Actor John Voight, joined Mitt Romney at a rally held at the Fish House in Pensacola, Florida and gave his endorsement of Mitt Romney:
Academy Award winning actor Jon Voight threw his support behind Mitt Romney today, telling a crowd of hundreds at a local restaurant that Newt Gingrich “falls short” of having the characteristics needed to run the White House.
“Governor Romney is a man of faith, honor, love, and truth,” said Voight. “These are the first very important qualities a president must have. He is strong, honest, and wants to bring the country back to its exceptional place, where we have been for hundreds and hundreds of years, until President Obama decided to follow his father’s footsteps and take us to socialism.”
“I’m sorry to say Speaker Gingrich may fall short in many ways,” said Voight. “Please join me to bring in Gov. Mitt Romney as the next President of the United States.”
I’ve been seeing a lot of tweets and facebook posts of people who were there and you can tell they were surprised and thrilled to see an actor show up at a rally for Mitt Romney. What’s really cool is that Jon Voight took the time to take pictures with many of the people who were in attendance at that rally. Obviously, they were even more excited to hear him give his endorsement for Mitt.
Watch a pathetic member of the Gingrich campaign try to trip up Romney-supporting Rep. Chaffetz below the fold:

This will make me have to change my world view a bit… Jon Voigt is the good guy now… well–good I like his work.
Welcome Jon Voigt I hope Mitt will not let you down.
Yes, Jon Voight is one of the rare ones w/Hollywood connections that is conservative! Yea, for him!! We need ALL good, honest men and women to stand up for Mitt!
I love Jon Voight. He has never been fearful of voicing his conservative positions. I have seen him on Fox from time to time. Sorry Fox…Jon is endorsing Mitt!
C’mon, Newt Gingrich characters even don’t meet hollywood standards? LOL! Sarah Palin eat your heart out.
You cann’t go wrong with “Midnight Cowboy”. Good movie.
Ann for 1st Lady!!!
The dude has played George Washington, been in two National Treasures flicks, and was the SecDef in Transformers.
Win.
Do not forget that Voight starred in that Mt. Meadows Massacre movie September Dawn back in 2007 or whenever. It was designed to “sink Mitt’s candidacy.” It ended up being panned as a less than truthful account of the confusing and horrific atrocity. In fact, in promoting the movie Voigt had some pretty damning things to say about the CJSLDS, comparing us to radical Islam.
I’m glad that Voight has come around to supporting Mitt.
Thanks Jon Voight!!! We need Mitt in the White House!!! Obama, you’re fired!!!
