Katy Perry or Meatloaf ???

Last edited Fri Oct 26, 2012, 12:48 AM - Edit history (2)

Was just monitoring the Romney Rally in 'Defiance Ohio' (on a live link) waiting on President Obama's Rally in Cleavland tonight. Anyway at the Romney Rally ... Meatloaf just performed and said paraphrased "Obama thinks the Cold War is over" and something about "gotta watch that guy Putin blah blah blah" .... Oh boy ...

So I went to Twitter to monitor the Romney Rally in Defiance Ohio. The tweets were like off the hook ... well actually ... maybe 1 every 2 or three minutes and not all that enthusiastic . So I recalled doing the same thing last night during President Obama's Rally in Las Vegas where Katy Perry performed ... now those tweets were really off the hook and I couldn't keep up. Checked back today and they were still going insane about last nights Obama Rally. Not that this means anything right?

Pretty amusing anyway ... Oh and by the way we have Alicia Keys with the President Tomorrow ....

Meatloaf about a half hour ago .... Romney Rally on right now ...







Katy Perry Last night ... President Obama Rally ...







10 Minute Video of the Vegas Rally, Katy Perry followed by The President at about 6:40 into the vid.
Lots of Enthusiasm especially when Barack Obama comes on stage.





And Alicia Key Tomorrow ... with The President ...


http://foxync.com/2614002/breaking-news-alicia-keys-in-raleigh-tomorrow/

A few tweets ... a bit ago tonight ...










Live stream on Romney Rally right now ... and President Obama's Rally in Cleavland immediately following ...

http://losangeles.cbslocal.com/cbs-news-live-feed/

What's this about Enthusiasm ??? If the tweets are any measurement ... well think you get my drift. GOTV !!!

on edit: Oh yeah we got 'The Boss' Bruce Springsteen too ... carry on.




OH MY CHECK OUT THIS THREAD (VIDEO) LOL ...

I can't stand either one of them. Ever since the "You're so gay" incident, I can't stand Katy Perry.

Meatloaf never even made it into my radar as someone I cared about.

It's like picking between Jeffrey Dahmer endorsing you or Ted Bundy.

You wouldn't know anything about it. He's also a washed up singer with only a couple of songs I like.

Katy Perry: Don't like her music. But she's young, enthusiastic, positive, charming, and attractive.

I'll take Katy

But let me take the opportunity to say Fuck Katy Perry and her homophobic self. She's nearly as big an asshole as Meatloaf, and possibly a bigger one because she pretends to be more palatable.

Fuck Katy Perry. When she stops being a homophobic bigot that makes fun of people that are gay, I might start having an open mind about her again. As it stands, I have no reason but to see her as a person that takes every opportunity to ridicule the GLBT community.

who Katy Perry is.

But I assume everything you said was 100% correct.

(For the record I really don't know very much about Meatloaf either. I was outside of the US during the 80s and 90s
and missed all kinds of cultural references)

But I've got to admit he has one terrific set of pipes. Too bad about his politics.

I know nothing about Katy Perry. Not sure if I've ever heard a song of hers (I have a pre-teen daughter, so it's possible), but if she's going to support Obama, then I like her. Her legs are nicer than Meatloaf's too.

has repeatedly ridiculed the gay community. I don't get thrilled when a person that attempts to demean another person by singing "you are so gay" and repeatedly has made homophobic statements in an effort to be cute endorses anyone.

I could care less who she endorses, because she is a bigot, lacks class and thankfully isn't an American citizen.
