Endorsements are Ridiculous

Why do we care who Colin Powell endorses for the President of the United States? Is he an authority on who is best to lead this country? Well, maybe he is more of an authority than a newspaper, talk show host, or even worse, an A-list celebrity. Still, we have been inundated with these support statements as of late and it’s got me a little irritated. Take a look…



The following are current endorsements of entertainment note:

Obama
McCain
Don Cheadle
Ben Affleck
Oprah
Billy Crystal
George Clooney
Nick Cannon
Will Ferrell
Kareem Abdul-Jabar
George Lucas
M. Night Shyamalan
50 Cent
Devo
Tyra Banks
Perez Hilton
Hulk Hogan
Booker T
Dan Aykroyd
Jon Cryer
Lou Ferrigno
Erik Estrada
Robert Duvall
Elizabeth Hasselback
Craig T. Nelson
Joan Rivers
Rip Torn
Jon Voight
Don King
John Elway
Richard Petty
Curt Shilling
Arnold Palmer
Heidi Montag

Now, let’s look at newspapers:


Obama
McCain
Chicago Tribune
Atlanta Journal
Boston globe
Detroit Free Press
Washington Post
The Boston Herald
New York Post
Tampa Tribune
San Diego Union Tribune
Las Vegas Review-Journal

Time for business people:


Obama
McCain
Warren Buffett
Jeffery Katzenberger
Chris Hughes
Dan Rooney
Donald Trump
Charles Schwab
Steve Forbes
Meg Whitman

If you are saying “Who Cares” right about now, then you are on the right track. If you give one ounce of credence to the presidential thoughts of Heidi Montag, Nick Cannon, or the “Hulkster,” then you probably should stay away from the polls on Election Day. The same goes for newspapers, businessmen, and world leaders alike. Make up your own mind America and pay no attention to the talking heads.

If you are going to tell me that Ponch is a McCain supporter, then my vote is cast my friend!

McCain does got some pretty cool supporters: 1 Chip, The Hulk, 2 Kings (Don and Petty), 1 Blues Brother, and 2 Coaches (Hayden Fox & Bud Kilmer). That may be enough to sway some undecided voters.

I so agree with you on this kind of thing. A bit dated now, but back when, what the heck makes Chuck Norris a qualified person to endorse someone? What is worse then people decide to support a candidate based on a celebrity endorsement. http://www.mephistos.com/2008/01/10/chuck-norris-teenagers-and-presidential-hopefuls/
