If you've already spent your Republican dollars on anything written by these 'former' goodfellows, forgive yourself and move on. Just make a promise that you'll never let it happen again. Please, let's all stay vigilant and alert to these celebrities that get such a kick out of funneling our money to the Dem cause.

What? The guy who wrote Runaway Jury isn't a Republican?

Oh well, I guess the GOP is unable to boast the worst writer in American history as a member.

If you enjoy their works, might I recommend buying them at yard sales and from internet auction sites. This way you don't funnel any new dollars into their accounts.

Or if you want to get rid of what you own, sell them the same way. Again if someone wants the item they will buy it from you, and no additional $$ goes to the author.

The guy who wrote Runaway Jury isn't a Republican?

Exactly my thought. Some trial lawyer suck-up like Grisham isn't a Republican? I'm shocked, shocked . . .

[A. Pole]

they never saw the horror of combat

They had other priorities.

[Boris99]

I'm having a hard time believing that King was ever a Republican.

[Celtjew Libertarian]

I'm having a hard time believing that King was ever a Republican.

Income tax make Republicans of many.

Stephen King & John Grisham are not Republicans????


WERE DOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMED!!!!!!!

BFD rolleyes

[alnick]

This Republican is proud to be an EX reader of Grisham and King.

[wideawake]

He was a Chafee/Snowe/Weld New England Republican.

[armymarinemom]

King a former Republican? Not likely.

[SMARTY]

Mel had no where else to turn.

[Malacoda]

I was going to say. He's always made a big deal about being an old-time Maine Dem in any interview I've ever seen/read.

[JohnLongIsland]

that's because as the years have gone by and their success has increased, they have reached the liberal elites tax bracket level. (those summer parties in the hamptons and nantucket will brain wash you, as good as anything.)

[Jen from Tn.]

ditto

[Melchior]

As someone who has spent time in the military I am perfectly aware that the services are full of screwups and goofballs. Officer nitwits. NCO animals. Sainthood is not guaranteed the General or the PFC. And because one hasn't served does not preclude that person's freedom to criticize the military. For those who recall, Webb was a screw up inside and outside the military. And, he was rarely a team player. His shortcoming probably result from having his brains rattled in a classic boxing match with Ollie North.

[Red Badger]

Never read Grisham, and King's stuff I get at the Goodwill for 75 cents.......

[Shimmer128]

I haven't read the posts, haven't even read the entire article. I got as far as the put down of the phony Texan, President Bush. They've got a lot of nerve and a weak base of thought in mentioning that, when those guys are sitting there on stage with phony combat boots!!

[Shimmer128]

Being a cowboy is a state of mind. Lots of the original cowboys, on the range, out in the West, were from cities in the East

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I love Hawaii and to live aloha is found in the heart, not always in the birthplace or in the genes.
Grrrrr some more!

[Doc Savage]

If there are two more incompetent "authors" in the US than these two I'd like to see them. Lame lawyer tripe and absoutely stupid supposed-to-scare you junk. Not to mention King is probably the UGLIEST guy I've ever seen!
