John Grisham, Stephen King at Dem Fundraiser; Proud to be EX-Republicans

[no dems]

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.

I just felt like this bore repeating.

"The Pelican Brief" and "The Client" could have been written by Karl Marx (if he had been a moronic, illiterate hack). Stephen King is a typical New England ivory tower liberal. If either of these two literary giants (sarc) were ever Republicans, Hillary was prom queen.

[Coldwater Creek]

John used to be a great guy before he made the big time and still had his little nondescript brick law office on Stateline Rd. in Southaven, Miss. A Republican and Deacon in his Baptist church.

[Coldwater Creek]

LOL

[Carolinamom]

Bill Clinton proudly showed off his own new cowboy boots. Did he not get the memo?

[jonascord]

If that. One good read of The Stand, where all the Good Guys are Liberal Arts majors and "artists", and all the Bad Guys are scientists, engineers and military, should reveal Steve-a-rino's political beliefs.

[SoFloFreeper]

About 1,000 supporters of Democratic U.S. Senate nominee Jim Webb filled the Paramount Theater last night to hear readings by Webb and best-selling authors John Grisham and Stephen King.

What a coupla yawners. So they're supporting Webb. Whoopee doo.

[wideawake]

If he was a Republican, why did he hold state office as a Democrat in MS?

[Pietro]

"Willie Nelson said of our president..."

Yeah, quote a dope smokin' has been and then wonder why nobody takes the dim party seriously.

[Coldwater Creek]

Grisham was a state rep, but I don't recall him being a Democrat at the time. I could be wrong though!

[Coldwater Creek]

OKAY I was wrong about the Republican part.

[saganite]

I've read both of them and fropm what I read neither of them have ever been Republicans unless they were of the Chaffee stripe. No loss in my opinion.

November 2004
(snip)
Mystery writers are a mixed bag. John Grisham is a pretty reliable Democrat -- he donated $25,000 to the DNC this year, and has supported Bill Bradley in the past. Sara Paretsky is a big donor to Barack Obama's campaign for the Senate from Illinois, and Ayelet Waldman has made contributions to MoveOn.org, EMILY's List, Howard Dean and John Kerry. Richard North Patterson has given to the campaigns of Democrats Tom Daschle, Ron Kirk and Blanche Lincoln, and Stuart Woods has supported Democrat Tom Udall. Elmore Leonard has contributed to Sen. Carl Levin's campaign. Levin, from Michigan, is one of the most powerful Democrats in the Senate

He's a flaming liberal

"Willie Nelson said of our president, 'He ain't no cowboy, and he ain't from Texas"...

There's a Democrat role model for ya'.

[ncpatriot]

Grisham, King and Webb each said he had been a Republican before switching parties.

I have a hard time believing this. Perhaps King was a Republican like Chaffee, but I seriously doubt that the liberal Grisham was a Republican.

Ha....they have to claim to be Republicans to get votes for their candidate. That tells you something.

[Blind Eye Jones]

"Willie Nelson said of our president, 'He ain't no cowboy, and he ain't from Texas.'"

This coming from Willie who writes a song about cowboys wanting to kiss other cowboys! Yeah, I guess Bush isn't a cowboy by those standards. But then Willie probably thinks the cowboy in the Village People is the real thing.

He should forget the crack and pot and get back on his meds.

[Coldwater Creek]

I never said that he isn't a flaming liberal today. I was talking about when he lived and worked and worshiped in my neck of the woods. I lived just across the stateline into Tenn. and john's office backed up to line.

[conservativecorner]

And we are proud the RINO writers left BUMP!

[AbeKrieger]

I suggest if you sell their books at a yard sale, put up a sign that says, Republicans: 50 cents Democrats: 2 dollars.

Wait, I have to charge Democrats less, they are poor, historically underprivileged, and it would be discrimination to charge them more, since 90% of blacks vote Democrat that would also be a hate crime... Upon further review, too many Democrats can't or won't read, so it's a moot point anyway.
