Damon made his money in those Bourne movies, which generally have Middle America (read: a lot of Republican) audiences. He’s playing with fire here.
Matt should ask the Dixie Chicks what happens to your career when you put left wing politics ahead of the views of your fans. It's akin to a bartender pissing in the beer. People stop patronizing you.
Nah, not really. These Hollywood jerks never speak out politically until they have enough cash stashed in Swiss banks to retire in Ireland, England, France -- anywhere but the U.S. And middle Americans tend to disregard such stuff when it comes to their entertainment anyhow. George Clooney still makes lots of money in popular movies.
