This is an old story. For what it is worth, I'm pretty sure I remember him being an Obama supporter.
I have always been impressed that he has stayed clean and really seems to care about his family, for what it is worth.

If I am not mistaken he gave money to da-one last fall... Really? I am cynical as to if he truly is a conservative...

And this is why Donwney’s movies do so well. It doesn’t matter who he supports.
He shuts up and sings.

No he’s not. He gave money to Obama and attended a few Obama events.

Well, Hollywood “conservative” is somewhere along the lines of Massachusetts “conservative,” I’d imagine.

Neither of the examples given ‘prove’ his politics, one way or the other. Consider this:
Success in Hollywood is not always about talent, but is often about who you know. Attending parties for Obama and giving money to Obama, may just be the price paid to maintain a certain level of visibility and to further relationships.
Better to be thought as one-of-the-gang then to stand up and be in the unemployment line.

I agree with you, actually. I provided that fact for its own sake, but there’s probably more to it than that. There’s no reason for me to doubt the statements he’s made about his wake-up call.
Your reasoning could be very closed to the truth.
