I remember when Ron Silver was a flaming leftist.
He's seen the light and now, he's a stand-up guy.
Caught Mr. Silver on Laura's show this week. He kind of ran circles around her - very smart and aware. He doesn't go for right-wing polemics; precise in his positions.
Damn.
This means I'll have to watch the West Wing.
Oh well. For Silver I'll do even that. :-) Guess I better find out when it airs now....
He was great in a bad movie. Timecop sucked but Silvers dual role was great.
Bump for Silver!
He's conservative on a lot of issues and I really like him, but socially he is still quite liberal from what I understand. I would love to be wrong about that, so if I am please correct me.
And the libs still complain about the Hollywood Blacklist of the 50's?
I hear he takes some consolation from Ann Coulter.
Ron is a true patriot.
As much as I admire Ron Silver for his courage in standing up to the far-left losers in Hollyweird, there is no way I will ever watch "The West Wing" or, as it is known in this household, "The Worst Wing." So Martin Sheen will go off into the sunset and probably be replaced by Alan Alda. That's just swapping one moonbat for another.
Besides, there is more to life than sitting in front of the dinosaur network idiot box.
Silver has used his brain. Let's support him in his endeavors. He was so thrilled when Clinton was elected. That is a lot of change.
Silver came out admantly supporting Bush's re-election. He was and probably still is very liberal on social issues (pro-abort, gay marriage, expanding health care) but in the key moment (2004 election) he made those second priority to supporting a more aggressive war on terrorism and strengthening national defense.

I'd hope that eventually he'd come around on the social and human life issues but for just now glad he supports Bush.
The best show he was ever in was "Heat Vision and Jack"
And what jprinciple of behavior or politics would allow so out spoken a progressive to become a 'republican'? I am glad that I am a conservative.
Ping for later. I'll be glad to buy this.
