the Eastwood conspiracy theory

Is Clint Eastwood off his rocker

or was he just goofing on the Republicans?

HEY, IT'S STILL OKAY TO DIG ON CLINT!

He's a "stealth democrat."

The pundits at Dog Party! have been pumping up a rumor (that is quickly transitioning to full blown conspiracy theory status) that Clint Eastwood pulled the world's biggest goof on the Republican Party.

The full theory is that Dirty Harry was a wolf in the hen house -- a secret Democratic plant -- sent by the liberal Hollywood left to wipe his butt on the Republican National Convention.  Nothing else would explain his bizarre speech and lackadaisical attitude at the convention.

Eastwood's fickle political stance has been clearly established over his lifetime.  The 80+ year old is admittedly pro choice and favors marriage equality.  He's a political switch hitter, changing up his politics to promote (and even fundraise for) democrats.  While he may be a fiscal conservative, his liberal stance on several core issues would lead one to believe that if he is really a Republican, his views are more closely aligned with the Democratic Party.

So, what we have here is a "California Republican."  A "Left Coast Conservative."  A "Republican on the Rebound."  Which way is the wind blowing today, Clint?

So, rather than really go hog wild for the right, the long, lean spaghetti western stud phoned it in for the Republicans.  And, really, what did they expect?  

You want a true Republican?  You have to get away from the West Coast to find one ... you might even have to go as far as Utah or Wisconsin.

Here's a photo from the late 1950's ... back when the old fart was a young fart.  This is a public domain publicity still from Eastwood's acting in a television show called, "Rawhide."  Check out Mister Angel Eyes.
