If you endorse somebody it says to the public (the electorate) this is the guy I agree with- that is the point. There is no arguing that statement. Meat has dented his reputation with this endorsement which was accompanied by a painful performance- and this time it was totally self inflicted.

He didn't just pick a candidate out of two, he basically said THIS IS THE CANDIDATE I ALWAYS WAITED FOR so I do what I never did before and Endorse this guy. He endorsed the guy. Which means he likes him a lot more than just for one agenda point. Don't tell me in the past Meat didn't have a candidate he thought was best for the economy. Yet now he goes public on it? Puhleaasssee If that's the case you better agree on all fundamental issues... which oddly enough Meat now claims he does not... Hmmmmmmmm Quote:
Basically he's ondoing all his -pro-gay stuff from the past by picking a candidate that turns the clock back for gay people... Hmmmmmmmmmmm again, if this is Meat's stand today, fine. But have the balls, or rather a backbone to come out for it. Millions of Romney fans do... You can't go both ways. |

When there are only two real viable candidates I find it quite insulting to suggest that when you support republicans this automatically equals homophobia.
Shocking generalisation in fact. Some of the stuff posted here is akin to bullying as well. Ie. vote for Obama or you are a homophobe you filthy pig. ? WTF? Meat is not a homophobe or against women's rights in my opinion. You only have to look at a few hard core liberals such as Michael Moore and Bruce Springsteen (listen to his Wrecking Ball album) to find out many don't agree with a large part of Obama's Wall Street / banking support policies yet they both still come out and endorse Obama to the brim. What I find sad is that both parties in the States couldn't work together to sort out the national debt problem, instead they just raised the debt ceiling and left the problem for another day. Quite a childish resolution. Both parties should have done something about this. So in this case, who do you vote for? Ie. it makes no difference with regards to many policies.

He could have used his one vote to count for the candidate he supported, but no, he publicly endorsed the candidate running under these policies and therefore made himself answerable to them. It is utter bulls--- if Meat proposes that WE should argue with OUR family and friends in favor of a guy who's policies he in some instances apparently completely disagrees with, yet didn't have the balls to say so at the rally when he was busy getting people to chant that guy's name like the brainless sycophants he obviously thinks those who would be swayed by his endorsement must be.

I've yet to come across a celebrity that close to an election will endorse a presidential candidate 80% or 90%. In a two horse race you will have to put your money on someone, you can't realistically wishy washy between them.

Why are you upset? You're not a Republican, correct? No one here as far as I know said Meat was anti-gay, women, or anything eles. Unfortunately and I'll specific here. When it comes to issues concerning the lgbt community Republican policies are not in their favor. |

When it's your first endorsement in 40 years, and you decide to use your celebrity, endorsing a candidate whom you disagree with on such huge issues as civil liberties, gay rights and women rights, that seems like a very peculiar decision indeed. |

You can hardly NOT expect a discussion when the artist we are talking about has made such a statement this week. But if this gets locked that's fine with me. It won't be the first time a thread is getting locked that has generated vast interest in which everyone has been able to express their opinions.

Cheers.
Since this is all about voting, I'd like to pose a couple of questions (for anyone) that I alluded to earlier. Do you think this has done anybody any good? In other words, do you think Romney is more likely to win because of Meat's appearance and endorsement/do you think it has helped Meat Loaf in any way? Do you think this has harmed Meat's relationship with some of his fans and caused them to feel uncomfortable or ask questions of him that hadn't previously been an issue?

He will not win. I don't think this has helped meat. I'm struggling with his actions right now. |

I do think Meat's endorsement will have alienated a few fans, it's clear from the reactions. Some of that will probably blow over. Will it harm record sales or concert tickets? His weak performance will probably have had more of an influence on that I think. |

And given what he wanted to achieve I think that was a glaring tactical error on Obama's part. Will Romney, if elected, do any better? I don't know. What I do know is that I support Meat's right to make a choice and support that candidate, without my suggesting he doesn't know what he's doing, has ruined his career, has called into question his integrity and compassion, and even his long established practice of being at ease with people whatever their sexual orientation and supportive of women.
