[LynneSin]

2. Wow, I didn't realize you were incapable of posting

Yeah, I saw that list too. I was happy to see Jeff Lurie (owner of Eagles) at 75% dem (he donated to Arlen Specter which I can live with that)

[kay1864]

[KamaAina]

20. Merv Griffin, like Cagney, shall contribute to repukes no longer

except possibly in Hell, Heaven, as you know, being solidly Blue.

[kay1864]

25. Seriously, though

Merv Griffin Enterprises might still support them. Dunno. Food for thought at least.

[Left Is Write]

36. Nor will Eva Gabor.

[RFKHumphreyObama]

57. Nor will Ray Acuff

He's deceased too

[Initech]

37. Lee Greenwood... SERIOUSLY not surprising.

He fits the definition of "patriotic chickenhawk asshole".

[VenusRising]

45. I read that as "patriotic chicken-wank asshole"

:rofl:

I need my eyes checked. :crazy:

[Initech]

49. I dont even want to know what that is!

:rofl:

[VenusRising]

50. I have no idea, but...

I'm sure the republicans know.

:rofl:

[Initech]

51. Just ask that guy who got caught at the MSP airport bathroom!

:rofl:

[VenusRising]

52. Senator Wide-stance?

No thanks.

You ask him!

:rofl:

[MissMillie]

68. yeah, Robert Duvall breaks my heart too

that's a shame

[greatauntoftriplets]

5. James Cagney has been dead for about 20 years.

:shrug:

[kay1864]

8. I'z just typin'

[kay1864]

7. H-K

Tippi Hedren
Charlton Heston (omg!)
Bob Hope
Dennis Hopper
Arianna Huffington (I think she's forgiven by now :P)
Kevin James
Toby Keith
Dean Koontz
Swoosie Kurtz

[LSK]

9. Merle Haggard has since written an anti-Iraq war song

[LynneSin]

11. They pull records from 20 years ago

I'm shocked about Swoozie Kurtz - she's very vocally pro-choice

[kay1864]

14. Plus

they don't allow you to sort by percentage OR $ given.

[kay1864]

18. Swoosie gave $250 to the GOP primary in 1991, and that was it

A lot of these celebs are cheap!

[LibraLiz1973]

28. NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Not Dean Koontz!!
You've got to be fucking kidding me??


Holy shit, that shocks and annoys me so.

[hfojvt]

32. he's been writing some anti-government BS in his novels

since "Dark Rivers of the Heart" that I noticed. Even in Mr. Murder, when the hero changes his name to John Gault, made me think he was into Randian BS. As much money as he has probably made and he's bound to be a little bit economically conservative. He's very much into guns too, at least in his books.

[Bjornsdotter]

53. Toby Keith

....Quelle surprise

[GoddessOfGuinness]

61. Bob Hope is dead.

And Arianna can't still support these yoyos, can she?

[kay1864]

10. L-N

Lorenzo Lamas
Cloris Leachman
David Limbaugh
Art Linkletter
Heather Locklear
Traci Lords
Loretta Lynn
Wink Martindale

[KamaAina]

19. Traci Lords!!!

Dare we even speculate on which particular repukes she, um, supports? (*cough*Vitter*cough*) :rofl:

[kay1864]

22. $300 to the RNC in 2004

[Initech]

41. "Dr." Phil, another who is seriously not surprising.

But Chuck Norris - NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

And since when is David Limbaugh a celebrity? When is ANYONE with the last name Limbaugh a celebrity?

[WritingIsMyReligion]

47. Chuck Norris is a major Christian fundie.

So he isn't surprising in the least. ;)

[GoddessOfGuinness]

62. Jim Nabors? Really?

I find that hard to believe.

[kay1864]

13. O-R

John O'Hurley
Buck Owens
Lou Pearlman
George Peppard
Maury Povich
Prince (wtf?)
Cesar Romero
Jeri Ryan :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

17. Now, in Jeri Ryan's defense, she was married to a rather domineering Repub Senator.

who was also a sleaze.

Or were those donations recent? I can only find one on Newsmeat.com for $250 in '96 (while she was still married to Jack Ryan.)

[kay1864]

21. That's it for 1978-present.

Oh good, I can go back to lusting after her now. Thanks! :hi:

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

23. Hey, this isn't a guarantee that Jeri Ryan isn't a die-hard Republican.

She just hasn't donated significantly since '96, I think.
And Kate Mulgrew on ST:Voyager is an anti-choicer (last I heard). So you never know.

(Edited for overuse of the word "die-hard")

[kay1864]

27. Didn't know that about Kate Mulgrew

Weird to be such a role model for female fans, and then be anti-choice.

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

29. I read that somewhere, but I can't find the reference.

So I could be completely wrong.
I was just rather shocked to find out, when I heard it. And you're right, it's very weird.

[kay1864]

40. I searched, but found only anti-choice sites saying that

It may well be true, but I couldn't find a neutral source.

[RFKHumphreyObama]

56. But Kate Mulgrew's not a Republican, I'm pretty sure

She's married to the former Cuyahoga County Commissioner who was the unsuccessful Democratic nominee for Governor four years ago

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

58. Really?

(In my best Johnny Carson voice) "I did not know that."

Perhaps I was mistaken about Mulgrew. I'd love to be mistaken (I must admit that her performance as Captain Janeway grew on me.)

[RFKHumphreyObama]

65. Here is her husband

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Hagan

[Left Is Write]

38. GAH! John O'Hurley is supporting Guiliani for president?

Oh, John. Say it ain't so! :(

[Left Is Write]

39. Prince's only noted contributions are for Rudy Boschwitz from 17 years ago.

I'd be willing to give him a pass at this point.

[kay1864]

15. S-T

Pat Sajak
Adam Sandler
Phyllis Schlafly :o
Rick Schroder
Tracy Scoggins
Paul Shaffer
Gary Sinise
Tony Sirico
Jaclyn Smith
Kevin Sorbo
Mickey Spillane
Robert Stack
Connie Stevens
Jimmy Stewart
George Strait
Joel Surnow
Dr Herman Tarnower
Rip Torn
Alex Trebek

[KamaAina]

24. I remember seeing Shaffer's name last time this came up

turns out his brother-in-law, or at any rate someone bearing his wife's rather uncommon surname, ran for Congress as a repuke.

[progressoid]

59. Phew, thanks for clearing that up.

I would have been shocked if it were true.

[LibraLiz1973]

31. No way is Sandler a repub. I can't believe that!

[kay1864]

34. $2100 to Rudy Giuliani in Feb 2007

Maybe Adam likes his NY accent :shrug:

[LibraLiz1973]

55. Well, that's it for me with Sandler movies

Fuckin Giuliani???

That is the worst.

[Left Is Write]

42. Spillane, Stack, Stewart, Tarnower = dead guys

[kay1864]

46. Picky, picky

And WHY do you think they're dead, huh??? If they were Dem contributors they'd still be alive!

:silly:

[Left Is Write]

48. Well, one of them was murdered...

the other three just lived hard. :P

[kay1864]

54. Well there's your proof then!

A conspiracy!

:crazy:

[Initech]

44. Joel Surnow - creator of 24 and the piss poor attempt at humor called the "1/2 Hour News Hour"

[GoddessOfGuinness]

63. NOOoooo! Not Gary Sinise!

:cry:

And Alex Trebek? ARRRRGGGGH!

[kay1864]

16. U-Z

Dick Van Patten
James Woods
Tammy Wynette
Martin Yan
Dwight Yoakam
Stephanie Zimbalist

[Richardo]

26. Patricia Cornwell should be no surprise

She dedicated one book to Orrin Hatch and wrote a bio of Mrs Billy Graham.

That said, I still like the earlier Scarpetta books.

[LibraLiz1973]

30. Julie Bowen from Boston Legal???

Wow

[kay1864]

33. $1000 in 2002

to BENTLEY, HELEN DELICH (R)
House (MD)

[Left Is Write]

43. I always think of her as Carol Vessey from Ed.

[progressoid]

60. Holy Crap!

Steve Bing (producer) 42

$2,000 Republican
$9,712,176 Democrat
$1,061,927 special interest
total: $10,776,103

:wow:

[FunkyLeprechaun]

67. Ditto

I thought he was a jerk for denying that Hurley's son was his (even though the resemblance was rather striking).

:wow:

He's donated to Franken's campaign as well!

[Reverend_Smitty]

64. What's up with all these game show hosts being Republicans?

Sajak, Barker, Martindale, Trebek...wonder if Monte Hall is a Democrat

[FunkyLeprechaun]

66. I'm kinda not surprised by Crystal Bernard (Wings)

As she's from Texas. (Not bashing any Texan DU-ers)

Hmm... The Clark mum and daughter, I'll talk their ear off. They need to fucking study Irish history and the potato famine (in those days, the British refused to give food to the Irish, only if they converted to Protestantism (even now the Catholics call anyone with a Catholic last name but a practicing Protestant "soupers"). They were prominently featured in the magazine World of Hiberna as successful Irish Americans. EDIT: Mary's father was an Irish Immigrant... no doubt he was affected by the Famine. When the Great Depression hit, he wanted to help the poor by giving them food from the family pub (which eventually made them broke).

I'm completely surprised with Patricia Cornwell (loved her book about Jack the Ripper). She's a married lesbian (who lives in MA) who's traveled the world. Are you SURE she's Republican? .......

EEEWWWWW..... according to Wiki: "She befriended George W. Bush...."

Ugh ugh ugh.I'm sure it's due to her troubled past (she suffered anorexia and drug abuse, I'm certain she turned to religion sometime afterwards). Let's hope something changes her ASAP.
