There still are a couple of decent Repubs --Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins from Maine come to mind. Someone posted in another thread regarding the necessity of keeping decent Repubs from changing parties. My guess is that if there were still some moderates around to help keep that party in check and from going off the rails (too late, I suppose), then maybe they would be more useful staying within the party. An interesting concept. What is your opinion on this idea?

| 146. I know that both these women are moderates, by today's standards, |
 |
but to me, any repub who hasn't vehemently denounced the direction their party has been headed since Reagan has pretty much lost any respect I might have had for them. I think the Democratic party has more than enough blue dogs already and doesn't need the likes of these two, nor Specter to join their ranks. Let em stay where they are and maybe somehow try to save their party from going full-on fascist ( which I also believe is probably a done deal). But yeah, I'm old enough to remember decent and honorable moderate, and even ( believe it or not, kids) liberal republicans. Been one hell of a long time since that though. Really since the mid to late 60's...

Snowe & Collins may be moderate compared to the other 38 Republicans in the Senate, but they are still to the right of many Republicans from the 80s and earlier (There used to be a "Gang of Six" moderate Republicans in the Senate from the 1970s and 80s from the northeast - Lowell Weicker of CT (more liberal than many of today's Democrats), Chaffee from Rhode Island, and a few others whose names I forget, that were true moderates.

Barry Goldwater was a moderate compared to the raving, hate-filled lunatics that have overrun the GOP.
Sure he was hawkish, but he had nothing but contempt for the religious loonies...I've heard more then once he didn't exactly get along with Reagan either and he generally fell more in line with the libertarian "stay the hell out of my bedroom" position on social issues in his later career.

He was utterly brilliant in that role and he could have been conservative in it, but in that context, it didn't matter. The fact that he has a RW hate-radio show now, disappoints the heck outta me...

Did he and Doyle not actually READ the scripts they were performing? How can they possibly have read all of the stuff about Clark and Nightwatch and not see it play out in the Bush admin?
I've heard Tracy Scoggins is one as well but can't confirm it.

Scoggins is hard to read. I did come to accept her as the Commander of B5, but her delivery of her lines was always a bit odd. Not quite wooden, but off.
Still, they are good actors, and I enjoy listening to their commentary on the various episodes.

I think he's a genuine Libertarian. Doesn't like people telling him what to do, even if it's for his own good or for the good of those around him.
Not that I agree with him on much, but I'm not certain he was ever avowedly pro-GOP. I could be wrong, though.

“I have a really interesting political point of view, and it’s not always something I say too loud at dinner tables here, but you can’t go from a $2,000-a-night suite at La Mirage to a penitentiary and really understand it and come out a liberal. You can’t. I wouldn’t wish that experience on anyone else, but it was very, very, very educational for me and has informed my proclivities and politics every since.” http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/20/movies/20carr.html?_r...

and has been interviewed (I'm sure it's on the web somewhere) wherein he explained his vote for Reagan was because of the image Reagan portrayed, and Eastwood was very rapidly very disappointed with him and didn't make the same mistake.
If there was ever a philosophical libertarian Hollywood star, it's Eastwood.

now. Also, I think I remember hearing Dennis Hopper say on "The View" (before the election) that he was a Obama supporter. I think Bush made quite a few folks really re-think what being a Republican is in this day and age. One of my best friend's sister and her husband who had always been Repubs are now Democrats who voted for Obama. I'm shocked to hear that about Robert Downey. Jr. I'm going to check that out more in depth because that would break my heart too.

| 111. You and me both. Sad that a real actor like Emily Watson had to be in one of his tasteless films. |

...to "digg," or otherwise mark as awesome, comments made on DU? Because this is so very true. If I see him or Nick Swardson in a film, I know to change the channel ASAP.

I forget that people take statements literally.
I was kidding about the donations - just making the point that she had a lot of BAD plastic surgery

| 165. That's the one that got to me, too... |

I thought she was terrific on "Northern Exposure," smart and attractive, then I saw her on Larry King, saying that she was so thrilled when Sarah Palin was nominated that she broke down and cried... WTF?!

| 64. I don't particularly care...makes me think less of them as people... |
 |
But not necessarily as an actor...
Still enjoy Bruce Willis in most movies, loved the Terminator flicks, grew up on Mary Tyler Moore...watch 10 Commandments every year etc

I don't dislike people because they're Republican. I just don't like them. Indifferent, I guess, but I'll still see their movies.
As for Bruce Willis, I think he's more moderate now than a few years ago.
