Cher: Republican Rule Almost ‘Killed Me’

(CNSNews.com) - Grammy award-winning singer and Academy award-winning actress Cher told CNSNews.com that living under Republican rule almost “killed" her, and she does not understand why anyone would want to be a Republican.

She also said that President Barack Obama’s “intelligence” and “spirit” are “so great” he will be able to do “more than anyone could possibly do.”

“His intelligence is so great and his spirit is so great, I believe he will be able to do as much if not more than anyone could possibly do,” Cher told CNSNews.com at the “Declare Yourself” inaugural ball.

“I just think he’s totally the right person at this time in our history," she said. "He brings something more in his spirit than maybe another president could be even with the same intelligence. There’s something about him that brings more with his spirit, and that’s what Americans need right now. Republicans almost killed me.” When asked to explain how Republicans somehow “killed” her, Cher was not specific.

“You know what? I have so – I try to be charitable and there are some really good Republicans, but I just don’t understand how anyone would want to be a Republican. I just can’t figure it. I don’t understand,” she said. “If you’re poor, if you’re any kind of minority – gay, black, Latino, anything. If you’re not a rich – I don’t know. If you’re not a rich born-again-Christian, I don’t get it.”

Cher also said President Obama will not end the war in Iraq right away.

“I think as soon as he can. I don’t think it will be easy. It would be kind of simplistic to think that’s going to happen right away,” she said.

Cher rose to fame in 1965 as a member of the pop/rock duo "Sonny & Cher" with her future husband Sonny Bono. They are best known for their hits, "Love Is Strange" and "I Got You Babe." Cher won an Academy Award for her performance in the 1987 film "Moonstruck." She also won a Grammy award for her 1998 solo album, "Believe."

She's an idiot. It's that simple.

 

[AlexTina]

She is a great singer. Too bad she can speak or think clearly.

I love love love Cher!

- guess its not a surprise huh?

She, along with Rosie O'Donnell (another favorite liberal of mine) gave $250,000 each to the Interpid Fallen Heroes fund. This, as both were against the premise of the Iraq war.

Well, considering the "organic" era she grew up in, I'm sure things are a little confused up in that head of hers

And, isn't she entitled to her own opinion? Heck, everyone ELSE is, why not her? Just because "news" people seem to think that it's entertaining to the world to have to read about wtheir opinions doesn't make them any less able to HAVE an opinion.

Okay, done stirring.

Why exactly is reporting on what goes through Cher's head news anyway?

I am so tired of the media acting as if celebrities have credibility. Maybe things would improve if the people who write the news were smarter than the celebrities they worship.

Thank you.

Chief, Missed her by thaaaaaaaat much!

....just think of all the husky voiced songs we would have missed if we let VP Cheney "take her hunting".......

 

[xoprincessmomxo]

An idiot?

She also said that President Barack Obama’s “intelligence” and “spirit” are “so great” he will be able to do “more than anyone could possibly do.”

I haven't heard that kind of delusion since middle school! :O

 

[JR6ooo4]

She's an idiot.

maybe so, but she does not seem to be wrong here

“If you’re poor, if you’re any kind of minority – gay, black, Latino, anything. If you’re not a rich – I don’t know. If you’re not a rich born-again-Christian, I don’t get it.”

Anyone on either extreme who can't understand that other people have different beliefs or feelings (whatever their reasons) than they do is an idiot in my book.

Can I ask a question.

Why do you guys get so worked up over these celebrities? Who takes them seriously? They are entertainers, their job is to stay in the media and entertain.
The people who write the news report on them because we (the general public) lap it up and give it undue attention. If your job is to sell newspapers and the ones that sell the most feature Beyonce and Britney, guess what you're going to hear about.

Where is Wonder's vomit smile when you need it?

 

[CPT Tripss]

Aw come on . . . she was the smarter of the duo and we all know what became of Sonny

We are not worked up. We are laughing at them. It is amazing the half-formed and infantile thoughts that spill out of the empty minds of so many celebrities.

It makes me feel so......."I don't know"........

First, after reading that, I can say with absolute certainty that Cher has below average intelligence.\

That aside, I can't understand why anyone would support either major party. Neither espouses the values of their constituency. They have both sold out. We need to elect a few independants to major offices to shake up the parties...

Whew, I'm glad to hear that. I just read another post about Ashley Judd so I thought maybe we were taking these people seriously...

Would love a serious other choice beside what we have now.

Well, that's a relief. All this time I thought it was some really lousy plastic surgeons! Thanks for sharing, Cher!
