Dixie Chicks Poll Needs A LOT Of Help

[OrangeCountyDemocrat]

http://news.aol.com/entertainment/music/articles/_a/dixie-chicks-singer-slams-bush-again/20060522090809990001

The Dixie Chicks' Natalie Maines apologized for disrespecting President George W. Bush during a London concert in 2003. But now, she's taking it back.

"I don't feel that way anymore," she told Time magazine for its issue hitting newsstands Monday. "I don't feel he is owed any respect whatsoever."

For band member Martie Maguire, the controversy was a blessing in disguise.

"I'd rather have a small following of really cool people who get it, who will grow with us as we grow and are fans for life, than people that have us in their five-disc changer with Reba McEntire and Toby Keith," Maguire said. "We don't want those kinds of fans. They limit what you can do."

Freedom means freedom of speech.

Hey Freeps, don't you believe in the CONSTITUTION? I guess it's only ok to speak your mind when one agrees with YOUR opinion?

[Progressive4Life]

48. WTF? Still 43 yes; 57 no

With 108,853 votes.

I smell some freepin' going on...

[Emit]

52. I voted earlier, with

77,000 some odd respondents, and it was still 43 % yes. Something doesn't smell right. It did let me vote again, though, so that's probably what's going on.

63. done

[OrangeCountyDemocrat]

65. Well.....That Didn't Help.

It's still at 43% Yes. That's one lopsided poll. But it really doesn't matter, the real test will be how many albums and concert tickets they sell. Hopefully they'll find a lot of support, and new friends attracted to their music because of their political views.

69. just checked back & the results are still 57%-43%...

i think there's something definitely wrong with the poll.

[madmusic]

70. There is a "respect the office" factor

So we can never win this one, and it's surprising it is as high as it is.

Bump anyway. :)
