Meat Loaf endorses Romney at rally in Defiance
Toledo Blade ^ | October 25, 2012

Posted on 10/25/2012 6:58:59 PM PDT by SMGFan

DEFIANCE, Ohio - Mitt Romney rallied a large crowd in the high school football stadium here tonight after surprise musical guest Meat Loaf belted out an endorsement for the Republican presidential nominee to the crowd of 12,000 people.

Mr. Romney ended a three-city tour of Ohio here and then was to stay overnight at the Hilton Toledo Hotel, with no public events planned.

He is expected to fly out of Toledo Express Airport Friday morning to go to a campaign event in another swing state, Iowa, before returning for a rally Friday night in North Canton, Ohio.

Meat Loaf said he has never taken a public stand but said 2012 is the most important election in the history of the U.S.

"One thing you've been taught all your life is never argue politics or religion with your friends. 2012 is different," he said, telling people to argue on Mr. Romney's behalf. "I called three Democrats and got two of them to switch to Romney, so two out of three ain't bad."

Mr. Romney tailored his remarks to middle-aged workers, young people, and parents. He told college students that, "I know the President wants to get college students to come out and vote for him, but if they do, they're making a big mistake. Half of them won't be able to find a job or at least not one consistent with their college degree."

He said they'll also be stuck with "debts wracked up by me and my generation."

He vowed to cut federal spending, cap federal spending as a percentage of the economy, and get the country on track to a balanced budget. He claimed that health insurance costs will skyrocket because of Obamacare, which he said he would repeal.

I met Meat Loaf back in the 1980s, when I interviewed his then wife Leslie for a book. Meat is very, very intelligent.. He’s also from Texas.

“So now I’m praying for the end of the term
To hurry up and arrive
‘Cause if I gotta spend another minute with you
I don’t think that I can really survive

Much better endorsement than uncle obie getting “honey boo boo’s” endorsement. Really?! I suppose that all the TLC and Bravo “casts” support the clownmander-in-chief. He’s gotta go.

Helping keep mankind warm for 65 years.

Let us pray families who have historically voted democrat along Lake Erie begin to comprehend the damage living in a socialst nation will do to their children and grandchildren in years to come. It’s been terrible economically the past four years and unless they’re living in a cave, they know something drastic has to happen (Obama out of office) to get us back on the right track again!
