One of my favorite Dean Martin lines...he said,
"Hey, I shook hands with Pat Boone and my whole right side sobered up..."
Jimmy Stewart, the Duke, Kirk Douglas, Charlton Heston, Sinatra (later) ...solid Republicans in attitude at least Red-Staters as we define them now
Kirk Douglas a Republican? I dont think so, I saw him and his son Michael Douglas on TV a few years back after he had his stroke, and he didnt sound very Republican to me.
