Today AOL is spotlighting Toby Keith's new Music Video 'American Ride'
(Excerpt) Read more at music.aol.com ...
That’s your problem. He made a mistake and is now on the WH enemies list. He has always done fundraisers for both Dems and GOP here in OK. He is a registered Dem who supported Pres Bush to the hilt on the Iraq War and supports our troops in Afghanistan and Iraq plus around the world.
A lot of conservatives and conservative commentators supported Obama because they didn’t want McCain. If it was anyone else but McCain I might see it your way but he was a tough sell.
i hope he is singing at the million med march today cause i cant find anything on news about it.
Hey I still blame a lot of people right here on FreeRepublic who helped get McCain nominated. Of course what good does that do? They're just going to do the same thing the next time around and ensure an Obama second term.
Excuse me if I fail to share your enthusiasm about something that would directly benefit an obama supporter.
I don’t have a problem, he does... because he’s not going to fool us again.
I’m sure he can still make a living selling his noise and cartoons to his lib friends. He sure won’t be found homeless or broke like many Americans have and will.... thanks to his boy, Obama.
I must admit surprise..... that Keith has yet to make an album with the Dixie Chicks.
I never heard of him -- but then I don't keep up with popular music. But he was one of the four on the front cover of one of the supermarket rags (the Globe, I think) that went with a story on voices Obama would like to silence! I wondered why (I think two of the others were Palin and Beck, but I'm not sure -- I didn't buy the rag!)
I was curious about Toby Keith, bein' as I never heard of him . . .

What did he change his mind later?

Toby Keith should have followed his instincts and said no endorsement but his friends were telling him to endorse Obama

I have to ask. Your posts sound as though you are pretty close to Toby, that you have some insight into what his actual instincts are.
I give him his props for entertaining the troops, but he went from singing about ‘me me me, doncha like me, you should, i’m rich and famous’ to singing about the troops in about the same amount of time as it took to take out Saddam’s Republican Guard in operation Iraqi Freedom (no time at all).
Supports Obama, sings with Willie Nelson, sorry his conservative creds are questionable, his love of money undeniable.
I think it’s great he is so supportive of the troops. I’m not a fan of the lyrics though. In a way, it’s good he’s pointing out all wrong turns this country is taking, but it’s really a depressing song. I think whoever wrote the song has something against women, as the lyrics about moms and girls are derogatory. (I realize that’s been happening for years to men, fathers in particular.) I’m not deeply offended or anything, but just not a fan.
Supports Obama? Got a link for that?
I can only find this: http://www.cmt.com/news/country-music/1596198/toby-keith-registering-as-independent-voter.jhtml
I love that song, but I’m like my daughter... he broke my heart last election. I mean of ALL the Democrats to endorse???
It made me feel like he is playing patriotic folks as suckers. “Sing a song about loving America and I’ll make millions!”
My daughter (the country music lover of all time) would snap you in two for that statement! LOL She said “I wish I could marry Tim McGraw. Until he takes off his hat.”

The money quote: “And I think he’s the best Democratic candidate we’ve had since Bill Clinton. And that’s coming from a Democrat.”
Sounds like support to me.
Sorry I don’t buy it. Your source is the Huffington Post? I’d question that source for sure. And obviously Obama WAS the best candidate the Democrats had since Clinton... because they both won.
Unless you got something else, I’d be more inclined to believe the following article which isn’t from the Huffington Post and is dated later than the one you cite and says he’s a big Palin supporter.

LOL. Country Music Television website as your source, and you question mine.
I really don’t know the answer, nor do I really care all that much.
I think Toby is a fake. For that I have no documentation at all, as it is my personal opinion.
