The conservative crowd in Hollywood is growing fast.

Novak: "Fred Thompson drop-out rumors traced to Romney campaign"

Said Novak: "The rumors were traced in part to Mitt Romney's campaign,
trying to stir up strife between McCain and Thompson
."

That’s easy. Just become a Republocrat. “Everybody’s doing it.” All you have to do it quit believing in and fighting for freedom and small government. Lots of people have already quit.

Although Fred is an exception due to his political career, I think most Hollywood actors are best off keeping their political leanings to themselves - whatever side they are on. Why alienate a large percentage of the your audience? Or as Michael Jordan said, “Hey, Republicans buy shoes too”

I like Fred, both as a politician and as an actor. That said, I think he’s taken a reverse mortgage on his reputation by prominently advertising reverse mortgages on TV.

“Persecuted” trailer looks good enough to pay to watch. Seems that it might be speaking of the near future, the one religion world. I am going to see it and “America”. Vote with your pocketbook.

First time my wife realized that he was involved in politics was the time he gave the response to the State of the Union (I'm guessing it was Clinton). Her jaw dropped. "Why is an actor giving this response?"

We knew him (at the time) from Roseanne, Wiseguy and Die Hard 2.

Just stick with selling reverse mortgages, Fred. You really disappointed me ... what a loser.

The Hollywood crowd accepts Thompson because without Thompson’s insistence and protection, Clinton would have been impeached and removed from office. Thompson has a few skeletons in his closet.

What a disappointment you were Fred.
Please just STFU.

If conservatives do work that makes money, nobody cares what their politics are.

Arnold Schwarzenegger was one of the biggest money-makers in the history of modern box office — and one of the most conservative. Yes, the gatekeepers are liberal, but they cast him anyway — because his films made money.

Conservatives who make box office consistently work. Those that don’t, don’t.

How does Fred explain his success? Balding unattractive middle-aged schlub with no experience succeeds wildly in a second career as an actor after a stint as a conservative United States Senator? I get it: they don’t like your politics, Fred. But they cast you. Over and over. They followed the money. That’s exactly how business works. So how did Hollywood “persecute” you?

Demonstrably, they didn’t.

Don’t blame Fred...By the time the primaries rolled into the states that “could” have made a big difference, it was all over...

And we know how well that worked out for the democrats and the republican party “establishment/elitists”...

I remember a bumper sticker I had after the Texas Primary that year...

“Don’t blame me, I voted for Fred!”
