Making Hollywood's opinions to be more "creditworthy" than anyone else's is a peculiar way of assigning such. Pretending to be someone else and getting paid for it is not a basis to assign "credit" or added weight to an actor's opinion on anything. Good acting doesn't necessarily entitle them to such acclaim. Do you have a rational basis for this "credit" you wish to assign or is it "star power."

They get heard more easily that we do as we type away in the back corners of the Internet.
This can only be good. And their message is on target!
Sheesh. Free Republic is a "back corner"? You position is both illogical and inaccurate. The vast majority of voters do not say to themselves "Nicole Kidman thinks/votes thus and so, so I will too." Let's have more faith in democracy and our fellow voters.
Hollywood is historically leftist and votes Democrat overwhelmingly. Julia Roberts' comment about the word "republican" appearing between "reptile" and "repugnant" in the dictionary is the level of political sophistication of most Hollywood types. Do you really want to applaud them and accord their opinions more highly?
