Pretty interesting compilation. Maybe CBS thinks they are "outing" these celebs. Provides me a good list of people to support. Lots of tough guy actors, NASCAR drivers and country singers. Surprised to see Brittney Spears on the list.

Omigosh. A lot of Country performers and NASCAR drivers are right wingers. Whodathunk?
I never believe these lists - they change like the wind.
I don’t know. Some of those links are tenous at best. 50 Cent comparing himself to George Bush and he’s a conservative republican now? Please! Brittney Spears statement about listening to the President because he knows best, that just sounds like a blond bimbo who doesn’t know much. I need a little more evidence than that to believe she’s a conservative republican. And being on the NRA board of directors, while a good thing does not necessarily label you a conservative or republican. John Dingell was on the NRA board once and no one confuses him with being conservative or republican.
My favorite:
Robert Downey, Jr.
But what is the point of this CBS list? My, they must be scrubbing the floor for news lately. This is hardly "news," more like a training assignment for some lowly staffer who had nothing better to report about lately. Shameful that they would stoop to researching about someone's political affiliation and consider it important. You know it was done to hurt these people in some way.
Journalists today are just paid slime balls/gossip mongers. Give them a backyard and a fence and let them hang out there and gossip and they would be right at home, like an Irish washerwoman or Molly Goldberg (If you remember her, LOL).
They don't report NEWS. There is no story here by reporting this stuff. It is just meant to be mean and vindictive. All honor is gone from journalism today and writers are immature poop collectors. All they want to do is find a way to embarrass or do harm to someone, or to expose them for something, in some manner. Sickening.
no way Arnold is among them.
no way Arnold is among them.
1) Just because Susan Lucci helped organize fundraisers for RINO Giuliani doesn't mean she leans right, it means she supported RINO Giuliani
2)Ahnold RINOneggar leans right???? I almost stopped reading then and there.
3) Gloria Estefan? Are you kidding? She just hosted the Obammunist at her home for some kind of fundraiser! If she leans to the right, then I'm Attila the Freakin' Hun! I stopped reading there.
As usual, more crap from the drive-by media.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
Joey Ramone was a registered Republican. Who would have thought?
“Surprised to see Brittney Spears on the list”
Not something to be proud of. She’s so crazy these days she probably doesn’t even know how to make a bowl of cereal.
Maybe she has. She passed away last April.
First ... Dixie Carter died. Second, she did several interviews with Bill O’Reilly — she was a conservative. The writers of Designing Women, however, were not.
SnakeDoc
Unfortunately, being registered as an R. doesn’t mean they vote that way. Estefan just hosted a big gala for Obama, for example. And some of the listed celebs are no longer living.
They forgot my boyfriend, Gary Sinise!
Robert Duvall does not lean to the right. Nor is he a republican. However he is Zell Miller type democrat.
Drew Carey is a self-described libertarian. I suspect that he registered as a republican for the same reasons that Ron Paul is a republican.
The list is at least a year old. Both Dixie Carter and Ron Silver have passed away yet they are mentioned in the present tense.
She played Julia Sugarbaker in Designing Women and was a registered Republican. She had a clause in her contract that everytime her character Julia went on a liberal rant, she got to sing or dance in a future episode.
That is correct! The writers/producers were those famous FOBs - friends of the Clintons from Arkansas.
I was surprised to learn of some John Force(racing) remarks. He was disparaging Hannity and Beck in such a manner that one would think he is an Obama Democrat.
LOL
I was suprised too when I saw it on TV last weekend. He was not kind to Fox either.
I think you mean Johnny. Joey was a pretty big liberal.
Gloria Estefan??? didn’t she just hold a big shing-ding for dumbama???
I didn’t see the Dixie Twits on the list!!
/sarc
Because Dixie Carter played a role, that makes her a liberal? How silly!
I have seen her interviewed and she is a conservative.
Oops.... WAS a conservative; RIP, Dixie.
Charleton Heston and Dennis Hopper are also listed.
Actually Joey was a very hard core conservative from what I’ve read and what his friends and family have said. I’ve heard that for a long time now.
He attended the 2008 GOP Convention in Minneapolis.
But he is discreet about it, as he should be, especially if he wants to keep working.
Pretty much.
Plus, I personally prefer when actors just stick to their craft and don’t go spouting off about politics.
John Voight is the exception, of course, because he makes so damn much sense.
Sid Sodnagel Sez: They're a threat to the Country & Western Civilization.
I didn’t mean to be silly, I truly thought she was a liberal. Others here have corrected me without calling me silly. I did not even know she had passed away, that’s how much attention I pay to the “stars.”
I didn’t say you were silly. Just what you said was silly. Actors play all sorts of roles; it’s called acting.
Anyway, silly isn’t a bad thing. You should see my sister and me when we get together. :)
Hey...I do know what acting is. Thanks for your tact in correcting me, again. You told me something I did not know. /sarc.
