You're going straight for Woody or Merle, aren't you? p

Toby Keith is a Democrat. Bet a lot of those DUmmies didn't know that. Bet some of y'all didn't either. But to answer the question, who gives a fuck? 99% of everything else is liberal. So country stars tend to love this country more than any other musical medium singer but to the left, that's probably why they hate country music.
He voted for Clinton yes, but he also voted for GW Bush, and I believe he supported Huckabee or another Republican in 08. He's said he's more about the person and whether they'll do a good job than for any particular party.
John Rich of Big and Rich supported Fred Thompson while Big Kenny supported Obama in 08.
Willie Nelson is a big Democrat though and has been for years.
Country music artist are just a divided as any other group, however their music is much more Pro-America an more about individual freedoms than any other genre and they are less likely to support dumbass causes.
DUmmies and Leftists in general were just SHOCKED when he came out in support of Obama. How could this knuckle-dragging Neanderthal who came up with "Courtesy of the Red White and Blue" somehow be nuanced enough to support Obama? How could that be?
Idiot Leftists and their stupid bigoted stereotypes. It's as if that's all they have, and I suppose that's probably true in most cases.
Boulevard of Broken Dreams is a brilliant song. However, the reason why these moonbats consider country music a 'conservative medium' is because it doesn't go on about leftist ideals. Listen to early 70's protests songs and the like. I'd Love To Change the World makes me want to throw up(tax the rich, feed the po', 'til there are no rich no mo'). This coming from a bunch of idiots who wasted the fortune on drugs.
Don't forget John Prine, Kenny Rogers, Kris Kristopherson (whatever)
But seriously, I think people hear what they want to hear in the genre they like to listen to. I had a roommate not too long ago who fancied himself a redneck and proud of it. While it was true that he moved here from Alabama, he grew up in Illinois, had a degree from Northwestern, worked for an environmental group, and drove a BMW. He used to sit on the porch and sing GARY LEE AND THE SHOWDOWN.
Idealism rarely stands the harsh criticism of realistic expectation. Some of those songs were fantasies, as would any idea which required goodness, generosity, and cooperation from the whole of humanity. And as we know, few idealists actually want to have an egalitarian society in which one day you can be the poet, but on Thursdays it's your turn to crawl down in the sewer and dislodge the blockage.
