I also think his candidacy could have impact beyond Michigan, especially in a midterm election.
My "profile" of a Kid Rock Republican would be fiercely patriotic and anti-big-government. I suspect they'd take a different view than most conservatives on marijuana. Surprising to some, I think they'd strongly support religious freedoms, because they would embrace a "Being Left the Hell Alone" platform.
In my own family, my 22 year old son takes a harder-line, more rhetorically aggressive approach to conservatism than is the historical norm, and he's not alone. I'm telling you, his generation is fed up.
His crowd identifies much more with a conservative like Kid Rock than George Bush.
I'm so tired of these old socon cucks. They've accomplished nothing. They haven't banned a single abortion or stopped a single gay marriage. They've succeeded, however, at shipping our entire manufacturing base overseas, squandering American blood and treasure in endless Middle Eastern crusades, and importing millions upon millions of unskilled illiterate immigrants to take what few jobs we have left.
Absolutely totally useless.
And Kid Rock is insufficiently pro-life or anti-gay for their tastes? I puke on them.
