[LiberalElite]

1. I only know 4 of those names -

(I stopped paying attention years ago.)

[mvd]

4. It's from listening to a lot of music and paying attention to current TV and movies

I'm certainly not a teen anymore but the crushes still come Better enjoy now because will likely be very limited when I get older.

[LiberalElite]

5. I dropped out around the time of

Madonna's Material Girl. I barely listen to ANY music now but some of it gets through- e.g., "Call Me Maybe."

[mvd]

9. Yes I love that song

Carly's new album Emotion is even better throughout. Maybe I should have posted wiki links with the names. Anyone know most or all of my names?

[Tommy_Carcetti]

12. I still have a crush on Zooey Deschanel, but her character on New Girl has gotten kind of annoying.

Just a little too flaky.

The entire show has gone downhill significantly, actually. Which is a shame, because it was really funny in the first season or two.

[applegrove]

2. I love Robert Redford in All the President's Men or anything really.

Just gave my copy of that film away.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

3. I like

Jamie Dornan from The Fall (I know he is in that darn Fifty Shades movie, but I have never seen that). He is very good looking with a beard. The other one that comes to mind is Ian Somerhalder from Vampire Diaries. I can't think of any others right now.

[IcyPeas]

6. Clive Owen since The Knick

I've seen him in other things, but he is really impressing me in this.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

14. I am digging -

Andre Holland in that show -- very handsome in the period clothes.

[Skittles]

7. still loving me some Chiwetel

yes INDEED

[alcina]

29. He is awesome! /eom

[Skittles]

38. I first noticed him in Children of Men

that intense look, that voice, and what a FINE actor

[alcina]

42. He has such an amazing range

I first saw him in Kinky Boots and then a short time later in Serenity. I couldn't believe it was the same actor, so I looked up some of his other work. Just amazing. And so very good looking.

[TexasBushwhacker]

43. If you haven't seen "Dirty Pretty Things" you must! n/t

[alcina]

46. I started watching it

But it made me extremely sad, so I gave up part way through. But I do intend to try again. Thanks for the reminder.

[Chan790]

8. I only really have one crush...

and it's not a new one.

I think blogger and sex educator Laci Green is smart and sexy. (Brainy is a turn-on for me.)

[sharp_stick]

10. Well I can think of two right off the bat

From American Horror Story - Asylum

The evil possessed nun Sister Mary Eunice played by Lily Rabe


From the ATT Wireless ads (yeah I know it's an ad)
Lily Adams played by Milana Vayntrub

[Tommy_Carcetti]

22. Lily Rabe was back on AHS this week.

Getting the Charlize Theron treatment as Aileen Wournos.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

11. Actress Analeigh Tipton

She had a smaller role in a silly but enjoyable movie called "Warm Bodies" as the friend of the female lead character. (She was also a contestant in America's Next Top Model and had a brief cameo appearance in The Big Bang Theory as herself). I'm not exactly why she caught my attention in that movie, but she did. Had a crush on her ever since.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

13. Did you catch her in --

"Crazy, Stupid, Love"? Quite a large role and very good in it.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

17. Yeah, I saw that after Warm Bodies.

Definitely added to her mystique.

[frogmarch]

15. I’m too old for movie star crushes, but when

I was a kid in the 50s, these three were my favorite heart throbs. Turns out, even as a kid I had good taste and knew how to spot a good liberal.

Robert Ryan

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burt_Lancaster

Ryan was a liberal Democrat who tirelessly supported civil rights issues...

Burt Lancaster

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burt_Lancaster#Personal_life

Lancaster was a vocal supporter of liberal political causes, and frequently spoke out in support of racial minorities, including at the March on Washington in 1963. He was a vocal opponent of the Vietnam War...

Richard Widmark

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Widmark#Personal_life_and_death

Despite having spent most of his career appearing countless times in gun-toting roles such as cowboys, policemen, gangsters and military men, Widmark actually loathed real-life gunplay, and he got involved in several gun-control initiatives and drives. In 1976, he famously stated:

"I know I've made kind of a half-assed career out of violence, but I abhor violence. I am an ardent supporter of gun control. It seems incredible to me that the United States are the only civilized nation that does not put some effective control on guns."

Widmark described himself as “a passionate liberal Democrat.”

L-R: Robert Ryan, Burt Lancaster, Richard Widmark

[IrishEyes]

18. I agree with your choices.

I grew up on old movies. I liked all three of these actors. I knew Burt Lancaster and Robert Ryan were liberals. I didn't know about Richard Widmark. I'm glad to hear this.

[Xipe Totec]

16. Singer - Jackie Evancho

Celestial does not begin to describe her.

[BlueJazz]

19. Ruth Wilson: IQ of 155 I fucking melt every time I think of her

[hibbing]

20. Scarlett Johansson

I'm straight, but for some reason I have a man crush on Toby Maguire.

Peace

[Tommy_Carcetti]

21. My current straight guy man crush:

Newly elected Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

I have to tip my hat to the guy. That is one good looking dude. Plus he's got a perfect looking family to boot.



They're like that family in the picture that comes with the picture frame you buy at the store before you take it out and put in your own, less appealing looking family picture.

Damn it Trudeau family! Stop looking so good!

[NewJeffCT]

24. his wife is gorgeous as well

I think I like her now, too.

[mvd]

30. I was so happy about that!

Canada finally rid of Harper. And a good liberal replaced him..

[Manifestor_of_Light]

55. His daddy Pierre was quite dashing back in his day.

And his momma was a much younger party girl.

[NewJeffCT]

23. After seeing her in Supergirl

I've developed a strong crush on Melissa Benoist. If she's anything like her Kara Danvers quirky/nerdy personality in real life, it would be

[Tommy_Carcetti]

25. Nice post, Jeb Bush.

[NewJeffCT]

26. I never said I liked her because she's HOT

like Jeb did. There are plenty of beautiful women in Hollywood (and elsewhere) - I just loved her personality and energy in the role.

[mvd]

31. True

To me, personality is just as important as looks for a crush. For a girlfriend or wife, personality would actually be more important.

[NewJeffCT]

34. for me

I was painfully shy in middle school, high school and through most of college and also kind of laid back, so I have always been drawn to girls, and then women, that had outgoing and energetic personalities.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

32. I will say....

....that the guy from Whiplash was a fool for blowing her off just because he felt he had to focus more on being verbally abused by JK Simmons--I mean drumming.

Dumb move, dude.

[olddots]

27. Julian Moore

for her I would leave my happy home ( not really but maybe ) .

[RandySF]

28. Ayesh Dharker

[LynneSin]

33. My crushes have been pretty consistent

to the point that posting it would be pretty useless since I think it's pretty darn obvious.

[libodem]

35. Nothing new

I'll take Sam.

[img][/img]

[TexasBushwhacker]

44. I have a thing for voices

Sam Elliot, Clive Owen and Alan Rickman are probably my favorites.

Liam Neeson is sex on the hoof, and age appropriate! (for me)

I had a totally NOT age appropriate crush on James Franco after seeing 127 Hours. Now my crush is on Joseph Gordon Levitt.

[Prism]

36. Ooh

Actual crushes:

Cheyenne Jackson
Taye Diggs
Jay Sario and Edmond Newton (Project Runway contestants)
Josh Dallas
Jay Hernandez
Daniel Craig
Randall Park
Evan Peters
Patrick Wilson


Women I would pretend to be straight for:

Jennifer Lawrence (she's hilarious)
Anna Kendrick
Angela Bassett
Angelina Jolie
Constance Wu
Laverne Cox
Jennifer Garner

[ghostsinthemachine]

37. (Man crush) the Sonic Guy.

The smart one.

[KamaAina]

39. You can have Kaley. I dumped her when she started bashing feminists.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10026022874

[mvd]

40. I saw that. She really isn't very political though

If she was, and also is a Repuke (a possibility as her family is conservative), it would be harder to have a crush. I'll keep her on unless she becomes more involved the wrong way. As is, many of the above crushes are Democrats or liberals. Jeb would be disappointed if he looked at who Melissa Benoist is following on Twitter.

[wyldwolf]

41. Demi Lovato

Feel like a dirty old man but DAYUM!!!

[Joe Shlabotnik]

45. Mine are pretty low on the celebrity scale, and they're both singers

Vanja Lo (that soul, that attitude; my kind of girl!)

and, Lily Frost (ohh my!)

[DFW]

47. I don't know to what extent she can be considered a celebrity, but this is my main crush:

[geardaddy]

51. ...

[Liberal Veteran]

48. Matt Bomer and Stephen Amell

Matt is so pretty he defies words. And that jawline....swoon.



Stephen Amell from Arrow is just hot.

[NewJeffCT]

52. A lot of the time

as a straight guy, I will see a guy and don't understand what the fuss is all about, or why so many women like the guy. With Stephen Amell, I can definitely see the appeal.

[mvd]

49. Although my list is not meant to be complete..

I have had a crush on Andrea Corr for a long time, so she should be there.

Alyssa Milano was one of my earliest crushes and is still there. Molly Ringwald was very early. Other early ones were Debbie Gibson, Tiffany, Michelle Thomas (sadly died young), Katie Holmes (got kind of weird). It's interesting to see how the list has changed since I was a teen.

[mvd]

53. Ok one more

Just discovered Emily Kinney from iTunes last night - not sure about the music, but she is cute and adorable. Good crush type

[Gidney N Cloyd]

50. Nicole Curtis, "The Rehab Addict"

[shanti]

54. not really "crushes" because they are around my sons' ages, but i do think they're hawt

#1 POLDARK!!! or rather, Aidan Turner - yowza!



Adrian Grenier
Jason Momoa
Jake Gyllenhall
Chris and Liam Hemsworth

and ya just gotta love some George Clooney and Johnny Depp!

[Aerows]

56. Lana Parrilla

The Evil Queen.

The *REALLY EVIL QUEEN*

Advocates for LGBT civil rights.
