“Rick Simon is a conservative?”
I think his wife, Delta Burke, is conservative as well. Re McRaney, From Wikipedia:
“Politically, McRaney is a conservative Republican[6] and a member of the National Rifle Association.
Having played a Marine Corps veteran on Simon & Simon and a Marine Corps officer on Major Dad, he has always been very supportive of veterans and soldiers, although he is not a veteran himself. He made many visits to support the soldiers in Operation Desert Storm. During one USO-sponsored trip, McRaney visited sailors and Marines on board ships ported in Toulon, France, on Thanksgiving of 1993 and signed autographs for the men on board the ships. While on board the USS Ashland, he autographed one sailor’s cowboy hat. He also visited troops during Operation Restore Hope in Somalia in 1993.”
I had forgotten about Delta Burke completely.
