I was surprised to see some of the people who are registered as Republicrat. WTF does Kidd Rock have in common with the Republicrat Party? An ex-meth dealer who still uses drugs, drinks alcohol, and enjoys watching and performing in pornographic movies. The Republicrats would rendition his ass in the nearest foreign country if they could get away with it, all the while shouting Hallelujah and Praise Jesus.
Yeah, Kid Rock's only connection to Republicans, I think, is his rather slavish militarism and his rather admirable upholding of gun rights.
Which if you think about it, the whole gun rights thing doesn't belong to Republicans either any longer.
Why the hell is he with the Republicans now that you mention it? I've no problem with his drug use and stripper love, that's cool, but like you say, it does put him at odds with the republican party.
You evidently don't remember the days when the Pubs were considered the party of country clubbers and large businessmen and the Dems included everyone else including the rural hunter types. And veterans and servicemen were almost always DEMS, as Democrat was the war party then.
Why would I remember that, I'm pretty sure that time pre-dates my political awareness. My first political memory is Watergate, and at the time I had no real idea what was going on. The first consciously aware political activity I engaged in was during Reagan's terms, when the libertarian-ish types had taken the reigns for a short while.

The parties started switching identities then, but I don't recall the libertarians in the GOP.
That's why I said "libertarian-ish". Reagan's rhetoric and his tax cuts and putting focus in the public arena back on individual rights (in some respects) nearly drove the LP of that day out of business.

Yep that S and L collapse with lots of people losing their retirements and investments was a great libertarian acheivement.
