Pat Boone has called me several times today to tell me to vote for George Allen and Mitt Romney.
He talks right over me if I try to get a word in edge-wise and he is so repetitious!
I am starting to think it might be a recording.
Fortunately, we are holding our own in the key 'teen heart-throbs of the 1950s' demographic. Leslie Gore is on our side: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10021702798
In the 2007 Kentucky gubernatorial election, Boone campaigned for incumbent Republican Ernie Fletcher with a prerecorded automated telephone message stating that the Democratic Party candidate Steve Beshear would support "every homosexual cause." As part of the campaign, Boone asked, "Now do you want a governor who'd like Kentucky to be another San Francisco?"[26] More recently, he assisted the McCain 2008 presidential campaign by lending his voice to automated campaign phonecalls.
On December 6, 2008 Boone wrote an article for WorldNetDaily wherein he drew analogies between recent gay rights protests and recent terrorist attacks in Mumbai, India. He reminded readers of hostage taking, exploding bombs, systematic murder and chaotic conditions of carnage. In it, he asserted that marriage is a biblically ordained institution, which the government has no part in defining. He then stated that equal rights for women and blacks were not "obtained by threats and violent demonstrations and civil disruption" but rather through due process. He concluded by warning that unless they're checked, the "hedonistic, irresponsible, blindly selfish goals and tactics of homegrown sexual jihadists will escalate into acts vile, violent and destructive".[27]
...
In 2009, Boone stated his belief that Barack Obama is not eligible to serve as the President of the United States.[30][31] Boone also has stated that Barack Obama is fluent in Arabic and read the Koran in Arabic as a boy.[30] He has also stated that President Obama "hasnt celebrated any Christian holidays in the White House."[30]
