OoO Get out of here! Robert Downey Jr. is a CONSERVATIVE?!!
"I have a really interesting political point of view, and it’s not always something I say too loud at dinner tables here, but you can’t go from a $2,000-a-night suite at La Mirage to a penitentiary and really understand it and come out a liberal. You can’t. I wouldn’t wish that experience on anyone else, but it was very, very, very educational for me and has informed my proclivities and politics ever since." - RDJ, April 2008
OoO

I've never cared much about celebreties, you see. So I wouldn't know this.
I completely squeed when I heard the Iron Man 2 quote about privatizing world peace and his parry to the Senators regarding property & liberty in the original trailer, which it made me wonder, but...... I kinda figured, "Oh. Well, at least Tony Stark is a conservative." But RDJ?
OoO
Holy crap!!
We NEVER get the hot ones!
Well, that solves the absolutely essential decision of favorite actor I've been pondering the last few days: Johnny Depp or Robert Downey Jr?
Aha. Need I answer that now? XD

I wonder too... Although considering the quote, I don't think he's a wishy-washy moderate. Moderates are too careful about calling anyone a liberal... According to a Fox story written in 2009, his publicist said he does't speak on political matters. But he did attend the 2008 GOP Convention... which makes me feel like an absolute idiot now, because I had a chance, albeit a slim one, to go to that, and I didn't even make the effort. =/ Apparently John McCain made conservative Hollywood actors feel like they could come out a bit more because John McCain had been a media darling...
