Mel Gibson was NOT a supporter of Bush

At best he was lukewarm. He was at the GOP convention though.

I think he was either listed as something (un-named delegate?) or for something.

I know he was quiet the whole time, and he did sign autographs for a few people.

He did initially support the war in iraq, then became furious when no weapons were found, and is still very angry about it, and as far as I have seen, seems to almost take it very personally.

Gibson though almost certainly voted for Bush.

I agree he probably did vote for Bush.

I was a little upset when he made the lemon remark on GMA but I do respect him because he has true convictions and he stands up for them. I don't agree with his feelings about the war, but he does have a right to his opinion and he is a good guy.

Besides, after Mel's interview, Curt Schilling was on and told everyone to vote for Bush...Mel's comments were all but forgotten.

As for the convention, what day was he there? I don't remember seeing him there at all.

I also gained a great deal of respect for Ron Silver. One of the most leftist liberals you can imagine, yet he was honest enough ( just like Mayor Koch) to admit Bush had to go to war to defend our great country!

As I said earlier, he's a paleocon/Buchanan conservative. More isolationist than W.
