Toby Keith did not exist to a large chunk of the country before 2002.

TNT: You mentioned how people paint you with this broad stroke as being extremely right-wing and jingoistic. Can you point to a belief that you have that might surprise people?
TK: This is my favorite one. I'm a lifetime registered Democrat. That completely freaks people out. I helped to campaign in Oklahoma (for Democratic Gov. Brad Henry.)
Steve Largent, the hall of fame football player, was his running foe. And he was on the Republican ticket. And me and some other friends went around and did interviews and told the state of Oklahoma what we thought about Brad (and) how good he was gonna do. And he's done great.
I always vote for the guy who can get it done. And it ain't nobody's business who I vote for, but I voted for Clinton twice. And that just blows people's minds when they hear that. And here's the thing. Just because you're pro-troops doesn't mean you're pro-war. And just because you're anti-war don't mean you're anti-troops.
Just because you don't support the war people think you're anti-troops and you're a bad guy. And just because you go support the troops and rah-rah the troops up all of a sudden you're pro-war. Those are the two biggest misconceptions of the whole thing. |
