Kid Rock to join Ryan at Oakland University campaign stop

Source: Detroit News

Kid Rock will be in Detroit on Monday night playing host to Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan at a campaign stop.

Ryan, the running mate for presidential hopeful Mitt Romney, will be appearing at Oakland University Athletics Center's O'Rena in Rochester at 7 p.m. Kid Rock is expected to introduce Ryan at the Republican "Victory Rally."

Doors open at 5 p.m., and tickets for the 7:30 p.m. event can be obtained online or picked up at campaign offices in Royal Oak, Lake Orion, Bloomfield Hills and Utica on Sunday and Monday.

Earlier in the day Monday, Ryan will tour Cornerstone Schools in Detroit on Monday afternoon as part of the day-long visit to southeast Michigan.

that use "bitch" and "ho" a lot, as Cenk Uygur pointed out back in Feb. when KR first endorsed Romney, Fox Boobs had nothing against that, yet screamed and hollered whenever rappers associated with Obama (remember the non-troversy over Common at the White House Poetry Night?)

Middle-aged white males who have not expired from methamphetamine complications and who never learned that pop-rap-metal from the 90s sucked.

Powerful endorsement.

Not surprised he is a Puke. An arrogant, ass-kissing, race baiting, dead ended Puke at that. But didn't he do some kind of beatdown of Bush's wars in one song? How does he completely flip flop to supporting Rmoney-Ryand.... oh, right. They are good with that.

you know, since every single one of their songs represents ideas diametrically opposed to the rich guys rule! crowd and their fraud of a political party. But his connection to Kid Rock, this I get.

Here's Kid Rock at his finest, at his most real: a semi-literate bully with bad taste in music.

He IS Hank Williams Jr's buddy boy. I'm a working musician and whenever I do a Hank Williams song I'm always quick to tell the crowd that it is Hank SENIOR not his idiot son's songs that I'm singing.

And I know some of you are the strognest liberals in the legion.

If Michigan votes for the guy who said "let Detroit" fall, I will NOT know what to make of that state, save that it might finally take some of the "WTF" focus off Florida.
