Most of Hollywood is int he bag for the Dems and has been ever since the town took a hard left turn after the Vietnam war which has led to it's present sad state that leaves it teetering on the brink of the abyss as it churns out garbage unmatched in the hundred years or so of films have been being made on the West coast.
There are however quite a few brave principled souls who haven't sold their souls to the devil and the homosexual lobby that are generally ignored by the MSM but they are out there nonetheless and Politico has a story highlighting those few individualist GOP supporters out amongst the loons in LALA land this election year.

Hollywood GOP lines up for McCain, Giuliani
Jeffrey Ressner - Politico.com: "Republicans have never had an easy time in Hollywood.But throughout the presidential primaries, John McCain and Rudy Giuliani have been quietly working to garner what little support there is in showbiz for conservative politicians.
A little bit of Tinseltown glitter goes a long way — just ask Mike Huckabee, who has been milking support from 1980s action star and Internet humor icon Chuck Norris for all it’s worth.
(Mr. Texas Ranger even played attack dog for the former Arkansas governor Sunday by making pointed remarks about McCain’s age and health.)
On the whole, Democratic candidates far outpace their GOP rivals when it comes to Hollywood money.
But among Republicans, at least, McCain and Giuliani were nearly tied in campaign contributions from entertainment business leaders, according to the latest campaign finance reports."As of late October, the senator from Arizona had received $390,925 from PACs and individuals in the television, movie and music industries, compared with Giuliani’s $379,126, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.
On Jan. 31, immediately following the GOP debate at the Ronald Reagan library, McCain will headline a fundraiser at the home of MGM Chairman and CEO Harry Sloan.
A favorite of veteran entertainment and media moguls, McCain has received donations from Jerry Bruckheimer, Barry Diller, Kirk Kerkorian, Richard Parsons, Lorne Michaels and Brad Grey, and from a handful of character actors including Rip Torn and Dick Van Patten. “McCain’s support in Hollywood goes back to the 2000 election, when he had so much backing from independents, and then in 2004, due to his friendship with John Kerry,” said Sloan.
“Those two events gave him a positive image with the Hollywood community. If anything, he’s seen as ‘the tolerable Republican’ to a lot of the Democrats and liberals here. I seldom hear anybody say anything negative about John, even though they probably disagree with him on a majority of the issues.”
Still, it appears that Giuliani has far more on-screen A-List star power behind him.
Actors Adam Sandler, Kelsey Grammer and Robert Duvall have all weighed in for the former New York mayor, along with Brad Grey and “24” producer Joel Surnow. (Duvall held a fundraiser for Giuliani at his Virginia horse country home.)
Others on Giuliani’s list: actors Jon Voight (who is stumping in Florida with Giuliani), Ron Silver and Melissa Gilbert, comedian Dennis Miller, publicist Michael Levine and many so-called “below-the-line” workers who toil in less glamorous parts of the trade. continued
