Kid Rock has blasted his rock peers who are involved with politics - because none of them flew to Iraq to perform for their war heroes.
The rocker wowed troops when he and actress Brittany Murphy jetted off to meet and greet soldiers in Baghdad last year, and now he's angry that those who didn't salute men and women stationed in Iraq are touring to raise cash for President George W. Bush's rival John Kerry on the Vote For Change tour.
He states, "You see this thing now where like Bruce Springsteen, Jon Bon Jovi - like I love all these guys as musicians - they're gonna raise money for John Kerry. God bless 'em."
"But, before you go and do that, why don't these motherf***ers go over there and play for our soldiers in Iraq? I'm not vocal about my views on the war. I'm just vocal about my views on the troops."
Rock, real name Bob Ritchie, insists rockers have no right getting involved with politics.
He adds, "I do not believe that artists or actors and people should be out there like voicing their full-blown opinions on politics because, let's face it, at the end of the day, I'm not that smart of a guy. I play rock 'n' roll, that's what I do.
"Who would you trust to make your decisions, (Secretary of Defense) Donald Rumsfeld or the Dixie Chicks?"
Rock made his remarks while hosting an MTV barbecue for a group of soldiers returning from Iraq at his ranch home in Detroit, Michigan.
The rocker admitted he'll always be immensely proud of the soldiers he has met: "They don't make the decisions. They get up and go do their job."
I just found a whole new respect for Kid Rock

Cowboy up!
Twice evidently.
Hell yeah! Thank God there are a few rockers with conservative ideals! You tell em' Kid!
I am a rocker and conservative, we are a tiny minority these days.

The Kid is a class Act!
But, but he wore a flag. . .
Rock is a good guy and a real patriot I think the hack he got on this website for his lack of decorum was really overblown.
If he keeps this up I might come to kinda like the guy.
KID ROCK PING!
I'll second that!
Kids!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wonder when these jerks will realize just how many CDs soldiers buy to listen to when they are posted away from home? I would love to see the military boycott them all and not buy another CD of theirs!
Well...uh....ahhh....errr...okay. I made my decision. It is the one who said this:
"What's going on is that terrorists have been targeting our troops, and our troops have been killing them."
Hoorah, SIR!
Never thought much of him before. He won me over.
Referring to Bruce Springsteen and Bon Jovi as motherf***ers...Gotta love the KID!!
Love Kid Rock.
I'll have to buy one of his CD's. Any recommendations?
