What do these three have in common?

Quick, what do these three have in common?







A: They're all wash-up talentless relics of a bygone era.

They're also prominent conservative supporters.

Think about that for a second. When it comes to celebrity endorsement, these three are among the BEST that the conservatives can muster up.

You'd be very hard-pressed to find an "A-list" celebrity who is currently relevant come out in support of any of the rethug candidates.

1. There's few talented conservative actors for one simple reason.

Acting, as a rule, requires you to be able to mentally put yourself inside someone else's head, and see the world from another perspective. That's not typically something conservatives are good at. There are conservative actors, certainly--once in awhile they're even good. But most of them tend to develop one generic "character" and apply that to every role.

8. You are all wrong. They all make women simply objects, in their crafts.

Women are CHICKS, to the hair dude. Groupies, to satisfy urges. Same with the Nuge. Same respect as gene Simmons. Norris while not directly disrespecting them, simply has no room in his world for them. Props.

The reason why a celebrity is OK with Rethugs, is they arent egalitarian. Not one of those asshats is decent. They are symbols of male prerogatives. Whether killing men, or beasts, or guitars, they exude who gives a damn, it is all about me.

9. Ah, the North American Chicken Hawk

All puffed up on notions of self-importance, the North American Chicken Hawk bloviates endlessly and always seeks the spotlight. The chicken hawk is strangely missing whenever real work or thought is required.
