Celebrity donations to candiates - Not sure why Jerry Bruckheimer & Lorne Michales would
Edited on Tue Jan-15-08 05:32 PM by Hawaii Hiker
give to a Republcian (McCain)....Republicans hate the First Amendment (they only give a shit about the 2nd. Amendment) & would love nothing more than to censor violent & sexually explicit films....

So when McCain appoints far right judges who would rule against the entertainment industry in cases, Bruckheimer/Michaels can't complain...

2. Also, it's interesting how many celebs seem to be hedging their bets...
Spielberg, Tom Hanks, Streisand, Rosie O'Donnell, Michael Douglas...interesting.

10. I don't consider it hedging bets... I consider it that they like them
and are trying to help them.

7. Thanks, Hawaii Hiker~
It's good to know for me who supports whom..as an avid movie buff.

Gawd Damn jerry bruckheimer..he hasn't learned a freakin' thing over the last 7 years. he's the producer of all these good shows I like but the actors in them are for Dems, at least.

13. I don't know how anyone in Hollywood could support a Republican
Well, I don't know how anyone PERIOD could support a fucking Republican....That really surprised me about Bruckheimer (I wonder if he was a wild as his former business partner Don Simpson http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Simpson) as I said, see how friendly McCain WON'T be to the Hollywood crowd if that dope is elected POTUS...He'll go Mike Huckabee crazy on them probably saying something like the Hollywood sign needs to be replaced with the 10 Commandments, etc..

Someone at work sent me that, so I don't have a link for that original list...

14. I've read that jerry bruckheimer is
a repub before..enough to cringe when his name comes up at the end of CSI and all the others. I kept hoping that he would see the light over the bushit years. he has a reason and I'm wondering if it's because of his freakin' tax cuts?

Thanks again for this cause some of my favorites are supporting my candidate. Go Chris Rock!
