Breaking: Ricky Martin Swings Election to Hillary Clinton With Late Endorsement

5/29/08, 5:25 pm EST

The greatest suspense surrounding this year’s presidential election is over, as Ricky Martin announced his endorsement of Hillary Clinton today. In a release from Clinton’s press office, Martin said “These elections will have historic repercussions both in the United States and the world. Senator Clinton has always been consistent in her commitment with the needs of the Latino community,” to which Clinton responded “I am honored to have Ricky Martin’s support. In addition to his great talent, Ricky is committed to improving the world.” If he has any hope of winning, Barack Obama’s only hope is to secure the much-coveted thumbs up from Afroman, though Martin may be too tough to overcome: his last endorsement of a candidate was for George W. Bush in 2000.

This story sounds like it came from The Onion. The part where Hillary states that Ricky Martin has great talent and is committed to improving the world is truly laughable and shows just how desperate Hillary is to win the vote of the Latino population. Very pathetic.

Isn’t this election over yet?

If you had a brain in your head, you would know that Ricky Martin IS a great talent, having just completed a sell-out world tour and that he has his own Foundation, the Ricky Martin Foundation, which is trying to stop the sexual trafficking of children. Ricky has made speeches to Congress as well as several other organizations in Latin America and also donated money and built hundreds of homes for the tsunami victims. He visited Thailand after the tragedy and even toured the morgues and was so moved, he helped the people there. He also has rescued children from the streets of India. So before you go mouthing off about something you know nothing about, do your homework.

Still wondering why I’ve been censored 4 times under this story.
Bueller? Anyone?
You didn’t even censor the comment where Ricky Martin was called a great talent, and that’s offensive in itself.

I guess if this would be a competition of ignorance both of you will win on the first place. What a ignorant people you are.

Ricky Martin a great talent ? just a ignorant like you, will questioned that, Ricky write of his songs, play the guitar, percussion, piano, can sing, has a tremendous charisma,stage presence, one of the most entertainer,charismatic and talented male artist in the history of pop music.

Committed to improving the world ?

Ricky Martin is one the most generous and humanitarian celebrities, he has been doing an outstanding job with his : http://www.peopleforthechildren.com that his foundation that create a few years ago to rescue kids from the streets, he built over 300 houses for the victim of tsunami.

Ricky is one of the embassadors of Unicef, and just donate over than 10 millions last week to rescue millions of children that live in the streets in Latin America.

So a few people here should be ashamed of writing stupidities.

There is just no reasoning with a narrow-minded idiot like you –

“It’s better to be thought a fool than open your mouth and leave no doubt”.

I rest my case.

My day is complete. Ricky Martin endorsing Billary, that’s just what I needed to sway to the dark side. Who cares what some dumb singer says? If you don’t have a brain of your own to see that she? is the worst thing for this country, you have your head buried in the sand. We don’t need another LYING Clinton running this nation!

The Truth | 5/31/2008, 12:07 pm EST

This is of NO surprise! A Black man being voted for Pres. before a latino in the Spanish eyes is a threat to their self-esteem. If Maria? or Jose? was running for pres. would RM endorse HILL? Hell NO!

Ed | 5/31/2008, 12:51 pm EST

It’s one vote by a pop singer. Get over it. The masses don’t even know who this guy is.

Drumsnbeer | 5/31/2008, 10:37 pm EST

Well, just one more reason why I am voting for Obama. No self respecting music afficiando would even consider what Ricky Martin does to be considered even remotely alright. That man is only a few degrees shy of being the anti-christ.

¿Ricky martin a great talent? IMAO

If Ricky was around in the 60´s or 70`s he wouldnt´ve even made it to the cantina shop grammys!

I don´t care if he donates 10,000,000 billions of dollars over because he`s got more than that. I could afford to give away $ 10,000.00 ¿so? I can afford it! It´s a nice way to avoid paying taxes.

Now back to the issue: ENTERTAINERS WHOULD AVOID DABBLIND AT POLITICS, and although I know we all must be informed about politics entertainers should keep their political vies to themselves! Elvis once was asked what was his opinion about Vietnam and he replied that those views he kept to himself. I´M JUST AN ENTERTAINER!

¿What if Hillary screws up? Martin will be seens as a FOOL HE ALREADY IS!

Yo! You! Read This! | 10/14/2008, 9:10 pm EST

This was a good artical but it should be updated soon!

CHOOPPY CHOOPY and SWINGLANE, a suggestion: When you answer in a forum at least specify TO WHOM YOU ARE DIRECTING YOUR COMMENTS.

Now, I suppose you are directing them to me.

1.Who told you that Ricky Martin had a great vocal range? Do you consider his “Songwriting, great? lol Just listen to the garbage he “wrote” in the album “life” This would be good enough to wipe my ass, at least. lol

2.He is as great philantropist, is that what you mean? I always distrust this kind of people because they want to give the world the appearance of self-righteousness. In other words, is you know a little bit about psychology you´ll notice that a lot of people do the right things for the wrong reasons. You DO NOT NEED TO ADVERTISE HOW GOOD YOU ARE, YOU JUST DO IT. Have you ever read your Bible? It states that it is better to do things without people noticing it else it might be interpreted as hypocrisy.

Is Ricky a great singer and entertainer? l0l
