Why are most of the Hollywood stars democrats? This can't be a mere co-incidence?

I think a better question would be, "why are Hollywood democrats such hypocrites?".\n\nHave you wondered things like, why the tree hugging Barbara Streisand has her personal RV follow her limo out to restaurants in case she has to use the toilet?  If you figure that one out, ask why she charges so much for a ticket to her show, and wonder why she doesn't think the 'less fortunate' people should be able to enjoy her shows.\n\nOr, why they are all living in those multi-million dollar homes when they could be feeding the hungry children of the world?\n\n\nThe answer to your question is basically similar to nepotism.  The 'Ted Turners' who control Hollywood are democrats, so they hire democrats.  If you disagree with their hypocritical socialist ways, you will not work in Hollywood, unless your family has been very established already.

Well, that used women, Sheehan, and Michael Moore, are useful as long as they can slander Republicans. Since Democrats have regained control, I suspect you will hear a lot less of these two. Unless there is a opportunity to slander, for political gain.

There are plenty of fat democrats as well - Michael Moore, Bill Clinton, Janet Reno, Monica Lewinsky...

They are not, and you are obviosusly biased.  Speaking of voting the ticket, you do know about the general voting patterns of minority groups, Hollywood types, Soccer Moms, right?  \n\nIn the NY tri-state area, the mosy uninformed voters I have ever known are Democrats.  They tend to be naive idealists and don't educate themselves sufficiently to make informed decisions regarding issues having long term ramifications.\n\nThey will also never understand tax policy.

I guess it's only if the media wants to run with the story...how much ratings it will get them to report it over and over again. Your Political Parties are fueled off the main stream media, so if your famous, and you make a rude remark, and it is getting closer to the elections, it will be smeared everywhere. Or they "the liberals" really don't want to hear or care what Hollywood is saying unless it's for their cause and it starts getting more air time.

A very astute observation, and definitely a major problem for the Democratic party. I think that's why Hillary Clinton has been trying to present herself as more moderate. She's not.\n\nIf John Kennedy were alive today, I imagine he would be treated much like Joe Liberman.

There are a few "celebrities" who actually practice what they preach. Very few. Most just go about their privledged lives and spew crap because people listen to them. I like the book title, although you should drop the "uneducated" part. That way you could have a "forward" by John Kerry and Al Gore.

Welcome to the "Big Tent" party!! We Democrats are proud to say that we have no membership quotas of any kind. Black, Brown, Yellow, Red, Young, Old, Female, Gay, Lesbian, whatever.\n\nWhy, they even have room for middle-aged, fat, bald, straight, white guys, like me.\n\nWelcome, my brother, welcome!

i suppose some do. what really bothers me is that non-celebrities pick up the causes of celebrities because they are deemed cool.  i am now seeing "save darfur" magnetic ribbons on cars now...just shortly after George Clooney was on Oprah and the topic came up with him and Lisa Ling.

Yeah, right on.  Don't you get sick of liberals blaming Bush for their problems and getting political advice from actors?  Hello, they are actors, what do they know about politics?  Most of them have no values.  Mel Gibson and Arnold Swargn???(I can't spell Swarzaneggar) are the exception.

There is a couple of things that contribute to this in my opinion.  First being the differences in people.  People tend to respond badly to people who are different just to make themselves feel better, and superior in there oddities. The other being no common goal.  If we have learned nothing else from Hollywood, lol, it is that when faced with a great adversity, humans will unite to overcome it.  Kinda like a bad virus really. Not to be too cliche.

the democrats arent some kind of saints by any means. remember, they're politician, so all of them are bad ppl. lol.\n\nbut right now, they're certainly the lesser of two evils. at the republican convention a month or 2 ago, the republicans made a movie. they used footage from star wars and showed themselves as rebels fighting the "evil democrat empire".\n\njon stewart played it on the daily show and said "you have both houses, you have the presidency.... (whispers an points at camera) you're the empire.  the democrats, AT BEST, are ewoks."

Stars have the right to vote and to support their candidate too.  It may even be a public service if they draw attention to a candidate so that his/her message is heard.  But when a star crosses a certain line and viciously smears the opposition and lends no useful information to the debate, I know I will not be able to watch them in a movie and get lost in the story like I should.  I have no intention of sitting there and fuming when I just want entertainment so I pass up the opportunity.

Usually the Republicans however it is not exclusive, some Democrats do also.

First of all, yes I do see your point and I'm pleased you had the wherewithall to present it in an intelligent manner.  \n\nI agree with you completely, and on every point.  While many criticisms can be made about all political parties, the politicians that like to bend the truth more than any other tend to be Democrats.  I'm certain there are some die-hard Democratic supporters out there that will disagree, but it'd been my experience that anyone who is open minded and well informed will agree.  I have personally voted both Repulican and Democrat during my life, with an occasional venture into some of the lesser known parties as well.  I'm looking for the best person for the job- not their party affiliation.  \n\nThe saddest part of this tale is that so many people are decieved in the first place- by both major parties, but far more frequently by Democrats.  My wish is that everyone would set aside their preconceptions and actually research what a given politician is saying, check out their voting record on important issues, and make an informed decision based on facts- not hearsay.  \n\nI also agree that war is sometimes a necessary evil.  Anyone who disagrees can ask the opinion of a Jew who survived the concentration camps.\n\nOur current President may not have all the answers, but I do believe he is doing the best job he can given the circumstances, and I don't know anyone Republican or Democrat who can do better than to try.\n\nSo the answer to your question "Why do Democrats sometimes sound confused on political matters" is, because they are.  Democrats are just as human as you, me, Republicans, Independents, Green Party Candidates, and everyone else.  Be careful who you vote for.
