Question

mike modano, roenick, chelios, mike richter, peter mueller. i never knew they liked politics.

Answer 1

i am not saying this is the reason they vote republican but people who earn millions a year see the republican party as a protector of individual wealth.

Answer 2

Where did you get the list? ANd if it is just these guys, that might explain why the Rep. party is in such disarray...and with old and outdated policies

Answer 3

That's 5 out of 700 something so I'd say that's very few. Plus, many can't vote in the USA, so it doesn't matter what they think about politics. Everyone should care ethough. We have the right to vote and we should vote more. More people voted for fraking American Idol than in the last presidential election. Sad & disgusting.

Answer 4

If it is true, and taking the examples you give as fact  --  then probably because they are filthy rich!

Republicans historically have a reputation better for the rich.  Like less taxation.
