Celebs Who (Supposedly) Lean to the Right

I don't know about all this. This photo montage supposedly lists a bunch of celebrities who are conservative.

Some of them, we already knew: Chuck Norris, Tom Selleck, Charlton Heston.

But, LLCoolJ?? Heather Locklear? Angie Harmon? Susan Lucci? Adam Sandler?

Really???

I guess I bought into the idea that ALL big time Hollywood celebs are liberal. Maybe, maybe not.

    I despise Matt Damon.

    His entire career earnings have been from bigtime movies involving firearms.

    Saving Private Ryan
    The Bourne Series
    The Departed

    etc.

    Yet he supports the gun grabbers.

    I believe Mark Wahlberg is slightly to the right.
    Half of the lives they tell about me aren't true.

    Kelsey Grammer is very right-wing.

    Bruce Willis is right wing, although he does not identify himself as a Republican anymore.

    Drew Carey could be considered right wing, but he's actually more libertarian than anything else.

    John Ratzenberger, who was Cliff on "Cheers", is also staunchly Republican.

    Mel Gibson is as right wing as he is crazy.

    All in all, there are more conservatives in Hollywood than one might imagine.

    A couple of years ago David Spade donated $100,000 to the Phoenix Police Dept. for the purpose of buying AR15's.

    I addition he's been known to make sizeable cash donations to the families of fallen cops.

    About half of the celebs pictured are NOT conservatives. Ever hear the term RINO? Just because someone attended a Republican campaign or convention does not make them a Republican. Some of the known registered Republicans like Arnold Schwarzenegger are very liberal. Whenever CBS makes a list like this, I have to doubt half to most of what is on there.

    Well, I suppose the same could be said about anyone, really. Why should we care about what doctors, lawyers, welders, postmen, retirees, policemen, firemen, etc. think?

    I met Ricky Schroeder at a hunting/shooting event a few years ago. Really nice guy and staunch conservative.

    Living in CA I'd take Arnold off the list straight away if there's supposed to be any suggestion he's not anti-gun. He screwed us over pretty well, he'll not get another vote from me ever.

    Adam Sandler, actually is politically Conservative.

    Even though he's Jewish, he was raised in New Hampshire and his Dad is a doctor, which might have helped. [;)]

    Robert "Iron man" Downey Jr is supposedly a closeted conservative. In other words, he is one of a number of Hollywood celebrities who is conservative in belief, but won't say so publically because it will hurt his career.

    Everyone knows that Angelina Jolie's dad Jon Voight (who is on the list) is politically conservative. Interestingly, Jolie herself is actually probably not as liberal as many think she is, and from what I hear she has some Conservative tendencies.

    Britney Spears (who hails from rural Louisiana) caught a *LOT* of flack for supporting George Bush. That doesn't make her conservative, but it is sort of interesting.

    Well, you don't have to care what they think, but the reason its important, is because (bizarrely) Hollywood is part of a huge media machine, the actors get lots of press time, people actually DO listen to them, and Hollywood movies are a major export of American culture.
