Big Man No Guts

Toby Keith likes to say he's a Southern Democrat, but we all know better. You see, like a lot of Nashville musicians who are Democrats, Keith doesn't have the balls to support a Democrat for President or Senator or whatever. He's playing to his base. And the majority of Country fans are Conservatives. At least that's they way its perceived. If Keith's hit days were over, he might have the balls to do what Merle Haggard has done and actually write something relevant about the state of the world. But he hides behind his audience, afraid to let those Southern Democrat leanings tilt him to go against the grain.
Toby Keith recently came out and threw a few disses at Barack Obama. This from a man who once wrote a song in support of lynching black people. All of this got me thinking if any Country act not named the Dixie Chicks would come out and support Obama. I mean, if John Rich of all people can write a campaign song for that Old Man who is also running, then all gloves are off. But I doubt that any Country act that's still courting Nashville radio will get on the same stage with Obama.
