Does Snoop Dogg Plan On Voting For Ron Paul?
Musician Kelly Clarkson likes Presidential Candidate Ron Paul. Actor Vince Vaughn
and singer Barry Manilow like him too. In at least an indirect way, Snoop Dogg also
likes Ron Paul. Media reports that go as far as saying that Snoop Dogg endorsed
Ron Paul for United States President might be a bit of a stretch. All of the buzz
was created by a picture that Snoop Dogg posted on his Facebook page. Or at least
someone from his staff did. I highly doubt Snoop Dogg manages his own Facebook
fan page. The picture is posted below:
The caption of the photo reads Because I said so. According to ABC News, Snoop
Doggs quasi-endorsement of Paul is presumably because of the candidates maverick
stance on marijuana and drug policy. During his years in the House of Representatives,
Texan Paul has co-authored and signed multiple marijuana-friendly bills that pushed
the drugs decriminalization. Its possible that Snoop Dogg and/or his camp thought
it was just a cool picture, and that in no way is it an endorsement of Ron Paul.
However, I dont think its a stretch to assume Snoop Doggs PR reps dont put
stuff on Facebook without some though on the subject. If it was just a picture to be
cool, than why wouldnt he have put up the same text with someone elses picture?
Im a big Ron Paul fan, but hes not exactly at the top of my pop icon list. The public
is forced to decide for themselves what this means, if anything. Assuming it is an
endorsement of Ron Paul, is that significant?
I think regardless of if its an endorsement or not, there are at least two benefits
to Snoop posting such a picture. Number one, its another reason (however big or
small) for young adults to support Ron Pauls campaign. I grew up as a huge fan
of Snoop Dogg, and although I was already planning on voting for Ron Paul, a Snoop
Dogg endorsement just further establishes my decision. The second thing that a
Snoop Dogg endorsement would bring to the Ron Paul campaign is an endorsement
from a non-white celebrity. Ron Paul has received a lot of flack for racist publications
that were attributed to him. This would help distinguish that fire, at least a little bit.
