Barry Manilow Endorses Ron Paul

This has got to be one of the most unexpected endorsements of the season.

Grammy award-winning musician Barry Manilow told The Daily Caller that he agrees with “just about everything” 2012 Republican presidential candidate Rep. Ron Paul says, calling him a “solid” contender for the highest office in the land. “I like him. I like what he says, I do. I like what he says. I think he’s solid,” said Manilow, who confirmed to TheDC in an interview at the Capitol on Thursday that he contributed to Paul’s last campaign for president. “I agree with just about everything he says. What can I tell you?” Manilow added.

Manilow’s latest album debuted in Billboard’s top ten, peaking at #7 in June. He has never officially come out, but has supported HIV/AIDS charities.
