Forever The McCainest Kids

Jonathon Cook, lead singer with Texas power pop group Forever The Sickest Kids, has made a blog post criticising US presidential candidate Barack Obama and endorsing his opponent John McCain.

What American running for President of the United States would remove the symbol of his country? And worse, he replaced the flag with a symbol of himself....

HOPE AND CHANGE THE ONLY TWO WORDS HE PRMOTES. HOPE FOR WHAT CHANGE OF WHAT? What in the world does this guy stand for besides self promotion? GRRRR sorry I am on a tangent.

John McCain 08 FTW!
PlayRadioPlay!'s Dan Hunter issued a rebuttal shortly afterwards.

This is the flag pin crap all over again.

I'm not going to voice an opinion on who I want to be the next President of the United States, because that is irrelevant. All I'm going to say is this:

Jonathan, you are part of the problem with this country. The most important office in the United States of America is at stake, and you, like many media outlets, are dumbing down the important issues in a very important race to ridiculous gossip and propaganda.

I don't give a damn what John McCain wears. I don't give a damn what Barack Obama chooses to pin to his jacket. I don't give a damn what Ralph Nader eats for breakfast. I don't care if Jon McCain has tumors on his face, or the color of Barack Obama's skin, or what kind of shoes Bob Barr's wife wears. THERE ARE IMPORTANT POLICIES AND ISSUES AT STAKE, WAKE THE FUCK UP.

Stop tolerating this stupidity and educate yourself on all the political positions of all the presidential candidates to decide your vote.

I completely agree with Hunter, it's ridiculous to base who you're voting for off anything besides the issues.

Well he's got one thing right: McCain ftw in 08.

Other than that, this lead singer sounds like an idiot. And this Hunter fellow hit the nail dead on the head.This Message Edited On 08.09.08

Finally a band actually supports McCain instead of Obama.

Both candidates suck, but still.

Uh yea cuz that flag was copyrighted by North American Airlines that the jet was bought from.
I don't support Obama but they could at least do some research before they go spouting bs.

Sputnik- the number one site for people to debate over political issues under the guise of being music afficionados. We rock (debates)!

Yea, but they're scary too, because these stupid people are also voting. They are often completely ignorant of the issues and will vote based on narrow worldviews and ridiculously pointless "controversies" like Obama's plane. Hunter is exactly right about this being dumbed down politics, and its sad.
Obama removes the American flag from his airplane. In other news, Osama bin Laden is still at large.

This band has to be the dumbest bunch of musician's ever. I'm willing to bet that the dumbest member of the beastie boys is probably more intelligent than this entire group of sloths.

And not even because I disagree with him. Just because their reason for disliking Barack Obama is such utter and complete horseshit. It's like me saying that I dislike John McCain because he's got a half-assed combover. Or that he's from Arizona so I can't like him because I hate the Cardinals. This Message Edited On 08.09.08

Because the fact that said candidate trashes all over his country every chance he gets is an irrelevant issue.... people ARE idiots.

Although Cook makes the other side look bad because of his lack of tact and eloquence. Musicians, as a rule, really do need to stay out of politics.

I honestly don't mind the band but Johnathan's post is just retarded. Honestly I'm not surprised though, I mean they are from Texas so why wouldn't they want part II of the Bush Administration in office?

Oh and Thor please please tell me what Rody said about these guys. That dude is hilarious, especially when intoxicated.

If you look at where they stand on issues, you'll find that McCain is absolutely nothing like Bush, making the possibility of a Bush II administration absurd. Unfortunately.

There's conservative bands, but they usually suck, lol.This Message Edited On 08.09.08

Hahahaha. Voting for Obama's not cool because kids like him, better rebel and vote for the old Republican. Now that's sticking it to the man!

Obama has a new controversy every week. he gets caught in lies about 2x a month at the very least. it's a big deal because if he can't act straight on the campaign trail, how can we trust him in office to make official decisions?


McCain doesn't get much of a spotlight. I really doubt he'll win. but he's not all that conservative. he seems a bit of a moderate conservative.

for me, my vote for McCain is based mostly on the war. Other issues such as health care and taxes come in. McCain makes promises that he's capable of. Obama set his goals to a near impossible level. I think he'll screw up badly if he gets in office.

Ha. You're funny. McCain's stump speech tax plan would cost $2.8 trillion more than his official plan, and he has no way to pay for it.

Obama doesn't get caught in lies. Maybe you're confusing him with McCain?
