Do you know what's the great thing about being a Democrat?
It's that we have basically all the cool Hollywood actors and singers who support our party.

Examples: George Clooney, Alec Baldwin, Jack Black, Will Ferrell, Ben Affleck, Anne Hathaway, Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, Tom Hanks, Sean Penn, Jon Stewart and more.

Don't forget all the cool bands/artists as well: U2, Billy Joel, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Wonder, Jon Bon Jovi etc.

What's REALLY funny is that whenever a Republican tries to play a song from any band for a TV ad or something like that, the band calls them and asks them to stop playing, LMAO. This has happened multiple times. Examples, Aerosmith, Bruce Springsteen, and Heart.

14. I drink canadian whiskey and Pabst blue ribbon
I used to drink MD 20/20 and red wild irish rose, but they gave me hangovers.

That probably doesn't qualify as 'good' liquor.

7. I could care less if one actor or musician was a Democrat...
I know that I'm on the right side of history and middle class and poor Americans.

But it is a nice little perk when campaign season rolls around.

Other than that, I don't think any of us should really care....other than they vote and we need to stay in the majority!

8. Because we Democrats are more CREATIVE!
There may be more stock brokers and business leaders who
are Rethugs, but we have ART on our side! (Yeah, yeah,
I know -- you can't eat your paintings when times get
tough ... But hopefully you can amuse yourself enough
so you don't feel as hungry.)

11. Something to brag about?
I don't know why we should be glad to have the support of the people with the least credibility. I'm sorry but I really can't take Jack Black seriously as an actor let alone as a source of insight and information.

I'm sure they are all fine Americans...in their own special way. And they are very entertaining, intelligent, creative, and talented. But I wouldn't trust Ben Affleck's real world judgment as far as I could throw him. Let them play their songs, speak their parts, and live their lives. But I refuse to listen to their thoughts on subjects they don't have the training or education to understand.

U2? Are you serious? Really! U2! Isn't Bono a Gaelic word meaning douche bag?

12. Hell yeah it's something to brag about. Creative people like actors
and musicians bring new ideas and energy to the party too. I'm not saying they are more important than the rest of our members but I personally appreciate the hell out of them. Who wouldn't want Clooney to back them up?
