Personally I wouldn’t. I’m just about smart enough to know I’m an idiot and it would irresponsible of me to discuss my feelings on those kind of issues if I’m in a position of influence.

I wouldn't.

Because of my company, I know many very well known entertainers. I know some athletes, as well. I'm about as interested in hearing their political views as they are in hearing mine...

Simple, if I am from a Ivy League School then you know very well I am a pompous ass with my nose in the air, so of course I know it all but any other School... Well no!

I'm smart enough not to alienate those who may send me money.

a famous person has as much right to express themselves as anyone else,, the problems come when people take their words more seriously than any other person when they arent,,
its just like watching the news,, listener beware,,,

Would you pretend to be a liberal if you were a Hollywood actor and you thought it was beneficial to your career?

I’m not saying they don’t have a right to speak on important issues, but I do think it’s irresponsible to speak on important issues if you don’t know what the hell you’re talking about and you do have a lot people that are influenced by your words.

If asked a controversial question, I would give my opinion.

If asked to apologize for that opinion, I would respond "Go to Hell", which used to be the general response to such a request.

Nope, not my business to preach to others.

Only on Issues I have a lot of knowledge of. Not any subject my Agent wants me to say, just to keep my name mentioned in the media as much as possible.

No.....Why alienate a significant number of my fans?

Tiger Woods refused.

Michael Jordan once wisely said; "republicans buy sneakers too".

The only guy I've seen pull it off is Charles Barkely....Primarily because he speaks common sense nearly all the time.
