Michigan resident Robert Ritchieknown to fans as that Cicero of shitty country-rap, Kid Rockhas fired back at watchdog groups suggesting that his near-constant comments about running for office might actually make him subject to the U.S.A.s electioneering laws. Faced with accusations that selling signs with slogans like Kid Rock For Senate 18" makes him a candidateand thus beholden to the Federal Election Campaign Act, which requires candidates to track and report donations and campaign contributionsRitchie fired back with the same sort of measured response that the Michigan electorate can probably hope to see from him if they get blazed out of their goddamned minds and elect him into office in 2018:

I’m with you.
He should tell them he’ll show all HIS records when Obunga, both Clintons, Maxine Waters, Harry Reid, Nancy Poolousy, Di Feinstein, Jim Comey, Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder, et al show ALL of THEIRS.

A girl who used to party where KR parted and filmed “Summertime”. If you want to know what Northern Michigan looks like (and how we play!) watch the video! :)
Was in the same graduating class at HH Dow High School with Bill Schuette.
Oop's, I meant Marshall Mathers?
(sorry, I got my Beavers mixed up)
What was he like then? Did you know him? He is among my very very favorite Michiganders.
I saw a Texas license plate in Gaylord the other day and left a note on the windshield upon which I wrote "God Bless Texas". We see a lot of Texans here in the summer and they say it is the number one state from which people move to Michigan.
Where are you? I have already told Kid on twitter that i would be his upnorth campaign person...so far he has not taken me up on it. Sniff, sniff.
Kid rock is not selling CDs.. his label is. Wonder how that would work with reporting
Bill was a nice guy in high school ... ran with the jocks but wasn’t a d*ckhead about it. I played one season with him on the football team: he was the quarterback and I was a free safety. I left the team after my freshman year to concentrate on concert and marching band and orchestra. To the best of my memory, I believe that he also played on the baseball team as well.
Oh, really? The body that has embraced Al Franken and Teddy Kennedy isn't noted for its fastidious sense of association. That would be the very least of our worries.
Wow that you knew him though. He is my dream governor.
You know we have a muslim MD running who thinks Michigan should become a sanctuary state. I wonder if he has even been up here to the redneck part of the state, where opening week is a reason to close down half the businesses and the hospitals list it as equal to Christmas in priority for requesting time off.
Abdul something and he was the head of the health dept I think I read recently.
Keep us in your prayers!! I don't know how I would get out of bed in the morning if this guy actually made it.
Famous last words.
"Jesse Ventura" comes to mind...
Then again, you never know.
I hope he runs!
When I worked at a nearby hospital, we kept count of the number that came in from the sandbar every year on the 4th.
To a Stalinist the first day of recorded history is today.
Young journolists may not know these things but the senior editors all do.
And dick gregory and pat paulsen got their names on official ballots. They did run.
There’s no rancor like a butthurt Democrat.
He has enough music that is not rap to keep me happy now and then...but I read something a month or so ago about how he rose to fame in the music world and the detailed piece suggested he had incredible skills at selling himself and working with groups and people to get where he wanted to go.
According to my husband, Kid Rock is an incredible musician.
Well, he has already recorded his Campaign Song:

More power to him.....
