I wrote a small piece several years ago “outing” celebs who leaned to the right. I felt a need to do so as a sort of remedy to the throngs of famous liberals who were making Hollywood and the entertainment industry in general look like an extension of the Communist Party. In the time that has followed the site has gotten a tremendous amount of traffic for related terms – leading me to believe that there is a lack of online resources on this topic. And when I see a niche I usually dive right in.
This post, which will be updated when necessary, will strive to become a comprehensive resource for all things related to Republican Celebrities. I will start with a list of names and then fill in more detail as time and research allows. Why am I doing this? Because I want to even the scales a little bit. As a pop culture nerd, movie nut and music whackadoo it pains me to constantly be bombarded with opinions from the entertainment industry’s left that may contradict my own. The fact is there are a lot of uber-famous folks who aren’t complete moonbats, and that comforts me – as it might you. On to the “outing”. And obviously, some of these aren’t going to come as a huge shock.

…and now you know why 90% of these people haven’t worked in years.
mike
marie osmond, dean cain? i think there may be another reason they haven’t worked recently. don’t get me wrong Lois and Clark had its moments. interesting list nonetheless.
jake
well some weren’t a suprise at all (ex;ted nugent, ben stein, chuck norris, etc…) but jim Carey, Bruce willis, and alive cooper suprised a bit but only a bit cuz I kinda figured as much
Sandy
Did they not vote this election? If they would have McCain/ Palin would be in the White House. They’d have the recession cleaned up 100% by now.
Jacob
Billy Ray Cyrus and Kid Rock should be on this list. They are also conservatives.
Jacob
oh sorry Kid Rock is on here but still, you need to add Billy Ray Cyrus now
Frank
Your “They haven’t worked in years” statement is retarded…
Why haven’t they worked in years?!
BECAUSE THESE PEOPLE ARE CELEBRITIES!
The mass work, the Celebrities don’t.
Thats why most celebrities are democrats!
Dave
I’m so retarded I pee myself.
zucccchini
I think its great that someone has bothered to make a list of these people although hopefully it does not further effect their livelihood. This sort of censorship has been going on since the thirties. But most of these conservatives have been conservative in voicing their politics, not for fear of joblessness but because they are conservative. One would assume you can only blame those that run this industry. The liberal celebrities, on the other hand, are usually very vociferous and one would wonder why these people should have any credence. Most of them get their celebrity status from living in a fantasy world. Their entire life is seeped in fantasy and illusion, being someone else., living some make belief persons life. How odd that their opinions should impress anyone but their own kind who also live in a world of illusion and fantasy.
barbara
These people haven’t worked in years?! You’re an idiot. For starters, the man top of your list, Mr. Eastwood, has had a long and eventful and CURRENT career. His movies have won countless awards as well.
Dave
Barbara – It’s called a joke, and you’re obviously a moonbat.
Autumn
To Barbara~Clint Eastwood and many of the others on this list who ARE getting work used their own money from the early part in their careers to become producers (the money people who provide jobs, and therefore, give themselves the best roles). If they put out a good product, nobody in Hollywood can do anything about it bc they are ones who paid for it.
Birdman
Two more that are not here on this list. Patricia Heaton (Everybody loves Raymond), and Karl Malone.
Birdman
I see Karl Malone, never mind, but not Patricia Heaton.
Dave
Patricia has been added. Thanks, Birdman.
Matt Mecham
I was of the understanding that Jim Carrey was a big ol’ liberal puke, but I may have gotten some misinformation.
Lex
I can’t believe 50 Cent is a Republican. That’s just funny since Eminem is such an outspoken Liberal Democrat.
Bekah
The reason why no one really knows who the republicans are in hollywood is because conservatives arent annoying and in your face about their politics and beliefs! They donate and vote for things they believe in, but don’t go all over the media bragging about it and insulting those who believe differently.
Jenna
Well I will definatly be more supportive of these stars, even if they make a bad movie haha!!! Thanks for the list!
anders petersen
the reason that you dont know who the conservatives in hollywood are
is that if they did disclose their disgusting political views they would be rightly shunned as the facist pigs they really are. By the way it is striking how poorly you rightwingers spell, but I guess that comes with the territory of being born in a barn and being the illlegitimate child of your older sisters. You are the reason why America is on a path to ceratin demise
john
No, most conservatives CAN spell and currently it’s the libs that are running this beautiful country into the ground!!!
Sky Captain
@Sandy: Considering that the GOP destroyed America’s economy (and got you to blame it on the black guy), you might want to rethink that piece of bull that you just said.
@john: As with Sandy, so with you.
Margaret
Re: anders petersen.
Part of the problem is the way you chose to respond. Is that kind of language called for? Some people have a difference in opinion on how to handle situations, but we all have a common goal of health, happiness and prosperity. I’m sure your attitude does not reflect those of liberals, but it’s that kind of talk that hinders any sort of resolution. You’re doing a disservice to liberals and to conservatives. It doesn’t help you, it doesn’t help me. It helps no one. It gets us nowhere.
BigSoph
Hey Anders; re: “By the way it is striking how poorly you rightwingers spell”
The fact that you, a judgmental, condescending liberal, misspell the following words, what’s your excuse?
dont = don’t
facist = fascist
illlegitimate = illegitimate
ceratin = certain
You are quick to call others fascist (see, I actually can spell it) but you obviously have no idea what the actual tenets of fascism are. They are statist and collectivist, like you. They seek to suborn the interests of the individual to the interests of the state, as the ‘public’
Also, Sky Captain, Bush did indeed run up the deficit and many conservatives take great issue with his expansion of powers of the state. But he ran up deficits of $300 billion, the ‘black guy’ has run up a greater deficit in the the last year than Bush did in his entire second term!
The ‘black guy’s’ party was also the one that set up the CRA, forcing banks to give out loans to subprime candidates but also set up Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to ensure them that the loans would be covered.
Do you understand this? They forced the banks to give out loans to people who could not it back and would be fined if they refused them. But, if they gave out the loan, they would have the money covered.

@BigSoph
All I can say is, WORD. It always makes me feel warm and fuzzy when liberals spew untruths and then get shot down with common sense and actual facts. Those liberals say the darndest things, don’t they? They slay me.
Stu
Don’t forget about Wilt “The Stilt” Chamberlain…actually his support of Nixon and the Republican party was much of what fueled of the feud between he and teammate Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Jabbar was quoted calling Chamberlain a “sellout on the black race” for supporting the Republican Party. Typical ad-hominem attack from a lefty, can’t attack the ideology, so attack the man.
Steve
I also heard that Rock drummer Neil Peart of RUSH is conservative
Lee
Liberals always pull the “race” card. They say that all conservatives are racist against african americans. However, conservatives have african americans on their side too, such as Herman Cain. Also, conservatives have famous african american supporters such as Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, 50 Cent, and LL Cool J. Liberals think they are superior to everyone, and make up facts when they cannot win an argument otherwise.
Laura
Don’t forget Jane Russell got rest her soul she was a very outspoken conservative, and my favorite Gary Sinise is not listed and he does tons for our military he she be #1 on the list. I don’t think I saw Trace Atkins either.
anon
Though Arnold Schwarzenegger was a republican, he was far from conservative. This list needs some heavy revisions.
Bobbie
Are you sure Johnny Mathis is a republican? he is gay and black. It does not make sense, Republicans are racist and homophobic. Then again he must have self hate like some many gay guys do
greggie
bobbie. racist and homophobic? really? any proof or just more senseless drivel from an entitlement geek liberal. you guys spew this nonsense without any proof whatsoever. it makes you look stupid. look what the left did to herman cain. that was racist. now homophobic means scared of homosexuals. i am not SCARED of homosexuals. i do however think its disgusting an abnormal, but i dont go around trying to convince people of this. its my opinion. if it was normal and we all suddenly turned homo then quite soon the human race would become extinct. thats my main piece of logical thought on that. now im not racist either but liberals try and try to bash the theory of God and believe in evolution, so have you seen that little illustration that shows evovlement of mab? the one where it shows step by step how humans gradually came to look like we do now? well do you think a black and white person stand equally on that chart? or….. you get the message… i mean libs push us to believe that stuff and if we do and use logic and facts then we are called all sorts of vie despicable names.. you knuckleheads cant have it both ways…
greggie
a couple of grammatical errors in there due to typing quickly.. but you get the message… im sure i will be called a retarded idiot for a couple of typing errors. thats what libs do after all!
Wayne
Never does it fail. Every single time, they prove my point. Liberals can NOT stand on rock solid foundations of legitimate arguments, political or not. They always have to resort to personnel attacks, name calling, race card, why u ask? Because when dust settles, liberals are complete fakes. Nowhere on any subject can a liberal win an argument without fear and smear tactics, simply because it’s an artificial group of transparent people who cry and whine because they feel like they are being handed the short end of the stick in life. These people are ALWAYS lost, Godless, haughty,senseless folks. I pray for and love them, but it’s a fact that the whole movement can never effectively discuss issues with true conservative folk. I don’t understand what’s so difficult about opening ur eyes and seeing something for what it really is, and accepting it. Life is so good when u finally realize it’s not all about you, and the freedom you receive by not having to lie to yourself to have things make sense. Wake up dumb libby’s
TheDuck
greggie… greggie… calm down me boyo. I did no actual calculations but it seemed to me that many of those listed earn decent livings… of course… many of them are dead and no longer earn anything other than further fame.
Frankly, it seems like an imaginary issue. Many of these people I have known to be conservative and they continue to be favorites of mine… in entertainment… not politics… Eastwood… Duval… Oldman… Lynch… Hopper… and others. So… your point is what?
Now… you wanna talk Nugent and his ilk… that is another story and not really people than even conservatives should want to rally around.
TheDuck
hmmm… looks like I stumbled into a welcoming realm of discourse.

Gloria Estefan is not a conservative, but a liberal. She hosted in her home in Miami Beach a campaign party to get funds for Barack Hussein Obama. Her husband Emilio Estefan is also an Obama lover, or supporter I should say.
