But in the Harris Poll, Wayne's ahead of Julia Roberts, Clint Eastwood, Mel Gibson, George Clooney, Sean Connery and Sandra Bullock. Democrats take note. The Duke is still king. Amamzing! The Duke has been dead for over twenty years and he's still one of the most popular movie stas!

In essence, strength, character and a belief in America as a beacon of hope and freedom still matter.

The Duke was really something. He's never mentioned in the same breath as an actor with Olivier, Guiness, Gable or Power or even Jimmy Stewart. But he had more presence than any of them and seemed to personify something uniquely American. For my money, there is no comparison to a John Wayne / John Ford Western in all of cinema to date!

But if you should happen to be in room 241 of the Russell Senate Office Building, you'll find Wayne galore: pictures of John McCain in various Arizona settings. He's a twofer - a military hero and a Westerner. Democrats, beware. The real point of the article - but John McWayne? I don't think so. ;)

Until the current 40 and older crowd is gone. All of my kids were forced to watch John Wayne movies with me when they were young and know they are out converting others their age.

John Wayne said in Back to Bataan;
Colonel Madden (Back to Bataan):
"This kind of war, you've gotta believe in what you're fighting for."
Even tho it was only a scripted line in a movie it is something we all should remember.
