Lea Thompson and Jennifer Grey are Democrats and starred in the film.

I suppose that means Red Dawn is actually a manifesto of Democratic response to an attack by the USSR and the ultimate in your face to the Republican Party.

No. That means that, unlike Quayle and his ilk, Thompson and Grey can tell the difference between reality and fiction. Just in case you're wondering, even though Thompson also starred in "Back to the Future", it doesn't mean she thinks DeLoreans can travel through time.
