Don't Re-Elect Obama or face 1000 Years of Darkness! by SHINYGOODGUY

Gettin' old, but still a hippie at heart...

You didn't already know Norris was a hard-core right winger? I'm surprised, I thought everyone knew that as much as they knew Charlton (SP?) Heston was.

So you don't get any further shocks, there are 146 Republican celebrities listed at http://www.ranker.com/list/actors-republican-actor-and-conservative-ac
tors-list/famous-conservatives -- tho' they count Ronald Reagan as one, soooo...

You DID know Adam Baldwin, our beloved Jayne, is a hard-core righty, didn't you? Hope I didn't ruin your day.

There's a list of Democratic celebrities at http://www.listafterlist.com/tabid/57/listid/11772/Politics/Celebrity+
Democrats.aspx --I didn't count, and no cout is listed, but it's a pretty long list.

Interestingly, looking at both lists, I wasn't surprised by many of the names (tho' Curt Russel being a Repub gave me pause and Jimmy Stewart made me sad, as did Gary Senise, and I got a shock discovering Kevin COSTNER is a Dem?? Never would have imagined that, somehow--and Michael Jackson!), and I like and respect those on the Dem list more than I do those on the Repub list.

What I also found interesting is that, reading down the two lists, I realized I wasn't surprised by most of the names on the Dem list, as those people have stood up publicly for their beliefs, while I was more surprised by the fact that the Repub list didn't have many I'm familiarl with as having espoused their political beliefs or stood up for a cause.

Lastly, amusingly Frank Sinatra is on BOTH lists...??

There's hardcore right-winger.... and then there's completely off-the-rocker batshit Capital "C" Craaaaazy.

I don't think Adams quite to Norris levels of the latter, just yet. Thankfully.

Note to anyone - Please pity the poor, poor wittle Rappyboy. He's feeling put upon lately, what with all those facts disagreeing with what he believes.

Aw, gee.

We can't scare you with Osama Bin Laden (somebody unnamed offed him, but we won't mention who), and we can't scare with "the Roosians" (they turned out to be barely capable of getting out of their own way), or the Chinese (the Yellow Peril is our buddy now).

All we got left to scare you with is " 1000 years of darkness.

Boy, are we desperate.

You forgot "cats and dogs sleeping together, mass hysteria" (always loved that line from Ghostbusters).

According to the Repubs, that could happen.

I never gave it much thought, although I kinda had a feeling that Eastwood was a republican from all the Dirty Harry movies. But I had no idea Norris had gone bye-bye, and his wife, OMG, talk about batshit craaaazzy!

I am quickly learning.

BTW was Paul Newman on the Dem list? I'll check the list, I get a feeling that he is.

Truth be told, I blame L. Ron Hubbard.

BTW Obama won the election over Lone Wolf McCain by just under 10 millions votes and 192 electoral votes, NOT 20 million votes as Norris' wife wrongly claims. Makes you think if there are actually 30 million evangelical voters out there. If that were the case, McCain would be receiving all the love Obama is now getting for turning this country around.

Personally, I think McCain took one for the team. It was just too easy. First, Old Man McCain was chosen to oppose Obama; then he picks the sorriest running mate in the history of running mates, Sarah Palin. Right after Bush & Co. ran the luxury liner U.S.S. America aground while admiring his handy work - the near economic collapse of our nation, the richest in the world. Jsut too easy (I betcha Cheney thought it all up one night after shooting that guy in the face).

They say that deaths come in 3s.

Michael Clarke Duncan, then
Chuck Norris, and
Clint Eastwood

It is a sad day indeed..............

You do know that both these guys have been Republicans for decades right? Clint's been one since the 50's.

"We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false." -- William Casey, Reagan's presidential campaign manager & CIA Director (from first staff meeting in 1981)

In what universe is Chuck Norris a "film icon"?

Also, his "thousand years of darkness" bullshit is just more crap he dug out of Reagan's grave.

"I supported Bush in 2000 and 2004 and intellegence [sic] had very little to do with that decision." - Hero

Mitt Romney, introducing his running mate: "Join me in welcoming the next President of the United States, Paul Ryan!"

Rappy's response? "You're lying, gullible ( believing in some BS you heard on msnbc ) or hard of hearing."

What, the blatant bit of rightwing agitprop that was "Invasion USA" didn't give that away ?
Mind you that was filmed before the general public knew about Operation Northwoods and our Goverments repeated and ongoing planning to fake such attacks as excuses, but it offended the hell out of me cause *I* knew, even if no one would have believed me at the time.

Grated worse that my mother had the hots for him, though.

Well, at least there's this - those old Canon/Golan-Globus cheesefests are entertaining, or were, till outright lunatics started taking that crap seriously and pretending real life is anything like that.
(You HEAR me, John Ringo?!)
Bastards prolly believe uzis have unlimited magazines, plate glass is harmless to jump through and bullet wounds can be shrugged off too - and I'd be more than pleased to someday disabuse them of such notions.

The hard way.

Ouch. I didn't know that. Saddens me.

Okay, on the Republican side:

Tom Selleck
Stephen Baldwin
Ernest Borgnine
Jon Voight
Jeff Foxworthy
Craig T. Nelson
Bing Crosby
Clark Gable
Kurt Russel (now THAT's a big shock to me!)
Larry the Cable Guy
James Cagney

I LIKE many of these people, I respect the acting talent of some. But few surprised me, as they are not celebrities who, having heard them over the years, I ever considered particularly bright...not stupid, mind you, just not particularly deep thinkers. There were a couple of surprises, but only a couple. And I've not noticed most of them standing up for what they believe in.

Obviously, but it makes no difference. What I found interesting, however, was that the list of Republican celebrities includes MANY who are dead, while the list of Democrats has few, if any. I wondered at the time if they were trying to pad the list of Republicans, but I don't know. There are numerous other dead people on the Republican list, I just gave a sampling of each.

Good point, about them padding it. I would also imagine it ties to the older-skweing nature of the GOP. The list of living celebs becomes outdated more often.
