Acclaimed actor Robert Duvall - one of the few open conservatives in Hollywood - is leaving the Republican Party calling it "a mess".


quote:

That's quite a turnaround for Duvall, who narrated most of the videos for the 2008 Republican National Convention. In September 2008, he appeared on stage at a John McCain-Sarah Palin rally in New Mexico. In 2012, Duvall endorsed Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney. And back in 2001 was personally invited to President George W. Bush's inauguration.

Whatever floats his boat. ETA He believes in a woman's choice to murder an innocent child. Good riddance.

frick him. We'll be just fine. Maybe he's the virus because it sure seems like everyone he supported lost, besides Bush.

I love it when one person thinks he is relevant enough to make a statement on something no one cares about, his personal ideals!

What in the hell have you been thinking for the last 40 years, Bob? Roe vs Wade was in 1973. The GOP was the prolife party way before you were Boo Radley.

Very odd timing.

Did the GOP recently officially adopt a new stance on this issue?

The fact that he sat out Godfather 3 was one of many things that ruined that movie. Really good actor.

Leaving over abortion is a poor reason. The Republicans are right about that.

Somehow, some way, we really need to improve on our terminology in America. We need some new words or something because frankly, to me, the abortion issue has nothing to do with conservatism/liberalism. Sure. There is definitely a correlation in America, but there needs to be terms for the sides on Social issues that are separate from the terms on fiscal issues.

I mean. My positions regarding taxes, entitlements, govt spending, military etc etc have pretty much zero relation to my social positions.

I'm not the only one. IRL, I meet people all the time who are all over the map on social issues but, if they're fiscally liberal, that seems to be a near universal trend and if they're fiscally conservative, same thing.

GOP does suck but it sounds like Duvall's wife wears the pants in that family.
