John Mellencamp is a drug addict and a moron.

I enjoyed some of his music but that is about it.

Indiana’s own version of “Al Franken” sans talent?

I’ve read about mellenhead over the years here at FR. He makes Franken look like an intellectual.

He’s left but I don’t see him as the type to be bought off or be corrupt.

So he may be a loudmouthed collectivist asshole, but he seems like the kind of guy who wouldn't take a bribe in order to be a good member of the politburo? It will be most gratifying to be healthcare-rationed to death or marched to the gulag knowing Comrade Mellencamp is too much a "man of the people" to compromise himself with mere money.

Political zealotry and an air of incorruptibility make a dandy combination for advancing tyranny, and is one of the oldest scams in the book. Lenin, Mao and Hitler...

John is down right stupid. He can write music and that is about it.

In order to be able to write music, you need to be able to READ music. Does this putz even know how to read music? Paul McCartney can't.

John is down right stupid.

I heard him interviewed a couple of years ago and came away thinking he was Sean Penn's long lost twin brother.....

The Democrats could certainly do worse. And probably will.

Old school, new school. Dems don’t understand that everything ISN’T free and you can’t take things away from people and give it to others without serious consequences.

Do you think Mellonhead would understand the horrible consequences of deficit spending and staggering debt? I doubt it.

Mellencamp??
Sure, why not...

A Drug-addicted Drunk who hangs with internationally-wanted pedophiles and child porn peddlers, who also happens to be an ex-rock star would be the perfect Democrat Candidate.

For California.....
It won’t fly in Indiana.

"I think he would be more old-school Dem."

This guy has been so far up Obama's a$$ since day one, he'd be a dream target for his opponent.

“First the Senate, then The Pink House...”

Well there’s a young man in a t-shirt
Listening to a rockin’ rollin’ station
He’s got a greasy hair, greasy smile
He says: “Lord, this must be my destination”
‘Cuz they told me, when I was younger
“Boy, you’re gonna be president”
But just like everyting else, those old crazy dreams
Just kinda came and went

“Mellencamp certainly has the home-state credibility. Few rockers have been so closely associated with a state as Mellencamp with Indiana.”

Mellencamp is so closely associated with his home town that he doesn’t even claim it. He is from Seymour, but claims Bloomington as his hometown. Bloomington is as liberal as it gets. He has no credibility since he can’t even acknowledge his roots. Another disgusting liberal.
