1. I still love Bruce Willis movies though
I mean, it's a guilty pleasure, but it's true. I thought Hart's War was excellent. I'm not like the Freepers who hate everything Tim Robbins (or someone like him) touches just because of his political views.

For that matter, I like Favreaux too.

5. Aw c'mon...Willis wasn't any good in that movie.
His only good things are: Moonlighting, Die Hard and Death Becomes Her.

Excellent comedic actor...should stick to that nowadays.

Tom Selleck
Beau what's her name from "10"
Charlton "Moses" Heston

25. Bruce Willis tends to play the bad guy, so it's an okay feeling...
The Siege being a GREAT example.

2. Kelsey Grammar (sp?) and Drew Carey?
I know KG is, and the only thing I can remember from drew is some dinner (press?) where he ridiculed Dems for claiming that the 2000 election was stolen by the bush gang. For that alone, I say "hey drew, f*** you."

4. To me, politics and people are seperate...



I do everything to help the cause and I correct lies when I hear one that outright pisses me off but I have very good conservative friends.

I'm not like these blacklisting psychos who hate Hollywood political types. I love "Swingers" and Favreaux and Vince Vaugn are both Republicans...who cares? They are both great in that movie.

8. I'm not going to boycott them
I just think it's interesting. Hollywood freepers are rare and I'm just interested to try to find out why they are freepers when most of Hollywood are liberals.

19. beg to disagree
I am at the point that I will not aid or abet any of these guys becoming wealthier and using their celebrity to help the likes of Bush.

Money spent on their movies or whatever is money better spent on a democratic (big and small 'd') cause, like DU!

10. Tom Sellick (who?), James Belushi, etc...
B-listers.

They might possess the seat of Federal Government right now, but we possess the truth. Not to mention, the TALENT.


If They'll Vote For GOPHER, They'll Vote For ANYONE.

11. Didn't Neil Young help promote Ashkkkroft's Patriot act?
I seem to recall reading that the Oiliest Lawyer of them all gave some kind of civic award to Neil for his support.

Yes, to the man who sang Carry On, Ohio etc.

13. just because they are conservative desn't make them "Freepers"!
My view of a freeper is a closed minded "Moran" devoid of rational thought, hygene and communication skills.

I work with two "Republicans"

I) I can communicate with, hold long political discussions with, and he acknowledges my points. He claims that Reagan was the best president in his lifetime, and is ashamed to admit that he is foced to vote for Kerry because Bush is too far out there.

2) A nut job. Has made rampant bigotted statements towards both co-workers and students (I work for a university). He has been reprimanded for intentionally segregating the dining hall, calls Basketball "Monkeys playing with a coconut", Loves the all-white hockey team, and never shies away from bringing up his religious believes to unsuspecting innocents. He was caught in a porno bookstore by a female co-worker- in the gay porn section, but still makes homo-phobic comments. This guy is a freeper.


So, Hollywood, I would not list the likes of Willis, Stalone, etc. as Freepers.
Drew Carey, Heston, Ted Nugent, and their ilk, Yes.
