Re: Thumbs up! (2.00 / 1)

Wait, wait, wait. Ted Kennedy's endorsement means nothing, but that he's ignoring the will of the people in his own state. John Kerry's endorsement means nothing, but that he's on the "change" bandwagon and is still bitter about his 2004 loss. Oprah's endorsement means nothing, but that she's over excited and shouldn't get involved anyway. Bill Richarson's endorsement means nothing, but that he's a "Judas" and a traitor. John Edwards' endorsement means nothing, but that he's lobbying for a cabinet position and is weak.

But Ricky Martin's endorsement is important?

Yeah, no.

its a JOKE. actually, it may also be part serious. Latinos are a big bloc, and its migration to Bush is what got him into the White House twice. IF Gore had done as well with Latinos as Bill Clinton had in 1996, he'd have won decisively enough to pass the Court and collect the White House AND 200 dollars..

Re: Thumbs up! (2.00 / 2)

Hillary Clinton que está casado con el presidente del adúltero vive en un estado de la negación. Ella tiene un equipo brillante de las relaciones públicas el trabajar las veinticuatro horas del día para darle una nueva imagen de trabajo. Ella tiene un funcionamiento astuto de la máquina política para hacerla en un combatiente que apenas quiera cuál es nunca el mejor para la gente. Ella es falsificación. Ella merece haber perdido esta raza. ¡Vive de largo Sr. siguiente Barack Obama del Presidente de los Estados Unidos!

Puerto Rico considers Ricky a hometown recording super star, and as such an endorsment coming from him can only help to reinforce the support Hillary already enjoys there. Very welcome news indeed!

I put zero stock in presidential endorsements coming from celebrities.

I put even less into those coming from the likes of Ricky Martin, especially when endorsing a candidate who does not have any realistic chance of winning.

But up the rec list this will go!

Re: weren't you the one squealing (2.00 / 2)

While I admit to squealing over Hanks, it was solely in reaction to his unbelievable performance in the movie 'Big,' not because of any political endorsements.

(Sidenote: wouldn't it strike you, Dog, as a bit much to see a diary celebrating Tom Hank's endorsement of Obama on the rec list?)

I do not dismiss celebrity's endorsements.
No matter what people may think RM is very popular in PR.
I am sure you did not dismiss or ridicule when Oprah
came out for Obama. So I will not ridicule RM

However, even if Sen. Clinton got all the PR delegates it would not matter.
SD's are not worried how PR will vote in the Fall.
The biggest PR vote is from NYC (where they can by law vote)and they will vote Dem in the fall.

But, really, this is a huge game-changing event in the campaign. It doesn't surprise me that Hillary waited until right now to unload the Martin endorsement. If there's anything to get the superdelegates' attention, it's the endorsement of Ricky Martin. That this isn't the lead story on every network is further evidence of the media bias during this election cycle.

"Voters" (none / 0)

Puerto Ricans are unable to vote in the general election. They have a smaller population than many of our actual states but have an inordinately higher delegate apportionment. I just don't get it.

I would love to see PR become a state and obtain full voting rights, but until then I don't think they should be participating in our primaries. They don't even have our two party system.

Disclaimer: yes, I'm an Obama supporter and yes I would be saying this if Obama were to win PR. In fact, I think he has a relatively good chance. I still feel deeply uncomfortable with the situation.

Why stop with Menudo? If she could get the endorsement of the New Kids on the Block and combine that with the Backstreet Boys (valuable Florida voters), she could have a enormous lead in the Washed-Up Boy Band delegation.

The New Kids are supposedly in the cards too. Why do you think they reunited? Just wait for the "Hillary 4 U & Me" cover...

To be literal for one second, though, Ricky Martin is about as cool now as mid-summer in the ninth layer of hell.

How silly. Gee, being he hasn't been a member of Menudo since he was 17, one would not even associate a need.

Did you receive permission from your parents before voting?

Judging by the indiscriminate recs that go on for any diary positive about Hillary regardless of substance, maybe it's some of you Hillary fans who need parents permission to rec here.
So before you question other peoples immaturity, check yours first.

Seriously, when celebs endorsed OBama, I do not recall those diaries receiving many recs.

Re: Rupert Murdock for Barack Obama (none / 0)

Rupert Murdoch, chairman and CEO of News Corporation -- owner of Fox News Channel, and the New York Post, among other platforms many consider conservative -- was practically gushing about ....liberal Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois.

"He's become a rock star, it's fantastic," Murdoch said.

Yep..how dare someone speak out against the illegal madness of Viet Nam...
I know you were not born then...cool.
But you were alive when McWars and Clinton told Bush
Go ahead in 2002...

Well maybe we should send them a memo that its over. It is amazing that you can lose 12 states in a row, and not even compete, but somehow that is discounted. I use to like Hillary, but now I really really really hate her.

Livin La Vida Loca

Livin' La Vida Loca lyrics

She's into superstitions black cats and voodoo dolls.
I feel a premonition that girl's gonna make me fall.
She's into new sensations new kicks in the candle light.
She's got a new addiction for every day and night.

She'll make you take your clothes off and go dancing in the rain.
She'll make you live her crazy life but she'll take away your pain
like a bullet to your brain. Come On!

[CHORUS:]
Upside, inside out she's livin la vida loca
She'll push and pull you down, livin la vida loca
Her lips are devil red and her skin's the color mocha
She will wear you out livin la vida loca Come On!
Livin la vida loca, Come on!
She's livin la vida loca.

Woke up in New York City in a funky cheap hotel
She took my heart and she took my money
she must've slipped me a sleeping pill
She never drinks the water and makes you order French Champagne
Once you've had a taste of her you'll never be the same
Yeah, she'll make you go insane.

[CHORUS]

She'll make you take your clothes off and go dancing in the rain.
She'll make you live her crazy life
but she'll take away your pain like a bullet to your brain. Come On!

by grlpatriot on Thu May 29, 2008 at 08:01:43 PM EST

The Ricky bashing in this diary is ridiculous. If he would have endorsed Obama, Ofans would be talking about how enlightened he was, download his songs on iTunes, and would probably hold vigils for him. Your repetitive trashing anything 'not-Obama' is just so obnoxious.

Let's be honest here: Ricky Martin is laughable. No celebrity endorser means anything, with perhaps the slight exception of Oprah in South Carolina.

Obama has had people like:

Robert DeNiro
Bruce Springsteen
Jay-Z
George Clooney
Scarlett Johanssen
Jessica Biel
Jennifer Aniston
Brad Pitt
Stevie Wonder

etc.

WHO CARES? These people probably moved five votes between all of them.

by hankg on Thu May 29, 2008 at 08:15:42 PM EST

That's good for Hillary but here in the US Obama has passed Hillary in Hispanic support according to the Gallup tracking polls.

And among Latin artists in PR and elsewhere Obama is the big favorite. Artists on this video are originally from all over Spain, Mexico, PR, Colombia.

I heard on Spanish language radio in Miami that Calle 13 had come out for Obama. They are the hottest group out of PR in the last couple of years and are what young Latinos in PR and on the east coast are actually listening to. Here they are performing in Chile on tour and showing GWB some love.
