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 actually surprised me since I would have never guessed him to be a Republican. So let us now watch the DUmmies get bummed out over Republican actors in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, reminding everybody that Lou Costello was a conservative Republican (really), is in the [brackets]:
Actors you were bummed to find out were Republican...
[John Wayne?]
Robert Downey, Jr.
Can't believe he went all Pro Bush...
[I have to admit this actually surprised me as well. Even more of a surprise than finding out that Richard Feynman was also a Republican.]
Tom Selleck. I thought he would be too smart for it.
[I figured Selleck for a conservative...which is why Rosie O'Donnell went nuts on him.]
Jimmy Stewart. From all his movies you got the idea that he was an empathetic humanist. He was a solid repub though.
[No surprise there. I already knew this about Jimmy.]
If he were alive today, I think he wouldn't still be a republcian.
[Somehow I can't picture Jimmy Stewart hanging out with the ACORN crowd.]
William Holden and Barbara Stanwyck... were two more old school republican, Eisenhower types
[William Holden was Best Man at Ronald Reagan's wedding. Barbara Stanwyck? She was the wife of Robert Taylor who testified in Congress about the Reds in Hollywood.]
Bruce Willis, Dennis Hopper
[And Willis had the sense to ditch that airhead Demi Moore.]
wow, would not have expected Dennis Hopper that is sad
[May we send you a consolation card?]
Patricia Heaton. I absolutely despise her since I found out she's a Republican. Especially after I read some of the comments she has made. Blech!!! That's the only one that bothers me. Don't have any negative feelings about the others I know of who are Republican.
[Send her to The Hague for political Thought Crimes.]
I can't watch her anymore. She is a good comedic actress. However, once I know something like that, it just destroys my image of them.
[Is Playboy Playmate Petra Verkaik a Republican? Somehow I don't think her politics would be my main concern if I ever happen to bump into her.]
Robert Duvall. he's a REAL asshole, too. smug, arrogant, uber macho prick. so that makes it easier to loathe him, unlike Downey, who I've always liked a lot can't believe he swings that way must've been all the drugs
[Was Gabby Hayes a Republican? That knowledge would greatly influence how I perceive Roy Rogers movies.]
What??? Robert Downey Jr.?? Is that true? I had not heard that. My wife will be crushed when she hears this -- he is one of her favorite actors.
[Your wife will have to retire her bong pipe.]
Clint Eastwood
[Kind of hard to think of Dirty Harry as a kneejerk liberal.]
Stallone. Who coulda guessed?
[Easy to guess that when you watch the Rocky Balboa movies.]
Gary Sinese
[No surprise there. And I've been a big fan of his since watching him in "True West." A great play.]
John Voight
[No surprise now but years ago I sort of had him pegged for a liberal.]
Jim Caviezel
[Jesus was a Republican. Remember that.]
Mary Tyler Moore told Parade last year how much she loves Bill O'Reilly and said she'd campaign for McCain/Palin if asked
[FUn Fact: Morey Amsterdam from the Dick Van Dycke show was a big supporter of Ronald Reagan.]
Adam Sandler shattered my illusions.
[Another Republican. I loved him as Dave Buzznik in "Anger Management." Was Dr. Buddy Rydell also a Republican?]
Phyllis Diller.
[Bob Hope must have rubbed off on her.]
Here is a list of them: MEATLOAF? And, Cindy Williams of Lavern & Shirley
[I never thought about it before but Meatloaf's political leanings surprises me as well.]
R. Lee Ermey is a Republican?!
[How could you possibly think that Sgt. Hartman would be a liberal Democrat?]
Micky Dolenz of the Monkees. He apparently appeared as a headline act at a teabag event in Texas. Bummer.
[Peter Tork?]
Drew Carey. Majorly bummed about that
[Then I better not tell you about Lou Costello.]

I’m glad to see you survived the hurricanes, Peej....
{ducking}
Bo Derek is also a pubbie. I know she was at President Reagans funeral. I’m pretty sure I read that Jessica Simpson is also conservative. It sure bolsters the the notion that conservative women are hot and lib women, well....Rosie O’Donnel, Helen Thomas, Whoopie...you get the gist.
Now besides a couple of whiskys... we'll be deserving some respect...
I agree. Go with a mac.
Drew Carey is a pretty solid independent I think. I heard him say he doesn’t like either party. I think that was around the 2004 election maybe, I’m thinking he leans pro-Constitution and dislikes politicians.
What hurricanes? No hurricanes here since Wilma in 2005. Right after that is when I got my current computer so I am due for another one now.
I know a guy who used to be a body guard for celebrities. He said the a**hole he ever had to guard was Robert Redford. He said he was smug and arrogant. The nicest guy he ever worked for was Robert Duval. He said he was the most down to earth, nicest guy. Duval took him fishingh and hunting, etc. To me that says it all. The ultr-liberal is a puke, the conservative, nice. This is from a guy who is completely apoltical too. He had no idea what their politics were.
Nope. I have tried Macs and I just can't get used to them. Maybe they are better but I am used to PC.
I didn’t know about Chaka Khan and Alice Cooper. I have learned to not judge a book by its cover. I remember being at a Bush rally in ‘04 and there were two young people tattooed and pierced tot he hilt, complete with mohawks. They were toting signs and wildly cheering President Bush
You’d like the laptop Mac I have here. Solid cast body, good keyboard (not as good as standard. I have a USB unit I plug in when I have serious typing). It’ll withstand the hurricane you’re way past due for, and you can hit parsifal, as with a skillet.
LOL. When did these idiots find out that Wayne was a republican and how many of them were bummed out about it?
Who was that guy in that cute monkey movie? Oh yea I really liked him.....Ronald Reagan ...I hear he was a Rethug
When RD Jr. got off drugs it was only natural; he would become a republican.
I have known some punk conservatives and some goth ones as well.
I can dig that. I run Parallels because I have a number of apps that need XP. It’s kind of ironic: I had to buy a Mac because I needed XP to run vital business apps, and all the Windows machines at the time had Vista. Couldn’t buy an XP machine for love or money.
So I bought a Mac. Only way I could do it. Eh.
