What celebrities are backing Bush?

[Gothic Sponge]

Other than Bruce Willis...

[Reverend_Smitty]

1. Ricky Martin...

if you want to call him a celeberty...He did sing at his inauguration

[ForrestGump]

4. Guess he's in no hurry to get married...

[Bombtrack]

32. That doesn't mean he's "supporting Bush" alot of people who were probably

apolitical would just be honored to attend and perform at a presidential inaguration. Just because they accepted 4 years ago does not mean that they support Bush.

[Mike Daniels]

46. Precisely

Lee Atwater organized a kick-ass R&B revue style ensemble for GHWB's inauguration and most of the musicians were the old soul and blues greats.

I don't figure any of them voted for Bush in either election but they didn't have a problem accepting the invite to perform.

[physioex]

2. Ted Nugent....

If you call him a celebrity or Damn Yankees "music".....

[Dogmudgeon]

3. A partial, tentative list, off the top of my head

I think Bruce Willis is a maybe. The last I heard, he was a staunch, pro-labor Democrat, though he did not like Bill Clinton.

Kelsey Grammar
Patricia Heaton
James Woods
Dennis Miller
Victoria Jackson
Drew Carey (maybe)
Arnold Schwartzenegger
Amy Grant
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson
Toby Keith (maybe -- he's moderated a lot since the Dixie Chicks episode)
Bo Derek (maybe -- pro-gun but otherwise liberal)
Shannen Doherty
Christine Chenoweth
George Ratzinger (from Cheers)
Mike Ditka (taking Jack Ryan's place in his senatorial race)
Michael Moriarity
Pat Sajak

As far as I know, none of them are very strongly ideologically conservative, except for Doherty, Moriarity, Sajak and Ditka; and even Moriarity is a newbie.

Oh, and Dennis Miller, too. This year, anyway.

[swag]

5. Kid Rock, Lara Flynn Boyle

[kikiek]

The Devil Went Down to Georgia guy..Don't like him don't know his name

[swag]

14. Oh, Charlie Daniels

He's a recidivist idiot.

[AlFrankenFan]

37. F***! I used to like Charlie Daniels!

I'm listening to that song right now! Jesus Christ....:grr::grr::grr:

I've never bought a CD before though, all downloaded so I haven't directly supported him :D

[Gothic Sponge]

6. The only ones i find shocking on that list are:

Victoria Jackson and Drew Carey!

[PittPoliSci]

8. yeah really...

since when was victoria jackson a celebrity?

[kikiek]

9. yah ruined it for me with carey liked him before..jackson who cares

[LTR]

10. Drew Carey

Former Marine. Claimed to be a rabid Republican in his autobiography.

[AlCzervik]

11. Victoria jackson is a fundie

She's pro-life

[mitchtv]

23. you mean anti-choice, don't you?

.

[AlCzervik]

25. Yes, another don't have an abortion but once that kids born we

aint doing jack shit to help you, yes thats what i mean.

[curse10]

29. drew carey isn't a surprise to me

he's always been a repug, and a rather nasty one at that

[Zomby Woof]

42. I quit Drew

When he has Rush Limbaugh as a guest on his sitcom.

Then when Chimpy was in power, Drew performed at some lackey function where he derided the concept of the election being stolen, and said Bush won it fairly. :puke:

[LTR]

7. James Woods

Anyone familiar with the 9/11 timeline will remember his 'encounter' with some of the 9/11 hijackers on a test run.

Weird story.

[doctorbombeigh]

13. Yep. I remember Woods' "encounter"

but the one that shocks me is Moriarty.

I absolutely had him pegged as a somewhat flaky Dem. In fact, there were a lot of strange stories about him when he was on that first year of Law & Order - very odd dude. Too odd, I would have thought, for the neo-cons.

Oh well... just shows to go ya.

[Reverend_Smitty]

18. Whats the story with James Woods?

Someone please enlighten me

[liberalmuse]

36. Here's the story in a nutshell:

http://www.snopes.com/rumors/woods.htm

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

19. Wow

what an incredibly impressive list of Hollywood A-list heavy hitters!

(That was fun.)

[Fenris]

21. Damn! The STAR POWAAAAH!!

[ronnykmarshall]

24. Bruce Willis was against the recall of Gov. Davis.

I was as shocked as anyone.

[Catholic Sensation]

39. Mike Ditka isn't even registered to vote in Illinois

how can he take jack ryan's place?

[Zomby Woof]

41. Willis DID campaign for Bush Sr

I remember his ham-handed speech. :puke:

[BurtWorm]

51. You mean Norm or Cliff?

George Wendt or John Ratzinger?

[Screaming Lord Byron]

62. Definitely not Norm.

[PROGRESSIVE1]

58. Thanks!! Now I will boycott these scumbags!

[Robb]

12. World Wrestling Entertainment champion "Victoria"

...seen here with Ed Gillespie and a cardboard cutout of Bush. Or maybe it's the other way around. :D

[anti_shrub]

17. WWE sends people to both parties' rallies

Part of their "Smackdown your Vote" campaign they do every election season. I don't think many wrestlers are very political except for current champ John "Bradshaw" Layfield who's a vocal non thinking Bushite.

[LTR]

43. Bradshaw's a hard-core freeper

Same with an older wrestler, Ultimate Warrior. The guy is certifiably insane.

Most of the WWE wrestlers (yes, including The Rock - who supported Schwarzenegger because he's a friend) do not outright show their politics off camera. But they do appear at partisan events for PR purposes and their voting drive.

[Dogmudgeon]

49. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson

In a short interview a few years ago he said he was a Republican but that he had a lot of liberal beliefs. I got the impression that he's an intelligent guy but he hasn't spent too much time reading politics.

Most non-African-American athletes I'm aware of are right-wing, mainly because they buy into the tough-guy swagger and the "personal responsibility" bloviating of the Rectal Right. Get them on to the more basic issues and they veer to the left. In general, they are as political as their culture allows, and tend not to be very involved at all.

--bkl

[Dogmudgeon]

52. Ultimate Warrior: The "FOKED!" guy?

I posted about him some time ago. He was the Rectal Right's poster boy for a while. His website was dedicated to his "philosophy" about getting "Foked" (Focused).

Insane? Why, that's an affront to the mentally ill! :)

--bkl

[midnight armadillo]

55. Ultimate warrior

Bentley College (business school in MA) had that guy give a talk to some students a while ago - students who tend to be wealthy and conservative. They thought he was totally off his rocker and was waaaay to out-there-freaky conservative for their upper-class white souls.

[neoteric lefty]

31. So can we vote for the cutout

instead of the man. Please!

[PROGRESSIVE1]

60. I've always agreed with Holy Joe LIEberman that we....

should shut down the WWE!!!

[JohnnyRingo]

15. Don King

...Since he already had the wardrobe.

[Reverend_Smitty]

20. His interview with Stephen Colbert was hilarious though

n/t

[JohnnyRingo]

26. Yeah...I wasn't sure if he was playing along as a good sport

...or was he duped.

[StayOutTheBushes]

53. In vino veritas.

[Gothic Sponge]

16. Also i forgot Dennis Hooper

[Lavender Brown]

48. Really weird

considering he is good friends with Sean Penn, who is very liberal and even named his son after him.

[VOX]

56. You're kidding!! Mr. Counterculture himself???

This is very disappointing...

[Cybergata]

57. I Find This Hard to Believe

Especially since I saw Dennis Hopper at a rally in Albuquerque, NM for George McGovern. Hum, I guess a lot can change since 1972. :cry:

Where did you read or hear this?
:hippie:

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

22. Kevin Sorbo

terrible actor from Hercules: The Legendary Journeys

They can have him. We'll keep Paul Newman and Susan Surandon.

[arwalden]

47. Say It Ain't So! -- I enjoy seeing him in Gene Roddenberry's 'Andromeda'

[The Zanti Regent]

27. Steven Baldwin found Jesus and Bush after doing tons of cocaine

just emulating his beloved Führer!

[Reverend_Smitty]

30. I saw him on one of those celebrity poker shows

and he was such a condescending asshole, especially to the female players(who beat his ass). What a smarmy toad...he totally looked high on the show to boot

[russian33]

28. Don't forget Pat Boone and Dixie Carter...

..do they qualify as celebrities?

[mitchum]

33. Running-to-fat Vince Vaughn

I'm so glad that motherfucker's leading man career didn't take off. Fuck him.

[liberalmuse]

35. Damn!

I love Vince Vaughn in the nastiest way possible. Say it isn't so!

[tcfrogs]

44. Sorry, it's true

Don't have a link - but read a USA Today story about his political leanings...

[galadrium]

34. Britney Spears

LOL.

[POed_Ex_Repub]

38. Ron Silver ... Saw him on Faux today cheerleading for the GOP n/t

[PROGRESSIVE1]

59. I was SO PLEASED TO SEE HIS SHOW FAIL!!!

He also supported AHHNULD in Calif and said that a "Split Goverment is best". Gee, I wonder what he thinks about our all Rethug Government in Washington?

:grr:

[DS1]

40. The Ultimate Warrior

Beginning of his enlightened response to F911

Hello warriors.

Happy July 4th, our country’s celebrated Independence Day. Two Hundred and Twenty Eight years ago Time stood at a crossroads. It turned and looked people in the face, asking them if they were ready to live up to their potential. They said yes. Our Republic was created. All these years out from that Founding, our Republic is broken and in need of repair. The most important thing you can do around this time is at least read the Declaration of Independence. When you are finished ask yourself if you will be one who further injures its cause or one who works to repair it and keep it alive.


Fanatical times demand stalwart measures. Push comes to shove, you are always better off throwing a punch. Intellectually or literally. And don’t stop throwing it until it reaches its full end. Punch through the target, not to the target. Political correctness being unwelcome here, let me here at the start shove that illegitimate to the ditch. There, that’s better.



Michael Moore and “Fahrenheit 9/11.”

I didn’t see it. I won’t. I don’t have to to smell all I need to know about Moore and his polluted, subversive goals. And I don’t understand how those calling themselves real conservatives can patronize the film and put pelf in Moore’s pocket to further finance goals they claim to despise. Just what is it that good people do not understand? The greatest power you have to effect change in the World about those things you do not approve, is to first take control of how you think and act; consider what you yourself choose to do. In this case, what you choose to buy, spend your money on -- i.e., support and condone. Go ahead, you go to the movie...

Read what others have to say about the crowds, the kind of people that were there to see it. Read about the putrid, heinous, immature, anti-American behavior of those people. You down with that? You ok with that kind of behavior coming right in your front room? You better be, because if you are subsidizing its meal ticket you're helping to breed and multiply it. You ever see a piece of dog poop on the ground not absolutely covered in flies? Reminds me of liberals. Lefty liberals flock to turdish behaviors and happenings to keep from having to smell the stench of their shitty selves. Like flies on the piece of poop, all those noses stuck in it, they can lie amongst themselves and say it is rose petals in Barbra Streisand's toilet bowl. What is it conservatives (who say they are paying attention) didn’t know about Moore and his ways before they went? What more did they learn by going?

45. WHAT? Nobody mentioned Tom Selleck?

Alex Trebek is also Republican.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

61. Didn't know that about Alex Trebek. Interesting.

[RebelOne]

50. We must not forget Dennis Miller, the unfunny comedian.

[LionInWinter]

54. Ben Stein gave $ to Nader ...

After maxing-out his contributions to the chimp

Now I wonder why he would do that? }(

http://www.newsmeat.com/fec/bystate_detail.php?st=CA&last=Stein&first=Benjamin

[sus]

63. that skank Jami Gertz and Reba freaking McEntire.

damned Okie!

and Elmo's Fire sucked!

[PROGRESSIVE1]

64. add Adulterers Vince Gill and Amy Grant to that list.

They even have a "bastard" child to boot!

Such hypocracy by the right!

:grr:
