When my name was thrown out there for US Senate (Kid Rock Statement)
Kid Rock ^ | Jul 26, 17 | Kid Rock

Posted on 07/26/2017 11:16:28 PM PDT by LesbianThespianGymnasticMidget

When my name was thrown out there for US Senate I decided to launch kidrockforsenate.com. I was beyond overwhelmed with the response I received from community leaders, D.C. pundits, and blue-collar folks that are just simply tired of the extreme left and right bullshit. As part of the excitement surrounding this possible campaign, I decided to take a hard look to see if there was real support for me as a candidate and my message or if it was just because it was a fresh new news story. The one thing I've seen over and over is that although people are unhappy with the government, too few are even registered to vote or do anything about it. We have over a year left until an actual election, so my first order of business is to get people engaged and registered to vote while continuing to put out my ideas on ways to help working class people in Michigan and America all while still calling out these jackass lawyers who call themselves politicians.

During this time while exploring my candidacy for US Senate, I am creating a 501(c)(4) - a non-profit organization for the promotion of voter registration. Not only can I raise money for this critical cause, but I can help get people registered to vote at my shows. Since the announcement, the media has speculated this was a ploy to sell shirts or promote something. I can tell you, I have no problem selling Kid Rock shirts and yes, I absolutely will use this media circus to sell/promote whatever I damn well please (many other politicians are doing the same thing, they just feed you a bunch of bullshit about it). But either way, money raised at this time through the sale of merchandise associated with this very possible campaign will go towards our 'register to vote' efforts.

One thing is for sure though…The democrats are 'shattin’ in their pantaloons' right now…and rightfully so!

We will be scheduling a press conference in the next 6 weeks or so to address this issue amongst others, and if I decide to throw my hat in the ring for US Senate, believe me… it’s game on mthrfkers. -- Kid Rock

This vs a 46 y/o who still calls himself ‘Kid’.

If all we have to worry about is the Kid part, I'd say we're doing good.

Over the years, he has shown concern for his home state and I suspect he drove at least a few visitors that way.

If Al Franken can be a senator, anybody really can. And Kid’s a heck of a lot smarter than Al. (Kid’s real name is actually Robert Richie).

Getting rid of Debbie Stabenow is certainly a laudable goal. I have no problem supporting future Senator Rock.

Check out his Long Interview With Dan Rather

Yes, I know it is Dan Rather, but Kid Rock comes off rather well. Thoughtful and intelligent.

It’s show business branding. That’s all. That’s why Reginald Dwight became Elton John and why Louise Ciccone became Madonna. If Trump was born with a boring name like Elroy McFudd, he’d have to come up with a name like Trump.

Why doesn’t he call himself “Kid Rap”?

I agree , reading it, sounds like he isnt that serious but responding to external pressure to run... too bad. We could use more reg folk...

Kid Shelleen was well over 40 when he saved the day at Wolf City, Wyoming.

We know where his Torch Lake House is (or was). Have anchored on the sand bar in front of it and partied. Here is a link to one of my favorite pictures (Breitbart article so I won’t get Jim in trouble). It’s one of the best trollings ever of Madame President and the media by Kid, Sarah, and the Nuge: http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2017/04/20/sarah-palin-kid-rock-ted-nugent-visit-trump-troll-hillary/

At least he has the guts to call a spade a spade. And give his time to our Troops, while his opponent is trying social experiments on them, that they don’t need or want. Nor should we have to pick up the tab for. These are ELECTIVE procedures, not covered by Military health care. Not even Ret Tricare Prime or Life would cover this Trannie crap. They won’t even cover Lasix to fix badly done cataract implants. Nor do they cover boob jobs, even if it is medically necessary, unless for cancer.

Signs that he is really digging in and laying the groundwork will be after he starts using his real name,

Needs to be "Kid Rock" on the ballot. Nobody is going to know who the hell Robert Ritchie is. "I thought Kid Rock was running?"

When he was cutting his teeth in the Detroit rap scene, "white kid rock" was what the black rappers would call him when he showed up. "Ha ha! Here comes white kid rock!"

That's how he got his name.

I don't think he expected to poll in the lead but also he understands this could be the novelty factor of his rock stardom. I think the real kicker will be if he is still viewed as a serious candidate by Christmas.

He can use whatever name he wants. He's an outspoken American Patriot, unlike this queer fellow.

Better song is Born Free. Official version is on you tube and was shot in northern Michigan. The scenery is great.
