Bush-Supporter Dennis Hopper Switches His Vote: "I Pray" Obama Wins

One of Hollywood's few Republicans has switched his vote. Dennis Hopper, 72, told reporters in France that he's praying for an Obama victory, despite decades as a Bush supporter.

"I voted for Bush, father and son, but this time I'll vote for Obama," he told journalists at the opening of a show on his life and work.

"I was the first person in my family to have been Republican," he added. "For most of my life I wasn't on the left."

"I pray God, Barack Obama is elected," he said, calling the current administration's many "lies."

Hopper stars in "An American Carol," a conservative comedy that spoofed Michael Moore and last donated money, in 2004, the RNC.

French Culture minister Christine Albanel also named Dennis Hopper as Commander of the 'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres' medal on Monday night.

I think he'd be most effective canvassing for McCain door to door in some gated retirement community. Imagine seeing him on your doorstop with a handful of McCain literature!

STILL not as shocking as Christopher Hitchens

Christopher Hitchens and Christoper Buckley...

It seems like conservative intellectuals are finding it impossible to support McCain/Palin.

But, really, all I want to tell them is that Bush/Cheney was JUST AS BAD.

"Last week's so-called town-hall event showed Sen. John McCain to be someone suffering from an increasingly obvious and embarrassing deficit, both cognitive and physical."

Damn!

All these Hollywood types , who support OBAMA, will be looking for high priced talent to avoid the higher taxes their man has promised. Guess who will pick up the tab for them - Mr & Mrs Average Joe. Anyone who thinks everyones taxes will not go up I have a bridge I would love to sell them.

Taxes are going to go up, Mr Roxy , no matter who wins if America is going to get out of its economic crisis. It's just that not everyone admits it. Remember "Watch my lips. No new taxes." ? (Or, do you remember that?)

Of course, I am sure the liberal media took his quote out of context.

Roxy, how do you purpose to lower the deficit without raising taxes? What's your plan? Is it cutting all the programs that don't affect you? If you think taxes won't go up if MCCAIN gets elected, I have a bridge a tunnel a few airports and a couple of train stations I'd love to sell you. It's time to "STICK A FORK" in your argument that taxes will only rise if Obama is elected, the "SHIITE WILL HIT THE FAN" no matter who wins.
