Entertainers perhaps for Kerry..but Athletes for Bush?..Hmm.

[Headache in a Suitcase]

you forgot a couple...

not that it matters, but it is interesting that celebrities (movie stars, musicians, etc.) tend to lean to the left, but athletes tend to lean to the right... yet ironicly, the two most famous former movie stars turned politicians are both republicans, and the most famous former athlete turned politician is a democrat go figure

headache,
who's the first guy in your post?

[MrsSpringsteen]

The first guy is A Fraud

And I don't see where that msg board really has anything concrete about Curt's political views, but I admit I only had time to quickly skim it.

I did like that letter he wrote

OK, if he is Republican that's one Republican I definitely think is sexy

 

[nbcrusader]

It's very interesting. I feel sorry for anyone who decides who to vote for based on who their favorite celebrity endorses . hopefully there aren't many people like that out there.

I bet there are a few attending Bruce Springsteen concerts....

Not really..at the concerts I went to on his last tour, he was often booed by quite a few people for any anti-Bush statements. Also on Bruce msg boards, there are many Bush supporting fans who criticize him .

And at the one VFC concert I attended, most people there were already Kerry supporters anyway, so it didn't matter .

and who is "A. Fraud" anyway?

Carlos Beltran

Ernie Banks

Not being American, I have no idea who 95% of the others are.



Diamond, don't let this stop you from posting pics of hottie athletes though, I wouldn't want that.

I haven't seen any proof as to any outspoken support for any canidate, just random meaningless pictures.

If I could I'd give this thread a quarter of a star.

That's understandable BVS, based on your mindset and your location as so aptly put on the left side of your posting profile page i.e.- "Location: in a state of denial"


Here is a letter that was sent to me:

Thanks,

Open letter signed by 24 Olympians and Professional Athletes]

To our fellow Americans:

We have given much thought to the values and characteristics that make a great athlete. Our lives have been spent trying to run farther, push further, and jump higher than the person beside us, or across the field of our chosen sport. With years of training and exhaustive competition beneath our belts, we have identified the values necessary to compete and win--values like personal strength, determination, a sense of fair play and faith.

The same qualities that make a great athlete make a great President--the determination to do what is right, regardless of the latest polls, the personal strength to bear the weight of the nation on your shoulders, and the faith that a higher power will direct the actions of good people.

We see in President Bush these same qualities.

In 2001, our nation was attacked without cause or provocation. The President's values saw us through those dark days after the terrorist attack. The economy was rocked by the dual blows of the terrorists' cowardly action and the reckless disregard of the rules by a few rogue executives. But President Bush's decisive, principled leadership has moved America forward, and today our nation is safer and our economy is strong and getting stronger.

The fight against terrorism takes decisiveness. It takes continued support for our troops and first responders. But most importantly, it takes courage and inspirational leadership in the White House. In these critical times, our President has had the courage to stand up and do what's right.

For that and for his unwavering character, we choose George W. Bush as our President for the next four years. He is a leader we can depend on to make the tough decisions and the right decisions. Please join us in supporting a candidate of courage, President Bush--a leader who backs our troops defending our nation and shares our values.

[BVS]

You see the letter makes more since. But I guess if you posted that first you wouldn't have had all the fun posting pics. I'll bump it up to one star.

But just like Chuck D, it don't mean shit to me.

 

[diamond]

haha

 

[BAW]

I hope Kerry Strug told them to spell her name right before she signed that letter

 

[diamond]

that's my fault, i mispelled some names from the email.

 

[kobayashi]

dont forget alexander wozneiwski of poland.

 

[BAW]

Not to worry...I spelled her first name wrong when I pointed out that her last name was misspelled!

For Gina..

CONCORD, N.H. - Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling, who urged people to vote for President Bush on a national television show Thursday, will appear with the president on Friday in New Hampshire, a campaign spokeswoman said.




At the end of his interview about his team's World Series victory on ABC's "Good Morning America," Schilling signed off: "Tell everybody to vote. And vote Bush next week."

The president congratulated the Red Sox' owner and president by phone — and thanked Schilling for his support.

Schilling won Game Two of the World Series and Game Six of the American League Championship series despite a torn tendon sheath in his right ankle that will require surgery.

He is scheduled to appear with Bush at rallies in Manchester and Portsmouth on Friday, campaign spokeswoman Maria Comella said.

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

I still love him

I could have gotten tickets to that, but Bush will be there, so.. and I the only loyalty oath I'll sign is to Curt

 

[verte76]

I like him, too. Who he wants to vote for is his business.

smart man

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

He's not doing it, his doctors advised him not to

Or maybe he just came to his senses

I liked how his wife groaned and turned away when he said "vote Bush " on GMA

smart woman.

[verte76]

Man, if I'd gone through the stress of pitching in a World Series game my doc would probably tell me not to do it too. Happy smelling the roses, Curt.

 

[edgeu22]

"Many of the people lining up Friday morning for Bush's rally said they were more excited to see Schilling than the president. That includes Republican Congressman Jeb Bradley, who was wearing a Red Sox cap and said he hoped Schilling would sign it.
