What do you think about celebs publicly backing a Pres. Candidate?

Question

No matter which political party you align yourself with, does it annoy you when celebrity's try and influence voters with their support of a presidential candidate?

Answer 1

A huge stereotype here...lets just say people regardless of their status would be more appropriate.

The stars of today, one to mention, Barbra Streisand, she is a Democrat and will support that. She doesn't expect people to follow her because she is this great singing sensation to the World and she never has boasted that.

She delivered a message during Bill Clinton's inaugural speech and she spoke of the children. What Barbra was saying is that teaching your child politics at a young age has much stronger results during elections when they're grown rather than steering or to sway one from one side to another. Dysfunctional families cause America to fall when the children grown become dysfunctional and choose the wrong ballot.

Barbra is very smart and wise. Read what I typed above again so you understand what I just said.

Barbra is very smart and fooled allot of people, but she didn't fool me, it was very obvious what she was saying if you listened to her you heard it and if  you didn't pay attention you missed it. She was saying "teach your children to become Democrats."  She was trying to influence those people in America to go Democrat, but never said it in those exact words.  She attacked low impoverished families and looks at America in the nads of the children coming up in the world today as the key figures in politics. Barbra is a genious.

You have to read between the lines of what she is preaching about and put two and two together and whamo...you figured out what she is saying indirectly on live television without causing a ruckus.

Democrats want to spend money in education and on the children from all races and all walks of live and in every corner of poverty and none are left out. They know that bringing up children in good families is a major political boom, but first you have to make sure that these families function normal and this is where Democrats hit hard upon because one day democracy may not be hard to challenge when you have a dominant Democratic Congress and President for the next lets say 25 years. History will only tell. What Bill Clinton did in the Whitehouse was plant a seed that continues to grow.

  Democrats are so intellgient it's not funny, they want to make America intelligent by getting the children to see who's responsible for the new books and that new School and those new clothes Mommy? Daddy? It's neither...it's Democrats.

Republicans destroy everything Democrats are trying to fix up and this perennial battle between Democrats and Republicans has been a fight since the start of time and Democrats changed the playing cards and switched and have changed their views and look at today's children as the anwers to Political power in the U.S, I shiiiit you not.

Influence? h**l yea...it works.

Now smile and have a nice day!

Answer 2

I think they have a right to choose who they please. They also have more money than we do to share. Hopefully they will choose the right person and portray them right.  

Answer 3

Well they're Americans too, so they have a right to.

Answer 4

Celeb's don't influence my views on life and the world in general...they may back whomever they choose, it doesn't influence me.

Why is this in Marriage & Divorce?

Answer 5

No, I'm from Canada...doesn't really happen here but it  does make interesting television! By the way what does politics have to do with family & relationships?

Answer 6

It used to but not anymore.  Hopefully most people are intelligent enough to think for themselves without the endorsement or influence of any celebrity.

Answer 7

It really doesn't impact me personally.  I think it's rather silly to be honest.  The thing that bothers me more is knowing that there are voters out there who will mindlessly vote for a candidate based on what Tom Cruise has to say.  They have no understanding of the political process or what the candidates stand for, but if the nutso who makes movies says someone will be a good president, it must be true.  These people scare the c**p out of me.  I swear, people should have to pass a test to vote.  

Answer 8

i only wonder why celebrities think we have any interest in their opinions.  Just another example of over inflated egos.
