I don't even know where to start, but here goes.

I have debated on getting involved in this, but since I am a voting American I feel the need to express my thoughts.

I lean conservative more than liberal, I am a registered republican (only because you have to register with one side or the other). However, I have voted democrat, republican, and third party in some local elections. Hell, I threw my support behind Ron Paul for the last several years, and I still believe in his way of thinking, but within our system, a third party candidate has no chance of winning. Sad, but true.

I voted for Obama in 2008, and will likely do so again in 2012. Obama has done a lot of things that have not been good for this country, but Mitt Romney is not the answer. Never has been, never will be. Meat, has thrown his support behind Romney, I for one think that is a mistake. Does it make Meat an elitest homophobe, no it does not.

I am a registered republican, but I disagree with their thoughts on abortion and gay rights just to name a few. People are people; gay, straight, black, white, muslim, christian, or anything in between. Everyone deserves the same rights.

Side note, many republicans like to say that they believe in the biblical definition of marriage. Well, dust off the old testament and take a look at what it "defines" as marriage and it will make these people look even kookier that they do now.

Throwing your support behind a candidate does not mean that you support everything that a candidate says, but when you do it grand style as a celebrity, it makes it look like you fully support the candidate. Meat will have to deal with the flack that comes from that, but I am sure he was fully aware of that when he made the decision.

I may not agree with what Meat did or why he did it, but I would forever defend his right to do so as an American.
