even Andy Griffith is on board!

[President Jesus]

C'mon Andy...deliver Mayberry!

See the ultimate "Who's Who" list of Kerry / Bush campaign contributors at http://www.newsmeat.com

[dolstein]

1. He's a long time Democrat

They should have him cut some radio ads for North Carolina.

[spooky3]

2. great idea!

[President Jesus]

5. and he should make TV ads as Matlock!

that would sew up the over 75 vote!

[Medium Baby Jesus]

44. Hell, even Abe Simpson might vote for Kerry! n/t

[wtmusic]

3. Aunt Bea would have disapproved

She'd have been a Bushie all the way (RIP)

[roguevalley]

10. aunt bea was a lesbian. I don't think * could count on Spring Byington's

vote.

[elperromagico]

14. Wasn't Aunt Bea played by Frances Bavier? n/t

[wtmusic]

17. Yes -- was she gay? n/t

[elperromagico]

20. No idea, but her English accent was a fake. She was from the Bronx,

IIRC. :P

[faithnotgreed]

23. what english accent!? maybe it was the highlands of nc

thing but i dont recall any english accent! now malcolm did of course but he is the only one i remember on the show with an accent like that though he was only in a couple episodes

[TexasSissy]

31. She didn't have an English accent, if you mean British.

[elperromagico]

43. What do you call that, a Bronx accent?

:D

[Jacobin]

46. It was a fairly common accent in parts of the south

now dying out.

We don't all say y'all, fixin' ta, etc.

Try New Orleans. There must be at least 15 extremely distinct accents in different parts of the city, not counting minority accents.

[elperromagico]

47. I live in the South, thank you.

And she used that accent in interviews as well. It was not just for the show. :D

[TexasSissy]

53. What accent? I'm from the south, and she didn't have a southern

accent. Some characters in the sitcom did, but not Aunt Bea. She sounded sort of midwestern to me....a place that is pretty neutral, accent wise. Andy Griffith had a southern accent (his natural accent). Barney did not. Otis did not. Ernest T DEFINITELY did, but that was acting; he's not southern.

[calico1]

29. Spring Byington played Larry Hagman's

mom on "I Dream Of Jeannie." Frances Bavier played Aunt Bee.

[President Jesus]

35. oh yeah...Larry Hagman's also on board!

http://www.newsmeat.com/fec/bystate_detail.php?st=CA&last=Hagman&first=Larry

[TexasSissy]

30. Oh, come on.

[chimpy the poopthrower]

51. Nope. Aunt Bea is just like my Mom.

And my Mom is a Dem through and through. :)

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

4. I KNEW I liked him for good reason!

Has anyone ever heard his OLD comedy routines, like "What it Was Was Football?"

The guy is great.

[snowbear]

6. :o)

I love the old b&w Andy Griffith shows! :) (but I disagree.. I think Aunt Bea was too sweet to be a Republican)

The only Repub would have been Howard Spraig (sp?) I think! ;)

[faithnotgreed]

21. i love andy griffith show. howard and helen would have been fighting

arguing for sure over politics. she would definitely have been kerry all the way. and howard was nice and quite rational so i know he wouldnt have supported bush though i do think he would be republican.

listen to us, speculating on characters and who they would support!

[Spirochete]

7. Otis supports Bush, though.

It's the common ground, due to that town drunk thing...

[snowbear]

8. hahahaha

Otis!

Then again, he'd vote for his goat over Bush too..

[roguevalley]

9. this is so amusing. the kerry list has law abiding people obviously. the

bush list has indicted and convicted felons and people who only supported him in 2000.

* only in 2000

[Longhorn]

12. You forgot Poland!

;) Just going for a cheap laugh!

Thanks for the list! I've been curious about many of the people listed and glad to see so many of my favorites on the Kerry list!

[elperromagico]

13. I'm relieved to find that John Kerry supports John Kerry.

I was concerned. ;)

[jaysunb]

16. You can scratch Marvin Davis

I'll be at his old polling place to make sure he doesnt come back from the dead to vote !!

Don King, whose official residence is in Florida won't be voting either: convicted felon

[President Jesus]

19. credit newsmeat.com for that list

Details of every person on that list, and proof of campaign contribution found on this page: http://www.newsmeat.com

[faithnotgreed]

25. no way! doris day for bush? i love her and shes so animal rights

committed.... drat.

her music and movies are some of my favorites and im only in my 30s. and of course her constant work for animals.

must have been that republican ex husband of her who took her for every cent she was worth behind her back by awful investments and outright stealing! shes been brainwashed!

[calico1]

32. I commented on that yesterday in a post.

Why would an animal activist vote for Bush? And she seems smart too and was so talented. What could she possibly see in Bush*? Oh well. On the other hand, I really would have thought Andy Griffith was a Bush supporter for sure. He seems so "conservative."

[faithnotgreed]

38. what thread was that yesterday that you were talking doris day?

i love that.. and want to see it. shes awesome but then again old hollywood was mostly republican and dont even get me started on john wayne

in current times, the blacklist could never ever have happened. well, not out in the open because there would be many all over that for sure.

[WI_DEM]

41. the only reason they think Doris Day is a republican is because

she was friends with Reagan and knew him when he was a fellow actor at Warner Bros.

[President Jesus]

42. no, it's because she donated $400 to * in April

http://www.newsmeat.com/fec/bystate_detail.php?st=CA&last=Day&first=Doris

facts are facts

[wtmusic]

40. How the hell did Shrub get Wink Martindale?

It's all over *sniff* :P

[President Jesus]

52. as it turns out, many game show hosts are GOP

go figure...
http://www.newsmeat.com/fec/hof.php?#TV-GAMESHOWS

[elperromagico]

11. If any actor represents down-home, American values,

it's Andy Griffith. Glad he's on our side. :D

Oh, and remember: Matlock never loses. ;)

[snowbear]

15. George Steinbrenner...

He donated equally to Democrats and Republicans this year. How come he's only on A-holes list?

[President Jesus]

22. because he donated to * and not to Kerry

see detail: http://www.newsmeat.com/fec/bystate_detail.php?last=Steinbrenner&first=George

[wtmusic]

18. Floyd, no...but Howard Sprague would be on board...n/t

[faithnotgreed]

28. floyd rocks though. he would be old school and he wasnt exactly

the most thorough person. though he sure was curious so maybe he would have come across some of the bush scandals and been appalled. plus he likely would have been swayed by john eisenhowers words of support for kerry.

no matter - i give floyd a pass on this one but hes the only one.

[wtmusic]

36. OK you convinced me

Floyd gets a pass :thumbsup:

[faithnotgreed]

39. yay for floyd! ill go tell him the good news from du

[exliontamer]

24. Barney was a Freeper, though

Look at him... paranoid, skittish, pencil-necked, always reaching for his gun.

[wtmusic]

37. don't forget anal-retentive, insecure, chickenhawk..

a legend before his time!!

[NJmaverick]

26. I am not to sure about all these donor lists

I hope it doesn't discourage public figures from giving. YOu know how viscious, nasty and underhanded those right wingnuts can be.

[elperromagico]

27. They're going to go after Sheriff Taylor? Ben Matlock?

They're crazy, then. :D

[President Jesus]

34. they've been public for over 25 years...

...and 2004 has broken every record in terms of the number of people donating and the amounts. So I hope that calms some of your fears on that front.

It is much for citizens to know where campaign money is coming from than to be in the dark. The fact is, when a citizen makes a donation to a candidate or PAC, they are in effect attempting to influence an election. It's not sinister, but it IS our right to know who, where, and how anyone uses their influence to affect an election.

[Marxdem]

33. Jerry Seinfeld

Very odd...he donated to shrub and Gore in 99-00.

[DuaneBidoux]

45. Thanks for the link - one cool site

All those actors I like so much, and now I like them even more. It was interesting to note that Jerry Seinfeld gave to Bush in 99 but now is giving to Kerry.

Reiner and Streisand were MAJOR donors.

[hippiechick]

48. Steve Buscemi and Henry Winkler ?

I thought they were both "rah-rah Bush" boys .... :shrug:

:hippie:

[DefenseLawyer]

50. Your phone's ringin' Dude

Thank you Donny

[WI_DEM]

49. So is Don Knotts he gave $200 to the DNC
