Joe Perry Endorses John McCain
Joe Perry has decided to throw his vote toward John McCain. So if you are keeping track it is is:
John McCain Barack Obama
Country Music Stars Rock Stars
Joe Perry Dixie Chicks
Paris Hilton Hollywood
Bruce Springsteen
Pearl Jam
Neil Young
Due to the overwhelming support of Barack Obama from Rock stars and Hollywood, it is clear John McCain is the winner. No one listens to rock stars and celebrities on who they are voting for.
“We pretty much stay out of it, but seeing so many people come out for Obama, I just felt like ‘What the hell, I might as well raise my hand for this side,” Perry said from his Duxbury home.
The Bay State rockers have done a few fund-raisers for the Kennedy family over the years, but Perry’s endorsement of McCain marks a first for the platinum-selling guitarist/songwriter. A lifelong Republican, he said he was inspired to come forward because of ringing McCain endorsements from Rudy Giuliani and California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
“I’ve been a hardcore Republican my whole life,” he told the Herald. “My mother and father drilled into me from the very start that if you work hard and be positive, you’ll get what you’re working for. I guess I’m living proof of that.”
Of criticism about McCain’s age, Perry said: “My mother’s in her 80s and she does aerobics. My manager’s 70 and he’s right there. That doesn’t bother me.”
And despite lopsided polls, he urged his fans to get out and vote.
“I’m an optimist. It ain’t over till its over,” he said. “I think that he’s got a chance.”

Not to mention most of the polls are more lopsided than it seems. If you look at Yahoo, Obama is killing it. If you look at AOL, McCain is the clear winner. CNN - Obama. Fox News - too close to call. I say, poll school children. They are going to go with whoever their parents say.
Two more points.
A) Only schoolchildren should be excused for voting based on somebody's beliefs other than their own. If you listen to celebrities, rockstars, country stars, etc.. you shouldn't be allowed to vote.
B) The polls today mean nothing. The last two elections had the eventual winner tracking to be blown away all the way into election day. It is a crock of shit.
Side note - how are we still using the electoral college in 2008?

Oh shut the fuck up already and watch a horse race. If voting changed anything it would be illegal.
