Comments on: Sir Elton John set to fundraise for Clinton http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/03/17/sir-elton-john-set-to-fundraise-for-clinton/ All politics, all the time Mon, 21 Dec 2009 22:07:36 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Robert in Toronto,ON http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/03/17/sir-elton-john-set-to-fundraise-for-clinton/#comment-740683 Robert in Toronto,ON Mon, 17 Mar 2008 18:41:01 +0000 http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/?p=5927#comment-740683 First of all Steve, a fundraiser for a campaign isn't the same as a fundraiser for a charity - so you can be critical if you believe to be in this case. As for Elton John, I still think he's a decent artist - although I personally wouldn't shell out the $300 dollars it costs for his concerts. This is what it is: one celebrity choosing their way to support what they believe is their candidate. Nothing more than that and it won't change most people's votes. If a person is voting for a candidate because of who they know...maybe you shouldn't be voting. Now, if they were really smart they would donate all the proceeds from that event to a charity.

You wouldn't expect a gay to support McCain. God help us when we think so much of the endorsement from someone who flaunts his sin.
