Willie Nelson helped raise money for Democratic presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich, center, with Bonnie Raitt at an Austin concert, one reason a state senator calls the renaming a political deal.

"To compare a former president of the United States with a country singer, surely that's self-explanatory," Wentworth said. Bill Clinton. Toby Keith.
I dunno.

Willie's a well-known kook Dem and convicted tax evader...just the person the people of Texas, who vote 65% Republican, need to honor with a freeway built with their tax dollars. NO THANKS.
To: kittymyrib
We already have a freeway here in Dallas named after that Dem Disaster LBJ.

I love Willie. But, dump that ole outlaw.
Name that stretch of pay road for someone like Medal of Honor recipient MSgt. Roy Benevidez.

As a redneck-libertarian-conservative, I still like Willie.
To: kittymyrib
Screw his politics. He's a great musician. The fact that he is a liberal Dem and a tax evader is gravy. It points out their hypocrisy.

This is the kind of stuff that is easily spun to make the GOP look meanspirited.

Not to mention that Willie claims he smoked pot on the White House roof when he was a guest there.

Hell yeah. He's a Texas instituion.
On the road again
Just can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is makin' music with my friends
And I can't wait to get on the road again
On the road again
Goin' places that I've never been
Seein' things that I may never see again,
And I can't wait to get on the road again.
On the road again
Like a band of gypsies we go down the highway
We're the best of friends
Insisting that the world be turnin' our way
And our way
Is on the road again
Just can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is makin' music with my friends
And I can't wait to get on the road again
On the road again
Like a band of gypsies we go down the highway
We're the best of friends
Insisting that the world be turnin' our way
And our way
Is on the road again
Just can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is makin' music with my friends
And I can't wait to get on the road again
And I can't wait to get on the road again
To: Arrowhead1952
And I don't even like his music...
He is a rot already in Texas. Deport the elitist leftist toad.

He's a great musician. Great? ...I like a few of his songs, but Willie is not a great musician.
To: KC_Conspirator
Not to mention that Willie claims he smoked pot on the White House roof when he was a guest there. I hadn't heard that before. (laughing)
I sincerely hope it's true.
To: AppyPappy
LOL.
You've just named my 2 at the top of my own personal Top-10 most obnoxious, most self serving people.
Bill Clinton, OK, that's obvious. And I know, I know. Toby supports the troops. He writes songs about them.
Of course, before he figured out that he could make a ton of money singing about soldiers, his greatest hits included such masterpieces as "What do you think of me now", and "I wanna talk about me". Anybody see the connection between the songs? Sing it, shall we...mememememe. I think he's really cynical, but that's JMO.
I don't know about y'all, but I feel much better after that rant.

Willie got busted a few years ago passed out in his car outside Waco. Pot was on the dash. I don't think he's been completely sober for more than 1/2 hour since 1968.

If they named the road after George Strait I wouldn't have a problem.
What's got 48 arms, 48 legs, 24 heads, and 30 teeth? The front row at a Willie Nelson concert.
