To: Bluegrass Conservative
I have met Kid Rock and he is one of the most patriotic people I have ever met. I was very impressed by him and I think he is a good choice for the party hosted by the Bush twins.
Mr. Ritchie (Kid Rock) is a huge supporter of our military, as he has played in Iraq, Germany, and other places for the troops. Recently, he hosted a party at his home for soldiers returning from Iraq. He played at the Kennedy Center in front of President Bush, attended an after party with Colin Powell, and played at Gen. Tommy Frank's retirement party.
He also had harsh words for Bruce Springsteen and Bon Jovi for supporting John Kerry while not ever going and playing for the troops.
Sure, he says the f-word, but I bet he won't at the Bush twins party! So do most people--including VP Dick Cheney! that doesn't mean he is not a conservative. That does not mean he doesn't support our president and our nation!
The people at WND are sadly mistaken about Kid Rock. And quite frankly I get tired of the whiny GOP members who shun people like Mr. Ritchie. He is one of the few celebs who actually support this president. Why would republicans bash him? It makes no sense to me, they're just naive I suppose.

Amen! We're not the party of saints, we're the party of right-thinking people. And, I'm not sure if there's anything wrong with me saying "Damn right, I'm a f**king conservative!" : )

He played a benefit concert for the families of victims of the USS Cole bombing. He was a supporter of the troops long before September 11th, and long before it became fashionable for starts to appear patriotic.

My wife is a fan of his, I have heard one of his recordings several times, most of it I don't care for but a couple songs are quite good.
Bottom line: I would rather support a pretty-good conservative than a great liberal!!!! (NOT that he's pretty :) )
