Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry says he’s supporting Republican presidential nominee John McCain.
“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,’ ” he tells the Boston Herald.
We’re sure McCain appreciates the endorsement, but isn’t it a little too late? Nonetheless, Perry’s endorsement rounds of a trifecta of celebrity support, which also includes Puerto Rican/Latin hip-hop artist Daddy Yankee and Wilford Brimley (a.k.a. the Quaker Oats guy.)

joe perry has always been and will always be a god to me.
^^^ lol.
Rock On!
“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,’ â€
If that doesn’t sound like a sympathy vote nothing does lol. Love Joe much and can say sometimes my heart fights itself over who gets first dibs between him and *Keef* “the human riff” Richard, but this is still a sympathy vote. Wilford Brimley? Like we didn’t already know this?! And Daddy Yankee? Please, as a Latino and fellow Cuban, is this supposed to shock anyone? His mami has probably threatened his fine behind if he didn’t lol.

But serious, for the first time in like 50yrs not so many of my fellow Cubanoamericanos are in automatic lockstep with the Repulicans ( ¡gracias a Dios!), and the younger of us are ready for a new day and that ain’t McCain-Palin at all. I’m past ready for the embargo to end, and the ban lifted on travel. If we can do business with Communist China we can lift these Cuba restrictions. China IS a communist country too no matter how much America tries to forget this in favor of making money.
What a tool ! ! !
Is this a recent picture? He looks scrumptious.
there are more celeb endorsements for McCain then you think.
Bruce Willis is one among many.
Bruce Willis has always endorsed the right so this is nothing new. I’m sure there are more, but these are the ones I remember just from seeing or hearing. The only one I was suprised about was Kelsey Grammer. There’s no real reason I have other than it just took me by surprised the same way I felt when Christopher Buckley, Eisenhowers, Goldwaters, Nixon’s, and a few more of the conservative right tossed in with Obama.

Uh, #10 Anon…………..did you NOT read my post at all? Did you not read that I am Cuban? And guess what? I not only talk to 2 generations of exiles daily, I even eat their food most sundays let alone a few days in the week! 75% Of my quite large immediate and extended cuban american family in Miami, Chicago, Jersey and Indiana is either undecided are pro Obama and so please don’t assume if one is cubano it’s a given we all think the same or believe the same because you would be wrong…..

both candidates endorsements should STFU
11…..his reasons are better than the typical “because he’s black” reason often cited by Obama supporters, isn’t it?
15….I spent many years living in Miami and have friends who escaped cuba with only the shirts on their back having lost all their assets to Castro and his socialist thugs. They know what it’s like to have an all-powerful gov’t that controls every aspect of their lives—all in the name of “the people”, of course. A gov’t that decides how much income you should have, what kind of healthcare you should have and what kind of education you should have. The very road Obama wishes to take this country. Unfortunately, many of the younger Cuban-American generation are so far removed from the tyranny of socialism that they’ve rejected the experience and values of their parents and grandparents who know better. This is symptomatic of a larger trend with liberals—an ignorance of historical precedent, which dooms them and everyone they drag with them with their vote, to repeat the mistakes of the past. Whether it be the failures of socialist policies, appeasement, punitive taxes or protectionism.
Perry is a brave man and deserves credit for speaking out for his beliefs in an industry so intolerant of independent thought and so vindictive against those who refuse to walk lock-step with the leftist agenda.
17…….Thanks for that list “Obama’s endorsement”! Very informative
So Sean Penn and Danny Glover support Obama. The same Sean Penn and Danny Glover that also spend time in Venezuela hanging out with the socialist thug, Hugo Chavez. Shocking that they would also support Obama, don’t you think “TheMirror”?
hey!
