Who did Snoop endorse in the 2012 Presidential Election?

Ron Paul, of course.

LOS ANGELES, Jan 30 (TheWrap.com) - Snoop Dogg, throwing his weight behind Ron Paul? Politics really does make strange bedfellows -- or at least smoking buddies.

The rapper and marijuana enthusiast appeared to grant his endorsement to GOP candidate Paul on his Facebook page late Monday, posting a picture of Paul with the headline "Smoke Weed Everyday." Snoop Dogg -- born Calvin Broadus -- included the message "Because I said so" with his post.

Broadus -- whose most recent marijuana-related arrest occurred earlier this month, at the Texas border town of Sierra Blanca -- is presumably drawn to Paul due to the libertarian-leaning candidate's stance on drugs. Paul, an advocate of smaller federal government, was a co-sponsor of the States' Rights to Medical Marijuana Act, and supports the Personal Use of Marijuana by Responsible Adults Act of 2008.

We can't support Hillary because Snoop Dog liked Paul in 2012 right?
I guess this is in retaliation to Hillary supporters saying they like Bernie but Bernie can't win which the worse hit on Brrnie there is!

What's the problem now? Is it because it's not Hillary?

I heard it a few nights ago on Andy Cohen (Watch What Happens Live). He wants to see a woman representing the US in the global arena. His words, not mine. And yes, he voted for Obama. He said he was wrong some times (re: Paul), and was a big man to admit it.
