Raisin’ McCain
COUNTRY STAR CUTS NEW CAMPAIGN SONG FOR GOP NOMINEE
With only a week left before the Summer Olympics begin and much of the campaigning for White House grounds to a halt in preparation for the conventions, Republican John McCain launched a rockin’ new tune to cash in on a few quick headlines.
The new campaign theme song was written by country music star John Rich and unveiled Friday night at a free “Country First” outdoor concert in Panama City, Fla.
Listen to the song:
“I’m sure Johnny Cash would have been a John McCain supporter if he was still around,” Rich told the crowd before opening with Cash’s hit “Walk the Line.” McCain later pulled up in the Straight Talk Express and gave a brief speech to the crowd.
“He stayed strong, stayed extra long til’ they let all the other boys out,” the song says, focusing on the 5 and a half years McCain spent in Vietnam prison of war camp. “Now we’ve got a real man with an American plan, we’re going to put him in the big White House.”
Perhaps this is McCain’s attempt to balance out Democrat Barack Obama’s “celeb” factor. If so, this is great because I’m pretty sure I’m not alone in saying I would take Big & Rich over Rosie O’Donnell or Susan Sarandon any day.
Cash was a famous liberal who believed in the “jesus as a liberal” philosophy. I really wish people supporting politicians on both sides would stop using endorsements from dead people.
Of course, Big Kenny is supporting Obama, and that big ol’ kickoff concert consisted of about 500 people.
So I guess you would take John Rich over Scarlett Johansson and Jessica Biel too?
That figures.
No wonder you’re so concerned about more gays in South Carolina. You can’t stand the competition.
Micah,
First, I never said I would take John Rich over Scarlett Johansson and Jessica Biel. In terms of endorsements or music I would still take Rich, in terms of pretty much everything else, one of the latter two.
Second, I have trouble taking anyone seriously whose bellwether for male straightness is Rosie O’Donnell and Susan Sarandon.
Third, I’m not the one on video screaming like a little girl over a baby bat, so you should probably keep the not-so-veiled accusations that I’m gay to yourself, sister.
Thanks for playing,
- A.F.
Adam,
I’d love to hear from a seasoned pro like yourself how the endorsement of a John Rich carries more weight than that of a Scarlett Johansson or a Jessica Biel. In fact, maybe you could explain who gives a shit about celebrity endorsements in the first place. And try to approach the question as if your man doesn’t need all the help he can get to secure a conservative base.
I’d also like to know why you hate country music so much as to support Big & Rich. Maybe you’re too young to remember when country music didn’t suck.
Your mastery of the written word has me puzzled; exactly who is using Rosie O’Donnell and Susan Sarandon has their bellwether for male straightness here? I’m pretty sure you were just trying to remind your conservative readers that some of Hollywood’s most evil liberals are in step with Barack Obama.
And I’m honored that you would take time from your busy day to watch a video of mine, but I’m amazed such a thinly-veiled accusation from someone with the maturity of a 13-year-old could draw you out of your chair (not literally, of course) while you continue to ignore valid criticism of your bigoted social views, blind faith in your POTUS candidate and your incredible panache for posting irresponsible and ill-informed information here.
There are some pretty smart readers who leave comments. You should play with them. You can block my comments if it makes you feel better, I’d just like to see you respond to some of the valid critiques.
And now in the spirit of Jesus Christ, who wanted us to love everyone no matter how douchey they act on their blog, I will click your Google ads.
Love,
- M.S.
Anyone who bases their voting decisions on celebrity endorsments should lose the right to vote.
I haven’t listened to a celebrity endorsement since Tony Orlando sold me that shitty diet food.
Are we talking about the same John Rich that has written #1 hits for like 5 different artists? I’ll take that guy on my team anyday.
And I really hope celebrity endorsements don’t matter because I think everyone hollywood star has a barrack and roll shirt.
I look forward to the day that Obama says that celebrity endorsements don’t matter.
The reality is that people do listen to celebrities and join into trends. You all know this so why do you act like celebrity endorsements don’t matter? A celeb goes to one church and the next day they have thousands of more members. Or Justin Timberlake wears a trucker hat and the next day everyone is wearing one.
Heidi and Spencer endorse McCain and the next day I gave 500 dollars to McCain. Sometimes it just takes a hot blonde for me to see the political truth.
A Party Comparison
I surmise
That while Republicans stand firm
Democrats compromise.
(Is that always wise?)
McCain- don’t compromise
