that's sad, Elvis would never have endorsed any politician
i agree Elvis always said I'm just an entertainer
I never looked for trouble but I never ran.
Elvis would never to this, like hounddog said, he always said, I'm just an entertainer. He never gave his opinion on who to vote for.
I dream a world where man no other man
will scorn. Where LOVE will bless the earth
and peace its paths adorn...
Mind you Elvis had a lampshade in Graceland with 'All The Way With LBJ' on it.
Brown and Elvis flout Licensing Act?

The Live Music Forum is accusing Corby Borough Council of bending its licensing rules to allow a Labour Party stunt in the run up to the General Election.
A performance at the weekend by Brighton-based Elvis impersonator Mark Wright took place at Lodge Park Technology College in Corby as part of a lunchtime speech given by Prime Minister Gordon Brown.
But, according to the LMF, the move contravened the council’s own rules because the venue's premises licence only allows entertainment from 6pm until midnight.
The council defended the decision to allow the Elvis impersonator saying that his appearance was not licensable because he was exempt as incidental music.
Health secretary and former culture secretary Andy Burnham, who was also at the event, was at the centre of a previous Licensing Act controversy a couple of years ago when he was accused – again by the LMF - of giving an unlawful performance himself at a Liverpool rehearsal studio by playing Teenage Kicks on a guitar.
The Government held its own consultation on small venues earlier this year to examine whether an exemption should be made for gigs played to 100 people or less.

He definitely had his own personal politics, but he wouldn't have publicly "backed" any particular politician.Originally Posted by Brian Quinn
the lampshade was in Elvis' home, private, not public, that's a whole different situation.
I never looked for trouble but I never ran.
He may have-but it was in the privacy of his own home and he did carry it on tour or mention it in interviews to somehow endorse LBJ or any other politician.
He just did not want to sway anyone with his opinion on matters like this.
Work in Progress!
