On Sunday, August 29th, Andre will be shaking it like a poloroid picture for the Republican party. http://www.sohh.com/thewire/read.php?conte...ghlight=Outkast All I have to say is, if Andre 3000 is a Repub, it instantly trumps every single celebrity on the Democrat side.

NoCalMike 0 Report post Posted August 30, 2004 Alice Cooper's my new hero after reading this... No more Mr. Nice Guy: Alice Cooper, a shock rocker back in the old days and now a fan of President Bush, says rock stars who've jumped on the John Kerry bandwagon -- Sheryl Crow, Dave Matthews, James Taylor and Bruce Springsteen among them -- are treasonous morons. "To me, that's treason. I call it treason against rock-and-roll, because rock is the antithesis of politics. Rock should never be in bed with politics," the 56-year-old told the Canadian Press news service as he embarked last week on a 15-city Canadian tour. Never one to avoid self-examination, Alice (aka Vincent Damon Furnier) added: "If you're listening to a rock star in order to get your information on who to vote for, you're a bigger moron than they are. Why are we rock stars? Because we're morons. We sleep all day, we play music at night and very rarely do we sit around reading the Washington Journal." (We think he meant watching C-SPAN's "Washington Journal," or maybe he meant perusing the Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal, but either way you get the idea.) "Besides, when I read the list of people who are supporting Kerry, if I wasn't already a Bush supporter, I would have immediately switched. Linda Ronstadt? Don Henley? Geez, that's a good reason right there to vote for Bush." Meanwhile, the GOP announced Monday that the country duo Brooks & Dunn will headline the entertainment at the Republicans' convention next week in New York. Other talent includes country singer Lee Ann Womack, Christian rock band Third Day and gospel vocalist Donnie McClurkin. Party on! uh-huh, so someone with an opinion as whacko-right as Ann Coulter, is your hero? Look supporting republicans is one thing, but as soon as the "treason card" is used, that is where a person pretty much loses credibility. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He basically said he was a born again christian and he would support the candidate he felt had "more faith" I am dead serious, No war on Iraq, no economy, no education etc.......all the anchor could get out of him was, "Well I believe Bush has more faith" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Look supporting republicans is one thing, but as soon as the "treason card" is used, that is where a person pretty much loses credibility. He said it was treason against rock and roll, not against the U.S., hippie. And what I loved about the article was when he said "If you're listening to a rock star in order to get your information on who to vote for, you're a bigger moron than they are. Why are we rock stars? Because we're morons. We sleep all day, we play music at night and very rarely do we sit around reading the Washington Journal." I don't quite agree with him 100 percent, because I think political activism has its place in the music world, but I just think the quote is funny. And I highly doubt that Dre is a Republican since I seem to remember that Outkast was supporting Wesley Clarke during the Democrat primaries; however, you never know -- look at the Ramones for example...

NoCalMike 0 Report post Posted August 30, 2004 http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/08/30/...arty/index.html The GOP convention's first big celebrity bash By Susan Pettit CNN Monday, August 30, 2004 Posted: 7:00 PM EDT (2300 GMT) CNN's Bob Franken on the opening of the convention. NEW YORK (CNN) -- First twins Barbara and Jenna Bush, the president's 22-year-old daughters, made a Hollywood-style arrival Sunday at "R: The Party," the Republican convention's first big celebrity bash. The twins rolled up in front of the Roseland Ballroom in Manhattan in a black luxury SUV and alighted for a "photo op" down a media-lined red carpet. Stylishly dressed in jeans and high-heels, the twins posed for photos, smiled and waved as they made their way into the party. They did not speak to the media, despite shouts from hundreds of reporters and onlookers to "speak! speak!" Inside, media were herded to a roped-off area for one-on-one interviews with "persons of interest," including World Wrestling Entertainment diva Ivory and WWE superstar Mark Henry, billed as the "World's Strongest Man." Henry won first place in the "World's Strongest Man" competition in the 2002 Arnold Schwarzenegger Classic. Ivory said she was appearing in a "nonpartisan" capacity as part of Rock the Vote's effort to increase the number of young voters. "We're trying to get 20 million young people out to vote," she said. Henry agreed, saying, "It's about getting people involved. If you vote, you win." To his wrestling fans, he promised, "I'm coming back soon." More than 1,000 party-goers listened to a variety of live musical entertainment and danced between acts to music selected by a DJ. Huge TV screens over the stage mirrored the action on the dance floor. Actor Stephen Baldwin was among those in the crowded ballroom, but he said he was not affiliated with a political party. "I'm here to try to support faith-based politics," he said. He declined to name his candidate of choice, saying only that "I'm going to vote for the guy who will truly be led by God." Like President Bush, Baldwin is a born-again Christian. Actress Angie Harmon and her husband, NFL player Jason Sehorn, were on the guest list, along with actress Bo Derek who made her way to the VIP lounge where the Bush daughters and their friends were said to be. The daughters -- fraternal twins -- graduated from college in May and have just recently begun to publicly campaign for their father. They have focused some attention on turning out the youth vote. Bush's re-election campaign sent out an e-mail last week with a message from Jenna and Barbara Bush saying that less than half of 18- to 24-year-olds were registered to vote in the last election and that only 32 percent actually did vote. On Monday, the daughters were scheduled to attend -- but not speak -- at a Bush-Cheney '04 event titled "W Stands for Women." Former first lady Barbara Bush, the twins' grandmother, and their aunt, Doro Bush Koch, also were slated to attend the event at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. It is one of several minor campaign appearances the daughters are expected to make during the convention. The first daughters are not scheduled to speak on the floor of the convention hall as the daughters of Democratic nominee John Kerry did during the Democratic National Convention in Boston, Massachusetts, earlier this month. However, they are slated to be in the convention hall at Madison Square Garden when first lady Laura Bush delivers a prime-time speech Tuesday and for their father's acceptance speech Thursday.

A recent poll showed people who plan on voting said celebrities influence their decision 0%. That's a postive, since i'd rather have voters decide who they're voting for based in their opinions, and not what Alec Baldwin, or Dennis Miller say.

Not according to Mick Foley. http://forums.thesmartmarks.com/index.php?showtopic=60336 Perhaps he changed parties? I'd always heard The Rock was a Republican as well. Well I just about KNEW Foley was a Democrat (one more reason for him and Flair to hate each other I guess) after those two shots he took at Bush in Foley is Good and his sucking up to Liebermann to end the book. Of course he doesn't consider that the hardcore religious right and the moderate right are not one in the same, which ironically he touched on a few pages earlier when talking about how Bush Sr. wanted Bozell to pull his ads. As for Rock, well Foley DID eventually convince him that his whole 99 tweener character was supposedly wrong--of course that was cause he wanted his straight out of ECW 'You didn't check on me backstage' angle, so I guess he can be easily manipulated. However a Democrat can support Bush, see Sen. Miller, Zell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jobber of the Week 0 Report post Posted August 31, 2004 Zell Miller isn't a democrat. I'm sorry, but he's not. He's not a moderate, he's a conservative. I have no problems with moderates like Breaux, but Zell Miller isn't a democrat. Oh I see the day he came out in support of Bush he turned in his Democrat tag............... He was one of them DINO's right? Here's a clue for you. I have always hated the people who talk about "RINOs." I hated that Schwartzenegger got labeled that by one of the prominent Orange County fundies during the recall race just becuase he didn't hate gays and didn't want to eradicate every gun control law ever passed, or because of who his wife is, etc. I also didn't care for the people who pull that same shit on John McCain. I first found out about Zell when Cancer Marney tried to shove editorial he wrote in my face as some sort of sign that Bush was so well-loved that Democrats were turning against their own candidates and were going to support Bush. I kind of had no opinion on the guy until it was revealed he'll be one of the guests of honor at the RNC. Now, I don't think I'm that far out of the mainstream view, but I think when you speak at the other guy's convention as an invited guest, it's time to consider switching. And if McCain or Arnie suddently shows up at the DNC as a Republican, let me know, I'll bitch about them flip-flopping, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
