It may no longer be in the way of continuing his 23-year committment to girlfriend Susan Sarandon, but the liberal star has, strangely, given some dough to Republicans. And to Minnesota’s right-wing, controversial, and some-say-spotlight-seeking Rep. Michele Bachmann at that.
Via Daily Beast:
Loyal Dems would undoubtedly be gobsmacked to learn that, if Federal Election Commission records are to be believed, Robbins has not only donated regularly to Democratic candidates over the past 18 years, he also has written checks to conservative Republicans. In the 2006 election cycle, according to public records, the actor gave $5,000 to 10 Republican candidates for the House and Senate—including, most shocking of all, Minnesota’s resident wingnut, Rep. Michele Bachmann.
Not sure what to make, if anything, of that.

What to make of it is that he's (if it is the real Tim Robbins, Actor, and not some other real Tim Robbins,) obviously run up against the wall of absurdity of the left. It takes a while for the coffee smell to take effect, but then that's the best part of waking up from liberal slumber -- but remember this: Ronald Reagan was a Democrat too, once. And look how he changed -- or, better -- how the Democrats went to the left -- and perhaps Robbins is now seeing reality. Just a guess.
Now, if the GOP leaders had brains they'd invite Mr. Robbins to meet with them, and find out what it is all about. Right? But we can't even get the GOP muckymucks to support a GOP candidate in an election in Massachusetts.
Still, every crack in the liberal thought-prison wall must be exploited. Crowbarred, and pried apart. So perhaps why doesn't American Spectator just call up Mr. Robbins and ask him? Maybe the answer will be pleasing. Or maybe he had no idea he donated to the "Wrong Side." Just ask, seek, ye, shall find.

I would be shocked if Tim Robbins, the actor, actually, knowingly donated money to anyone who's to the right of Joseph Stalin. He is dyed in the wool.
It would be pretty to think otherwise, but most liberals never awaken from their slumber. Virtually all of my colleages, coworkers, peers and erstwhile friends are liberals, and each and every day, as each new "Obamanation" is foisted upon us, and with neck veins a-throbbing, I shout, "NOW do you get why liberalism is tyranny? Now do you understand that it undermines the very people it pretends to help? Now do you see that the party of Big Business, Wall Street, High-Tech Elites and the Status Quo trampling the little guy is the Democrat party, not the Republican party? Now do you understand the mendacity is the currency of liberalism? Now do you see that bureaucracy is inherently corrupt and inefficient? Now do you understand why trusting the government and villifying the private sector are the OPPOSITE of freedom?"
Alas, I am met with blank stares at best - particularly from the intelligent ones, for intellecutalism - the raw material out of which liberalism is hewn - is inherently walled off from the real world.
They never, ever get the consequences of their foolishness. It is very rare indeed that a liberal breaks the suction and enters the causal world.
