Lindsay Lohan came out in support of Mitt Romney yesterday.
While most would, at first glance, write this off as gossip, it's the latest instance of an evolving trend that jeopardizes President Obama's chance at winning the White House.
Lohan, by all accounts, is a typical low-information voter. And low information voters, like it or not, will decide this election.
The first person to pick out this trend was Dave Weigel after sportswriter Buzz Bissinger endorsed Romney after his positive debate performance. Bissinger, Weigel notes, was a low information voter. He watched the debate, took everyone's word for it on the facts, and backed Romney.
As Weigel notes, it's not like either side was falling over themselves to score the lusted-after and enviable Bissinger endorsement.
But Bissinger is emblematic of millions of Americans. These people don't follow politics and plan to vote based on what little information they've gleaned.
Wrestler Hulk Hogan has backed Romney because he wants someone to "just take the lead and run."
Lohan said that the reason she was voting Romney was "employment." From The Blaze:
I just think employment is really important right now, the troubled star told E!, while at Mr. Pinks Ginseng Drink event in Beverly Hills, California, on Thursday. So, as of now, Mitt Romney. As of now.
Here's why the Obama campaign should be worried.
Lohan is a low information voter convinced that (a) employment is really important, (b) thinks that employment is not being sufficiently handled by the White House right now and (c) thinks that Mitt Romney is better equipped to handle employment.
That arguably logical sequence is all that it takes for a low-information voter to support Mitt Romney. The thing is, there are millions of voters like her. That should terrify the Obama campaign.

You know, I don’t really follow most of these new stars and starlets.
The names and faces are pretty much interchangeable to me. They come and they go, for the most part spouting liberal BS and nonsense...so I tune them out.
A few stand out here and there...but for the most part, they’re pretty moot, worthless, and talentless.
Lindsay's father is an active Republican---news reports say
he has been visible in Repub campaigns in his home state.
“Lohan, by all accounts, is a typical low-information voter. And low information voters, like it or not, will decide this election. “
we are screwed. Even if Mitt wins over the clueless, err low information voters for one election there is no telling what they will do later.
BTW, the while Democrat election strategy is to motivate the clueless to get outand vote, that is why the voter ID laws get them so upset.
Eva Longoria's boobs can discern who is racist and who is not----b/c she's got technologically advanced implants.
Eva's implants have x-ray cams that can detect hidden racism in the brain of anyone in her boob sights.
Eva's right boob x-rays the left frontal lobe---and her left boob x-rays the right frontal lobe. Eva then gets a signal that notifies her racism is eminent......her nipples start vibrating.
Eva's x-ray cam boobs.......ready to vibrate.
==============================================
"I have extra-sensory ex-ray cams implanted in my gonads."
"I can find racism no matter how deep-seated.
The x-ray cam scans a brain and I get a signal.
My penis starts vibrating and points to the racist."
"When I heard a white Repub say 'PGA tour'
I started vibrating. I knew that was code for
'deep-rooted white insecurities about black male sexuality.'
========================================
Another Obamanite who got x-ray detecting implants is the under-endowed teacher who said "peanut butter and jelly sandwiches" was actually hatred againt immigrants (b/c they do not eat PBJ's).
“A few stand out here and there...but for the most part, theyre pretty moot, worthless, and talentless.”
Completely agree and for the reasons you mentioned.
Good on her. At least she’s got guts to not just follow the Hollywood crowd over the cliff like a typical brainless lemming lib.
Takes guts to come out and oppose the leftards in Hollywood. Like Clint said, there’s a lot of us, they’re just quiet about it.
” BTW, the while Democrat election strategy is to motivate the clueless to get outand vote, that is why the voter ID laws get them so upset. “
Of course.
for haledude...LL = nice rack...but i agree that i wouldnt recognize most of the new *stars* if i passed em on the street...
Paris Hilton was a pretty +thin babe, I dont remember any rack.
She was on a braindead MTV reality show and then didnt she go into rehab? Otherwise she was born rich and dumb.
I miss anything?
McCain would have been better off if she sided with O.
Racks, I recognize...
Hilton’s pretty, but she has that dull, vapid, vacuous glaze in her eyes...comes from having every single thing she ever wanted handed to her. And there is very little rackage on that twit.
They’re all of them a dime a dozen.
No Rita Hayworths, Lana Turners, Veronica Lakes, or Lizzie Taylors amongst them.
Lizzie, in her day was absolutely stunning. Rita Hayworth, too...
Classy, with a hint of “OMG!!!!!!!!” lurking just below the surface.
Today, it’s all about who can out-slut each other. Trash.
Not that I’d bump them from the boudoir, mind you...but...
RE Hilton: No, no rackage there. Raisins on a skateboard. The whole malnourished waif thing going on with that one.
Never went for that look on a woman. Like the curves and shape of say, Sophia Loren, Raquel Welch, Marilyn Monroe. I’m old school.
I believe the old-school term is “Built For Speed”...
” No Rita Hayworths, Lana Turners, Veronica Lakes,
You have excellent taste!!
Rita and Veronica....SMOKIN!!
The word “Beautiful” comes to mind, and not just a shallow sense of it.
There was something those ladies that just said “American Class”. You could see them on the USO tours helping to keep troops’ morale up during WWII.
Marlene Dietrich was another one. Gorgeous lady, and the GIs loved her. Betty Grable too. Stunning legs, angelic face.
I think I was born in the wrong part of the century, my friend. I hate this time and place; my old man was WWII Airborne, and I’d have traded places with him in a heartbeat. Those were our people back then, our culture, our heritage - OUR people. We spoke the same language, had the same cultural backgrounds - albeit from a few dozen or so European countries way back - but they all considered themselves American first.
We’ve let the left dilute, water down, and outright subvert everything that our folks fought and bled for.
I watch the old movies, and it’s just angering and saddening at the same time.
Do you see that too, or is it just me...
I think you’d enjoy “Midnight in Paris” if you haven’t seen it. It addresses this very topic in a very, very entertaining way. Allen even takes some digs at conservatism and it doesn’t really detract from the message.
Aside from Allen’s puerile jabs, its a classic.
I’m not familiar with that one, but I’ll look for it, thank you!!
” I think I was born in the wrong part of the century, my friend. I hate this time and place; my old man was WWII Airborne, and Id have traded places with him in a heartbeat.

I feel exactly the same way.
” Weve let the left dilute, water down, and outright subvert everything that our folks fought and bled for.

Yep, both. My favorite films are from 1930-1960, as a rule.
We are probably romanticizing an earlier era a bit, but I wouldn’t miss most of the stuff we have now, that we didn’t have then.
What we DON’T have anymore to a large extent is
Freedom
Privacy
“..We are probably romanticizing an earlier era a bit, ..”
You know what - maybe not so much. I was a 15 year old kid when my old man died, and I was kept in line by my uncles and Dad’s cousins - all Pacific Marines and Army Infantry. The were the real deal; I watched them, observed them, learned from them. The were frigging GIANTS to me.
Man, they BLED red, white and blue. I went to the Memorial Day services and Veteran’s Day services with my dad while I was little, pushing him in his wheelchair. He was paralyzed, had to salute with his left hand. He had tears in his eyes, as did the other vets there, as Taps was played.
The respect they showed the flag, their country, and each other was something I’ve not seen since. My old North Philly neighborhood - flags everywhere, not just on July 4th, but everyday (I do that now, and my neighborhood now has a lot of retired military and LEOs, and its the same).
When dad died, my uncles and the men from the American Legion and VFW helped my family with food, and bills until Mom got on her feet again.
So I don’t think it’s romanticized so much as it is just something that I miss deeply and achingly - and try to cultivate now with my own neighbors.
Sure they were Italian, Irish, German, Polish, descent etc., but they were American first, and thought of themselves as American first and always. They were the first to put aside their differences, drop what they doing, and run to the aid of ANY American that needed help.
FIERCE Americanism...the kind that still chokes me up when I think of it.
We, out here, have a sense of that as well, still. But it was the country at large back then, not just chunks of folks here and there. No red states and blue states. I hate that whole demographic thing that’s been foisted on us, but it what it is. And now we have large hostile ethnic communities that have ZERO ties to our past, and our culture, and their only goal is to take, take, take.
It boils down to this: I want my country back.
Maybe we’ll never get it back. But I’ll settle for a piece of it in my own neighborhood, and do what I can to foster it.
Maybe that’s all we CAN do, at the end of the day.
” Ive not seen since. My old North Philly neighborhood - flags everywhere, not just on July 4th, but everyday (I do that now,”
so do I, as do many of my neighbors in AZ.
” So I dont think its romanticized so much as it is just something that I miss deeply and achingly “
As do I.
” Sure they were Italian, Irish, German, Polish, descent etc., but they were American first, and thought of themselves as American first and always”
I know this well, having grown up in the 1960’s.
” And now we have large hostile ethnic communities that have ZERO ties to our past, and our culture, and their only goal is to take, take, take.”
The goal of the left is to destroy e pluribus unum. The best way to destroy a country you hate, is to balkanize it, pitting one against the other.
” It boils down to this: I want my country back.”
Scratch out a corner of it, and stay vigilant. It may happen
Raquel Welch is still smokin...
as far as PH goes, definately a no t!tt!ed bonerack...be like humpin a privacy fence or a sawhorse...but shell be useful when it comes time to teach Boy Scouts how to get that Eagle badge for bananna eating...
Kathleen Turner was a Dem channel show today bitching about Romney, man she is fat and haggardly looking.
Remember Romancing the Stone? Who is she appealing to? The Hillary voters?
