In reply to the discussion: Sarah Palin: 'Screw The Hollywood Left' [View all]bulloney
(4,113 posts)10. Funny how simpletons like Palin equate Hollywood with liberal politics.
I can name more Republican actors who later held a political career than she can name Democrats who did the same:
Charlton Heston
Arnold Schwarznegger
Ronald Reagan
Fred Grandy
Fred Thompson
The only Democrat I can think of in that category is Al Franken.
If you expand the field to ex-sports celebrities, the Repubs have a lock on that category, too:
Steve Largent
Clint Eastwood
Jim Bunning
JC Watts
Jack Kemp
Tom Osborne
