Like Reagan did? Clint Eastwood? Arnold Schwarzenegger? Fred Thompson? Sonny Bono? Fred Grandy?

Fair enough, but Fred Thompson was a lawyer before he was an actor, so he doesn't necessarily count. As to Grandy, I think he went to Harvard or someplace similar, right? To be honest, if I was alive when Reagan grew to power within the party in the 60s and 70s, or when Grandy was campaigning for Congress, I probably would have had the same issues.
My main point is that it annoys me when members of Hollywood try to become part of the debate (whether Democrat, Republican, or otherwise). It's part of their right as citizens to speak their mind, but it still bugs the heck out of me.

Plus there's the simple issue of all of the dudes noted save Reagan pretty much sucking.

LOL, I avoided outright nutballs because it would only hurt the point (plus, he ran and won as a 3rd party candidate).
And as to the others "sucking", the congressional members were all reelected several times, so their constituents must have thought they did something right. And I'm sure it didn't escape your attention that they were all from the GOP.

It didn't - although I'm not sure where in my comment I made it a point to say that I was annoyed at celebrities advocating for Democrats. I made a blanket statement, and intended it as such - it annoys me no matter their party affiliation.

Fair enough! It still struck me as interesting, though...
