Lol.
I know you are joking, but just so you know, the Republican State Party Chair, our 2000 Candidate for Governor, and a whole lot of other prominent R's endorsed (and I assume voted for) the D in that race as well (it was for Washington State Auditor). Not only was the R convicted of assult, but he was a conspiracy nut who pretty much just ran so he could print some crazy crap about some conspiracy in the voters guide.
And, finally, The D was BY FAR the best statewide elected D in the state. He had supported several good Republican bills that were in the relm of Government accountability (which is the prime job of the State Auditor, to monitor things like that).
ROFL. Hey, first D I've voted for in 20ish years. That guy was something else.
BTW...I agree with you regarding actors politics. I don't even care if I know—that is until they start talking so much I can't get away from it. Sarandon, Streisand, Reiner, Baldwin, Clooney...they just make everything about politics to the point I just can't deal with it anymore and quit going to see their movies.
It doesn't mean they are not talented, just that I am irritated to the point I start feeling insulted by their mere presence. For instance, Hanks may be a leftist, but he is polite and doesn't advertise it and show up at every other rally and make his Oscar speeches all about how he is proud that he doesn't connect with middle America. Somehow I think he would find that idea elitist and appalling.
And for me, that is the difference.
