Danny Aiello, italiano y con principios

During Bill Clinton's presidency, life-long Democrat Aiello became a Republican out of disgust for the behavior of the Commander-in-Chief. "I turned in my card to become a Republican because I did not want to be known as a Democrat under that person's regime. I'm a traditionalist. I have certain values that I live by, and he practices none of those things".

We talk about Hollywood being pro-labor, yet about 70 percent of our industry has been farmed out to Canada. We are losing jobs like crazy. Where's organized labor asking how we can allow such a thing to happen? Danny Aiello

Aiello was a Democrat until the Lewinsky sex scandal in 1998, when he switched his support to the Republican Party.

Todo el mundo quiere a Patricia Heaton

Patricia Heaton was having dinner and conversation with a few Hollywood friends when the subject of politics came up. When the "Everybody Loves Raymond" star said she's voting for George W. Bush, the chatter turned to awkward silence.
"You'd think I'd crapped in the middle of the table," the Emmy-winning actress says in "Rated R: Republicans in Hollywood," a documentary that premiered recently on AMC-TV.

"Yeah, and all these Democratic friends who, you know, are like 'I can't believe you voted for Bush' and I was like, hey, I get a tax refund, thank you very much."
"Las mujeres que están pasando por un embarazo inesperado también merecen la alegría inesperada." Patricia Heaton Ganadora dos veces del premio "Emmy" y la Presidenta Honoraria de Las Feministas Pro Vida.

Heaton, casada y con cuatro hijos, se presentó ante cámaras como directiva de "Feministas por la Vida" asociación que defiende a los no nacidos. "Nosotros tenemos una postura que la gente no ha escuchado antes, ser pro-vida es un asunto feminista", dijo. "Las primeras feministas eran pro-vida. Y realmente el aborto es una agresión contra la mujer y no se le presenta como tal", señaló Heaton. Asimismo, confesó que muchas veces es insultada en la calle por su postura y aceptó que otras famosas como Susan Sarandon o Barbra Streisand, no le tendrían mucha simpatía porque son activistas abortistas. No le angustia pensar que podría perder su empleo en Hollywood por su posición. "He pensado en esto. En el ámbito persona, como cristiana, no tendré a Barbra Streisand al frente cuando tenga que dar cuentas de mi vida", concluyó Heaton.

Marta Domínguez, nuestra campeonísima

La ligera fondista palentina, que recibió una llamada de felicitación del presidente del Gobierno mientras atendía a la prensa, se emocionó en el podio. Escuchó el himno nacional cerrando los ojos y llevándose la mano al corazón. Seguro que se acordó de sus miserias, de ese año y medio lesionada.

Fue el alcalde socialista, contra el que se enfrentará en las próximas elecciones municipales en las urnas, ya que Marta Domínguez se presentará por el Partido Popular a la concejalía de deportes, quién se dirigió a los asistentes en primera instancia recordando la valía como deportista y como persona de la atleta.
Aquí podes comprobar su presencia en la corporación municipal de Palencia (no le han puesto foto, con lo fácil que es conseguir una).

Gary Sinise: el teniente Dan ayuda en Irak

En estos enlaces, visitando al presidente Bush en la Casa Blanca.
http://sinisefans.org/2006/06/mr-sinise-goes-to-washington.html

http://www.blogsforbush.com/mt/archives/006270.html
During that trip, Sinise visited a school about 40 miles north of Baghdad that had been rebuilt by the Coalition. "The U. S. troops had built a floor and windows for a school that originally had nothing, and in a school where three or four kids share a pencil," Sinise said about what he saw that day. "What I saw was wonderful-the interaction between the Iraqi kids and soldiers had a beautiful spirit."
The country needs education. There are some very smart people in this country, but mostly the population is uneducated and uninformed. The Americans are helping Iraqis change that and that is good."
"Our original intention was not to raise money, but to involve the American people and show positive support for American troops," Sinise explained. "When the kits are sent over to the troops, many have included letters to the troops saying thank you and showing support. It's important that it comes right from the American people."

Emma Caulfield, un "demonio" a contracorriente

Caulfield is an outspoken political conservative, and in interviews has often expressed her feelings of ambiguity about acting, saying that eventually she may well give it up and do something else.
Emma is an "ultraconservative" and politically minded, saying that if Liddy Dole ever runs for office again, "I'm there!" Though she loves her current job, she's not so sure that she wants to be acting 15 years from now, noting that the business is masochistic, and that an actor can never have true peace.
Emma was born on April 6, 1973. Making her 28 this year in 2001. A surprising fact is that she holds a degree in psychology. Some actors spend their life doing nothing, and decide they want to act. Emma, on the other hand has a great profession to fall back on, and isn't sure if she will, or will not get out of acting. "I don't know that I want to act 15 years from now. I mean, I love the process of acting, but not the masochism. No matter how successful you get in Hollywood, you cannot rest. Your new movie doesn't open well; they're looking for the next person to replace you; it's always something. You never have true peace."

Plácido Domingo siempre afina

P: I'm curious: You are a personal friend of Aznar [the Spanish prime minister; Ed.]. Do you play paddle with him?
R: No, but we have a match pending. The paddle court at La Moncloa is very good for the knees because it's not a concrete court. I hope I'll be able to play him there some time.
P: There are general elections in March. Will you come to vote?
R: No, because I'll be in New York, but I will vote from there if they let me. And I am very interested in the outcome.
P: Who would you like to win?
R: I've always said that I don't believe in parties but in men and those who are govering now have done it very well and they merit another four years.

Las únicas remodelaciones atribuidas al último Gobierno han sido la pista de pádel para Aznar, regalo del tenor Plácido Domingo e instalada sobre la antigua pista de tenis, y la transformación de la bodeguiya, un lugar de tertulia para compartir con los amigos, en bodega privada del presidente, aficionado al mundo del vino.
El éxito de Plácido Domingo recuerda sus posibles deseos de presentarse como candidato a alcalde de Madrid por el Partido Popular. Sus amigos aseguran que es una idea ya abandonada. Por ahora.

Johnny Ramone, punk-rock de derechas

He was a rebel in a rebel's world, though. Johnny Ramone was a fiercely Republican-voting, NRA-supporting musician in a milieu that is remarkable for its embrace of all things left.
Johnny went worldwide public with his partisanship in 2002, when the Ramones were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. At the microphone to give props to the people who made it all possible, he offered his own version of a Michael Moore moment. "God bless President Bush, and God bless America," he said, clad in his trademark T-shirt, ripped blue jeans and leather jacket. "I said that to counter those other speeches at the other awards," Mr. Ramone says in a phone interview. "Republicans let this happen over and over, and there is never anyone to stick up for them. They spend too much time defending themselves."
His list of favorite Republicans should humble the Republican National Committee, or at least get him invited to a GOP fund-raiser: Ronald Reagan, Richard Nixon, Charlton Heston, [actor and close friend] Vincent Gallo, Ted Nugent, Messrs. Limbaugh and Hannity, Arnold Schwarzenegger, John Wayne and Tom DeLay.
He relishes agitating his left-wing peers — and has since the band started in 1974. "Oh yeah, they really get upset," Johnny says. "I remember in 1979 doing an interview for Creem magazine with [famed rock and roll scribe, now deceased] Lester Bangs and telling him that Ronald Reagan will be the next pre
sident. He was really mad that I liked Reagan, who was the greatest president of my lifetime. So I turned it around on him and asked to see his commie card. In fact, ever after that, I would ask him for his card. I think he had one, really."

Johnny got a bad rap for being a Republican. As if being in a rock and roll band means you MUST OBEY certain rules and vote and think about politics in a certain, accepted, left-wing manner? Sorry. Johnny never took any crap and didn't believe in bullshit, so he was not shy about being a Republican. A lot of people who knew him suspected that this might have been more posture than politics, but Johnny never let on that his views were anything but sincere.

Kim Smith, texana y republicana

http://www.jerseygop.com/RepublicanBabes83.html
P: Should we let people burn the flag?
R: No. It offends me. I’m thankful for my right to be free, but people who burn the flag can just leave. I’m not big into politics, but I respect the soldiers who’ve died for my freedom and people who have fought for our freedom.
P: Are you a big fan of George W. Bush?
P: Are you a big fan of George W. Bush?
R: I like him. After all, he’s from Texas. Half my family is Democrat and half is Republican, so I’m open-minded. Before the election, I watched every debate, I watched all the commentary, and I was very up to date. And I ended up voting for George Bush.
P: If you could tell him one thing, what would you say?
P: If you could tell him one thing, what would you say?
R: Well, I wouldn’t know what to say to him—I would just want to hug him. Honestly, it would be an honor to meet him.
