LOL Toby Keith declares he is a Democrat. . .LOL

NORM: Democrat Keith sticking with Bush

Toby Keith says his political views have been mislabeled.

Country superstar Toby Keith wears his patriotism on his sleeve but usually keeps his politics under his hat.

So when a nosy reporter asked him Friday whether he would be in New York next week for the Republican National Convention, Keith could have played it safe.

"You got the wrong guy," Keith said, inviting more discussion on the subject.

When I caught up to him after a news conference announcing his new theme restaurant at Harrah's Las Vegas, Keith cleared the air about some misconceptions.

Because of his running feud with the President Bush-whacking Dixie Chicks, Keith said he's been mislabeled. "All I ever hear is that I'm some right-wing nut," he said.

The fact of the matter is, he said, he's a registered Democrat, but "a very conservative Democrat. I'll always support our troops, wherever the war is."

Without further prodding, Keith, whose 19 No. 1 hits include "Beer For My Horses," made it clear who he was backing in the presidential horse race. "I don't think we should be switching our commander in chief in the middle of a war," he said.

Building on the patriotic messages in Keith's music, Harrah's announced the 17,000-square foot restaurant and entertainment venue, set to open next summer, will offer comped food and drinks to active military personnel.

So I think he is part of the Zell Miller wing of the Democratic party.

[LTR]

1. He's been pushing that Democrat stuff for a long time

He's from the George Wallace wing of the Democratic Party.

Bunch o' bullshit.

[ClintonTyree]

2. He's from the Zell Miller..............

wing of the Democratic Party. Please Toby, take your bullshit somewhere else and keep away from our Party.

[warrior1]

4. idiot boy

Maybe he thinks that there are other 'closet' democrats that will come out for bush if he's says this.

[Wright Patman]

3. Since the 'war'

is supposed to last 100 years, under the "Keith Doctrine," Jorge will be El Presidente for life or at least until the transition can be made to Jeb or his nephew.

The Tobester looks pretty healthy to me. Maybe he should ride his drunk horse right into downtown Baghdad. Blasting some of his music toward Sadr City might well be one of the more effective acoustic weapons ever deployed. I know I'd have to run if I heard any of it.

[ClintonTyree]

9. And he could.....................

stick that famous boot of his up some AYRABS ass. What a tool.

[DemonFighterLives]

5. But...

But you can't change horses in the middle of the Apocalypse, so pass them the beer.

[LynnTheDem]

6. And a total IDIOT

Bush fucks up and causes TROOPS TO DIE because of his total fuck-ups. Like sending them to war WITHOUT enough AMMO and RIFLES and BODY ARMOR.

And he's so pissed off the entire world they won't send troops to help, and the troops in Iraq are all leaving.

BUSH FUCKS UP and Keith says oh well we mustn't change horses in the middle of riding them OFF A BLOODY CLIFF!!!

Ya mean well, Keith, but WITH "SUPPORT" LIKE YOURS our troops DON'T NEED FOREIGN ENEMIES!

[Carni]

7. LOL His bush support must be hurting his wallet

If he loves this repuke Pres so much why pretend to be a Democrat?

One explanation...the moron must be suffering decreases in the sales of his crappy music because of his bush support LOL

[sistersofmercy]

8. Yep, he's playing both sides

But I don't believe he's thinking for himself on this one I bet his management and advisers guided him in that doublespeak. Dumbass redneck cain't think for himself.

[zbdent]

14. Hmm, let's apply the RWer's logic they used on "The Boss"

(Bruce Springsteen).

Okay, if Toby Keith really, really, REALLY supports the military and their actions in this war, why then doesn't he donate all his profits from "Shock n Y'all" (or whatever the title is) to fitting our troops with Body Armor, like his personal "commander in chief" decided not to do WHEN SENDING THE TROOPS OFF TO WAR IN THE FIRST F-ING PLACE???

[tabasco]

15. I bet GIs stopped buying his crap records too.

After a few weeks patrolling in 118 Fahrenheit, your tolerance of chickenhawks singing about glorious war and kicking ass goes way down.

Toby is a faux tough guy cowboy just like GWB.

[Neshanic]

10. I love my country stars with backbones. Another lifeboat please.

He had no problem whippin' it up for ya'll.

He's a registered democrat. Riiiiiight.

[GiovanniC]

11. Another Democrat From the Ann Coulter Wing of the Democratic Party

Now THERE are some lonely MeetUps.

Toby should shut his cock-holster about the whole "I'm a Democrat" bullshit. I doubt anyone is really buying it.

[sistersofmercy]

12. Bwahahahahahaha! I love the 'toon!

:evilgrin: Thanks for sharing it!

[Skarbrowe]

13. Has anyone told this smart boy

that this war, and possibly new wars started by this ::choke:: commander in chief won't be over until another one HAS to be picked. Unless, he's OK with Bush continuing on with his dictatorship indefinitely.

Skarbrowe

[Kazak]

16. Yeah, and Bill O'Reilly is an Independent!

;)

BTW, I happen to live less than 10 miles from Toby...joy of joys.

[Hubert Flottz]

17. His sales must be falling off!

A GOPer would claim to be the Devil if it payed off!

[BillZBubb]

18. Sure, he's a real Democrat...

He just always backs and votes for Republicans!

What a lying piece of shit.

[Downtown Hound]

19. Hmm... let's see

He posted a photoshop of the Dixie Chicks with Saddam Hussein at one of his concerts. I don't care what this jingoistic fool calls himself, he's a redneck swamp huffing moran and always will be.
