The smell of the Hollywood Left fills the Denver air
Published on July 21, 2008 By singrdave In Democrat

Actors Ben Affleck, Quentin Tarantino, Warren Beatty, Annette Benning, Forrest Whitaker, Edward Norton, and Susan Sarandon as well as musicians Kanye West, Pharrell Williams, and Wyclef Jean have all been confirmed as attending the DNC convention in Denver this August.

Alice Cooper said it best: "When I was a kid and my parents started talking about politics, I'd run to my room and put on the Rolling Stones as loud as I could. So when I see all these rock stars up there talking politics, it makes me sick. If you're listening to a rock star in order to get your information on who to vote for, you're a bigger moron than they are. Why are we rock stars? Because we're morons. We sleep all day, we play music at night and very rarely do we sit around reading the Washington Journal."

He continued: "To me that's treason. I call it treason against rock n' roll because rock is the antithesis of politics. Rock should never be in bed with politics."

Darn straight, Mr. Cooper.  Do not buy into the hype.  Actors and musicians use their clout and public images to try and convince voters.  Make informed decisions not voting practices espoused by actors and musicians.

Do we still need to give comments in order to forum bump?

Hi singrdave.  Glad to see you back.  I would never base my vote on what celebrity is endorsing a candidate.  Half of them never even graduated from high school.  At least, I made that momentous accomplishment - lol.  I really don't see why their opinions should hold any more weight than the average citizen.

If I were going to vote for someone and one of these anti-American multi millionaire actors or actresses would endorse that candidate, I would have to start looking for another candidate. If Hollywood likes them, there must be something wrong with them!

BTW good to "see" you
