John McCain Will Stop Playing Mellencamp Songs at Rallies
Rolling Stone ^ | 2/8/08 | Rolling Stone

Posted on 02/09/2008 6:46:52 AM PST by melt

Four days after John Mellencamp’s reps asked John McCain to stop playing his songs “Our Country” and “Pink Houses” at his rallies, the Republican frontrunner’s campaign spokesman announced today that Mellencamp’s songs would no longer be played as McCain’s rallying cry.

Mellencamp, a noted liberal who was supporting John Edwards, took umbrage with McCain using his music as he traveled from primary state to primary state trying to prove to his party that he is a “true conservative.”

Fairly ironic that Mellonhead doesn’t want a soulmate like McCain to use his music.

Should give some half a clue...to assert that McCain’s as liberal as Shrillary is peculiar to say the least.

It’s how it is with these loons, they can’t accept being partially liberal...it’s 100% or nothing at all.

McCain’s pro-troops...moonbats loathe the military.

McCain needs to start playing Barry White songs at the rallies.

I’m offended that McCain would even think of playing Mellencamp’s “music” at campaign events.

What idiot in his campaign thought Mellencamp was a good choice?

Hey Mellonhead, playing your song doesn’t mean he has your endorsement. What a moron!!

Other than “I Need a Lover” I never saw how anyone could sit through any of his music.

Maybe Mellencamp should ask Ford to stop using his music in their ads, being a major Corporation and all. Oh wait, they pay him...

Maybe McCain should pay Melankampf the way that evil corporation GM did to use his song for a Chevy commercial.I always love elite socialists who have and make scads of money from the evil capitalists telling us unwashed how to live.

Hmmm, the timing on this is interesting. Why only four days ago?

It's starting, you people...just as we all predicted.
