Clint Eastwood: Ann Coulter, others, 'masochistic'

by Mark Silva

Clint Eastwood, actor, producer and himself a smalltown mayor, sees a sense of masochism in the Republicans who say they cannot support John McCain's bid for the White House.

In an interview with FOX Business Network’s Neil Cavuto live from Pebble Beach, Calif., at the site of the AT&T National Pro-Am Golf Tournament aired this evening, Eastwood talks politics.

Eastwood has this to say about Ann Coulter’s claim that she would vote for Hillary Clinton over John McCain: "Conservatives, often times, are very masochistic. They say, 'I’d rather not show up than have so-and-so. If it’s not my guy then I won’t show up’. You can’t be that way.”

I love Clint... but why should we listen to a lefty that hangs out with Paul Newman and Rob Reiner?

The Democrats had a moderate who compromised with the Republican party in Lieberman - and what did they do to him? They threw him out of the party.

Masochistic, I don’t know, but definitely anorexic. I did hear that interview with Mr. Eastwood this afternoon.

Once again, the notion is expounded that voting for someone other than is expected of you as a Republican is considered “not showing up”.

Sounds like I may need to meet Ms. Coulter.

I can be very stern at times.

But, maybe she would like that.

So I guess I'd have to be gentle.

But, I wouldn't like that.

This is just too confusing.

would somebody please take her off my hands? Please?

LOL, make my day. I see alot of sadism in both parties, just look at their nominees this year.

They don’t torture terrorists, but they will torture Americans.

You can still be friends with others of differing politics. Clint is a Republican with libertarian leanings.

Finally, sounding a bit like McCain on the campaign trail, the actor turned producer has this to say about political spending: “Both parties and both houses seem to be spending like drunken sailors. No offense to the Navy, of course.”

He hit that nail on the head.

I admire Clint. He is a great actor and producer. Sometimes however he chooses poorly in friends & casting for his films. I owned every film he put out until he started casting people like Sean Penn.

I just heard on fox (not fox news) that leiberman will be attending the Republican party convention rather than the dems. i thought I heard him say earlier this year he could not support Obama’s or Hillary’s position on the war.

Do you know of any gun control law that Eastwood did not support?

think of the troops - a vote for McCain at least doesn’t pull the rug out from under the troops and their sacrifice in Afghanistan and Iraq. that is quite a reason. life isn’t perfect and full of tough decisions.

I’ll tell you what, Clint. I’ll show up as long as McCain doesn’t put Huckabee on the ticket.

Clint Eastwood's political contributions:

DGA-PAC THE POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE OF THE DIRECTORS GUILD OF AMERICA INC. - $1,200 primary 09/15/06

Randy Eastwood (R) House (WA District: 01) RANDY EASTWOOD FOR CONGRESS Lost $250 general 09/21/04

Sam Farr (D) House (CA District: 17) FRIENDS OF FARR Won $1,000 general 05/13/02


Source: Newsmeat.com

Eastwood's allegedly a libertarian Republican, but the only conservative campaign he's contributed to is that of a distant cousin of his. Sam Farr is a very liberal Democrat, and the DGA-PAC gives overwhelmingly to Democrats. Evidently, he didn't even give to the Schwarzenegger campaign.

I'm a big fan of his, and he's free to do as he pleases with his money, but I don't see him as having anything to contribute to any discussion of Republican politics.

On the contrary, it is supporting some one who gives you ‘pain’ that is masochistic...
