QUOTE Hey, if someone is running for high office then perhaps they should learn to respect and follow the law, no? The jokes almost write themselves. This would all be hilarious if it wasn't so true.
I honestly think these stories are an excuse to bash a candidate without bashing him/her.
If Hillary used "Cat Scratch Fever" and Ted Nugent bitched about it, I have a feeling that we'd hear a lot less about it than an irrelevant 90s rapper who doesn't want Trump using "Jump Around".
I'm on record as saying every dog in this race is a massive turd and I think the U.S. loses no matter what, but that doesn't mean I stop seeing the bullshit that goes on during the campaign, and the "music act wants candidate to stop using music" is a massive pile of shit.

Sure, but that pile of shit is not bigger than the "candidate uses music without permission because they don't think laws apply to them" pule of shit.

QUOTE I honestly think these stories are an excuse to bash a candidate without bashing him/her. Everlast goes to great lengths to bash Trump personally. Â I can't find anyone except desperate Republicans hardliners that are trying to hate on Trump without doing it explicitly and directly.
QUOTE If Hillary used "Cat Scratch Fever" and Ted Nugent bitched about it... Right. Â That's as likely as Cruz breaking out some Culture Club songs during his appearances.

To be fair, I don't think any of the candidates pick the music, nor do I think any of the candidates actually believe laws apply to them.
QUOTE I can't find anyone except desperate Republicans hardliners that are trying to hate on Trump without doing it explicitly and directly.
Oh please. That's all the MSM does towards Republicans. That was proven time and time again during Obama's campaigns as non-partisan media watchdogs would run numbers showing negative articles about Obama were far less numerous than negative articles about his opponents.
I give less than a fuck about some famous musician's politics. If you're truly having your vote swayed because Debbie Gibson leans right, then you should not be voting.

This isn't about Everlast's politics. Â It's about Trump not paying to use his shit or gaining permission to do so.
QUOTE That's all the MSM does towards Republicans. That seems to be quite direct bashing. Â They name names and places.
QUOTE If you're truly having your vote swayed because Debbie Gibson leans right, then you should not be voting. But having it swayed by the leader of your local Sierra Group or NRA chapter is cool...

Wrong. It's about Trump's campaign managers not securing the music and I would bet you anything that Dems do the same shit, yet don't get nailed for it because it's not seen as "evil" to let them use your songs.
QUOTE That seems to be quite direct bashing. Â They name names and places.
I don't get what you're saying here. Are you agreeing? Are you saying it's ok that the MSM is biased because they don't disguise it? Because you'd be wrong on both points.
There's a reason Republican is a bad word. There's a reason FOX News has a bad reputation. It's not all because of their mistakes or policies, but also because of a very well run smear campaign.
QUOTE But having it swayed by the leader of your local Sierra Group or NRA chapter is cool...
Who brought those up? Although, those groups have to buy commercial time, which is a LOT different than getting space during a show and disguising their political agenda as news.

QUOTE Dems do the same shit, yet don't get nailed for it because it's not seen as "evil" to let them use your songs. The artists can do whatever the fuck they want with their songs. If they want to give it away for free, they can. If they want to be dicks, they can stick it to you as the letter of the law allows ... that's Trump's default attitude towards pretty much anyone. I can't count the number of people he's sued in his time.
QUOTE Who brought those up? Although, those groups have to buy commercial time... Like voting the way your favourite musician does is so much worse than your favourite PAC talking head.
QUOTE Leisher's right, and only one side gets nitpicked that way. As we've been over before, and as others on this board have pointed out, the Repubs have no one but themselves to blame for their shitty, shitty PR.

Pachyderms still trying to find an alternative to the Dumpy Don. QUOTE Speaking to thousands in western New York, Trump argued anew that the person who wins the most votes in the primary process should be the GOP nominee.
"What they're trying to do is subvert the movement with crooked shenanigans," Trump said. ... Despite the complaints, Cruz came out ahead in Colorado after dedicating resources to the convention process and putting in personal face time on the day of the final vote, something Trump did not do. On Twitter, the Colorado GOP retweeted a message, saying: “You may not like CO's caucus system, but it's representative, and claiming delegates were 'stolen' insults the Republicans who participated.â€
Cruz spokeswoman Catherine Frazier also retweeted a message saying the rules “were publicly available for months to people who know how to read and understand words.â€
