If Eminem was a politician would he be a democrat or republican?
I was listening to some of his music once in a Bejing taxi and i thought: "if Eminem was a politician would he be a democrat or republican?"

What do you think?

Stupid questions but i've been losing some sleep over it.

6. Hardly a Freeper, you must be thinking of Kid Rock.
Marshall Mathers is totally prole and all about the Real Freedom for the people, not the kind of freedom we are fighting for in the ME, the freedom for power elite corporations to exploit the last of the world's resources without paying the indigenous people anything. It's the new Indian war, Manifest Destiny on a global scale. But I digress. . .

back to Eminem, he's way left.

5. Left and getting Lefter
He's "one of Us".

He made a few "youthful indiscretions," but unlike certain Commanders-in-Chief, he wised up at 22, not 40. And it didn't take Jesus to straighten him out, just having a child.

7. yeah.. eminem is a leftie
i've heard enough of his songs to know that. have you checked out White America? the video is available at Guerrilla News Network:
http://www.guerrillanews.com/white_america/

also read the lyrics of the song:
"America, hahaha, we love you, how many people are proud to be citizens of this beautiful
country of our's, the stripes and the stars for the rights that men have died for to protect,
the women and men who have broke their neck's for the freedom of speech the United States
government has sworn to uphold, or so we're told..."

and this is just one song.

9. Well considering that he is a democrat, I don't see why he wouldn't
run as one.

13. Used to be Repub, now Dem
my guess, anyway. His early, stupid homophobic, racist, and misogynistic blather was pure Repub. Lately, he's been making noise like he's growing up, paying attention to what's happening beyond himself, and getting some awareness. So, he's moving left. As people do when their frame of reference is more than just video games, hate radio, and cell phone conversations with their sheeple friends.

15. i think
you should take the homophobic stuff for what it's worth. it's just excessive macho nonsense that all rappers do. but he's a poor kid from detroit, and believe me, he doesn't forget his roots.

and watch the video for "white america," if you're still not sure what his political leanings are. and surely we haven't forgotten the whole secret service debacle after that "I'd rather see the president dead" line in the leaked song.
