I wasn't too shocked when I heard this, republicans usually fall into one of two categories
- The tootless hick from Texas who has nothing to do but go rootin' tootin' and shootin' with one of his 75 guns or rifles
and - The "privildged" person, the kind of person who never had to really work for anything and has had it very easy with family connections or whatever and things just fall into thier lap.
Dean Cain obviously falls into the 2nd one.being a young quite good looking guy when he started out, people just flocked to him and he never even had to work hard for anything.
Ha Ha, made ya look!

Dean has worked very hard for his success. He turned down football scholarships at 17 colleges to go to Princeton (with no scholarship), and he has even said that at one point his father sold the family car and took the bus to work in order to afford his Princeton tuition.
When he injured his knee and had to prematurely end his football career, he did 35 commercials for Frosted Flakes, Diet Coke, etc. to pay the bills before going on to successful roles in Beverly Hills 90210 and Lois and Clark etc. He worked 12-14 hour days on the set of Lois and Clark playing Superman and being strung up on wires and cables etc. He is good looking, smart, and charasmatic, but that doesn't mean he hasn't had to work hard and earn his success. -

Like I said.things just handed to him.
He was offered free college to 17 colleges..and going to Princeton w/out one and having his father sell the carblah blah blah.sorry, don't buy it.
And um, you don't "work hard" when your an actorsorry, you don't do it. You show up and play the part you are supposed to play, get an extreme amount of money and work long days.for a few months. Then you have all the time in the world off.

I disagree that things were "just handed to him." He got those scholarships because he is a good athlete and earned them. He could have taken the easy way out and taken the scholarship, but he didn't.
As for acting, very few actors get to just "show up and play a part and get an extreme amount of money." For every actor that makes it, there are thousands waiting tables or taking lower paying jobs and "waiting for their big break." Acting is very competetive, and it takes a lot of perserverance. You have to go on countless auditions where you're rejected and told a million and one reasons why you're not right for the part. Even Brad Pitt once worked for a restaurant called "EL Pollo Loco" and wore a chicken costume. Most actors have worked hard and paid their dues before they made it in Hollywood. Good looks and luck and family connections might have helped them get their foot in the door, but it's not like $20 million movie roles just "fall in their lap" and Steven Speilberg is calling them up offering them staring roles. Most of them hire publicists, agents, etc. and spend a lot of time and money promoting their career and their movies.
If your argument were true that actors don't really work and are "privileged," and that "privileged" people are usually Republican, then why are so many actors Democrats? -

Because the actors who are Democrats realize that not everyone is as lucky as they are and they help other people, republicans don't carethey only care about growing their bank account or the bank account of their friends

I'm all for helping people who are having a rough time get back on their feet, but Barack Obama wants to give checks to people who don't even pay taxes. Um, the government is broke and owes billions of dollars to China. Where is he getting this money? His argument is "Well, these people pay Social Security Taxes." Excuse me, but social security taxes are supposed to be for their retirement. Social Security is rapidly going broke too, and that'll be the next big crisis. He wants to dip into Social Security to give welfare checks to people who don't even pay taxes. I'm no economist, but that doesn't sound smart to me.
I give to charity when I can. I know that Dean is involved in a lot of charities too. He supports the Malibu Youth Foundation, The Joe Torry Foundation, Mendingkids, just to name a few. He also does a lot of charity celebrity basketball and baseball games, etc. He plays Celebrity Poker and "Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader" for charity. I'm all for people supporting good causes. You don't have to be a celebrity or a democrat or super rich to do it. -

Andb68 actually conservatives give to charities far more than liberals do.
I don't know how you got your answer, you should probably place your source but only as long as it's not from Fox News.
Also conservatives sometimes are the cause of some charities, like for example a homeless shelter specifically created only for homeless gay youth (conservative parents know what I'm talking about). -

By the same token you could say, actually more accurately, that liberals are the cause of the destruction of many communities and the cause of white flight from many communities. -

Dean is entitled to his political views and affiliation. Why are people changing their opinion on Dean Cain the person just because he is supporting a Republican candidate for president? Yes I admit I was a little bit disappointed at first that he's a McCain supporter, but isn't he's still the same guy? Let's not go down the same road that country fans went when the Dixie Chicks criticized Bush going into Iraq. Let's have some perpective here.

I never said Dean Cain couldn't have his own views. Of course he can, He's an American. I also never said my opinion of him changed. What I did say is it makes sense he supports a republican candidate.

I am an actor. Acting is not easy. Assume it's a musical or some sort of stage production. It's hard on you. Jumping around, dancing, singing, on a hot lit stage. Memorizing line after line after script after script. Cain is working on like 5 projects right now. THat means he could be going between states and even countries every week just to film something.
Acting is not an easy job, I garuntee it. -

Oh, billyxixyou don't know about what you are speaking, sir. Being an actor isn't easy at all. You clearly have had any substantial role at all if you're asserting such garbage.
Just some food for thought,
Peace, Y'all!

Oh pleasebeing a republican or democrat doesn't mean you're inherently a bad person. Just like I cant say all Republicans are privileged or all dems are weak.
This election is getting to people.
Christianity is not a religion, its a relationship with Christ. -

AgainI'll repeat myself for the kids who apparently aren't paying attention.
I didn't say he was a bad person for being a republican.
God I can't stand when people twist around words in a week attempt to make someone look bad.

your original post was an extremely negative statement about Republicans which is why others are making their statements to you. You've back pedaled on(or "twisted") your original statement. Like I told you before grow up
