Toby Keith is no longer a Democrat
The Democratic Party has lost a country musician as one of its supporters.
In an interview with CMT, Toby Keith said he is leaving the Democratic Party and becoming and Independent.
He said “I’ve been a lifetime Democrat, and I’m re-registering this year as an independent,” he said. “It’s strictly because my party, that I’ve been affiliated with all these years, doesn’t stand for anything that I stand for anymore.”
He also disapproves of the way the Democrats are attacking vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin. He believes the Republican ticket will win because the attacks on Palin will backfire.
He said “I’ve never been a huge John McCain fan. I appreciate everything he did for this country. But at the same time, the wackos are hammering her so hard, that they’re gonna make that ticket win. They’ve got a chance to win it, and they’re gonna blow it by hammering her. If the Democrats ever had a chance, after that Democratic convention, to win it, they blew everything they had by attacking her. The extreme nuts on the right side aren’t going after Biden. There are right wing magazines out there. Not as many as the lefties, but all the right wing magazines aren’t going after Biden.”
I wonder who Toby will end up voting for. He never said whether he will actually vote for McCain.
Since he’s an Independent now, I wonder if he will vote for the spoiler candidates Ralph Nader or Ron Paul?
