How is this a bad thing? Notice that Rudy has supporters there? What does that tell you?

I’ve worked with several conservative actors, producers and directors. Granted, there are few but there are strong conservatives in the business and more than you’d think. I found that the “nobodies” were the most conservative, perhaps because they hadn’t been brainwashed or jaded yet.

Thompson's political views are at odds with those of many industry Republicans, who tend to be fiscally conservative but socially progressive.Anyone who is "progressive" in any way is no Republican (RINO voter, maybe). Social Progressives are proponents of "social justice", which is an anathema to fiscal conservatism.
I call BS on this label.

Are you saying the actor/candidate is lucky not to have any people from his own industry supporting him?
Would and endorsement from Dennis Miller be a bad thing? Joel Surnow?

Did Hollywood support Reagan?
Fred doesn’t need the support of the whackjobs in hollyweird. Those supporting Rudy now could easily change as Fred forges ahead.
The vote that Fred will get that very few are talking about right now, is moderate democrats....and lots of them. No dem I know likes Hillary, and many are giving Fred serious consideration, despite his conservatism just as they gave Reagan their vote.

"You're asking me if people here will support Fred Thompson?" said Donna Bojarsky, a longtime industry political consultant. "How do I put it? No. No. And no."Math really isn't her strong suit, is it? /grin

It would be a scary thing if Hollyweird did turn out with any significant support of Fred. That would make him suspect as a RINO. Let him do his fundraising with real Americans.

Yes. My hackles go up when I hear, "I'm fiscally conservative, but socially progressive." Hello??? Socially "progressive" causes are fiscally irresponsible!
Hmmmmmph.

The vote that Fred will get that very few are talking about right now, is moderate democrats....and lots of them.It's too soon to tell if he will get them, but you're correct, that's the group he's aiming for. "Moderate Democrats" = "Reagan Democrats". It seems that so many of those here who feel betrayed by the GOP party leadership fail to notice that there are millions of Democrats out there who are shocked and appalled by the DNC and Democrat leadership.
In the words of Obi Wan, I sense a great disturbance in the Force out there in flyover country, and I believe the next election is going to be a bloodbath for incumbents of both parties.
