:thumbup:

basically my opinion is if politics were a big part or influence on his life - I believe we'd know it already. when you have strong views in that scene it's hard to keep quiet lol

I don't think he's directly come out and said he is a conservative. I think Eastwood is more of a Libertarian.


More or less, I suppose.

If you don't play politics, politics will play you.

And he's directly said as much.

I agree. He's a smart dude, politics fuck everything up.

I admit anytime a celeb talks about politics I turn the channel, stop following them on Twitter, etc. I fucking hate when they preach about politics or who they say I should support. It immediately makes me like them a lot less when they discuss politics.

They're people too. They can have their own opinions. I do hate when celebrities use their power to persuade people, and pander, but there's nothing wrong with a celebrity being vocal about their opinions.
