Sigh. Head meet desk. Celebs who are proud to be Republican (look who believes in 'family' values)

[WillParkinson]

The Grand Ol' Party
These stars believe in small government, tax deduction, and conservative family values. Or at least that's what their party stands for. One thing's certain: these famous Republicans stand apart from the majority of Hollywood figures who lean left politically. Check out our list of celebrities who are proud to be Republican.

1. Some of those are pretty sketchy...

Yeah, Arnold, Nugent, Norris, Kelsey Grammer, etc. Those are obvious. But the others are sort of based on conjecture or somewhat outdated. I mean yeah Clint Eastwood has been a registered Republican since I was a teenager and he was mayor of Carmel, CA. But he's also openly said that there are a lot of policies he's not down with and that the party has changed since he became politically involved. And some of the other ones also. While I'd be more than happy for their team to have Britney Spears, calling her a Republican is really based on that one quote about supporting the president.

5. Eastwood did donate to McCain's 2008 campaign:

2. Most of them look just horribly ill or something.

These hi-def shots, ewwww.

[smirkymonkey]

3. Interesting, with a FEW exceptions, they are mostly stupid,

talentless and unlikeable.

[Dawson Leery]

4. This list is questionable.

[wndycty]

7. I agree. . .the lists always are. . .

. . .Republican or Democrat for the celeb to be counted I think they should be an outspoken partisan. The criteria is pretty flimsy. Party registration and voting patterns are deceiving. If someone votes for Obama or supports some of his initiatives does that identify them as Democrat

[Dawson Leery]

17. Eastwood is quite open about his tolerance of other people.

He is not reactionary.

[skypilot]

6. Have some of them even LOOKED at...

...the Republican party lately? How the hell can Kelsey Grammer make the pro-gay marriage statement that he made and then act as though the Republican party is the one that respects the kind of "individualism" that would make gay marriage possible? What rock is he living under? Clint Eastwood sounds as though he isn't sure what the republicans stand for at all.

[JoeyT]

28. Kelsey Grammer is a libertarian, I think.

It's all about priorities.

He prioritizes tax cuts over any kind of equality or freedom even though he claims to believe in both. Which sounds like a lot of libertarians, now that I think about it.

[lapislzi]

8. Few surprises here.

Except Alex Trebek. That makes me sad. I'll have to put away my photo of him and me (#humblebrag)

[MADem]

14. He lost his mind when he lost the moustache, perhaps?

Besides, he's originally Canadian! Didn't become a citizen until 1998.

The rich are often Republicans--they want to hang on to THEIR MONEY, you see. And Alex is pretty frigging rich, with his thoroughbred horse ranch and winery.... http://www.jeopardyinfo.com/JeopardyCast.htm


He's also not the "intellectual sweetheart" everyone thinks he is--listen to him repeatedly uttering his two favorite phrases--'fuck' and 'son of a bitch!'

9. conservative family values?

Like denying marriage to couples who want it? That's the first thing that comes to mind when I hear that phrase.

[in_cog_ni_to]

10. Adam Sandler???????(*&^%$# Alice Cooper??? Are you kidding me?

Matthew McConaughey???? Adam Sandler just broke my heart. I LOVED him. Dammit! I just bought a bunch of Sandler movies to stream...and would NEVER have done that had I known I was giving $$$ to a rethug. :grr:

I've already stopped watching Bruce Willis, Clint Eastwood, Kelsey Grammer, Mel Gibson, Arnold, Stallone, and Chuck Norris ANYTHING...on principle.

[Lorien]

25. Yeah, Alice Cooper. He was on "That '70's show" several times, and the Producers

almost never allowed anyone on that show who wasn't a card carrying repug.

[saras]

11. OMG! As if the actual selection wasn't bad enough, Britney Spears has three tits!

Thanks. I needed that. I think.

[sinkingfeeling]

12. "tax deduction"?? Don't you mean tax reduction?

[EC]

13. I saw 30 second rate B movie people

but no real celebs or stars. When an actor or actress have no imagination (which repubs don't)they can't be very good at their craft. Repubs have no emphathy and that's what good artists draw from.

[frogmarch]

15. Robert Duvall is a repuke too

He said if being a republican was good enough for Abraham Lincoln, it was good enough for him. :silly:

[Raine]

24. Yup he's a real puke I remember he did some filmed piece at the repuke convention

in 2008. :puke:

[ThatPoetGuy]

16. Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a Republican? NOOOOOOOOO.............

AGH!

[lukasahero]

18. I actually find that hard to believe

could be but just about everyone else associated with the Whedon-verse is extremely (and very vocally) liberal. I would think it'd be hard to be a repub in that big a group of liberals...

[WillParkinson]

19. Actually...

The actress who portrayed Anya is supposed to be a big Republican supporter. She once commented something about understanding why we'd invade Iraq because we need the oil or some such thing.

[readmoreoften]

26. This has me depressed, really.

I'm in the middle of watching the series for the first time now.

[butterfly77]

20. K&R..

[Rex]

21. Alice Cooper?

Erf!?

[dana_b]

22. ugh. Joan Rivers says W is a "cutie pie"

:puke:

[Raine]

23. I could of swore I heard somewhere that she said she voted for Obama

oh well, who knows. :shrug:

[Contrary1]

27. Angie Harmon:

"One of the greatest things about the Republican Party is the understanding, we don't point fingers and we have class."

:rofl:

[JoeyT]

29. A bunch of shallow people most of whom aren't particularly bright or talented.

It doesn't come as much of a shock.
