Who cares? He's a freaking actor, he puts on makeup and spends his time pretending to be someone else.

What makes his opinion more infromed or important than anyones else's?

Icon9 You and Michael Moore

First you should get your facts right before you speak. Second Bush is the worst president in history in my opinion. He's a liar (proven) he doesn't use correct english when talking and his wife was a school teacher for heavens sake. I think your very much in the minority and don't stand a chance of putting your canidate through in the comming election. People want change and republicans and their canidate is not going to deliver!
McCain was qouted as saying: "Health care needs no fixing people need to eat right and excercise to cut down on health problems". I guess he forgot that cancer, aids, diabeti's, tuberculosous,autism, down sydrome,and the many other formidial diseaes out there can't be fixed with eating and excercise. What an absolutely stupid thing to say from a man you want to vote in office!

Did I say it was? But in this case I probably am since I have had to listen to Obama's horse(*)(*)(*)(*) for the last couple of years as he has accomplished nothing for the state he is supposed to represent

Hey - I just made up a joke:

Q: What do Reagan and Cheney have in common?

A: They both co-starred with a chimp!

Why does this matter?
Obviously he was going to support someone.
Probably wasn't going to be McCain. He actually attacked Hillary for flip-flopping in Sicko.

Obama wasn't even his first pick I'm betting. If Edwards or Kucinich were still in the race, I bet he'd pick one of them.

I think Moore is intellectually dishonest. This does not mean I don't agree with him from time to time (often for reasons other than the ones he gives- which are more for tugging the heartstrings of audiences)... and really I'm not even going to call him a bad person- no worse than any pundit.

And all that said, why would this be a strike against Obama.
I could see if the case were Obama endorsing Michael Moore... then maybe there would be a point (albeit a weak one).

Hey dont forget Ric Flair the pro wrestler....WOOOOOOO! lol.


Actually I know of quite a few actors/entertainers that lean towards the right. Adam Sandler, Mel Gibson, Britney Spears (ouch lol), Jessica Simpson, I THINK Bruce Willis, Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger (obviously), Clint Eastwood is a Libertarian but does lean to the right on alot of issues, Dennis Miller, Chuck Norris and others.

I also think that "old" hollywood back in the day leaned pretty heavily to the right.

Country Music is like 99% Republican and that other 1% is the Dixie Chicks and Tim McGraw lol.

Im going to guess that the majority of NASCAR leans to the right. I admit I am generalizing though and kind of grouping them in with the Country Music crowd which may or may not be unfair but its not meant to be an insult.

Charles Barkley is a Republican.

So they have their fair share of celebrities as well.

I personally dont care about someones political affiliation. I lean more towards the left, however I like SOME country music. I am a big Sly Stallone fan, I was a big Ric Flair fan when I was younger, and hey the Chuck Norris "facts" are still pretty funny stuff.

Its pretty interesting though to look at the differences between the celebrities who lean to the right compared to the left and the different types of entertainment they are involved in on average.

Of everyone on that list, Adam Sandler is the only one I would think would be liberal if I wasn't familiar with his politics. The rest are mostly either the "tough guy" sorts, and people who are more into "simple" things such as country music. Im not saying "simple" in a bad way, im kind of saying that they arent quite as artsy fartsy.

Whereas you look at alot of the liberal actors and musicians out there and alot of the more outspoken ones are very "artsy"

Its just interesting to look at.

Kelsey Grammar, Gary Sinise, Dennis Quaid, Fred Thompson, Ben Stein, Tom Selleck, Wayne Newton, Drew Carey, tons of sports stars and my personal favorite Jim Caviezel.

I didn't pay attention to the women on the list.

I'll give the proper respect to people like Grammer, Sinise and Quaid - no dummies there. But the sports stars? ALL they care about is keeping more of their millions - it's all about the GOP mantra of low taxes. They could give a (*)(*)(*)(*) about any other issue.
