Although I state no opinion on Eastwood's personal life, (other than the observation that he sure has fathered a whole mess of youngun's!) I don't get how one's personal life is a testament to whether the individual holds conservative versus communist/socialist/wacko/elitist/Progressive viewpoints.
Look at Crisco Moore: A fat slovenly blob who lives a life of lavish indulgence yet promotes a austere, barren "Do Without" mindset; or AlGore, who promotes a "Green" lifestyle, yet leaves a very large carbon footprint.....
