Dennis Quaid just admitted he voted for the Shrub in '04

[Buddyblazon]

I don't know why, but I have the Today show on in the background. I don't ever watch the show. It was the station it was on when I turned it on. I work from home...like the TV on and don't pay much attention.

But I'm sitting here doing reports. Katie asks him, "And you voted for Gore in '00...and Bush in '04. Correct?"

"Yea Katie. I vote either ways. I'm not a Bush basher."

Well I'm now a Quaid basher.

Hey Dennis. You are THAT guy. The ONE guy that voted for Gore...AND Bush.

You're a fucking idiot. I piss on your movies.

[xultar]

1. Welp, now I HATE HIS FUCKIN GUTZ.

[madmunchie]

53. How about Travolta? He camapigned for Bush!!!!!

I never look at him and see him the same either. It makes me sick!

[bliss_eternal]

55. Really? That's a shame...

I did not know he campaigned for him...what an asshat! No more Travolta movies allowed in this house, not even on cable.

[Mr_Spock]

58. Ewwww, Travolta goes to the "no watch" list too

Damn, I had to toss my "Braveheart" DVD I got as a gift because I was sickened every time I saw the name "Mel Gibson" :(

[cmkramer]

59. Got proof?

I know he supported Clinton in 1996. I never saw anything about his political leanings in either 2000 or 2004.

[madmunchie]

60. I don't have a link or anything, but I personally saw pictures of him

during the campaign with Bush and there were articles and about it.

[cmkramer]

68. Really?

Funny how there seems to be nothing online about that.

And funny how his name never ever came up during the campaign as someone who supported Bush.

IOW, if anyone can provide proof -- by proof I mean Travolta actually saying something like "I think he's been a great president and I will vote for him gladly" not just "I've met the President and I like him a lot", I'll believe it.

[madmunchie]

69. What I saw was John Travolta on a stage with Bush at a campaign stop....

ON THE STAGE. And there was something about Travolta flying someone around from Bush's entourage. I did post this at least a couple of times with no response. The last time I posted it was during the time of Katrina when Travolta was helping with the Hurricane victims. Again, nobody responded. Hey, I used to be a real big Travolta fan, after I saw and read that, I tried to find Travolta's web site or fan club so that I could write him and ask him how he could support the lunatic. But I couldn't really find anything that looked like it would go to JT. Since then, I cannot look at Travolta the same way. It literally made me sick. Travolta didn't just vote for Bush, he CAMPAIGNED WITH HIM AND FOR HIM. Don't believe me, I don't care, but I know what I saw. Believe whatever you want. I have no reason to lie.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

2. I can understand...

(ick) voting for Shrub in 2000, but 2004?? There's just no fucking reasonable excuse.

Quaid, you are a fucking idiot.

[emulatorloo]

17. The reasons those types gave for voting for bush--

"We can't change presidents in the middle of a war!"

"Bush will be more moderate this time -- he has learned his lesson!"

"He is so natural - not all polished like Kerry!"

"Democrats can't/won't protect us from the terrorists!"

"I Just LIKE him!!!!!"

[havocmom]

3. Is he out promoting his latest movie?

Might be part of the PR thing?

[Buddyblazon]

6. He is...

and he basically eluded to the fact that he play's Bush.

[havocmom]

9. uh-huh. That's what I thought.

There is probably method to his maddness.

[Kazak]

4. Must'a been the debates...

:eyes:

[BobRossi]

5. I always thought Randy was the stupid one! nt

[mdmc]

7. who is dennis quaid

I know that he is an actor. Has he been in anything worthwhile?

[im10ashus]

10. "Has he been in anything worthwhile?"

Only Meg Ryan.

[leftchick]

15. LOL!

:rofl:

[im10ashus]

24. LOL!

It's true! :-)

[newportdadde]

18. Heh.

Nice :rofl:

[Libby2]

34. lmao!! (nt)

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

45. hahahahahahaha!!!! roflmao!!!!!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Buddyblazon]

11. Oh...I'm positive you know who he is...

here....


http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000598/

[mdmc]

14. thanks for the link

I have seen him in some of those flicks

[Crankie Avalon]

8. Who cares about him? How did his brother vote?

Dennis Quaid is thoroughly untalented and not even pretty, anymore (if he ever was). At least Randy Quaid has turned in a few funny performances in some OK movies.

[wordpix]

12. maybe that's why Meg Ryan left him

[doodadem]

13. Actually, I think there's a few worthwhile Dennis Quaid movies

I particularly like "Enemy Mine", with Lou Gossett Jr.

And he does have a killer smile........

[Frank Cannon]

35. Not to mention "The Right Stuff"

Who's the greatest pilot in the world?

[tridim]

36. And Innerspace.. An underrated movie IMO

Mostly for Martin Short's role though.

[Guaranteed]

46. See "Savior." Will blow your mind.

Absolutely, no question his best role ever.

[Lisa]

48. I liked him in "Come See the Paradise"

It's a pretty scathing look at what happened to the Japanese-Americans who were interned during WWII -- and to the non-Japanese who tried to protest this violation of civil rights. Quaid's character is a leftist union organizer. (I am having some trouble imagining how someone who played Jack McGurn could vote for Bush, especially twice in a row.)

Oh, well. I would like to re-screen that movie for him, with me and my folks pointing out that all that stuff really did happen (and some of it has come back again).

[walldude]

63. Frequency is another one.. Quaid is playing the President in the new movie

American Dreamz. He portray's him as a complete idiot who is trying to get smarter. The first time you see him he is, to the shock of his staff, asking for a newspaper. Willem DaFoe plays the Karl Rove character who gives the president his speeches through a wireless ear piece. The movie was pretty lame but some of the stuff with Quaid and DaFoe was pretty funny.

Also Leslie Neilson rips Bush in Scary Movie 4. Nails him on the 7 minutes.

[FormerDittoHead]

16. I don't blame him for saying so...

OK, big step back...

He's got a big-ass career in Hollywood. LOTS of people depend upon him...

If he said something critical of Bush NOW, then his portrayal of "Bush" in this new film would be characterized as some slap in the face to all of the Red States, the troops, their Moms, apple pie and Jesus:

American Dreamz would be "blacklisted" by all of the "Red" states via their talk and country radio stations. Boycotts would be formed, and they'd be waiting for the DVDs to come out just to burn them like they burned Beatle records...

So I look at this poster, see what the movie's about.

To make a movie like this, I'll let the guy backpeddle a little...

[renate]

31. I agree

If Robert De Niro had said "I think Clinton is scum for having an affair" while doing publicity for "Wag the Dog," the vibe of the movie would have been changed completely. So if Dennis Quaid can admit to having voted for * in 2004--which must be pretty embarrassing--I bet he's doing it for a reason.

I hadn't seen that poster before--now I really can't wait to see the movie!

[bunkerbuster1]

72. Kickin' this post.

Read, people.

It's a Nixon-in-China thing.

[seaglass]

19. Wow. I really like Dennis Quaid. But his politics suck. n/t

[niyad]

20. and to think I used to like this guy.

[FormerDittoHead]

21. Seriously. Will you take a PEEK at the film he just made?

If he was so pro-Bush, would he have MADE this film in the first place?

[Buddyblazon]

30. After sitting back and thinking about it...

for the sake of the movie, he is smart in coming out and saying he voted for Bush.

I mean, c'mon. He couldn't actually have voted for Gore in '00 and turned around and voted for the shrub in '04.

He would literally (well almost) be the only person who did that.

And by saying that he voted for shrub, then he doesn't alienate all those people that did.

[Orangepeel]

62. actually, a lot of people did that

Gore beat bush by a lot more than Kerry did.

I don't know why they would, but they did, stupidly. PTSD from 9/11, buying into the swiftboat smears, not wanting a "foreign" first lady, whatever :shrug:

[niyad]

37. this thread is the first I have heard about this movie--and since I live

in an extreme fundieville, doubt very seriously it would be shown here.

[seabeyond]

40. ya... i just saw hiim on jon stewart. told hubby i wanted go to theater

this weekend to see this movie. looked sooooo funny. and all bashing bush from what i saw.

[tridim]

22. Didn't he have a serious coke problem recently?

I really couldn't care less, but it might help explain his Bush admiration and vote.

[Mr_Spock]

23. Well, that's it for him - another ass wipe I won't be able to watch

..any more...

Added to the list:

Tom Cruise
Mel Gibson
Dennis Quaid

[itzamirakul]

33. Asswipes that I don't watch...period

Tom Cruise
Russell Crowe
Dennis Quaid

Somebody beat me to the punch in asking: "Who the hell is Dennis Quaid?"

[AzDar]

25. Interesting. Starred in 'The Big Easy', and voted for the man who

helped destroy it.

[rinsd]

26. I don't care, I may still see his latest.

He is starring in a movie that lampoons Bush with him playing a Bush like President who is so out of touch (his inspiration to get back with the people is reading a newspaper for the first time), that his chief of staff (played as a Rovian villian) has him become a judge on an American Idol-type show.

[Imagevision]

27. Quaid! you're a has been - this should do wonders for...your career??

oops, I forgot you don't have one!

[mondo joe]

28. I don't know how someone who had such great abs could vote

so poorly. :-(

[medeak]

29. Meg Ryan this week admitted he was a cheat

when asked if Quaid had cheated on her she mouthed "yes yes yes yes" as in many many times.

sounds like a freep to me!

Husband and I watched him on Leno last week... and even husband said "what an idiot"

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

32. Didn't she cheat on him, with Russel Crowe? We'd have to take someone's

word for who was the first or bigger offender... Of course, being a billion times more adorable, it'd be hard not to take Meg's word, but still...

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

47. She also stood by him for many years when he was going through very bad

drug addiction. Sometimes, you just have had enough. Having an affair is often a way to end a relationship.

[bliss_eternal]

56. No one knew it--

but when our MEDIA was reporting that she was cheating on Quaid, in actuality they were seperated. A fact they did not reveal (prior to media speculation of an affair) because they wanted to deal with it privately for the sake of their son, who was not aware his parents were seperating.

Leave it to the media and the paparazzi to put the word out for everyone, 'eh? :hi:

[smoochpooch]

38. I can excuse those who voted for him in '00,

some fell for the compassionate conservative. But there's no excuse for 04.

[seabeyond]

39. hey, ... i just saw him on jon stewart and he has a new movie out bashing

bush all over the place from the sounds of it????

i am so confused. stewart and quaid had a lot of laughs over bushie boy

[IChing]

43. Me too, I thought he sorta did a great job on defining his role in

his new movie with Jon. He came to Hollywood via Texas.

Randi Rhodes voted for Reagan don't forget.

[etherealtruth]

52. Me too ...

The clips Stewart showed were not exactly flattering to the Chimp (nor was Quaid's portrayal of him) ...:crazy:

[Gloria]

41. May he forever be confined to remakes of The Parent Trap

for all eternity....

I liked the guy, but I now have to seriously reevaluate....

[mykpart]

42. Yeah, but he was probably stoned at the time!

Rush got him some good dope, and he felt obligated!

[fujiyama]

44. He was pretty funny

on the Daily Show today, but up until now, something about him made me think he was a conservative...

He sounds like he's dumb as a bag of rocks like the character he plays in the film, but atleast he has a sense of humor.

But voting for Bush in '04, really makes me respect them considerably less...

[SaveElmer]

49. Jeez...who cares...he's an Actor!!!

If I hated everyone that voted for Bush I'd have to disown half my family!!

[mdmc]

50. what an awful way to hype up your flick

I will never pay to watch you.

[AlCzervik]

51. i guess thats why he looked so clinchy and out of place at the Independent

spirit awards a few years back when Michael Moore was there and many of the actors were making pleas about bringing the troops home.

[Imagevision]

54. umm, so what?!! - and there were some actors who voted for Kerry

geeeeessshhhh....!

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

57. Maybe he feels some comraderie w/ *...after all, they both did coke...

:rofl:

[Appalachian_American]

65. I sort of agree with you, but at the same time think about those

outspoken lefty entertainers that just catch continuous hell from the right...Alec Baldwin, Barbra Streisand, Susan Sarandon, Michael Moore, Tim Robbins...I think it is the duty of the left to give hell to the bush-loving entertainers...I wonder if Dennis has spent much time in Iraq visiting the troops?

[DanCa]

61. We got the Boss on our side.

Who cares what this ham and egger thinks?

[otohara]

64. Didn't He Marry A Texan Gal

and now he's living in Texas on a big ass ranch? Now he's a Texan and must vote for Bush, so they don't kick his Hollywood ass.

He was cooler when he was married to Meg Ryan.

[raysr]

66. These pricks can never

get enough money.

[dennis4868]

67. Thank you Mr. Quaid.....

for supporting death, destruction and high crimes and misdemeanors! :-(

[DS1]

70. BURN ALL HIS MOVIES! BURN ALL HIS POSTERS! TAKE EM OUT AND BURN EM

:sarcasm:

Get a grip, people.

[stanwyck]

71. Damn. That's a deal breaker for me

I wish I was able to overlook a person's politics. But, these days, I have to agree with Janeane Garafolo: being a Republican these days is a character flaw. The future of our country is just too important. There's too much on the line. And we're in very precarious times...for the environment. Women's rights. World peace. This insanity in Iraq. The plight of the middle-class. Healthcare.
So. It's sad when one of your crushes turns out to be a Bushie.
I was also disillusioned when I found out Gary Sinise and Robert Duvall are Republicans.
The other Repuke celebs aren't worth the heartache.
I mean, are there really liberal women who don't fantasize about Bruce Willis anymore? Cause we never did in the first place.

[terrya]

73. I'm not going to throw away my copy of "Far From Heaven"

Dennis Quaid has done some terrific films..."Far From Heaven" being but one.

His politics are regrettable, but I'm not going to piss on his films.
