Re: Hetfield.
I've heard some conflicting stories about him. He's probably my top guitar hero of all time - utter musical genius. Got the real low down on him?
Damn, now I'll have to buy the Scoobie-Doo movies for my kids!
I understand where you are coming from. I did not want to appear as if I was going off on a tirade of my own. I enjoyed this article, and my only point was that more conservative people are typically less vocal in inappropriate situations, at least from what I've observed. I was attempting to offer my opinion as to why pro-Bush celebs don't speak up more often.
The article proves that they do make their opinions known, although Mandy Moore sounded frightened that she would be blacklisted. No person should feel this way if fear is the reason for her publicist's comments. She is obviously not as powerful as Eastwood, Gibson, Sandler, or spears who are probably untouchable in the industry due to their enormous incomes and fan bases.
My intention was not to take issue with what you said, but simply to offer a different opinion. I was not trying to be abrasive.
I think Drew Carey is a formenr U.S. Marine.
I have to admit I actually like the Scooby Doo Movies. Decent, clean. Just silliness all over, but no sex, cussing, etc.
It's cool

I quoted RockinRight who said James Hetfield is conservative anarchist type --- now pinging him.
I've heard that Don King supports whoever's in the White House, regardless of party.
I don't know how true that is though.
Ditto that, he comes off as so smarmy in everything I've seen him in.
He also draws distinction in that his wife is a solid republican who has helped lead and raise money for republican groups.
Mel didn't trust the makers of the film. In fact alot of actors and other people didn't, and the makers of the film (who are liberals admittingly) have spun it to some extent that the actors and others were more afraid of being "outted" as republicans then the more truthfull reason, which is, they felt it might be a michael moore like hit piece.
This year he was very vocal pro Bush and vocal anti-democrat.
However, its pretty clear, that he won't be staying republican forever.
At best he was lukewarm. He was at the GOP convention though.
I think he was either listed as something (un-named delegate?) or for something.
I know he was quiet the whole time, and he did sign autographs for a few people.
He did initially support the war in iraq, then became furious when no weapons were found, and is still very angry about it, and as far as I have seen, seems to almost take it very personally.
Gibson though almost certainly voted for Bush.
Adam Sandler has a new movie coming out...I think I'll buy a ticket.
I agree he probably did vote for Bush.
I was a little upset when he made the lemon remark on GMA but I do respect him because he has true convictions and he stands up for them. I don't agree with his feelings about the war, but he does have a right to his opinion and he is a good guy.
Besides, after Mel's interview, Curt Schilling was on and told everyone to vote for Bush...Mel's comments were all but forgotten.
As for the convention, what day was he there? I don't remember seeing him there at all.
I also gained a great deal of respect for Ron Silver. One of the most leftist liberals you can imagine, yet he was honest enough ( just like Mayor Koch) to admit Bush had to go to war to defend our great country!
Don't forget to watch his follow up film "Walking Tall," the remake that's now out on DVD. I thought he did a great job. The film was produced by WWE Films, which is planning several films starring wrestlers. The one is filming now starring John Cena as a Marine.
"Sean Michaels - born again as I recall. He had a reputation as a really personally self-destructive individual in years past. He found God and has since returned to the WWE. He's worn -plenty- of tshirts on TV clearly expressing his beliefs."
I was thinking of buying his "Every man falls--the Just man rises" t-shirt. That is a great sentiment. He also has a "All Things are Possible" shirt. From what I understand, he battled back from a pretty severe back injury to return to wrestling.
And Steve and Adam Baldwin are both Christians and Republicans. Yes. The bothers of THAT Alec Baldwin. Steve says they are praying for Alec. Good, he needs it.
Patricia Heaton (Everybody Loves Raymond) is a Christian and big time pro-lifer, she has spoken out against abortion for years.
I have a sneaky suspicion that Kurt Russell is also right-leaning. Notice all the mega hunky action movie stars are : Arnold, Mel, Bruce Willis, Kurt Russell, the Rock ...
