Ah crap Snoop needs something to bitch about. Yes people I’m checking out some news stories and blog posts on some political endorsements and I’m becoming a little cranky because I’m just incredulous that candidates are falling all over themselves, (like Hillary beaming because of the Des Moines Register’s endorsement of her campaign) over these celebrity and editorial board ego strokes.

I realize y’all that I may be a little slow not fully comprehending the magnitude that a celebrity blessing can provide. Yes, this may stroke the ego of some candidates but can an individual voter be influenced because of a particular endorsement by a “noteworthy” person of interest?
Who Cares that Barbra Streisand endorsed Hillary, or that Oprah Winfrey endorsed Obama, or the Boston Globe editorial board loves Obama, or the New York Times loves Hillary.
Ah but the big celebrity endorsements have not begun to roll in just yet. I fucken can’t wait to hear who super skanks like Lindsay Lohan, Brittany Spears or Paris Hilton will back for president.

I may be wrong, but I doubt it, but the only people I can think of who would give a shit about these political pat on the backs are primarily political junkies, habitual newspaper readers and the candidates themselves.

I find it a wee bit odd that while newspapers continue the tradition of endorsing one political candidate or another, you don’t see other media stepping out to voice an opinion.
It would be somewhat interesting what candidate would be chosen by most of the major news outlets. Who do you think FOX News would endorse for President? What about Brian Williams or Keith Olberman? Yes the obvious pimping of some retard liberal would result but how many dead presidents would it take to nail down a NBC Nightly News presidential blessing.

Now I understand that celebrities, like the rest of us, have the right to their opinion, and can state who they wish to vote for, and so forth, but once they take that extra step and begin joining someone in a campaign, then they are just using their name and star power to try and get votes, and by definition, meaning not focusing on the issues at hand.

Oprah said as she announced her backing of Obama “I’m sick of politics as usual,” Winfrey also said. “We NEED Barack Obama.”
Ok, that’s nice. But frankly I don’t give a fuck what Oprah Winfrey says I NEED. Besides how does she fucken know “what I need?” Can you begin to process the utter arrogance of Ms. Winfrey?

Hey Oprah, peep this; what I give a fuck about is what Barack Obama has to say, and what his positions are on various issues. What would he do about illegal immigration? What about his comments saying he would attack targets in Pakistan without consent? What about the hundreds of other things that take importance over what Oprah Winfrey says?

I just find annoying as hell that these bullshit endorsements are the biggest talk around during such an important campaign. Cheap gimmicks (floating cross, hint hint) and big name endorsements, hey Oprah, get a fucken clue, THAT would be politics as usual.

Besides most of these big name celebrities tend to lean toward Democrats, but wait, ole Chucky Norris, both a Christian and Conservative by the way, came out in one of his commentaries supporting former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee. Since that time, Huckabee has squeezed it for all its worth, with Norris appearing in ads for Huckabee, and is now traveling with him. He even went to the CNN You Tube debate and got quite a lot of attention.

But again why? And who cares?

This is what makes Americans even more disconnected with the political process than to support celebrities standing up and saying “vote for him because we need him,” rather than looking into things themselves, which is a rarity among the majority of the population unfortunately.

It seems as though this woefully lazy and ignorant voting public consumed by the more pressing aspects of life figure hey, I’m too busy to give a shit where the candidates stand on issues. If someone like Oprah likes Obama he must be a good dude.
But someone like Chucky Norris, seriously people, do we really need a mediocre actor and lame internet sensation pushing for a political candidate? What makes them more qualified about politics than other people?
Again the same can be said of newspaper editorial boards, hack political pundits or former failed politicians.

Oh wait let’s not forget our man Ron Paul’s endorsement….from a pimp. Nevada brothel owner Dennis Hof was so impressed with Ron Paul he even decided to raise money for him.
In a glaring example of political endorsements that can screw you, having fucktards like 9/11 “truthers” and former KKK member and rabid antisemite David Duke pimping for you can certainly have some impact I would guess.

Maybe it’s just me ranting, but question for y’all. Would you have Oprah choose your husband or wife, or Chuck Norris deciding what home you should buy, or the editorial board of a newspaper deciding on your financial investment portfolio, of course not.
But Snoop that’s just silly, these are important personal matters.
 Hmmm, then electing an individual to lead this nation is not important? Silly me, all of this campaigning crap, hundreds of millions of dollars raised, countless hours volunteering for, endless coverage on TV, millions of articles written about something as unimportant as a presidential campaign. My bad, I thought you folks gave a damm, silly Snoop. LOL!
