KiD RoCk On PoLiTiCs

Kid Rock told CMT celebrity endorsement of political candidates only hurts those candidates:

"I truly believe that people like myself, who are in a position of entertainers in the limelight, should keep their mouth shut on politics. Because at the end of the day, let me tell you what I ’m good at: I’m good at writing songs and singing. What I’m not educated in is the field of political science. And so for me to be sharing my views and influencing people of who I think they should be voting for … I think would be very irresponsible on my part. So I’ll just keep my mouth shut on that. I think celebrity endorsements hurt politicians. Because as soon as somebody comes out for a politician, especially in Hollywood, when they all go, ’I’m voting for this guy!’ — I go, ’That’s not who I’m voting for!’ … As soon as Oprah Winfrey pops up and goes ’Ha-la-la-la-la,’ I’m like, ’I love Barrack Obama. I hate Oprah Winfrey.’ I don’t hate her. I just don’t believe in her, so I don’t want any part of any of that. I think celebrities hurt politicians."

It is because of celebrites like Oprah, and Matt Damon, that Sarah Palin has become even more appealing to voters in America.
