I always wondered they used an anti-American song for that theme

This is satire, right?

You can’t be series.

Just as long as we get rid of the “aspiring rapper” I couldn’t care less.

Let’s Roll!

Who said that, a country guy or a rock guy? (I know the answer).

I don’t think he’s calling anybody unpatriotic. Just saying that it was different. And he’s right. Rock went back to its “protest music” roots, it is a genre that celebrates the questioning of authority. And country dug deeper into its “roots music” roots, it is a genre that celebrates home and hearth. So really what he’s saying is that 9-11 pushed him in the home and hearth direction and away from innately distrusting authority. Which happened to a lot of people, and is why the abhorrent and previously rejected Patriot Act got passed so easily.

Well, if we decided elections on whether a person liked Rock or Country...all I have to say is the South goes Left:

I don't see anyone else really worried about it but the author, who I classify as a 'concern troll'.

Anything to tear down Cruz. Their agenda is showing.

"Anybody who thinks Cruz is trying to divide rock and country fans is too stupid to vote anyway."

Thank you.

The man voiced a musical preference. Who cares? Are conservatives really so hyper-sensitive and easily offended?

Sheesh.

I was in a band that featured a girl singer who could really belt out the blues. Unfortunately she also liked what I called “angry lesbian love songs” like Morissette. It was difficult to play to without camping it up (so to speak) ;’)

The way he put it, sounds like tarring with one brush. And it is the fault of his unfamiliarity with the larger genre.

That said, the right will be more forgiving to him on this one than the left would be. There will doubtless be a mea culpa from Ted and that will end the issue for all intents and purposes.

So many predictions of his "upcoming and inevitable" loss, in so many ways... and he has yet to make a single major speech, and we are a year away from the serious primaries. SMH

(Yes, dividing, like Obama, is not a good strategy. Thanks for the tip. I doubt he is being divisive with music. Next?)

There is no longer any such thing as Country Music. It's ALL Rock Music now.

Some is regular Rock and some is Rock In a Cowboy Hat, but it sure isn't Country anymore.

It’s a fumble. It can, and doubtless will, be corrected (by qualifying that he was still unfamiliar with a lot of the genre). I sincerely hope this is the worst problem Cruz has.

I know someone who voted for John Kerry b/c she liked the school his daughter went to.

I really think this was due to Cruz’s ignorance (the mass media country crowd is different from the down home conservative values country crowd). Ignorance can be fixed. Stupid lasts.

Even people this dumb somehow someway get to the polls. The RATS ground game is second to none. How else can one explain Jug Ears?
