QUESTION: Who is the Most Famous/Respected Actor Likely to Support Ron Paul?

[ronpaulfan]

We need to convince Hollywood to support Dr. Paul. Who do you think is the most famous/respected actor who is likely to support Dr. Paul? Once we narrow down the list, lets do everything we can to gain their endorsement!

 

[ConstitutionGal]

I wish John Wayne was still alive!!! Maybe Patrick -- his son?

I'd also add Charlton Heston and maybe Clint Eastwood...

 

[uncloned21]

the Dixie Chicks?

 

[LibertyEagle]

It would be great to get Clint Eastwood.

 

[ronpaulfan]

Also, I know Tom Cruise is likely to but who else?

Also, please post the reasons why you think they would support Dr Paul.

 

[LibertyEagle]

the Dixie Chicks?

Not if you want Paul to get the Republican nomination. They hate the Dixie Chicks.

Isn't John Mayer a supporter? Doesn't he date Jessica Simpson?

This is the one to get! Who doesn't know and respect Clint Eastwood? He's a legend! The Man with No Name!

 

[ConstitutionGal]

the Dixie Chicks?

I dont' think so - not after the way the TOTALLY ticked off most of the Republican base. They're pretty well pariahs in traditional circles and those are the very people that we need to win the primaries.

Clint Eastwood sounds great, but why is he likely to support Ron Paul?

 

[Tim724]

This isn't a famous actor, but -

On Nov 5th I happened to be looking at the widget and saw Mark Mcgrath Los Angles, CA

Could it be the singer from Sugar Ray? - not that they are any good, but it is one more "celebrity"

Clint Eastwood sounds great, but why is he likely to support Ron Paul?

He's VERY conservative and was actually elected as mayor of mayor of Carmel, CA a few years back. Can you imagine a campaign commercial/endorsement from Dirty Harry? Who in their right mind would try to slam him?? We maybe need to find out where he stands on the whole WOT thing.

From here: http://www.cinematical.com/2007/02/26/clint-eastwood-slams-republicans-talks-iwo-jima-unforgiven-ne/ :

Eastwood intersperses the cinema talk with a dash of politics. He chides those who bash a film's themes without seeing it (Million Dollar Baby), and then makes a dig at Republicans: "I'm not really conservative. I'm conservative on certain things. I believe in less government. I believe in fiscal responsibility and all those things that maybe Republicans used to believe in but don't any more." Snap!

Also this:

USA Weekend asked:

So, socially, you're live-and-let-live. How about politically?

Clint said:

"I suppose. I don't see myself as conservative, but I'm not ultra-leftist. You build a philosophy of your own. I like the libertarian view, which is to leave everyone alone. Even as a kid, I was annoyed by people who wanted to tell everyone how to live. "

[Gimme Some Truth]

Isnt Bruce Willis an Independent?

Eastwood would be gold tho and has libertarian leanings

heres a few quotes:

"I like the libertarian view, which is to leave everyone alone."

"Abuse of power isn't limited to bad guys in other nations. It happens in our own country if we're not vigilant. Those in power get jaded, deluded, and seduced by power itself."

when he was asked: "How would you characterize yourself politically?" Eastwood replied: "Libertarian... Everyone leaves everyone else alone."

[DJ RP]

Not sure it would be a good one to get but Mel Gibson would be pretty easy, didn't his dad already endorse RP and say that he was going to encourage his children to do the same?

+ Presumably Gibson is against foreign aid to israel

+ I heard he is libertarian

 

[schmeisser]

ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER

No, really. He's fallen out of favor with the pundit/media class, but still popular with the masses.

Kurt Russell is also a libertarian
