Kid Rock launches website for potential U.S. Senate run

[octoberlib]

Is Kid Rock running for U.S. Senate?

The Michigan native plans "a major announcement in the near future," according to his Twitter page.

A "Kid Rock for Senate" website has appeared online, and the "All Summer Long" singer, whose real name is Robert Ritchie, emphatically confirmed its authenticity in another Twitter post.

1. Senator of what, Doucheistan? First a fucking fake ass businessman and now a

fucking fake ass redneck.

[octoberlib]

4. On his campaign website one of his logos is Pimp of the Nation. I'm sure the

evangelicals will find an excuse as to why this isn't a bad thing.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

11. I'm convinced these assholes could wear t-shirts saying "The Virgin Mary

wasn't much of a virgin after I got done with her!". And these dickbag so-called Christians would still vote for them.

[beam me up scottie]

27. You know it.

Evangelicals will just say he found Jesus during the campaign like Twitler did.

[Solly Mack]

2. Snort. He can grab his dick in a campaign ad while singing get a piece of the rock.

And, sadly, he probably would. Even more sad? Some people would vote for him because of the ad.

Ever read something about a right-winger and the most outlandish ideas come to mind, only to realize that for right-wingers, it wouldn't be outlandish?

[octoberlib]

8. He's the perfect 'deplorable" candidate. An "outsider who's politically incorrect". SOLD!

[Solly Mack]

9. Truth!

[C_U_L8R]

3. Hey if Donald F'n Trump can become President

Any old dumbshit can become Senator, right??
Stupid rising.

[Blue_Tires]

5. Just what we need... Another wholly unqualified celebrity grifter anti-candidate

[TheFrenchRazor]

59. word. nt

[NightWatcher]

6. He's running on the "How dumb do I think Americans are" ticket

And he'll win because we're real fuckin dumb

[Tommy_Carcetti]

7. In "All Summer Long" he bastardizes not just one, but two, classic rock songs.

May he burn in hell.

The American people haven't been submitted to such a horror since Will to Power's "Baby I Love Your Way Freebird."

[FM123]

51. Right on!

[kysrsoze]

10. FFS. He's as dumb as Don Jr. President Camacho in the making.

[lunasun]

12. IDIOCRACY USA!!!!

Wonder how he plans to resolve early lyrics about calling cops pigs.... oh wait the trumpers wont care
a plus is hes into pussy grabbin
heres his plan from a hit song of his Cowboy

Well, I'm packin up my game and I'ma head out west
Where real women come equipped wit' scripts and fake breasts
Find a nest in the hills, chill like flynt
Buy an old drop-top, find a spot to pimp

Then I'ma Kid Rock-it up and down ya' block
With a bottle of scotch and watch lotsa crotch
Buy a yacht with a flag sayin' "chillin' the most"
Then rock that bitch up and down the coast

Give a toast to the sun
Drink with the stars
Get thrown in the mix
And get tossed outta bars

Sift to Tiajuana
I want to roam
Find Motown telephones and come back home
Start an escort service for all the right reasons
And set up shop at the top of four seasons
Kid Rock, and I'm the Real Mccoy
And I'm headed out west, sucker 'cause I want to be a

Cowboy, baby
(With the top let down and the sunshine shinin')
Cowboy, baby
(West Coast Chillin' while the boone's whinin') I want to be a cowboy, baby
(Ride at night 'cause I sleep all day) cowboy, baby
(I can smell a pig from a mile away)

I bet you'll hear my whistle blowin' when my train rolls in
It goes - Like dust in the wind
(Stoned pimp, stoned brew, stoned out of my mind)
I once was lost (but now I'm just blind)

Palm trees and weed, scabbed knees and rice
Get a map to the stars, find Heidi Flice
And if the price is right then I'm gonna make my bid, boy
And let Californi-A know why they call me

Cowboy, baby
(With the top let down and the sunshine shinin')
Cowboy, baby
(West Coast Chillin' while the boone's whinin') I want to be a cowboy, baby
(Ride at night 'cause I sleep all day) cowboy, baby
(I can smell a pig from a mile away)

Yeah, Kid Rock, you can call me Tex
Rollin' sunset women with a bootle of becks
See a slimy in a 'Vette, roll down my glass

And said "yeah this dick fits right in yo' ass"
No kiddin', gun slingin', spurs hittin' the floor
Call me hoss, I'm the boss, with the sauce, and the horse

No remorse for the sheriff and his eye ain't right
I'ma paint his town red then paint his wife white, uh!
'Cause chaos rock like Amedeus
Got west-coast pussy for my Detroit playas
Mack like mayors, ball like Lakers
They told us to leave but bet they can't make us

Why they want to pick on me?
Lock me up and throw away my key
I ain't no cheat, I'm just a regular failure
I'm not straight outta Compton, I'm straight out the trailer
Cuss like a sailor, drink like a mick

My only words of wisdom are just "suck my dick"
I'm takin' my pick up and down that coast and
Keep on truckin' 'til I fall in the ocean

with the top let back and the sunshine shining
(Cowboy) spend all my time at Hollywood and Vine
(Cowboy) riding at night 'cause I sleep all day
(Cowboy) I can smell a pig from a mile away
(Cowboy) with the top let back and the sunshine shining
(Cowboy) with the top let back and the sunshine shining
(Cowboy) Hollywood and Vine-in'

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

60. Wow!

I had no idea this song was that nasty.........

[lunasun]

61. Oh I don't care but the probable evangelicals and blue matters lining up to vote for him

is what will make me laugh . The evangelical crowd has already been proved to like nasty though with Trump @81%
Plus it's his thinking he is qualified and should be running for senate that is abhorrent to me more than his song writing but we are at Idiocracy now so he fits in with the wave

[Kaleva]

13. I'm hoping Ted Nugent, a Michigan native, also decides to run

The Motor City Madman-Kid Rock debates would be must see tv.

[standingtall]

14. If you want to vomit

they would just be kissing each others ass or arguing over which one of them was the bigger Trumptard.

[hatrack]

15. Because this country isn't nearly FUCKING DUMB ENOUGH YET!!!!!!!!!!!

Jesus Christ on a soda cracker, Kid Rock?

[beam me up scottie]

16. Shouldn't he use the Dixie swastika in his logo?

I'm sure his neo-confederate ideology will really help him in Detroit.

[Ken Burch]

23. He'd be focused on winning the "death to Detroit" vote in the rest of the state.

Not sure what it is about so many white musicians from Michigan(this guy, Ted,) being right wing.

[beam me up scottie]

26. Rock has a residence in Tennessee as well.

He fits in well with the local redneck racists.

[Ken Burch]

47. TN already has two right-wing senators, though.

Is either of those seats even up next year?

[beam me up scottie]

48. Bob Corker is up for reelection in 2018.

No way Rock could unseat him, he might have thought about running for his seat when Corker was being considered for a place in the Trump administration but that didn't pan out. Although Corker does have several serious Republican challengers.

[Ken Burch]

50. And no reason Rock would want to unseat him.

Politically, Corker has been a down-the-line Neanderthal-and I say that meaning no offence to any actual surviving early hominids, most of whom would likely be much more moderate than the average Tennessee Republican.

[irisblue]

40. BobSegar right wing? ::weeps::

[Ken Burch]

45. Correction: I had Seger wrong on that, and I've removed him from that list.

Of the three, he's probably the best musician...his greatest songs still hold up, three decades later.

[irisblue]

56. ::sniff::

In Ann Arbor in the early mid 70s he played local bars, and I saw him long before Kathmandu was released in 75 on Live Bullet. I had the LP, then the cassette, pret sure the CD is here as well.
Thank you.
I am relieved.

[Ken Burch]

62. Sorry to have needlessly alarmed you.

n/t.

[octoberlib]

33. Oh, he probably will. He's just getting started!

He's gonna bring the redneck party to the people!

[beam me up scottie]

35. If nothing else it should be entertaining.

I would say no one will take him seriously and he doesn't stand a chance but look what's living in the white house right now.

[DesertRat]

17. Another sign of the apocalypse. nt

[roamer65]

18. I want to see the contortions that fake Christians do to support him if true he is running.

This ought to be good.

[Snake Plissken]

19. ".....being floated as a candidate..."

Like a turd in the toilet bowl.

[Warren DeMontague]

20. what, Fred Durst wasn't available?

[octoberlib]

24. Well....

[Warren DeMontague]

29. Damn. GMTA.

I guess I'm not the only one with a category in my head filed "late 90s early 00s d-bags" under which them two dudes are essentially interchangeable.

[beam me up scottie]

30. LMAO!

[Ken Burch]

21. Can you actually run for office under a stage name?

Last edited Wed Jul 12, 2017, 09:23 PM - Edit history (1)

His actual handle is Robert James Richie-I admit I'm a little surprised there's no "Bob" between his first and last name.

Would any of his fans vote be able to figure out who he is if he was on the ballot under his real name?

[octoberlib]

25. I don't think you can.

[The Genealogist]

36. Pretty sure it happened here

I live in Springfield, Missouri and a children's show host who went by "Aunt Norma" on the show was "Aunt Norma Champion" on the ballot when she was ran for Missouri House and later Senate. Been years ago now, but I quite certain "Aunt Norma" was how it was listed. Not that she needed the stage name on the ballot; she was a Republican and that is all you need to be elected here.

[herding cats]

38. Jesse Ventura did, didn't he? nt

[Barack_America]

39. Actually, he grew up wealthy.

Father owned a car dealership.

[Ken Burch]

46. Wait...Kid's just a redneck wannabe? Like the Duck Dynasty guys and Larry the Cable Guy?

54. Childhood home listed for $1.3 million last year.

Father is a multi-millionaire.

Home had private stables, apple orchard, all of it.

Rock's a pseudo-redneck, because that shit sells. Idiots lap it up. He's a lot like Trump.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

22. His qualifications are he's rich and he's an idiot.

That makes him a shoo-in for the Republican nomination.

[Initech]

28. Wow, this is the textbook definition of irony.

The party that says celebrities shouldn't be involved in politics just got a celebrity involved in politics!

[kerry-is-my-prez]

31. Remember how the right used to call the left "long-haired hippies"? Another meme down the toilet.

along with us being "pinko commies." What memes do we have left other than latte-drinkers and Starbucks consumers?

[lib-ruhl]

32. Please stop...... you guys are killing me

I'm losing my breath from laughter.....

You nailed it on this one with the comments....

You guys are freaking awesome.....

[Lint Head]

34. Bwah ha ha ha ha! That will go over great. I met his limo driver

and know a couple of his sidemen. Drugs a plenty. His limo driver said he had to constantly clean his back seat from certain bodily fluids which shall remain nameless.

And also this...

Billboard: "Kid Rock was arrested early Sunday after a brawl at an Atlanta restaurant and spent about 12 hours in jail before being released, police said. The musician stopped at the Waffle House restaurant shortly after 5 a.m. after his performance at The Tabernacle." Oct 22, 2007

And this...

Kid Rock was arrested Wednesday by Nashville police on charges that he punched a disc jockey at an adult entertainment club.

The entertainer was released from custody about 10:15 a.m. after posting a bond of $3,000 on a charge of simple assault, a misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in jail.

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/cops-kid-rock-hit-strip-club-dj/

And this...

Kid Rock and Scott Stapp, singer of the band Creed, appear in a sex tape from 1999 in which the two are seen partying and receiving oral sex. California pornography company Red Light District planned to release the tape in 2006, but both Rock and Stapp filed with the California courts to sue Red Light District and stop the tape's distribution.
Wikipedia

Oh. Nothing negative here.

[octoberlib]

37. Omg!The superpacs running ads against him are going to have a lot of material. This guy couldn't

even get a security clearance.

[Drahthaardogs]

41. At least it would diminish his free time to make music...

No talent poser.

[SaschaHM]

42. His merchandise shop is run by Warner Brother Records...

This seems like a grift and a publicity stunt. Remember Sarah Palin's 2008 grifting bus tour? Still waiting for her to throw her hat into the ring and get demolished.

[MountCleaners]

43. Try this site instead...

[beam me up scottie]

44. Lol, he's getting ripped on Twitter: #Idiocracyisforrealz

[Blue_true]

49. Don't make fun of his candidacy, two years ago we laughed at Trump.

We have to go after this guy.

[still_one]

52. A right wing coke head. No thanks

[ecstatic]

53. I knew this was coming. The bar is so fcking low now

Any clown can run. When you think about it, who could possibly be worse than Trump--a narcissistic sociopath with dementia? It could be The Rock or Kanye in 2020. I like Dwayne Johnson, but come on. That's where we're headed though. It won't be as easy to clean up Trump's damage to the country as some might think.

[LovingA2andMI]

55. Well....This Should Make Senator Stabenow A Shoe-In...

After The Republican Finish Beating Themselves Up, Senator Stabenow will be able to be voted right back into her rightful seat in the Senate.

[Barack_America]

57. I know, right?

I'd much rather Rock than Amash.

[LovingA2andMI]

65. Yes, Justin Amash could be a problem for Senator Stabenow....

But with this "Person" entering the Republican field, Senator Stabenow's re-election is looking a little bit easier today.

[gldstwmn]

58. Congress perhaps...

But the Senate isn't about to let this guy join their exclusive club.

[spanone]

63. why not, the country is already a joke, what's one more.

[melman]

64. He's not really running

If you notice he just says the website is real. He doesn't say anything else about it. Just that the *site* is real,


And then if you click on the merch page on the site it goes to Warner Brothers Records. This is promo for a new album.

[TheMightyFavog]

66. So, he's running as a Republican, the party of true patriotism (tm)

Sherman, Step with me into the WABAC Machine. The date: February 1st, 2004.
