Two Singers Call for a Political Truce

Rock singer John Mellencamp, a Democrat, and country singer Travis Tritt, a Republican, have teamed up to record What Say You, a song that makes a plea for political civility. “There’s a positive message and it’s that we should be able to say what is on our minds without suffering repercussions, whether you’re left, right, middle or whatever, and have an intelligent exchange of opinion,” Mellencamp says. “For some reason right now, that’s not happening. I think it’s a terrible place we’re in where people are at each other’s throats over politics.” The duet can be found on Tritt’s latest CD, My Honky Tonk History. “This song is sort of, ‘I have my opinions and I’ll be glad to share them with you, but between the two of us, can’t we find some common ground?’” Tritt says. “That’s the kind of country I want to live in. I thought it was a great message for the time.”

I think they have a good perspective. (And I love the video!)

I get a kick out of some of the discussions regarding this issue. If you point a finger at someone's carreer and voting record they say you are going NEGATIVE. Hell, it is public record, nothing negative about it, unless it stinks. On the other hand, people should not confuse records and carreer with personal life and hear say.

There is a slight difference about what you did 20 years ago and what you did yesterday in the Oval office, Bill. Not that that was such a bad thing, but then you LIED about it to a grand jury and judge. Not a good idea. Hmm, isn't someone named Martha Stewart serving time for false statements to a federal investigation? Go figure.

Yeah, but Martha Stewart was on the NY Stock Exchange Board of Directors when all that happened. Politicians are expected to lie. People in fiduciary oversight positions aren't allowed that luxury.

Now why would someone want to see something like that??
Besides - didn't Monica try and get the dress back?

Always wondered whatever happened to the concept of the loyal opposition. These days you're either with us or your anti-American.

Sad.
