I'm not a country music fan really but I always thought Toby Keith was as right-wing as they come. Apparently he's a Democrat and supports Obama. Thoughts?

he has said he is a conservative democrat. Of course if he is picking Obama he can drop the conservative moniker

Blows my mind...if Nobama gets in he better get ready to write a lot more songs about how proud he is of the USA like he did from 9/11 b/c theres no doubt we'll be taken advantage of with having all out troops here in the states being reactive rather than proactive

most of his music comes off as conservative. it advocates war and revenge from 9/11, which generally aren't in line with liberal views
