Not All Celebrities Are Liberal Democrats

So Many Celebrities Voicing Their Liberal Opinions

Diane Zoller-Ciatto
When we watched the Democratic campaigns over a year ago and saw so many celebrities and people in the news come out to support Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, it seemed like all of Hollywood and other celebrities had gone liberal. But there were plenty of conservatives and Republicans that were also working for John McCain and Sarah Palin but did not have the financial backing (Oprah money) to be as far in the limelight, and thus were not front and center.

Looking on several websites, I found many celebs and sports figures who are conservaties and/or Republicans so here are a few:

    I really like the acting of Dwight Schultz who was not only the original HM Murdock on "The A Team" but also was on Star Trek: TNG and Voyager. Shortly after 9/11, he left acting on TV and film and now does voice overs. I read somewhere that he had a difficult time finding roles partly because his political views were in agreement with Reagan conservatism. He had his own conservative talk radio show "Howling Mad Radio" and fills in for a couple of conservative talk radio hosts on occasion. If his name was not included on this list, I would have been surprised.

    If Joe Pesci is a Republican, why did he give that bullshit interpretation of the Constitution in "With Honors". I remember as a kid I thought that was cool, (I'm certain that's where Matt Damon first learned about the Constitution too, and all he still knows about it for that matter) but thinking about it now just pisses me off. There are many on the list that I simply don't believe are conservative by any means. If this list is correct, it is mearly an attempt to thwart regular conservative people who are becoming tired of liberalism in America, and find thier personal interests repelling enough to stop renting thier DVD's.

    Whoa, Buffy's a conservative? Shocker...

  • J P Whickson12/12/2009

    Dick Butkus wasn't a surprise but Gene Simmons certainly was...so was Britany Spears.

  • Charlotte Kuchinsky12/9/2009

    Wow, I didn't know there were so many non-democrats.

  • Patricia Sicilia12/2/2009

    I was totally aware that Tom Selleck was republican, but I love him anyway.

  • Dina Quirion12/2/2009
