Newsmeat, a site that lists public campaign contributions has a section for celebrities.

Being curious as to which celebrities, other than the obvious ones (Charlton Heston, Tom Selleck, for example), may be republican, I looked through the list for celebrities who donated more to the GOP than the democrats. Here are a few of the more prominent ones:





And here the biggest surprises, people who kind of made my jaw drop to find them on the GOP donor list


This is not a completely scientific thing, obviously. It only records certain kinds of donations and obviously doesn’t necessarily mean this is how the celebrity is registered to vote. Still, I thought some, especially the “jaw droppers” were interesting.

Technically James Woods is a Democrat. But at the same time, he's an uncharacteristically patriotic Democrat. Much like Ron Silver.

And of course Lords is on the donor list. She wouldn't have had such a successful career in the porn industry if not for capitalism.

Interestingly enough, Silver still gives more money to democrats than republicans

Well, yeah. But when you put as much sweat and effort into the business as she did, you tend to appreciate what really gave you the success.

In the Soviet Union lots of great movies and theatre plays was made. Not saying that USSR was better than USA or socialism better than capitalism.

Okay, you totally missed the joke.

I'm sure movies were made (as long as they were sponsored by the state), but how well were the actors treated? Were they porn stars?
