Widder, SASS #59054 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Fox News reported this morning that it 'appears' that Clint Eastwood would speak at the Rep.Natl.Conv. tonight. No, this post ain't meant to be political although it will be conceived as such. BUT, I watch BOTH conventions and try to hear their speakers, espcially those who I've supported over the years with my movie money. Should be interesting, if true! ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah Bob #35998 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Holy Crap. I just typed a long post that upon review was pretty political. And it would have p****d off a bunch of people.

Long Branch Louie Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Coolest thing about Clint is that he has been around long enough, and is powerful enough, that it doesn't matter what anybody thinks about what he decides to do... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madd Mike #8595 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 With all due respect, we are not electing Clint Eastwood in this election cycle But I do not see anything wrong with Clint Eastwood standing OUT, of the Hollyweird crowd and doing this On August 3, Clint Eastwood came out in support of Mitt Romney when he made an appearance at an Idaho fundraiser for the presumptive GOP nominee. The Oscar-winning director said he is supporting Romney this November "because I think the country needs a boost somewhere." While Eastwood also endorsed Republican in 2008, lending his support to Sen. John McCain in his bid for the White House and even campaigning for him, his position the 2012 race hasn't always been clear. After a cameo in a Super Bowl ad about the revival of the auto industry this February, where he uttered the instantly famous line, "It's halftime, America," Eastwood was forced to clarify that he was not in fact supporting Obama's re-election campaign.

stepnmud#33546 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Mr. Eastwood made a soft spoken comment about he and his family were Libertarian on a recent show about the Eastwoods. Seems like that's more like his style and may seem like flip/flopping, but he can certainly make up his own mind about politics and more power to him. Libertarian may refer to: A proponent of libertarianism, a political philosophy that upholds individual liberty, especially freedom of expression and action Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madd Mike #8595 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 wow Won’t the fact that Mr Eastwood is more of an independent Wont that fact, help lead other independents into thinking long and hard with regards to nov 6 voteing. Can’t we think outside of ourselves, and agree that, the mere fact of a fellow like Mr Eastwood will help our cause in the long run, providing they can sway a few more very important votes towards a candidate, better suited towards the 2nd amendment etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Woodrow Cahill, SASS # 54363 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I read where the planned surprise speaker was going to be Ronald Reagan.

"Pop" Dawson Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Missed the speech but the CBS libs are describing it as sad and weird disaster, what happened? Well, I watched his speech and I thought he did well, so did the delegates, they were on their feet and laughing so hard it hurt and clapping so hard he was drowned out many times. What was sad was to see that Clint has gotten as old as most of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowboy Junky Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I'm just glad to see someone from Hollywood with enough backbone to speak his mind. Like it or not your political views in Hollywood can cost you your career or at least some opportunities.........just ask Lee Ermy. He was fired by a damn lizard!
