Toby Keith Wooed By Sarah Palin, Says 'that Don't Make Me A Bad Guy'
CJTW ^ | 10/28/08 | Steve Hubbard

Posted on 10/28/2008 11:25:09 AM PDT by pissant

Just as his latest CD "That Don't Make Me A Bad Guy" hits store shelves today, Toby Keith tells People magazine he'll be voting Republican come November 4th, solely because of Vice-Presidential contender Sarah Palin. "I think she is the best thing in politics at that level I've ever seen. I hate politicians, and she's as far from one as you can get. She's a mother, she's a human being. And I can sympathize with her. She went from being an unknown governor to being on the cover of every magazine." Believe it or not, Keith is a longtime Democrat, who says he's now registered to vote as an independent.

"That Don't Make Me A Bad Guy" is the second album in a row Keith has produced himself. The first single, "She Never Cried In Front Of Me", currently sits atop the Billboard country chart. Toby's next release will be "God Love Her" and he's already made a video, his first one in a year and a half.

"She Never Cried In Front Of Me" is Keith's 24th Number One.

Keith has sold more than 25 million records in this decade alone.

I’ve always like Keith. Even when he was a Democrat ... he was the kind that was a credit to Democrats. He was patriotic, sensible and down-to-earth. The world could use more Democrats like Toby Keith.

LOL! That’s not a bad video, but it’s not recent, either. I heard the song on the radio coming home from Wal-mart earlier this afternoon.

You just described a ton of the Democrats here in Oklahoma. They vote Democrat almost straight ticket, but always vote Republican for president.

Here is what Keith had to say recently:

While many American celebrities are backing McCain’s opponent Barack Obama, Keith insists the Democrats have lost his vote.

He says, “They’ve run me out of the (Democratic Party). They don’t represent anything I stand for anymore. But there are just as many sickos on the right. That’s why I’m not registering Republican. But I don’t see things right and left, I see them right and wrong.”

“Keith goes on to compare himself to Senator Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut: “a conservative Democrat who is sometimes embarrassed for his party.”

Here is the article it came from:

http://www.boston.com/news/globe/living/articles/2004/07/23/hes_not_afraid_to_speak_out_for_his_country/

If Joe Lieberman can support McAmnesty & Lady Sarah, I guess it's OK for Tobey, too.

WHAT??? I thought he was a Bill Clinton dimocrat? While I like some of his music, I was very, very discouraged that a person that can sign about Dad, country, the troops, supporting the Red, White and Blue, could vote for people who HATE the military!!! Maybe, he has at least changed some to change from a Dim to an Indy.

Folks who have seen TK in concert know what I mean when I say Toby is Sarah’s captain.

What video? Apparently Keith says that he never claimed he was voting for Obama.

Way to go, Toby. I'm glad I bought a number of your CD's over the years.

This election has some weird dynamics.

A week or so ago, you had Dan Rather of all people coming out to defend Sarah. Then there was the NOW lady. now Toby Keith.

Read a review of the new album...so I was doing a stroll down memory lane.

My taste runs to classic country—but Toby is the best ‘new’ performer out there. Heck of a song-writer.

He looks soooo gay in that photo. I like the guy, but that picture has got to go.

Another answer to prayer! I pray every night that the Lord will open the hearts of the electorate and show them that this is the greatest nation on earth, has been since it's founding, founded on His principals, His laws. And we need to keep “O” from being elected in order to keep it the greatest nation on earth, founded on Christian principals.

I knew Keith was voting “O” and the fact that he switched is exactly what I have been praying for. I will keep praying, as I know TKeith is not the only one who came to his senses.He is one more good man who was misguided. Welcome home Toby!

Recently, Toby said that he switched to being an Independent because the Democratic Party left him and is now run by kooks.
