Academy Award winnning actor Jon Voight publicly added himself to the list of Mitt Romney supporters at a rally over the weekend, telling the crowd that he believes Newt Gingrich “falls short” of having what it takes to be the next president.

“Governor Romney is a man of faith, honor, love, and truth,” Voight said at the rally. “These are the first very important qualities a president must have. He is strong, honest, and wants to bring the country back to its exceptional place, where we have been for hundreds and hundreds of years, until President Obama decided to follow his father’s footsteps and take us to socialism.”

“I’m sorry to say Speaker Gingrich may fall short in many ways,” Voight said. “Please join me to bring in Gov. Mitt Romney as the next President of the United States.”

After Voight had his chance to throw in his endorsement for Romney, the presidential wannabe himself said a few words about his first conversation with Voight, and how he didn’t know how to “chit chat with a famous actor”.

“I started talking about my five boys,” said Romney of his conversation with Voight. “I said, you know, it’s easier to raise boys than girls. Well, after a long pause, he says, ‘Tell me about it.’”

Considering that the last person Voight endorsed, Rudy Gulliani, ultimately finished in third place, it’s safe to say that Romney won’t be winning the election off of Voight’s endorsement alone, to put it one way.

Jon Voight endorses Mitt Romney, says Newt Gingrich falls short is a post from: The Inquisitr

Jon Voight emceed a fundraising dinner for the Republican House and Senate last night, eliciting GOP nods of approval for a series of biting critiques aimed at what he called the “Obama oppression.”

Republicans raised $14.5m at the dinner, to be split evenly between Congress and the Senate. Speakers at the dinner called GOP members to action to win back some legislative control in next year’s mid-term elections. Ever champions of the middle class, Republican Sen. Minority Leader John Boehner warned of plans by the ruling Dems “to bury our children and the middle class under a mountain of debt.” This statement was delivered non-ironically by the party who brought us the money-draining Iraq quagmire, on the credit card.

Keynote speaker Newt Gingrich was initially overshadowed by Sarah Palin’s diva-ish will she/won’t she (appear or speak) drama. Gingrich illicited praise and agreement for his sharp critique of Obama, claiming that the Commander in Chief “uses his rhetorical skills to hide from fundamental facts.”

Voight gave voice to Republicans who have felt disenfranchised in the grueling four months since the start of the new Democratic regime. Voight called President Obama a “false prophet” and warned that America was becoming a “weak nation.”

Voight gave the party hope for November 2010, in a few simple words- ”Do not tell me it cannot be done.”

Move over, Sarah Palin- Jon Voight woos GOP at shindig is a post from: The Inquisitr

It was just $15 million yesterday, but now we’ve got even heftier reports that the unborn Brangelina baby pics could have possibly reached $22 million in the bidding war between People and OK! The numbers are probably a little off, but it is believed that the pictures will fetch more than the J-Lo baby pics that were reportedly sold at $7 million.

Rumor has it that People Editor Larry Hackett is dedicated to beating OK!, which he just might think of as undeserving. My money is on People as well, since they’ve got the most solid budget for this type of purchase.

This is actually getting pretty fun. How many more wild figures are we going to get in before someone forks over the dough? I’m shivering with anticipation!
