The other type of "grass."

Whether or not you agree with her life choices, her politics or her style of clothes and music, she's still become successful in her career.

The same could be said of porn stars and drug kingpins.

@Sarah

Only a completely shallow and equally as dumb idiot would put any weight on the words or thoughts of the likes of Katy Perry, Paris Hilton, Kardashian, et al.

I am not saying you should or should not put weight into her thoughts, but the above comment essentially says she was stupid for exploring her musical career. It looks like she made a smart decision for herself, whether or not you feel she's shallow. I agree - you shouldn't base your vote off of what Katy Perry says or what anyone else says. You should go and do the research into the candidates and look at what they stand for.

Apparently that's not the Obama campaign's take on it. They'd prefer you look no further than the dress she's wearing when making a decision on which way to vote. At least they're aware that, with the demographic in question, some stimulating visual aids are going to be necessary to get the point across.

We don't know that for sure, Craig.

She should be out stumping for Baldwin, "I kissed a girl, and I liked it..."

Good point Keith......why would Biden be shooting his whole load all over Wis.

A 1% blast agains the President.

That's a bit ironic...

Apparently you do not see the irony.

@Nothought LITTLE BOY

WTF? A 1%, Perry, like many other rich arrogant useless hollywood types, support Obama. 1%ers all of them.

Nothought BOY, just give it up already.

Does perry write a check to the IRS for 99% of her wealth? Nope. Hypocrite just like a good lefty lives.

oc - an insult to my manhood....

Shocking.
When wrong - insult. Noce.

Was that called a grassroots effort by the Romney Campaign? Does the right march in teh streets blasting "1%res"?

There seems to be nothing grassroots about Romney.. just like his Red Cross publicity stunt

FTTroy: I think you are underestimating the Romney supporters. Many are grassroots, we are not all 1% ers...We have the same issues as many democrats, struggling to make ends meet on our paychecks. Wishing we had more take home pay. Hoping we do not have a tax hike that sends us over the cliff. Most of us are concerned about the Debt, and the impact it will have on our kids and our retirement.
We may be different in our orientation and affilliation, but we all agree we have some serious issues to fix before it is too late. Do we not?
We gave this POTUS four years. In the private sector a CFO would not have that luxury, he would be fired.
Time for us to fire Obama, and let someone else take the reins. If he does an equally shitty job as Obama, I will be one of the first to call it as I see it.

Craig - I see your point. I honestly do.

I would tell you that we are seeing progress. I understand it isn't fast enough or comprehensive enough. I agree. We need our leaders to lead and not get stuck in vitriol (both sides, here - both sides are guilty).

I would also assure you Romney/Ryan have absolutely no interest in helping those of us out. They have these crazy whacked out ideals that will slash your and mine way of life to such a degree, I have no idea how we will make it. We will literally fall to developing country status. Maybe I am Chicken Little Sky Falling Guy here, you could accuse me of it, and I would confess to over reacting. I am sure I am to a degree.

I know we disagree on this topic. You have every right to your opinion and to vote a promote whomever you believe in.

FTTroy: We agree about the sky falling, I worry whatever happends will come too late.
While China is building interstates and modern infrastructure, USA is outdated and too broke to upgrade. Any product we make here will be stuck in gridlock on our crappy freeways, China will have cross country smooth sailing on new interstates, which will make them more efficient and harder to compete with. As if pennies per hour wasn't enough.

First he sould educate Biden

"Speaking with a group of voters at a campaign volunteer center, Vice President Joe Biden asked one of a group of men if he was an Indian.

“Are you an Indian?” the Vice President asked, according to the pool report.

“American,” the man replied."

The lose of manufacturing jobs had slowed, despite B.O.'s best efforts. The question is who will best get them moving again. The answer is NOT B.O!

It's great that the Dow Jones is up, but doesn't that just mean the rich are getting richer? I thought you were against that morn.

Consumer confidence surged because Mr. Obama is getting closer to the door.

Again - putting the American Bad @$$ Kid Rock on stage is such an improvement. The long stringy hair - hat and shades are such an improvement.

Artists are artist and if they want to use their influence to help the candidate of theri choice - we can't judge.

We shouldn't anyway

Yeah, but Kid Rock is cool, because he and that D-bag from Creed put out that sex tape of them getting "orally serviced" by a bunch of groupies in a trailer.

I wonder how that even works. Like, were Kid Rock and the Creed guy on opposite sides of that trailer, or was it a little more, you know, "intimate?" Either way, probably not exactly the image that Robo-money wants to be associated with. Or maybe he does? I don't know, I can't keep track of these GOP politicians' weird peccadilloes.

Enough projections Tao, you are the only one that seems to bring up perversions.

Hey Henneypecker,

I report, you decide. Did Romney ambassador Kid Rock make a sex tape with the singer from Creed? Yes, he did. Is that something that reflects on Mitt Romney? Only if you insist on making a big deal about the Katy Perry appearance, like so many on this page.

If Obama is somehow defined by Katy Perry, then Romney's defined by Kid Rock's history of bisexual group sex, right? Be consistent...

I never made the connection between a person's deviancy and their endorsement for POTUS. Interesting correlation Tao, not sure what logical fallacy this fall under. Again, keep your penchant for the sick and perverted out of the race and stick to the facts.

Henneypecker, you've never really made any connections at all.

The point, which is a little too slippery for you, I guess, is that anyone huffing and puffing about Katy Perry's endorsement being such a telling and/or terrible thing doesn't have a leg to stand on..

I love irony! Like the irony of Kid Rock stumping for a party that never met a "war on drugs" that they wouldn't shower money on. I posted a picture of him smoking a big fat blunt, just to help illustrate the irony.

Obama is part of the 1% crowd. He doesn't hate them. He believes they may need to at least play on the same field as the rest of us.

Considering Romney's 47% Speech, I wouldn't really claim Romney doesn't promote class warefare.

Considering Romney's 3rd move at Bain Capital - the first move was collecting all the consulting fees and the second was giving executive bonuses - was outsourcing all the American jobs out of the country, I wouldn't make the bold claim he doesn't partake in class warfare.

Class Warefare was already declared years ago.

Stop hating on Katy Perry.

Romney is still spot on with the 47% comment looking at the polls. Spot on. Man is brilliant no wonder he was smart enough to make millions and human enough to pass on billions.

As long as they do as the dress says, all is well...

Don't Suppress, Read the Dress.

Help, I'm turning into Jesse Jackson......

Vote for the two guys closest to my heart, not the ones next to my lady parts...

(see dress above)

Is a hanging chad a wardrobe malfunction?

That is funny.

But good on Paul Ryan for letting that one go. I have heard what a good father he is ( I did see signs of that after the VP Debate) and I thought it was super cool he took the day off to take his kids trick/treating. Good to see he can put press nonscence aside & let his daughter dress how she wanted.

It seems pretty low to focus on the candidates' children and try to make an issue out of their costume selections.

It's a cute story, but I think at this point, the press is grasping for anything.

Yeah - it's lame and has nothing to do with anything. I just think it's cool Ryan has a good attitude about it.

Just the other day (prior to the Barack and Katy concert being announced) in a thread regarding costumes for kids, some lefty pointed out an article here on Patch regarding Ryan's daughter and this costume and suggested it was an indication he was a lousy parent.

I don't think there are many here who would argue there are idiots on the left, too.

I would, but only because I don't think that's what you meant to say.

Once again - AWD

All Class.

@AWD...You're disgusting and misogynistic.

Lyle, once again, you need to "bone up" on the pop culture scene a bit.

AWD while stating a personal preference in terms of his use of the word "best", certainly isn't noticing something Katy Perry hasn't herself spent a lot of time displaying prominently in many of her videos and media appearances.

Actually AWD - I don't think you know a Communist when you see one.

You have been calling Communist to anyone who disagrees with you. Not everyone who is a Non_SkinHead is a Communist.

I don't think you could spot a Communist if they walked up to you and introduced themself.

@AWD -- It doesn't surprise me that you don't know what 'misogynistic' means. You're misanthropic as well.
