Actor Scott Baio on Monday said Republicans are only hurting themselves by not rallying around presidential front-runner Donald Trump. “It’s a huge mistake,” he said of establishment Republican opposition to Trump on Fox Business Network’s “Cavuto Coast to Coast." "For some reason, they insist and continue to and will not stop shooting themselves in the head. Not the foot, the head. “I just wish the Republican Party — which I don’t really consider myself a part of anymore, because I don’t trust them on anything — I just wish they would attack Democrats the way they attack their own.” Baio...

Wrestling star and actor Dwyane Johnson entertained a possible political career Friday, tweeting out interest in making a bid for president. "Cool piece on why I should run for President. Maybe one day. Surely the White House has a spot for my pick up truck," Johnson tweeted, linking to a story that laid out why he should occupy the White House. . . . Johnson is a Republican and has also engaged in some political comedy, reprising his "Saturday Night Live" character "The Rock Obama" last year.

He credits Sandler for nudging him to the political right, and he is not shy about voicing his disdain for California’s current path. Schneider told WND he is frustrated that red tape in the policies of Gov. Jerry Brown forced him to move his vitamin business out of California. It became too expensive and time consuming for him to comply with state regulations. Although the best production staff, hair and makeup people are in California, he has not done a film in the Golden State in seven years. Brown and the supermajority of Democrats in the legislature, Schneider said, have...

Chalk one up for Mitt Romney – he’s got former “Happy Days” star Scott Baio’s vote. The actor, now starring in Nick at Nite’s new comedy, “See Dad Run,” stopped by Access Hollywood Live on Friday where he explained why he supports the Republican Presidential nominee. “I believe in Governor Romney for a lot of different reasons. I’ve met him many times and he’s a straight up guy, he’s a good guy, great family man [and] his kids are fantastic,” Scott told Kit Hoover and Billy Bush. “I think we need to be fixed in this country.” Scott said being...

Hollywood is known for being overwhelming left-of-center. From celebrity-led fundraisers supporting President Barack Obama's re-election campaign to incendiary rhetoric aimed against Republicans, the majority of Hollywood doesn't hide its liberal inclinations.That being said, Tinseltown isn't completely devoid of GOP enthusiasts. While they comprise a very silent minority, right-of-center celebrities exist --- and some may even surprise you. While the following list is by no means a complete picture, it is a compilation of 10 of the most interesting and surprising actors and performers who reportedly consider themselves Republicans. 1. TONY DANZA Actor Tony Danza is known for his popular role...

While President Obama is usually the candidate rubbing elbows with Hollywood's celebrities — just this week it was announced the president's campaign would host fundraisers with the cast of "The Wire" and Vogue editor Anna Wintour — Mitt Romney is looking to cash in with some star power of his own. Actor Robert Duvall, star of "Apocalypse Now" and "The Godfather," will host a fundraiser for the Republican presidential hopeful in September at his Virginia home. According to the invitation — obtained Wednesday by the National Journal — tickets to the event are $2,500 per person, while a $10,000 donation...

Just when you thought that Hollywood is completely liberal, one of the few known conservatives in Tinseltown recently stepped forward to remind us otherwise. In this case, it's actor/director Clint Eastwood, who recently did an interview with the L.A Times where he talked about his political beliefs. Some highlights: Having started voting for GOP presidential contenders in 1952 with Dwight Eisenhower, Eastwood said he was tempted to break ranks only once — in 1992, for Ross Perot. “I liked him,” Eastwood said. “I guess because I like rebels.”... “...I’m a big hawk on cutting the deficit. I was against the stimulus thing...

Heads up Alec Baldwin, there’s another actor with his eye on a political career. The New York Post reported Sunday that Kelsey Grammer intends to run for office in the future, perhaps in New York where he now resides. A rare conservative in Hollywood, Grammer told the paper that being an actor and a politician both require a "narcissistic personality” and “a resilient ego.” Money doesn’t hurt either. The Post pointed out that the actor, who will play a fictional Chicago mayor on a drama called “Boss” this fall, is worth almost $100 million. What might hurt? Four marriages and...

Television has been dismissed as a cultural wasteland, and for conservatives, it's a barren wasteland indeed, especially over the last quarter-century. Joe Friday doesn't save the world from hippies every week: Today, the hippies are the heroes and conservatives (especially conservative Christians) are the villains. But there is still hope. There are still good conservative television shows out there, you just have to look for them.

Hollywood stars and celebrities are generally considered to be a liberal and Democratic-leaning community, but these celebrities are all declared Republicans according to the FEC, or known conservatives. (Slideshow at link.)

I Tweeted a little Cliff Claven, but here's some more from John Ratzenberger's remarks at Brown rally earlier: "This isn't the Democratic party of our fathers and grandfathers. This is the party of Woodstock hippies. I was at Woodstock — I built the stage. And when everything fell apart, and people were fighting for peanut-butter sandwiches, it was the National Guard who came in and saved the same people who were protesting them. So when Hillary Clinton a few years ago wanted to build a Woodstock memorial, I said it should be a statue of a National Guardsman feeding a...

I was actually planning on doing a DUFU about either the DUmmies or KOmmies biting their fingernails over the survival of public option in ObamaCare. Right now they are acting as if their very existence depends on public option remaining. However, I find the constant micro-analysis of each little nuance and twitch of the various Senators and Congress folks to be highly annoying. Like their self-absorbed neurosis was making me neurotic reading about it. Therefore I decided to go with the FUn THREAD, "Actors you were bummed to find out were Republican..." At least one of the actors mentioned...

Jon Voight, our current favorite non-politician rabble-rouser, isn’t letting up on his warnings of the potential consequences of Barack Obama’s plans and policies. Voight, who minces no words when discussing this President – recently referring to Obama as a ”false prophet” and urging Republicans to “free the nation” from the “Obama oppression” – has lit into the Chief Executive again, accusing Obama of attempting a “slow, steady takeover of our true freedoms,” and asking if the President is “creating a civil war in our own country?” In comments to the Washintgon Times, Voight again used the S word: “We are...

Actor John Voight, father of actress Angelina Jolie, emceed the dinner and offered a warmly received stinging rebuke of Obama in his opening remarks, rehashing many of the attacks used against the president in the campaign such as his ties to 60’s radical Bill Ayers. “Obama as a candidate portrayed himself as a moderate but turned out to be wildly radical, Everything Obama has recommended has turned out to be disastrous.” Voight singled out House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Connecticut Sen. Chris Dodd, billionaire George Soros, and senior White House aide David Axelrod “and their ilk...
