You're right...Tim McGraw is the next up. He wants to run for office as a Democrat. Let's see how that goes.



Why are you upset with him wanting to run for office? I know as a democrat, but to compare him to Natalie who is a treasonous trader is a bit much. We might not be in agreement with Tim, but why vilify him. Are we supposed to hate a person because they run for democratic office. I actually thought it was very nice of him to be going over to Iraq and Afganistan to play for the troops and he also visits various military bases throughout the states. It appears he has family values. Keep in mind, I would rather him not win this race, but I refuse to hate him over it. (Unless of course he starts to bash the President overseas. Than he deserves your disgust for him, but until he proves that to me, I can't hate the guy). Sorry to upset you over this, but I am probably more fair than most on here. Have a great day.

Show me where I vilified him. That post was in response to this one

Most liberal country music stars have the good sense to realize that their audience doesn't share their politics, and keep their politics to themselves. A few however can't help the temptation to develop "foot-in mouth" disease. Dolly Pardon almost went this route but saw the the writing on the wall and quietly dropped the liberal vent.

The post was accurate in that when a performer starts speaking liberal, he loses some of his country audience. That was all I was saying about Tim. I said "Let's see" about McGraw. Everyone's gotta stop being so defensive around here.

And by the way, I will make a bet with you that he won't run for office. That's part of the Liberal/Dem big mouth MO...name me one or two lib celebrities who actually ever did put their money where their mouth is when it comes to running for office. I would welcome any Dem celebrity who actually did run because that would mean that they'd have to debate...and we all know how that would turn out!
