PSSST… I Know A Secret
DENNIS HOPPER - HOPPER KEEPS BUSH SUPPORT UNDER WRAPS: “HOPPER KEEPS BUSH SUPPORT UNDER WRAPS
DENNIS HOPPER
Veteran actor DENNIS HOPPER rarely tells people he voted for US President GEORGE W BUSH - because he fears being shunned by his liberal colleagues.
The 69-year-old EASY RIDER icon became a registered Republican in the 1980s, supporting late US President RONALD REAGAN’s administration.
And he’s remained faithful to the political party ever since, even though many of his Hollywood counterparts strongly oppose Bush.
He says, ‘I’ve been a Republican since Reagan. I voted for Bush and his father. I don’t tell a lot of people, because I live in a city where somebody who voted for Bush is really an outcast.’

Well, I guess it’s not much of a secret anymore. He must be mistaken about the “outcast” stigma, because the Hollywood establishment is made up of cultural and political progressives. I hear they are a tolerant bunch.

Another reason I love Dennis Hopper.
Have you seen Blue Velvet?

No, I missed that one, but Denise saw it when it was released. She went with our neighbor, who had been a film major and was a David Lynch fan. As I recall, she described it as “disturbing.”

“disturbing”–yes, it is that. David Lynch is just so cool. Hopper was cool too.

I am a closet Republican also. In my business it is very difficult to discuss this with anyone. And my husband, let’s just call him “Bubba”….. just would not understand……
