Reply #31: Toby Keith also has doubts about the Iraq War

But he's as pro-Bush as he can be!

You don't believe me? Here's a link: http://www.post-gazette.com/ae/20030926toby0926fnp5.asp

My point is that even though Mr. Armstrong disagrees with Bush "on just about everything," he still may very well be a Bush supporter. Even Kerry wonders about him:

"SAINT-ETIENNE, France --Sen. John Kerry thinks Lance Armstrong would make a terrific politician -- but fears he'd be running for the other party."

I was completely FLAMED over on DailyKos for saying that Mr. Armstrong is a Republican, so I won't say so here. Instead, I'll say he's a moderate who is completely lacking in principles. It's not that he's visiting a Republican, it's that he's visiting THAT Republican. Besides that, as another poster says, he's a SCAB, scabbing the Cindy line. This is about a Bush photo op to take Cindy's name off the front page of the newspaper.

If Mr. Armstrong cared about his country, he would take his bully pulpit and use it to snub the guy who got us into this murderous mess in Iraq. Yes, Mr Armstrong supports cancer research, but don't we all, and if we all were famous and could raise 9 million dollars to support it, wouldn't we? Especially if we were cancer survivors ourselves??

The notion that Armstrong visiting Bush to get support for cancer research is a bit naive. Bush would only give money to cancer research if he or his oil buddies could benefit. Otherwise, forget it. And I think Mr. Armstrong knows about this going in.
