In a recent interview with The Guardian, musician Kid Rock spoke bluntly about his fame, fortune, and family, and even made a few statements regarding some of the nation’s hottest political issues, including gay marriage, the war on drugs, and abortion.
The rocker first stated his belief that President Obama hasn’t fulfilled his campaign’s marquee promise, to politically change America, saying he feels the President has only further divided the country.
“I played Barack Obama’s inauguration even though I didn’t vote for him,” said Kid Rock, whose legal name is Robert Ritchie. “I didn’t agree with his policies, but there was an exciting sense of change in the air.” However, he said, “that promise hasn’t been fulfilled, the country is more divided than ever.”
Kid Rock, who identifies himself as a Republican, further elaborated his positions on some hot topics, revealing that he is rather moderate in regards to social issues:

Highly recommend AdBlock. Deleted 14 ads when I went to the site.
BTW, NRO is if anything worse. Before I got AdBlock, my browser used to hang before all the carp was loaded.
Worse than The Blaze?
Not exactly an intellectual giant. His views on “social issues” are actually pretty shallow.
Nugent is conservative, Kid Rock...not so much.
On the music industry political scale though, KR is probably way right, LOL.
I think it’s Alice Cooper that is also fairly conservative by entertainer standards.
really? have you ever been to Washington DC? lol
That is de rigueur in the nations capitol... most famous couple... Scalia and Ginsburg, who dine together regularly spouses in tow. Politics is a business, that doesn’t need to interfere with socializing. I think we have erred in introducing it into polite society... dinners were more pleasant when no one talked religion or poltics.
I regularly chastise my left wing friends who notoriously drop friendships with people based on politics. If we isolate ourselves completely, we have no hope of having an impact on the other side.
With S. Crow...and H. Williams.....I liked a lot.
I am too old to suffer fools any longer.
Duh?!?!?
Blaze popped up only 10 ads killed.
Would you turn down jobs from libs that want to pay you for your services, if you were an independent contractor?
I think you mean "Butt, they like it".
No need for the neuter pronoun...................
I have if the disease was known up front.
Rush had a flaming flamer sing at his wedding. Confusing isn’t it?
Libertarians share the tent with us...
Yep. I would not have gone to that wedding if it had been my friend/family. I try to stand my ground much as I can. I guess that is why the wife says I never go anywhere or do anything but work and occasionally a hunting trip and have no friends.
Not with me.
I’d sooner vote for Mitt, Jeb, Christie or any number of RINO’s (hell even a few democrats) before I’d vote for a lib.
Johnson? Paul? Are you kidding me?
