I love this guy. I never was a fan of country music, but since the election, my tastes have been a changin'.

I love Toby Keith's music. Lots of patriotic stuff, and lots of just plain fun songs.

[Khurkris]

Mr. Keith - Do what you do best.

"earned "mostly red state dollars." "The truth is — and we looked it up — we made a lot more money in the blue states,"

Nothing against him, but I'm weary of this kind of silly stuff. Why would he look up such a stupid statistic? Whatever happened to plain old America, especially in terms of something like where a musician earns money? It's petty and silly.

[Dan from Michigan]

There's not many Democrats like him left. I wish there were.

Ironicly, I'd probably have been a democrat until Reagan in Michigan. Bill Milliken (a pro-abort high tax gun grabber who backed John Kerry) is a RINO today, but his types controlled the GOP at the time. Largely rich liberals, while democrats were more populist blue collar labor. Richard Headlee broke through in 1982 and the Engler/Headlee wing eventually took contol, resulting in a 1990 monumental win.

And until recently, there were a lot of conservative democrats in Michigan, and almost 1/3 of the legislators today still are sometimes social conservatives. About 1/4 to 1/5 of the GOP still have shades of Millikenism. The rest are either more libertarian, religious conservatives, or somewhere in between.

[Soul Seeker]

The Liberals don't understand Toby because they've forgotton what a conservative Democrat is. Scoop Jackson, Zell Miller...Toby Keith. A dying breed. Their party has been hijacked by anti-American socialists. This is why Toby seems like he'd be a conservative-Republican even though the Truth is that he is a conservative-Democrat.

And I accept that. My parents were conservative Democrats. Reagan was a Democrat. Coleman was a Democrat. Party left them not vice versa.

I'm in a blue state and love Toby's music, but then we need sanity up here. Even though I'm in a 'red' county it's just not the same.

[My Favorite Headache]

I have a quote from him where he says "truth is i am a lifelong democrat,and that pisses off liberals today like you wouldn't believe"

It took me awhile to find out who sung "The Red, White and Blue" and then I was hooked. Have almost NO music here at all. . .

[Treader]

Toby is on a genuine path. He kinda reminds me of Willie...without the Nashville baggage. I like Toby's style, which will only improve by his own label.

"I get brushed with this big, gigantic red, white and blue brush. But I don't mind," he says. "I look good in red, white and blue."

Toby looks good in just about anything.

Count me among the new fans of country music.

My music has always been AC/DC, the Stones, Thorogood, and the like. But something in just the last couple of years has been drawing me more and more toward country. I cain't 'splain it. But I'm liking it more and more.

[manic4organic]

I like his music, but not so much his voice. He sounds like a goat singing through a box fan. But I like him. And Shania doesn't do country music. She's pop sung with the aid of electronic pitch enhancers. Ray Benson of Asleep at the Wheel told me that.

[Choose Ye This Day]

I really liked Toby's "Unleashed" CD, and most of his stuff before that, but for the past three years his songs have seemed uninspired. I think he's just phoning it in until his contract is up.

(Of course, his songs continue to be huge hits, so maybe I'm the idiot...)

[Frumious Bandersnatch]

I know many dems of his ilk. Oh that the party leadership was likewise so inclined...

[MissouriConservative]

Big Red, White, and Blue bump for later enjoyment.

[Syncro]

Thanks for fixin' up this song, Jim. I made a couple of change too.

We got winners; we got losers;

Chain smokers and boozers.

An' we got yuppies; we got bikers;

An' we got, thirsty hitchhikers.

And the girls next door dress up like movie stars:

Mm, mm, mmm, mmm, mmm, I love FR.

We got cowboys; we got truckers;

Broken hearted fools and suckers.

An' we got husslers; we got fighters;

Early birds and all nighters.

And the veterans talk about their battle scars:

Mm, mm, mmm, mmm, mmm, I love FR.



I love FR,

It's my kind place.

Just loggin' on each morning,

Puts a big smile on my face.

It ain't too far; come as you are.

Mm, mm, mmm, mmm, mmm, I love FR.



I've seen short skirts; we've got high-techs;

Blue collar boys and rednecks.

An' we got lovers; lots of lookers;

I've even seen dancin' girls and hookers.

And we like to drink our beer from a mason jar:

Mm, mm, mmm, mmm, mmm, I love FR, yes I do!



I like my truck, (I like my truck),

An' I like my girlfriend, (I like my girlfriend),

I like to take her out to dinner;

I like a movie now and then:



But I love FR,

It's my kind place.

Just refreshin' the latest posts,

Puts a big smile on my face.

No cover charge; come as you are.

Mm, mm, mmm, mmm, mmm, I love this FR.

Mm, mm, mmm, mmm, mmm, I just love this ol' FR

[goldstategop]

Toby Keith is a Zell Miller Democrat. He backed Bush's re-election but he doesn't always agree with its policies. He's an outstanding American as well as a terrific country music singer.
