Voight campaigned for Rudy Giuliani during the 2008 Republican Presidential Primary. Since he's pretty much past his sell-by date, any pronouncement he makes I generally take cumo graino salto.

Ivan nailed it. The sour grapes party finds another convert.

Meanwhile, Dennis Hopper came back to the left, and Travolta stayed true to his course.

What a creep Voight is. No wonder Angelina doesn't talk to him. Hard to reconcile his good performances with his loathsome politics.

Maybe to him politics isn't as important as playing "the rebel" and being on the side of the opposition, regardless of who's in charge?

If you're not a socialist at twenty, you have no heart. If you're still a socialist at forty, you have no brain.

Maybe the man had a sincere change of views. Keep up the slander.
