Democratic Mayor of Cincinnati!

13. Ben Jones, who played Cooter from "Dukes Of Hazzard," was a Democrat |
|
from Georgia. His district was gerrymandered into Newt Gingrich's, if my memory is correct.

10. Hollywood in it's fantasy, superficiality, and vanity IS America. |
|
That ain't no TV screen. It's a mirror.
The truth hurts.

11. Who the hell is Fred Thompson? |

Seriously. I have never heard of him. Must be another talented, A-list Republican actor.
