Who is Celine Dion backing ?

You came and you gave without taking.. 

Ron Paul ReLOVEloution has Barry

I fear that Mr. Manilow has gotten too much plastic surgery.

The fact that Manilow doesn’t like Rand Paul just tells you what a liberal Manilow is. Seeing as Obama is the complete opposite (more conservative on war issues than Paul even), I welcome the idea that Manilow will vote for any GOP candidate then. :)

Good thing he is rich. Under nitwit Paul, a poor person would die without insurance.

Really, Mediaite? THIS is your top story?
I look forward to finding out what other 70s stars, like C.W. McCall and Thelma Houston think of the presidential race.

Agrees with just about everything Ron Paul says, but is in Washington to support government funding for a disease cure? Doesn’t Manilow know he’s just supposed to die?

People don’t die with insurance?  

Wow, who knew health insurance meant eternal life?

AMAZING!

You thieving leftists don’t understand one simple thing;

HOSPITALS WON’T/CAN’T TURN AWAY PATIENTS.

Keep shifting the issue away from your justification of theft

and I’ll PUT IT RIGHT BACK ON THAT.  I’m sick of the shit system

your theft has created.  We’re on the verge of bankruptcy, because

of your big government policies.  How many WILL DIE WHEN WE GO 

BANKRUPT?  Where’s your bleeding heart then?

You are now the nitwit. People die everyday because they can’t pay for health insurance.

I wonder if Manilow shares Dr. Paul’s love of taking money from white supremacist groups like Stormfront?

Well in 2004 C.W. McCall supported George W. Bush and sang his song Neo-Convoy at a Bush rally in Alabama.

Let me get this straight: Barry Manilow agrees with everything Ron Paul says, but wants the government to fund research into curing a disease, right? Does he know that’s the opposite of what Paul thinks government should be doing? Next thing you know, he’ll be screaming “get your government hands off my Medicare.” This is the problem with American politics – nobody knows how things actually work, they just want whatever they want.

I like Ron Paul too, I would like to see him do a Berry Manilow karaoke and then I would like him to go away.

Snide comments aside, this is a great thing for Paul’s campaign.  Check the crosstabs on the polling data ~ Paul is crushing the numbers with the young, white males, minorities, libertarians, progressives, but hasn’t been able to break with middle to older aged white women.  I don’t claim to understand women, but I know those older ladies love their Manilow, and perhaps they’ll give Paul a fair look after this endorsement.

do you think Barry has any work done on his face?

Hey, I’m not even 40 and I like Barry. 

This was Barry’s complete statement”

Though he plans to vote for Obama again, there is another 2012 presidential contender who has impressed Manilow. “I do like Ron Paul, I do,” said the singer, who has contributed to the Texas congressman in the past. “I think he says really great things.”

I agree with what Stephen Feller said.  Barry should be informed that if he wants the government to fund research for curing a disease that is the opposite of what Ron Paul thinks the government should be doing.

Any hospital with an emergency room HAS to treat you, can’t turn you away. But they only have to treat you enough to stabilize you. And they HAVE to treat you because of a 1986 federal law that says if the hospital takes Medicare they have to treat room in the Emergency Room, regardless of your ability to pay. So if you need emergency care, but can’t pay, you get it, thanks to the “thieving government.” 

No. They die because they have a deadly disease. Nothavinghealthinsuranceosis isn’t a thing last I checked.

Barry actually said he would be voting for Obama again, but that part of the statement was left out.

Was he just in a fight?  His face looks beat up,

He also had kind words for the president. “I love him,” Manilow said, adding that “nobody could to anything better” in his position.

Kudos to the House for stopping the Unions’ tax-payer funded legal firm, the NRLB.

Take a look at the respect the man shows for the vestiges of government.
He exploits them through regulatory machinations, for more power and control.

Hey GOP, don’t give him another penny or another inch!

Let him wail out there, no one’s listening!

I agree. Heath insurance, and the ability to afford a doctor’s care, is meaningless.
What has a doctor ever done to alleviate pain or cure a sick patient?
Nothing.
So if a person can’t afford health care, it doesn’t matter. You were probably going to die anyway.

Well as soon as Boner and Cuntor have their way, there won’t be a federal law OR medicare. Just dying and dying quickly. @google-38413e56d5b35c8863963c7839883c7a:disqus were you asleep in your fat freedom fries and missed 8 years of bumbling Bush? He’s indefensible, so don’t even start. He’s the one who fucked things up with his little bank plan, so suck it. Are you old enough, fat libertard, to remember Ronnie Raygun? He also fucked this country up with HIS spending spree. 

How soon you selfish, deflecting bastards forget. 

Obama has turned out to be more of a republican than most of the pathetic douchebags running for the nom, not a dem. BUT, he’s black so that doesn’t count, right? You should be falling all over yourselves to keep him in office because he keeps giving up everything to the reich. 

AGAIN, if you’re a teabagger and receive social security or medicare checks, please, show us your displeasure with those ‘scary government’ programs by TEARING THEM UP on video. Come on! For all the complaining, I haven’t ONE person do something like that. NOT ONE.

If you believe everything Ron Paul says, but turn around and vote for Obama, you have no principles to speak of.

Now, please mediaite, can you track down mili vanili and find out what they think about the flat tax? For fucks sake.

I wonder what he thinks about Obama’s Black Panther thugs hanging out in front of polling places threatening whitey.

What Jason said. :)

Get government out of health care to lower costs and increase access.
Hospitals can put people on payment plans if they don’t have insurance.

Due to inflation and government intervention/manipulation into the health market, 

things are incredibly expensive.  We need to get government out of it and increase 

competition.  Anytime you socialize something it’ll inevitably become too expensive.

The PROBLEM is AFFORDABILITY which must be dealt with.

If anyone is serious about making health care more affordable, 

increase access and stop being thieving socialists, check out the info below.

Fact: Barry Manilow? He is the a new face in the liberal political arena. To me it just shows how Ron Paul appeals to lefties.

Can’t.  Tell.  If.  Stupid.  Or.  Trolling….

Fact: I just barfed.

Government intervention drives costs down.  The US has the highest cost for healthcare per-capita.  Yes, higher than the French.  Higher than those pinko-commie bastards north of us.  Higher than the dreaded Norwegians.  Higher than {fill in the blank}.  In fact, the neo-con/tea-bagger position was 180 degrees from what you are now saying – industry cannot compete with government.

As for your, “throw it back in our faces” comment earlier concerning hospitals that accept public funding have to treat the sick and injured – it’s the goddamn right thing to do.  In fact, licensed doctors are under oath to do exactly that.  There is no public “option” (aside from what already exists in medicaid/medicare) – all Obama put in was a requirement to have health insurance.  And it makes sense – everyone uses the system.  Be responsible and stop forcing other tax payers to foot your bill.

A better plan is to move to the Canadian system.  Do your research.  Compared to Americans, Canadians are healthier, liver longer, are happier with their health care, get sick less, and have lower rates of severe diseases.  Yeah, their system costs money, but it saves in the long run and drives down costs.  If you want to address costs, then you should be in full support of socialized healthcare.  What you favor is putting a person’s health decisions in the context of profit/loss equations…

Breaking News!….Liberal media astonished that a celebrity would openly disagree with them. 

Well, judging by the picture above, you got the “new face” part right, anyway.

Fact: US doesn’t have the money to do an all out healthcare plan for the population at this time.

I noticed that his nose is closer to his forehead now than it used to be.   Must be the plastic surgery.

You are too too stupid!

We’re
STILL torturing people in secret prisons all over the world. We’re STILL in
Iraq and Afghanistan.  We’re STILL
killing innocent people there. 
And, American troops are STILL coming home in body bags from those
countries as well as from Libya now too.

Obama
drops bombs on Pakistan Yemen and Somalia regularly.  And he handed over Libya to a band of racist Al-CIA-Da agents
who have been patrolling the streets for the last 6 months lynching innocent
black people in broad daylight. 

Imagine
that, America’s first black president knowingly caused the racially motivated
deaths of 40 THOUSAND black people in Africa.

But
you Obama worshipers still support him. 
I guess you all are just fine with the President being a murderer as
long as he’s on your team.  You
people are no better then neo-conmen. 
You’re disgusting.  

“Oh Mandy, you came and you gave without taking and I need you today, oh Mandy you kissed me and stopped me from shaking, and I need you”  Barry Manilow

I know he had you in mind. Thank you.

Ron Paul is a kook, along with the great majority of his supporters.  Why is it you found it so necessary to make known the support of a washed-up, lounge singer who hasn’t been relevant for the last twenty years?  Note to editors: Try to offer something a little more worth talking about, OK?

Irish-American comedian George Carlin used to finish a stand-up prayer with the plea: “And, God, give Barry Manilow a boil on his ass.”

That boil is Ron Paul who will never see the nomination… Rand on the other hand…

Ron Pauls’ ’08 campaign manager died of pnumonia for lack of health insurance at age 49.  He left over $400,000 dollars in medical bills.  Ron Pauls supporters and friends held a fund raiser and paid off $34,000 dollars worth of the debt, leaving more than $360,000 balance to be paid by those with health insurance through increased premiums.  If he had insurance, he would have gotten treatment before he became too sick and weak to be cured  He died two weeks after Ron Paul dropped out of the race in June of 2008, again, he was only 49.

I’m sorry but you keep forgetting to include your middle name…..Stupid.

Being able to “afford” health care does not stop an American emergency room from treating you. Just go to one and see all of the illegals there for hangovers, hang nails, and the common cold.

What has a liberal done to alleviate pain or cure a sick patient? Liberals believe in spreading misery equally and have been fundamental in CLOSING hospitals and health care clinics along our southern borders. I wonder why that would be?  By the way, liberal loon, I seem to be missing my free obamascare card. Did you get yours?

Please jason, enlighten us, just how many “whiteys” did the Laurel and Hardy of the New Black Panther movement actually scare away from the Democratic district polling place they were in front of 4 years ago?

You have no proof of lynchings. There are no troops killed in Libya, yet. Obama did lie about boots on the ground, but you have no proof of the CIA killing anyone, and to single out “black” people being killed in broad daylight, you are a racist. Since when are Arabs just black? There are white, black, an mixed Arabs, racist. If your rants were true, where is the video? Code Pink would be all over it. Pakistan, Yemen, and Somalia are being bombed? What the hell are you smoking? Wouldn’t those people and your beloved UN condemn such a thing? You hate obama worshipers, and you hate “neo-conmen”. Take your meds dude.

After recent live
support from top musicians, from singer John Mayer and rapper Kayne
West, spontaneously pledged their support for him through songs, the
Democratic presidential nominee has released an official campaign
album.  Soul label Hidden Beach Recordings, which has Grammy winner Jill Scott and Tony Rich on its roster, has unveiled Yes We Can: Voices of a Grassroots Movement and will donate the profits to Obama’s campaign.

An American legend, Universal Motown’s STEVIE WONDER, will contribute a brand-new song, “All About the Love Again,” to a new compilation, issued to coincide with Inauguration Day, THE OBAMA SOUNDTRACK. The compilation CD is released on Tuesday, January 20 by Hidden Beach Records, which also released Yes We Can.
It will also feature songs by Black Eyed Peas, Sheryl Crow, Melissa
Etheridge, Jennifer Hudson, Robin Thicke, Lionel Richie and others.
Universal Motown Records will service “All About the Love Again” to radio soon.

Americans WITH insurance also die from drunk driving illegal aliens:

But some, like obama’s uncle omar, have the “I think I’ll call the White House” get out of jail free card:
http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/275661/obama-arrested-drunk-driving-massachusetts-mark-krikorian

People who ever ate carrots in their life die every day too whether they have health care or not. Like the liberal lie about abortion needing to be legal for “all of the liberal fathers running around raping their daughters”… Show me the stats.

They die because they can’t pay for health insurance? But if they can’t pay their mortgage, will they die too? How about if they can’t pay for their home insurance? Death sentence? Should we pay all of these people t cover their expenses so they don’t die?

“The fact that Manilow doesn’t like Rand Paul just tells you what a liberal Manilow is.”
You said you were in your 20s, right? Yeah…it shows.

“That boil is Ron Paul who will never see the nomination… Rand on the other hand…”

…Thanks to FoxNews.

He’s had something done on his face…..a number of times.

Ahh, the old asterisk that mandango left out of the example…”The Kansas City Star quoted his sister at the time as saying that a “a pre-existing condition made the premiums too expensive.”

Kent Snyder DID receive proper hospital treatment WITHOUT REGARD to payment, yet he died of “complications from pneumonia” and NOT because he HAD NO HEALTH INSURANCE!

And obamascare would have kept him alive? That sounds like John Edwards’ foolish liberal lies: “If we do the work that we can do in this country, the work that we will
do when John Kerry is president, people like Christopher Reeve are
going to walk, get up out of that wheelchair and walk again.”

Too bad he treated his wife the way he did. She had insurance, and she died of cancer!

and they forced you to stop by and offer your 2 cents worth didn’t hey?

washed up lounge singer, that’s a laugh.

In 1978, five of his albums were on the best-selling charts simultaneously, a feat equalled only by Frank Sinatra, Michael Jackson, Bruce Springsteen and Johnny Mathis.

Man, that is just so sad. No man should let someone do that to his face.

WC, I wish you would stop pushing those lies, that Obama’s foreign policy is more “Conservative” than Ron Paul’s. That’s not true; the Obama/Bush/Cheney foreign policy is NEO-CONSERVATIVE, not CONSERVATIVE! Ron Paul’s foreign policy is the TRUE Conservative view, as supported by Pat Buchanan, etc.

Thank you, bro! I though I was the only person who knew the disgusting Democrats were only attacking the Wars under Bush because he was a Republican. When a Democrat does it, not a peep from the phonies on the Left. Amen, Inez. Amen.

Actually shocked at the number of Repugs come to this site. Must be staved for hard news.

The tragically ironic thing is that Manilow is lobbying for more federal money and attention for a disease, yet he supports the last person that would allow tax dollars going toward such research.

Very true.

There was a reason Barry Manilow became a household name. He is not without talent. He was perhaps to a certain degree a victim of his own success. Times, trends and taste changed rapidly after 1978. It happens

Barry is laughing to the bank. Unlike many from the 70′s, he is far from washed up. Barry still fills large venues.

Despite this, Nature Freak prefers Neil Diamond over Barry Manilow. We all have our preferences.

Or perhaps he just supports Ron because he wants to bring our troops home and generally reduce government size?  Not everyone who supports Ron is a full on libertarian.  

I AM.

I love George Carlin, and saw him live once a couple of years before his death. He was very bitter when I saw do his act. I hope he has peace wherever his soul now lies. George looked just like my late dad. Even my father would joke about this fact.

George Carlin quit the Manilow jokes way before his death. Never heard them at the end.

Barry became a joke staple in the late 70′s and the 80′s. It became silly after awhile and towards the end was more of a commentary on those making the joke. I am 40 years old, and the jokes in my teenage years regarding Manilow seemed to have there origins in latent homophobia more than anything.

Stop the Barry hate, people!

It is ridiculous that the Barry Manilow jokes are still being made. This 40 year old has heard them since the late 70′s.

Grow up people. Barry Manilow is a talented musician. No, he is not about rock. Or hip hop. Not every soul is.

Ego? Most musicians possess this in this day and age. Ego happens. He who without sin cast the first stone.

CosmosDan – now I know you you just can’t help yourself.  That Barry Manilow is just so good looking; I get it.  Brush aside for one moment if you will my swipe at Manilow, and grasp the point of my post.  Ron Paul, and his kook brigade which evidently now includes Barry Manilow, are really grasping at straws if they think this candidacy is going anywhere.  Every damn four years we have to endure the insufferable Paul supporters, normally relegated to the late night radio talk show circuit.  Was really, really hoping I wouldn’t have to deal with it here.

I’m not a big fan of his, but as a musician I can still appreciate what he accomplished. It irritates me when people casually piss on someone who’s actually worked hard and accomplished something.

I’m a big Neil fan myself and I prefer Neil’s songwriting, but there’s no denying Barry’s accomplishments.

Government intervention drives the cost DOWN ?

No government intervention in damn near everything drives the cost through the roof because no one in charge ever bothers to look at the bills they just rubber stamp them and send the check out.

Barry’s a class act, no pun intended.

Yeah, it’s a dam shame someone might have different ideas than you about things. They obviously deserve to be degraded and insulted , no matter how stupid it makes you look.

Mission accomplished.

Thank God- now Fox News can have someone other than Ted Nugent on when they need a celebrity “musician”.  I just think BM is angling for a Branson Theater and this endears him to the free scooter crowd.

“let him die” right?

And when the Dems are in the right suddenly turns into peace loving hippies!

What did people do before there was health insurance ?  They took care of themselves or their family did. Doctors and hospitals charged reasonable rates that people could afford. Once insurance companies and the government got involved the rates sky rocketed because there was big money to be made, it’s all greed. Personal responsibility has ceased to exist. People run to a doctor for the common cold, flu, or poison ivy get a flu shot, use common sense. In 1969 the hospital charged $1,000 for a delivery, today it’s more than 10 times that because of insurance. Doctors and hospitals will charge as much as they can as long as the people will pay for it, they play on your fear. You see drugs advertised on tv that will cure or treat almost everything but the side effects are worse than what you are trying to cure.     

Barry Manilow has the guts to speak his mind.

we thank him

If manilow has one preface lift he wil wd up with a second nose and a goatee.

I have always liked Manilow’s music, especially “I Write the Songs”, but now I love him even more for having the courage and faith to support such another great American as Ron Paul ~~~ Thanks a million Sir ~~ Jimbo / SC

How’s this work..?

Manilow wants more funding for research… but agrees with everything a candidate who wants to cut every dime of government funding has to say?

The botox has clearly gone to Barry’s head.

Perhaps he does just want to troops home or this amorphous “smaller government” thing I hear so much about… but that doesn’t line up with his also wanting more government funding for his particular medical issue. That suggests that he doesn’t *really” agree with everything Ron Paul has to say.

It’s pretty mind boggling how many neo cons this site attracts, I agree.

Well let’s see.

Who will bring the troops home?
Who will cut the budget by half a trillion first day?
Who will prevent the million murders a year our government currently performs?
Who can free me from being accountable to my Creator for all those deaths?
Who will do their best to get the Patriot Act repealed?
Who really cares about ME, and truly believes that I own myself, NOT the government?
Who admits the dollar is now worth less than 2% of what it originally was?
Who wants to stop the current policy of robbing seniors by keeping interest rates artificially low?
Who wants to end the War on Drugs and use that money to actually HELP people?

You don’t need me to tell you to Vote Vertebrate to know which man in the room has the spine.

Vote Vertebrate – Ron Paul 2012!

I heard when the water boarding wouldn’t elicit any information from the terrorists, they then tortured them with Barry Manilow tunes. Talk about cruel and unusual punishment!!!

This isn’t the Dumbocrat Blundergound, asshat.  See, differences in opinion are welcome here.  Don’t want to read things you don’t like, go back over there where everyone agrees with you and the rest of the semi-articulate apes that roam that site.

I remember Carlin as the controller in the Bill & Ted movies… and wish he had had more roles like the Cardinal in Dogma (the one in which Alanis Morissette was God, and Alan Rickman was Metatron).

I’m kinda glad Ron Paul’s too moderate for the crazy-right to accept, ’cause he’s about the only repugnant one that would have a chance in 2012.

The NBP wouldn’t even have an audience if FOX hadn’t insisted on giving them a platform nonstop since 1996. Even the actual Black Panthers of the 60s think the NBP are a bunch of buffoons.

Yeah, but what does he have in his cheeks? Are they “nuts”, is he saving up for winter?

Vince Vaughn endorsed Paul the next day.  I think my blog actually broke this, since I am at LPACHere are pics and videos for you of Vaughn and others
