RolandTraftonRay Is A Democrat/Republican?
I just re read Fahrenheit 451 the other day, and thought about how relevant it is during these politically turbulent times. I know that Ray both ran an ad in Variety in 1952 after Eisenhower (R) beat Stevenson (D) voicing his dissatisfaction, and he also was a major opponet of Joe McCarthy. I also know he was upset that Michael Moore's film satirically used the title of his book, but where does he currently stand politically?

fanboyLast year at Comic-con he said that if you think you are a Republican or a Democrat, you better think again. I took it to mean that we should always think for ourselves, and not just mindlessly identify ourselves with one group or another. On that basis, I would say he is neither.

WalloonHe considers himself an independent.

Robert M BlevinsExactly...
Does it matter? No.
Ray belongs to the Universal Party. He's probably one of the founding members...

Mr. DarkDoesn't everything matter?
Think about that?

Nard KordellRay liked Republican Arnold Schwarzenegger when he ran for Governor of California. Ray was by Gene McCarthy's side in an effort to get him elected. I supposed Ray admires those that make the most sense to him at the time...

Chapter 31Mr. Dark,
I don’t think they meant it in exactly the way you do but I agree with what you say. Meanwhile we should all be careful to “stay on the path” or chance stepping on something that doesn’t matter.

Doug SpauldingHe recently said this:
"I hate all politics. I don't like either political party. One should not belong to them -- one should be an individual, standing in the middle. Anyone that belongs to a party stops thinking."
That's exactly why I'm an Independent (who wants to see Ron Paul President!).

Phil KnoxWhat a flip flopper!

Doug SpauldingOh no - pick the person not the party. Paul is a moderate, independent, libertarian-minded person. Exactly what we need!
It's all about the Constitution.

Braling III'm voting for him, not expecting he'll win, but to vote my conscience.
Like I did with Alan Keyes.

Doug SpauldingGood job!
I'm hoping that when the Republicans don't nominate him (which they won't), that he'll do a Ross Perot and run as an independent - he has a huge internet following.

Nard KordellRay likely met lots of Republicans and Democrats last night, including a few Independents. You see he went to his class high-school reunion.
