According to Newsmax.com, who are Americas 25 Best Stars?
Any conservative who wants to vote at the box office for conservative minded actors, and against the liberal Hollywood liberals, here is a list of actors to support:
Mel Gibson what really happened to this megastar when he dared to produce The Passion of the Christ.
Tom Selleck why he has not been afraid of standing up for Ronald Reagan, even when it wasnt in vogue.
James Woods he turned his back on Hollywoods peaceniks to stand up for the war on terror.
Patricia Heaton a crusader for family values, this actress would not give up her values for her career.
There are many more stars NewsMax salutes.
Youll find their stories and why we rate them Americas Best Stars.
They include: Andy Garcia, Gary Sinise, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Chuck Norris, LL Cool J, Freddie Prinze Jr. and Sarah Michelle Gellar, Dennis Miller, Denzel Washington, Robert Duvall, Catherine Bell, Danny Aiello, James Earl Jones, Ron Silver, Kelsey Grammer, Morgan Brittany, Ben Stein, Pat Boone, Kathy Ireland, Rick Schroeder and Bo Derek.

Dixie Carter (Designing Women) is also a solid Conservative Republican.
I found an interesting quote about that:
Liberals are always whining that most Republican actors are "B" list or has-beens. But a Hollywood friend once told me that many of those got that way because their allegiance was discovered, and their careers torpedoed afterwards. Ann Jillian was up for a big role when she supported Reagan. The deal was cancelled.
"Dixie Carter (Designing Women) is also a solid Conservative Republican."
Are you nuts?! She's one of the biggest liberals in h'wood.... a big friend of the Clintons.
bump for later reading.
Maybe you are thinking of the character (Julia) she played in Designing Women.
You did a good job of listing alot of the actors I like in their work. Sure would like to see more of Tom Sellek. Met him once when I worked at Universal Studios (in another life) and he was a very nice person. James Garner is also very nice. Wonder what his politics are?
Ron Silver spoke at the Republican convention. He also spoke at one of Clinton's inaugurations. He is like alot of former liberals I have meet that were changed by the events of September 11th. I would imagine there are a lot more of them in Hollywood than would care to admit it.
Is Mark Harmon conservative? Saw him in a movie called "Summer School", it's an 80's comedy, but it did preach a message about hard work and dedication.
Maybe you are thinking of the character (Julia) she played in Designing Women.
Are you sure y'all aren't thinking of Delta Burke? She was shredded by the media for gaining weight while on the show, but I believe she and her husband, Gerald McRainey, are Rebpublicans.
Angie Harmon, Gene Simmons (A big supporter of Israel) Fred Thompson, and Dennis Franz.
I believe that altho Rob Lowe is a liberal, he was very adamant about being pro-Iraq war.
Thank you for telling me what to do. I wouldn't know what to do without your guidance.
Tom Selleck did a great job playing Supreme Allied Commander Ike (Ike: Countdown to D-Day). I even thought that he really went bald for real. It was such a good movie, that I bet he'll have to regularly shave his head for sequels.
It's a must see film: http://www.aetv.com/tv/shows/ike/
I give it 5 out of 4 stars (get it, he was a Supreme Allied Commander...5 star general...oh, nevermind).
Maybe some are not liberals or conservatives. More like libertarians. They don't follow the pc hollywood crowd.
You'll never find an actor of any talent who has well thought out political convictions -- on the left or the right -- simply because of the nature of the work they do.
