This celeb website lists the top 30 names of famous celebs who proudly proclaim to be Republican.

Some are obvious. Others have publicly stated their allegiance. Others are surprising (to me, anyway).

Does this change your opinion of them? Do you know others not on this list?

Discuss.......
 
I don't think that list, outside of Clint, Bruce and Tom, does the GOP any favors.
 
The only one that really surprised me was Matthew McConaughey.
 
I see Ted Nugent is on the list. Has anyone heard from him regarding this election and possible responses?
 
True Fact: 50 Cent got his name from how much of every dollar he earns goes to the government.
 
Not for nothing but I think they meant Adam Baldwin (who is not related to Alec or Stephen) and Drew Carey is a Libertarian not a Republican. Think the list is very flawed.

If they went a few more celebrities deep would Charlie Pierce have made the list?

The 2 most pleasant surprises for me were Bruce Willis & especially Sarah Michelle Gellar. I guess saving the world makes you more realistic about what it takes to save the world.

And Alex Trebek is Canadian - why would he be registered to vote for either party in the US?
Perhaps he's taken American citizenship? Michael J. Fox did after having kids since his children were being raised in the US and he wanted a say in the community they were being raised in.

Gellar is a surprise. Somehow, I was under the impression Willis was.

If Shannon Doherty is in the "top 30" it's not much of a list.

You take that back! She is fulfilling her lifelong dream of getting her degree in liberal arts from an online college and then advertising it on daytime commercials!

Should I change my opinion of any of them, especially since I didn't have much of an opinion regarding 90 percent of the people on the list.

Definitely Stephen.

Yeah that seemed like a really odd question. It implies that there is something wrong with being a Republican.

Mel Gibson is a nutcase in either party.
 
I know I like to make my decisions regarding people based on their politics. Keeps me from having to put too much thought into it.
 
ijag is right. Stephen Baldwin is a Republican of the Bible-thumping category. He's like a downmarket Kirk Cameron, as depressing a thought as that is.
 
In Hollywood, saying you're independent or libertarian is typically their way of saying, "I'm not a liberal, but I don't feel like taking **** for being a republican."

Might not always be the case, but it definitely seems to sometimes be the case.
 
Stephen Baldwin was in The Usual Suspects. He gets a pass on his nutjobiness. Unless he switches to Democrat. Then **** him.

Of course it should. If they disagree with you politically, by all means you should hate them for it.
