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. Read more: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/08/03/clint-eastwood-romney-endorses_n_1740021.html

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. |

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. |

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. |
