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)

Sean Hannity played Rich's song at the bottom of his last hour today...and while I'm no raving fan of Country music, the song is much nicer than what Rapper Ludacris has to offer.

Talk about night and day!

I am sending your name to Hildy, she is making a list of all you freepers who are not going to vote for McCain, so if parchance Obama should get to the White House, we will know whose butt to kick when you grumble later. Be forewarned.

Sounds like a threat to me. Why don't you explain to everyone just what this means?

I guess if you cannot argue with logic, then physical threats or threats of censorship will do just as well.

Captain Anderson’s... Fontaineblue... Flamingo Inn...

Oh the memories. Too bad it looks nothing like that now. High rises everywhere.

I rode my first roller coaster in the theme park they had there. I can’t remember the name, too late at night. ha

“NIXONIAN??” Can you be any more dramatic??? I’m just making a list of all those who say they won’t vote for mccain. So then, when they’re back here next year bitching and moaning about President Obama, we’ll know they have no right to do so. What’s NIXONIAN about that? Intimidation? THIS IS A FREAKING WEBSITE...I CANNOT DO ANYTHING TO YOU. Geez..you of all people. I’m disappointed.

"I not only know what a Conservative Looks like, but I know what an Obama presidency would mean for this country..."

Not to get all up in the middle of yall's squabble, but this isn't really a way to win someone to your side. "Vote for Candidate A because he isn't Candidate B" isn't a really solid argument. Some people have that political line in the sand and for Eternal Vigilance, McCain has crossed that line. If you really want him to vote for McCain you need get him to move his line with reason, not threats.

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

And you would prefer that these good men and women salute a President Obama? Shame on you.
