Just a couple of days ago, actress Lindsay Lohan, 22, publicly stated her opinion about Sarah Palin’s views on gay people and abortion on her MySpace blog, also urging people to vote for the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee Barack Obama in the upcoming elections. After labeling Republican John McCain’s running-mate “a narrow-minded homophobe,” Lohan went on to bash Palin for being against abortion. The actress uttered her disappointment towards the fact that, despite all the progress women had made over the years in conquering the right to do whatever they wanted with their bodies, there were still people who negated this right. Not to mention that the pro-life belief came from a person in whose hands the Americans are supposed to put their nation’s future.

At the time of the virtual attacks on Sarah Palin, both Lindsay and her girlfriend-British DJ Samantha Ronson-expressed their support for Obama on their blogs. Moreover, the former offered to host a number of events for young voters, in order to encourage them to vote for the Democrat. Nevertheless, Barack Obama turned her offer down, members of his presidential campaign staff stating that Lindsay did not quite fit the celebrity profile they needed to raise votes.

Illinois Senator Barack Hussein Obama is the first African American to be chosen to run for president of the United States by a major political party. In August 28, he officially accepted the Democratic Party’s nomination and delivered his acceptance speech during the 2008 Democratic National Convention.
