“If a Hollywood star denigrates the war on terrorism or promotes gay marriage, he or she is welcomed with open arms by the Oprah Winfreys of the world. But if he or she holds views that are considered conservative or libertarian, doors begin to close,” said Moriarty.

The Liberals call that "tolerance", Michael.

FYI: Michael Moriarty at IMDB.

Although I agree with most of his stated positions, and may even vote for the guy if he were to run, he doesn't stand a snowballs chance in an inferno of winning. Maybe if he were to run for governor of some place first or some other public office. Playing a DA on TV doesn't make for a good CinC and chief executive regardless of ones good intentions and beliefs. If it did, then I would be equally qualified for the job--as would several thousand others here at FR.

That sounded like I've played a DA on TV, which isn't what I meant. What I mean is that good intentions and beliefs are common on this forum, but they alone don't qualify us for the office.

What else do you want to know about Hollyweird. A true conservative thinks he is presidential material because he is an actor.

Yeah - an actor could never be president.

John Kerry did nothing but marry rich women and look what that act got him. The idiot damn near won the presidency.

“Hitler Meets Christ...”



I have a feeling that is not going to endear him to any constituency.

He actually used to be a liberal. I remember his "coming out" party on the Bob Grant show. This was right at the time he was making his rightward turn.

He's got no chance. Kerry's got better hair, and so does virtually every other hopeful.

Glad to see "Q, The Winged Serpent" included in his filmography. I watched it again just the other weekend - cinematic excellence!

Sure he does. He is an actor. He has name and face recognition. L&O was a great show, regardless of how liberal it was. And he is a Conservative which means Hollywood will eat their own.

I understand where you're coming from, but there are also some people in this world without MBAs who are financial successes and some who are successful without the benefit of college. Managing people and bureacracy is a matter of character and common sense. Maybe he has success managing his production company or some other media-related business. I wouldn't dismiss his chances. I'd like to hear more about him.
