living in a bubble...


that was the first thing that came to my mind too. This guy has no clue what the real world is like.

[Sentient Void]

WTF.

Isn't this the guy that uhhh... just endorsed Ron Paul?

Ron Paul and Obama are on completely opposite sides of the spectrum.

He's very, very confused.

I don't think he ever "endorsed" Ron Paul...He just said he agrees with almost everything he says. The right-wing talk radio hosts just lied a wee bit about the endorsement, for entertainment value.

It doesn't matter right now. Obama is not running in the Republican primary where Manilow is currently supporting Paul. Lets take that nomination from the neocons cold dead hands THEN discuss Manilow's preference.

This is why I was trying to be the sober voice of reason a couple of weeks ago, because I pointed out that he donated big to Hillary Clinton in 08. He is very confused.

So does this mean we're going to wind down campaign operations?

lol and I was just about to buy one of his albums (and not listen to it) just to show support. Thanks for stopping that action. I think I'll donate the 9.99 to revolutionpac.com instead.

Et tu, Manilow?

I think I'll donate the 9.99 to revolutionpac.com instead.

Or the End of Quarter Push...? :D

From the article:

“Although I agree with some of what Ron Paul says, I am not actually endorsing him in the 2012 presidential race, nor have I ever told anyone that I was.” Seems that while Manilow made an eye-catching $2,300 contribution to the Texas congressman’s 2008 campaign, he also — like many showbiz colleagues — sprinkled cash equally on Obama, Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton during the primary, plus $28,500 to the Obama Victory Fund. And he plans to vote for Obama next year. “He loves his president,” a rep said.

If Barry donates like that to Paul again, I don't care who he ultimately endorses.

Or the End of Quarter Push...? :D

I maxed out in Q1 to the official campaign.
