98. For some country artists, it's a career move
I've been in the industry for most of the last 18 years. Playing the traditional family values card and paying homage to the GOP is good for the career. Ever wonder why you don't see any publicly open homosexuals in country music? Trust me, the gay artists are there, but they don't dare admit it. For the the most part, country music speaks to conservatives, and unless you're a legend (Willie, Merle), you don't rock the boat.

I don't know about Lee Ann Womack, but as for Brooks and Dunn, I don't doubt they're died in the wool republicans. They're also pretty good guys. I, for one, refuse to "Dixie Chick" them because I disagree with them politically.
