LoC: You’re BOTH sellouts!

But it’s a pretty good assumption that you lose a connection with your fans if you decide to publicly support a candidate if it’s someone that the fans don’t particularly care for. John Rich, a full-fledged McCain supporter (note: he actually sang “Walk the Line” for Fred Thompson first), was recently asked about alienating his fan base, to which he stated:

“I’d rather take a risk than keep my mouth shut and see someone else become president.”

John Rich’s website is all about Raisin’ McCain. Barbara Streisand recently held a fundraiser to support Obama. Though, she’s been supporting the Democratic candidates since McGovern so her fans should be used to her political views by now.

The funny thing is, on the day of Obama’s Hollywood party McCain was hanging out with us ‘common people’ and mockingly said:

“Let me tell you, friends, there’s no place I’d rather be than here with the hard-working men and women of Ohio.”

First, he uses the word ‘friends’ WAAAAAAY too much. Secondly, he’s a hypocrite because he held his own Hollywood parties.

So Obama and McCain. I’m officially calling you out as sellouts. BOTH of you. I know they both would say they need the money to finance the campaign to reach their core audiences, but come on — seriously? And Hollywood, I wish you would just stick to something like this:
