"Longtime Democrat Toby Keith is registering to vote as an independent and says the left wing's verbal attacks against Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin could lead to a win for John McCain in November, the singer-songwriter said Thursday (Oct. 2) in an interview with CMT.com."
"I've been a lifetime Democrat, and I'm re-registering this year as an independent," he said. "It's strictly [because] my party, that I've been affiliated with all these years, doesn't stand for anything that I stand for anymore. They've lost any sensibility that they had, and they've allowed all the kooks in, so I'm going independent."

Toby did come out for Obama. Now he needs to publicly state his new position.
If I get taxed anymore,I’m going to have to reopen my whorehouse and run it by had because I can’t afford to pay the taxes.
I didn’t read the whole thing but from what I saw he was “impressed” with him.
I was impressed the VERY first time I saw Obama speak as well. However, I knew he was a Dim and that he would be exposed soon and here we are today.
I guess not. I’m just surprised because that’s not the picture I had in my head of Keith.
No I really care at all.
Okay Toby........now lower the beer prices in your bar!
This guy sounds like one of that old, dying breed of Southern Democrats that you can still find here and there. They’re for the Democrats because of FDR and LBJ and the New Deal and the Great Society, because they see the Rats as the party of the “little man” and the Republicans as the party of “the rich.” It’s a populist thing; they go for the Rats on economic issues, even though these Southerners are very socially conservative. Well, what they’re seeing is just like he said—the Democrats have become unhinged, they’re taken over by liberal urban elites and radicals. They don’t give a flying damn about small-town Tennessee or Pennsylvania or Colorado anymore, it’s all about New York and Los Angeles and Chicago and San Cramcrisco.

No he’s saying he’s not been an O supporter but that because he had some positive things to say about him, the media cherry picked his comments (is that something new!) and made it appear that he’s supporting O. To paraphrase one of my favorite Toby songs, “I love this man - he’s my kind of guy, whoa I this this man!” (For you non-lovers of country music, the true lyric is I love this bar, it’s my kind of place)
It there a Freeper discount?
Yes, and the more we openly call them what they are, the more American's will understand this problems from within.
I will say this, I am not swayed by celbrities and their opinions, but Ted Nugent is one man I truly respect. This man will tell it like it is.
sorry, celebrities.
I remember Henry “Scoop” Jackson, Hubert Humphrey, Harry Truman — I knew the Democratic Party. The Democratic Party was a friend of America. The Rat Party is no Democratic Party.
In other Breaking News: Eddie Money ran out of toilet paper yesterday.
Always loved Toby Keith, always thought he was “one of us,” even though he’s a lifelong Democrat. I guess I likened him to be a Zell Miller-type of Democrat. It’s nice to see that he has seen the light.
Also, Toby Keith supported President Bush in 2004, and donated money to the RNC in 2006.

Toby has always supported the war, and even more so the troops. I have seen Toby and Ted Nugent both in Iraq performing for the Troops, glad to hear he has changed his mind.
Somebody buy a beer for Toby and his Horses. We need all the help we can get.
“Keith said he will probably vote for McCain because Palin is his running mate.”
Toby, I gotta tell ya brother — I loved you and the music you wrote right after 9/11 and I bought all your stuff...especially when you were fighting with that little kook from the Chicks with...., I mean Dixie Chicks...but when I found out you were a Dem...I stopped buying your albums — It was that simple. I always thought your music was always more in line with what the right represented/represents than the left. It baffled me how you could possibly vote dimwit.
You show up with Governor Palin at a couple of events, sing American Soldier and Angry American — help Pete Hegseth out at Vet’s for Freedom (http://www.vetsforfreedom.org/) and I’ll buy your last two albums.
...and he does a great deal for the troops. Toby Keith is a great guy at heart, the Democrat party left him.
