Re: Random Political Comments
Actually, she just gave a reason why she "seemed to lean" Republican. It's because in country music the past 20 years they are not really allowed to be liberal. So, is that cool in your book? Isnt that the same thing? Fuck man....Willie Nelson....big time liberal. Johnny Cash fought against oppression of black people in the prison system. Garth Brooks....liberal. Emmylou Harris, liberal. Kris Kristopherson.....liberal. Steve Earle.....has always been super liberal and is a Bernie fan. And the list goes on.Jason wrote:It's possible.

Re: Random Political Comments
That's a great point. The pressure specific to the country music industry where you have to appeal to conservatives could very well have been the reason for her early "beliefs".

She saw what happened to the Dixie Chicks, so she didn't want to share her political views. Toby Keith was a registered Democrat and voted for Obama. Now, he says he is independent. Gotta keep them record sales up, I guess lol.

Re: Random Political Comments
The other point to note is that a decade ago the Republican Party was different from the current party. At least in a few clear ways. Could be that’s informed her view?

Yeah, that's fair. And that happens to a degree in these forums, too.

Not buying that for a second. She clearly grew up in a Conservative household and becoming a celebrity changed her viewpoints. Nobody will ever admit to that, left or right.

i have no doubt that she was raised conservative. how many people come into adulthood with different beliefs than they were raised into? it's not that big of a deal how she came into it.Jason wrote:Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard are two of the biggest names in the history of country music and they are some of the most outspoken liberal celebrities as well.Jmac Attack wrote:Actually, she just gave a reason why she "seemed to lean" Republican.

Re: Random Political Comments
If she was truly conservative, why didn't she align herself with more conservative celebrities? Maybe she was attracted to a more liberal way of thinking?

Re: Random Political Comments
Conservative celebrities tend not to be looked upon so highly in Hollywood. You should hear the shit people say about Clint Eastwood. I mean, he could've totally done what other celebrities do and whine about people talking shit, but he addresses it every now and then by firing back and calling millennials the biggest pussies who ever lived. lmao.Jmac Attack wrote:If she was truly conservative, why didn't she align herself with more conservative celebrities?
