Ais: Okay, Priebs. Say I could persuade an A-list client to join your little task force... what's the offer look like? Reince Priebus: Offer? Sid: Yes, as in money. Reince Priebus: Um... we're hoping to find celebs who'll step up as a matter of principle. Sid: Hello? Sorry, just lost you! I'm driving in a dead zone! Reince Priebus: I'll call back.

Principle? This coming from an unprincipled party more concerned for putting the government in gridlock than doing what is right to keep people safe and secure and letting them flourish.

Just one example of people who could flourish if the Republicans would do what is right – allowing young undocumented people to live and work legally in the USA.

lol. love it.!!!
oh the same for the Democrats, just that the Democrats learn from the Republicans how to. lol

Well, just think of how much gasoline would cost if you put it into half-liter bottles, shipped it in crates on trucks, and sold it inside convenience stores.

The best would be Jim Backus. Famously known for his portrayal of Thurston Howell III.

“Good news! The Democrats are bought and paid for!!!”.Ummm, I thinkl he’s trying to find a Republican celebrity to buy…can’t be that difficult. Maybe he could promote a D lister to the B or C list.

Grow up George. I don’t think Obama is the problem. I’d say RACism on the part of the Republican Congess.
TCulberson over 11 years ago
I am so glad that a celebrity like the Kardashians, Lohan, Jay Z, Lady Ga Ga, Madonna are not Republicans. I’d need to get vaccinated to be at a function or vote.

Don’t thank them just yet – we’re still working on the Nazi/communist/fascist dictatorship, and we have almost four years to go!

That’s ridiculous. Those guys are oozing cash and would pay ANYTHING without hesitation.
montessoriteacher over 11 years ago
Although the A listers are oozing $, they are mostly Democrats, so not really willing to part with the oozing $. I am sure Barbra Streisand, Tom hanks, George Clooney, and many others, would hesitate big time to write a big check to the RNC…

Politicians and celebrities do nothing on principle, it’s the money.
Did you ever see a star do a commercial for free because they like the product? No. Pay enough, you could get any star to endorse anything. Yeah, Joe Namath and BeautyMist pantyhose comes to mind!

It is one thing to disagree with the President’s political philosophy or policies and to criticize them. It is another thing to claim that the President has assumed the office illegally when he has been elected twice in a clear and decisive manner. I will let conservative Erick Erickson speak for me:-
Is It Time to Roll Up the Welcome Mat Here?By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | November 13th, 2012 at 11:32 AM | 161
Barack Obama won the election.
He did not win by stealing the election. Voter irregularities always happen. It is one reason we support voter ID rules. But even in the worse scenario of reports out there, there were not enough tales of voter irregularities to matter nationwide. This is another benefit and built in safeguard of the electoral college.
Barack Obama won. He won by turning out the most people in a well run campaign. In other words, he won fair and square.
We here at RedState are American citizens. We have no plans to secede from the union. If you do, good luck with that, but this is not the place for you.
We have a place for you here if you wish to continue the fight against Republicans in Washington like John Boehner and Mitch McConnell who’d be happy to sell us down the river to keep their power, no matter how devoid of principle or sound policy. You have a place here if you’d like to keep fighting the Democrats who are intent on further stifling economic growth, pushing forward with Obamacare, bankrupting the nation, and siding with teachers unions against kids who deserve better.
Too many people have spent the past four years obsessed with birth certificates. Now they are obsessed with voter fraud conspiracies, talk of secession, and supposed election changing news stories if only we had known.
So let’s add dabblers in this latest nuttiness to birthers as a category of people we do not welcome at RedState. Our aim is to beat the Democrats, not beat a retreat to a Confederacy that Generals Grant and Sherman rent asunder well over a hundred years ago.
Even here at RedState, while we may not much care for him, President Obama is still our President and we are still quite happily citizens of the United States. If we must drain this fever swamp that’s taken hold of a few people on the right over this past week before we can drain the swamp in Washington, so be it.
All others need not apply.
Sincerely,Erick EricksonEditor-in-Chief, RedState.com

Principles? This from a group of ‘actors’ who abuse drugs and driving laws and got an audience with the Prez to discuss getting rid of drug laws and lightening driving penalties? Please.
