Sure it was.The test for this is what he does with the money he makes from the deal.
There aren't too many celebs who do more for charity & give more than Springsteen.

Yeah, because Franken couldn't be considered an "actor"...
Do some math. Percentage of liberals in hollywood vs the percentage of republicans. and the ratio at which they run for and/or get elected to national office.
Don't forget about actors in places other than Hollywood.
I know Eastwood was elected to office, but as a Libertarian. Thompson became an actor after his stint as a Senator, not before. Reagan we all know, but he was a far better politician than actor. Who else is there? Ah. Schwarzenegger. I can't forget Schwarzenegger...
We got Sonny Bono, and Franken on the left... Each party seems to be attracted to fame, including the Libertarians.
Actually Thompson was in the Senate from 1994 to 2003, but began acting in 1985, so that's wrong. Eastwood might call himself a LIbertarian, but in fact, he was "elected as" a Republican.
Regardless, Republican actors enter politics far more frequently than liberal actors do, so BF was right, and even though your post is factually wrong (as usual), it still did not dispute that.
Hmm... I thought he became an actor afterward. And Eastwood was definitely listed as a Libertarian when he became mayor.
Shoot, he even took swipes at the major parties during interviews.

I don't feel upset about it, I just think that both parties have fame-worship.
No, he was a registered Republican. I don't know what "listed as" means. I said, he definitely says he is a libertarian, but that doesn't change the facts. He sounds almost like a not a republican republican, you might know the type?
No, Thompson definitely acted before he starred as a cowboy in a red pickup truck by day, mercedes by night, Senator. I had to look that one up because I was certain I had read he had been acting for many years.
I'm good with that. I never voted for him. Although I would have voted for Reagan if I were old enough. I would have voted for Eastwood too. As far as I understand it he was quite capable as a Mayor and I like his politics.
Cool 'nuff. So far the only one I dislike is Thompson, but that's because of his emphasis on the religious end of conservatism to the detriment of the parts I find important.
I don't see why it would be embarrassing. Associating with Reagan and Eastwood isn't all that embarrassing. Schwarzenegger is a bit spendy for me, but he isn't too horrific and what other kind of republican could get elected there?
I disagree about Reagan, agree about Schwarzenegger. But that doesn't change my question, what other type of R could get elected there?

He's responsible for freeing millions in Eastern Europe. He knew how to pick his fights.

Not every thing he did was perfect. But again, he's responsible for freeing millions in Eastern Europe. Few can claim that.
He also showed that lowing taxes raises revenues.

That woulda happened regardless and either way doesn;t give him an excuse
It wouldn't have happened, Carter had no plans to lower taxes and the fall of the Soviet Union would have happened later without Gorby, Reagan and (of all people) the Pope...

Tax revenues increased in the top brackets during the Reagan years, but at a much lower rate than in the preceding decades. Face it Republitards, you can't have your cake and eat it too. And OUR taxes didn't go down; if anything, he just lowered the riches taxes and let the bracket creep and inflation push the new tax burden off onto the middle class.

Reagan was useless in the fall of the soviet union. It would've fallen faster without him.
