Celebrities View On Politics

Kid Rock's view on Politics "I truly believe that people like myself, who are in a position of entertainers in the limelight, should keep their mouth shut on politics. Because at the end of the day, I'm good at writing songs and singing. What I'm not educated in is the field of political science. And so for me to be sharing my views and influencing people of who I think they should be voting for...I think would be very irresponsible on my part. I think celebrity endorsements hurt politicians. Because as soon as somebody comes out for a politician, especially in Hollywood, when they all go, "I'm voting for this guy!" -- I go, "That's not who I'm voting for!" ... As soon as Oprah Winfrey pops up and goes "Ha-la-la-la-la," I'm like, "I love Barack Obama. I hate Oprah Winfrey."



I agree with Kid Rock, even though I do not know much about politics this is my opinion. If people are going to vote for somebody, they should vote for the person they think is right for the job, not because it's the "IN THING" to vote for this person because everyone else is or because a celebrity is voting for that someone, the media plays a huge role on politics and on everything else. I believe that when Oprah said that she's supporting Obama there were so much women who watch OPRAH are going to vote for obama because of her, if she wasn't in the picture it would be a different story. I hung out with my friends the other day, and for some reason the topic of politics came out, which is wierd because we don't talk about politics at all, for some reason a good friend of mine said that he was going to vote for Obama because of his connection to Hawaii , and went to school here. Thats his choice right, again going to vote for someone because they want to, but that reason is weak, what is he going to do for us in the future, vote for someone with strong logical reasoning, and who can better our country.

thats my opinion
