Clint Eastwood Endorsing Romney's Presidential Bid

Source: huffingtonpost.com

SUN VALLEY, Idaho — Clint Eastwood just made Mitt Romney's day.

The Oscar-winning director and longtime movie star says he's endorsing the Republican presidential candidate.

Eastwood tells The Associated Press that he's backing Romney because, in Eastwood's words, "I think the country needs a boost."

Eastwood was among those attending a Romney fundraiser Friday night in Sun Valley, Idaho.

"i think the country needs a boost" . sounds like he was bored or something.

maybe the true reason is the same as that porn that endorsed him.

Wouldn't associate with the loony right wing on purpose. Especially with all the lies Rmoney has told. I kind of figure Clint was a Repuke, but not this kind of Repuke. A boost? WTF.

that hes actually pretty good even though he is a republican even though I cant agree on his support of McCain in 08 nor Romney.

6. He's always been a right winger. Never liked him after he acted like an asshole when I saw him.

I used to stay at his hotel in Carmel, but the last few times we were there he acted like a complete asshole to everyone around him. Won't waste my money there again.

Last edited Fri Aug 3, 2012, 11:37 PM USA/ET - Edit history (1)

I used to work for a nursery in SF who did plants and landscaping for some movies in the City. So we did most of the Dirty Harry series. he wasn't the director on the movies but you could tell he was close to the directors and not just the star.

Perhaps he wasn't happy in Carmel doing the bed and breakfast thing, because it looked like he was having lots of fun doing movies. That is no excuse for being an asshat, but I don't like Carmel either.

I know what's going on with the people who want Obama gone. They want to see the state of economics artificially inflated again. They want deregulation so that we can bubble up all over again That's it.

I don't get how anybody can be semi-conscious and not
see the Republican agenda for environment & war, not
to mention economy.

And not see Romney for purely and simply a liar.

only movies I have w/ Clint & I will never watch any of other his stuff again.

In tarantula he flys the F-84 that napalms the arachnid, wearing an oxygen mask, no face visible, 3 or 4 lines.

In E vs the FS, he sits in a jeep & plays w/ the radio, no lines.

17. Looks like Mitt has the 'early stages of dementia' voters locked down.

Clint Eastwood is a hypocrite whose contradictory and self serving words have all the nuance of Dirty Harry's gun.
Just an idiotic old fart with money he clutches to.

28. Clint is a Republican. Always has been. He's known McCain personally since 1973. Why did anyone


think he would support Obama. He wished Obama well after the 2008 election and the Freepers went ape shit and DUers thought he had an epiphany. He was just being polite. He also harbors a crush for Ron Paul and calls himself a libertarian. He is conservative and anti war. That sounds like a Paulite to me.
