Mellencamp-Clinton Tix Ready For Saturday

Interesting, someone had posted an article previously, indicating that original Edwards supporter John Mellencamp had shifted to the Obama camp after Edwards suspended his campaign. But it appears JM is trying to help Clinton as well. As the article indicates, "You might say he’s an equal-opportunity rocker."

"John Mellencamp fans who want to attend the singer’s performance at a Hillary Rodham Clinton event on Saturday night need to pick up free tickets online or at a campaign office, an announcement today said.

Mellencamp will join the Democratic presidential candidate on the Lawn at White River State Park, 801 W. Washington St., at 8:30 p.m. Saturday. Gates open at 6:30 p.m.

"Mellencamp sees Democrats as the greatest hope for change, Bob Merlis, Mellencamp’s publicist, said earlier this month, though he noted that “neither candidate is as liberal as he would prefer.” Mellencamp supported John Edwards earlier this year and performed for Wesley Clark, Howard Dean and Edwards in 2004."

:toast:

I salute you.

with that name of course. The ultimate unity ticket.

I can't take credit.

That was a name a friend of mine used for his comedy rock band a few years ago. Spinal Tap was taken. I wasn't lying when I said I prefer Bruce Cougar Mellenstein :) Mostly just drunken mumbling about cars, garages, turnpikes and stuff.

But this Indiana hayseed was raised on both. so its mostly poking fun at childhood. It was either that or a band called Van Hagar and that Dude from Extreme.

They know who the enemies are and do their part.

that Mellencamp, who was a strong Edwards supporter, is staying neutral.

I just want a nominee to kick McThug's ass.

Eventually one will surface.

Personally, I cannot choose either one. I don't find a true "Edwards agenda" in either platform.

Since you edited your post, I'll have to edit my answer. I believe Edwards would have kicked Son of Cain's ass; Clinton or Obama? I'm not so sure. We can only hope.

Oh well...

I respect him going back to his "Save The Farm" days...

It appears we are as much a part of the problem as the media we seek to change.

if his candidate will win, then lets see... he supported bill and he won 2 elections.....bruce supported gore and he lost...bruce supported kerry and he lost, and now he supports obama....odds are bruce and obama will lose....hey maybe bruce better go back to a clinton and get his average up...

I guess that explains why you're a Hillbot :evilgrin:

I can't make up my mind otherwise!

Since my Ouija board is missing, I guess I'll have to ask Hannah Montana. :(

Yee-haw

So later this month, according to THIS INVITATION, the presidential campaign of Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY, is holding a "Rural Americans for Hillary" lunch and campaign briefing at the end of this month….

..but she's holding it in Washington, DC….

…at a lobbying firm…

… and specifically, though it's not mentioned in the invitation, at the lobbying firm Troutman Sanders Public Affairs…

…which just so happens to lobby for the controversial multinational agri-biotech Monsanto.

You read that right: Monsanto, about which there are serious questions about its culpability regarding 56 Superfund Sites,wanton and "outrageous" pollution, and the decidedly unkosher (and quite metaphoric) genetically-bred "Superpig."

He hasn't endorsed either remaining candidate, so I assume he must have reservations about both.

this -I don't know how anyone could support this woman. I thought her connections to Jackson Stephens WTI East Liverpool Toxic Waste Incinerator were bad!

Cool.

It appears Edwards and his platform are still tops for Mellencamp, otherwise he would have endorsed one over the other. But yes, he is a hard working Dem.!

spelling edit

:hi:

I wouldn't be surprised if he roundhouses all of the candidates and installs Huckabee as his puppet. Long live the Chuck Norris empire!

and kick his neocon ass!

i thought you were implying she would sing- YIKES!

So it looks like he's supporting the Dem nominee, whoever it is. Go John!

oh well.
Celebrities making statements and doing events for more than one candidate is common.
