Joan Allen?! Darn! :laugh:

dissention 02-11-2005 11:02 PM

Joan Allen isn't a Republican. She's as liberal as they come. Didn't have kind words for Republicans when she was promoting The Contender. Gellar isn't a Repug, either, her husband is. She's a big supporter and contributer to Planned Parenthood. Neither is Dennis Quaid.

He's a huge one. Considering that he claims to really be Frank Booth, though, I don't think the Republican party has much use for him.

Yes thats one that confused me too! lol...most of these I had already knew as republicans like...Sara Evans (most country singers), Sarah Michelle Gellar, Shannen Doherty (I have read a quote before where she said she was a strong supporter of Bush), Emma Caulfield (who said she would quit acting and join Elizabeth Dole's campaign if she ever ran for president). But again, some of the people on the list were a shock!

Well, I generally can't stand any of those people anyway. I wish I could smack Nick and Jessica, Catherine Hicks, Chuck Norris, Heaton, Judd, and a few of the others.

As for these people...

I have at least some level of fondness for all of them (especially Reba, Denzel, and Sara). I'm not surprised about the country singers ('tis par for the course, most unfortunately for me, seeing Reba as one of my idols), but I am surprised about some of the others, Denzel Washington especially.

Hmm, I was pretty sure Sarah Michelle was a republican, but I know Freddie is! I thought that Dennis Quiad wasn't one either, thats why I was confused to see him on the list. But most on the list are acurate, I have read stuff about them before.

Sara Evans is a very strong republican, one of the reasons I love her (besides her awsome music!). She played GOP convention and has been one of the few republican celebrities to SPEAK OUT and be a proud conservative.

Patricia Heaton, whom I love, is very religious and a stron pro-lifer!

Interestingly, the source of the this information is not listed in that we are not provided with how this information was discerned. For example, Bo Derek and Ted Nugent have openly exclaimed in the past that they support the R part; I recognize some of those names from situations like that. But, we are not told how the information about the others was obtained or if they have previously voted R and did not do so in this last election. I certainly know more than one R who either did not vote or voted and not for W because of his INSANE economic policies like spending money by going trillions in debt.

No! Not Adam Sandler, Ben Stein, Alice Cooper and John Popper! :distress:

Yes, and Craig is quite the (conservative) political figure. But I love the lady's style and music.

That is why I can't stand Heaton. But no surprise there. I understand her viewpoint to a degree but she's too radical for me.

Check your sources, darling, because they're full of excrement.

Dare I ask...what issues has Sara spoken out about? I know she has openly admitted to being a conservative Republican, but what has she said about her thoughts and feelings on political issues? I've never read anything.

No Republican would give speeches on the behalf of Planned Parenthood.

Her husband, on the other hand, is a fool. Saw him on Leno and almost **** because he's so ill-informed.

Oh, I have never read any specific issues, I just have heard her express being a strong conservative and strong supporter of Bush. Nothing specific as far as I know.

GretaRhiannon 02-11-2005 11:16 PM

Whoohoo heck yeah Sara, I have hecka pics of her at the Republican GOP heh, but yeah the majority I have no idea who they are, and a lot of the others suck. Plus a lot of Democrat celebrities suck too :shrug: Why isn't Kurt Russell on there? He's a huge Bush supporter

He used to write speeches for Nixon, but he's a fairweather political friend. He'll go where there's money and that's all he's interested in, not gay marriage or Iraq.

Check out her website for some real laughs. That shrine she has up of her late husband is scary. She thinks she can't get jobs because she's a Repug, but the real reason is because her tits are too saggy.

No, I think it might have something to do with being a republican. Like Emma Caulfield said that she would never openly say that she is a republican in hollywood, because she likes to work! LOL

You're insane. Her entire "career" consists of porn films that she shot with her husband and one failed television series. If you'd actually seen one of her films, you wouldn't say such a ridiculous thing.

And last time I checked, Emma Caulfield DID openly say she was a Republican. :shrug: Kind of shoots down any point she was attempting to make...
