Video Description:
Legendary Bluegrass Artist Ralph Stanley Endorses Barack Obama
Transcript: "Howdy Friends, This is Ralph Stanley, and I think I know a little somethin' about the families around here. And after the last eight years, I know we all need a change. Now, nobody's lookin' for a handout, but I think we could use a leader who's on our side. And I believe that
leader's Barack Obama. Barack'll cut taxes for everyday folks, not big business, so you'll have a little more money in your pocket at the end of the year. He understands that our kids shouldn't have to leave our communities to find work. That's why Barack'll make it easier to send your child
ren to college, and help create five million new jobs, by investin' right here at home. I also know Barack is a good man, a father and a devoted husband. He values personal responsibility, and family first. So please join me, Ralph Stanley, in supporting a true friend of the people, who l
ive right here in South-west Virginia. Barack Obama is the Change We Need."

Dang. I used to like Ralph Stanley. He probably won't lose any sleep knowing I'm burning my Stanley CDs. ATTENTION ALL ENTERTAINERS: WE DON'T WANT TO KNOW YOUR POLITICAL VIEWS!!! KINDLY KEEP THEM TO YOURSELF!!! There are many companies and artists which I will never spend a dime on if they have different political views than mine. If you operated a diner, would you want Democrats and Republicans to spend their money there? Put an Obama sign in the window and I'll never be back!
Your racism is ... ( 1 week ago by tasinda)
Your racism is embarrassing. I found this clip searching for Bluegrass music. I was touched that this artist, Ralph Stanley, came out and supported Obama, at the risk of alienating his fans. My father played with the Sons of the Pioneers back in the 60's when they were on tour but he also played with many black blues musicians. Most musicians, well...*good* ones and by that I mean talented ones, rarely hold racist beliefs. That's because good music, like God, crosses all barriers.
It would be awesome ... ( 1 week ago by dan10things)
It would be awesome of right wingers could wait and judge Obama on what he actually does instead of blaming him for what Rush Limbaugh says he might do. The reality is, Americans have spoken, we want Obama. And you'll have to live with it, just as we had to live through 8 years of Bush, the biggest government in US history, and 5 trillion dollars of new debt. Judge people on what they actually do, and not your assumptions.

Play the Banjo and Shut up Ralph!!! We are in a sad shape today with a man like Obama in the white house. The simple fact that he in favor of any type of abortion and does not support the definition of marrage being between a man and woman, makes every attempt Stanley at singing gospel music and saying he is a christian, a joke.
