John Rich debuts “Raisin’ McCain”
Fox News ^ | August 1,2008 | Mosheh Oinounou

Posted on 08/01/2008 7:28:54 PM PDT by AmericanMade1776

PANAMA CITY, FL — Country Music star John Rich premiered a new song Friday dedicated to Sen. John McCain at a rally for the GOP presumptive nominee on the Florida Panhandle.

At a “Country First” (get it?) concert, one of the two stars of Big and Rich performed “Raisin’ McCain” as McCain was arriving for a brief rally in Panama City. The song focuses on the Vietnam veteran’s time as a POW and refers to him as a “a real man with an American plan.” (Full lyrics after jump)

“Well we’re all just raisin’ McCain. Everywhere across the USA. You can get on the train or get out of the way. We’re all just raisin’ McCain,” the chorus goes. While it is not likely to takeover the charts like Big and Rich’s recent hit, “Save a horse, ride a cowboy,” the nearly 500 person crowd danced along to the hit. Rich performed the song solo though as his musical partner, Big Kenny, is an Obama supporter. (Video of the event on the link provided)

Heard John Rich on the radio today. He was saying that he hoped everyone would download his song, said it would be a free download. I do not know anything about downloading music, is this a good thing?

and you are so far right, everyone here is a liberal compared to you.

Well, some come really really close...

"As a conservative site, Free Republic is pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-Constitution, pro-Bill of Rights, pro-gun, pro-limited government, pro-private property rights, pro-limited taxes, pro-capitalism, pro-national defense, pro-freedom, and-pro America. We oppose all forms of liberalism, socialism, fascism, pacifism, totalitarianism, anarchism, government enforced atheism, abortionism, feminism, homosexualism, racism, wacko environmentalism, judicial activism, etc. We also oppose the United Nations or any other world government body that may attempt to impose its will or rule over our sovereign nation and sovereign people. We believe in defending our borders, our constitution and our national sovereignty.

Free Republic is private property. It is not a government project, nor is it funded by government or taxpayer money. We are not a publicly owned entity nor are we an IRS tax-free non-profit organization. We pay all applicable taxes on our income. We are not connected to or funded by any political party, news agency, or any other entity. We sell no merchandise, product or service, and we offer no subscriptions or paid memberships. We accept no paid advertising or promotions. We are funded solely by donations (non tax deductible gifts) from our readers and participants.

We aggressively defend our God-given and first amendment guaranteed rights to free speech, free press, free religion, and freedom of association, as well as our constitutional right to control the use and content of our own personal private property. Despite the wailing of the liberal trolls and other doom & gloom naysayers, we feel no compelling need to allow them a platform to promote their repugnant and obnoxious propaganda from our forum. Free Republic is not a liberal debating society. We are conservative activists dedicated to defending our rights, defending our constitution, defending our republic and defending our traditional American way of life.

Our God-given liberty and freedoms are not negotiable.

May God bless and protect our men and women in uniform fighting for our freedom and may God continue to bless America.

Jim Robinson

You are doing an AWESOME of keeping Hildy informed. Keep up the good work. Some people on here just don’t get it — convinced no Republican that can win will ever meet their expectation.

Gosh, folks threatening me and using intimidation tactics will do little but motivate me to try for the top ten spots on your little pathetic Nixonian list.

Ah, a new FR group: the McCain Informers.

Interesting.

Frightening in its implications, but interesting in a clinical sort of way.

Hey now.. let’s see I too am pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-Constitution, pro-Bill of Rights, pro-gun, pro-limited government, pro-private property rights, pro-limited taxes, pro-capitalism, pro-national defense, pro-freedom, and-pro America, and so is Hildy.

You EternalViliglance are the one who is helping Obama to win... Obama who stands for liberalism, socialism, fascism, pacifism, totalitarianism, anarchism, government enforced atheism, abortionism, feminism, homosexualism, racism, wacko environmentalism, judicial activism, etc...

And quit hiding behind Jim Robinson.. Hildy and I are not going to rough you up too much, if your man Obama wins, we are just going to remind you of it everyday of your Freeper life.

Thank you, I just got wind of Hildy's list today, and I intend to find the culprits who are helping to get Obama to the White House.
