...despite the fact that 95% of the artists themselves are Democrats and/or hate the Republican party. Hilarious.

2. Yep. Have you heard that Springsteen, Mellencamp, and others have had to
request that they (Repubs) quit playing their stuff! I'd be mad as hell!

5. They should follow their slogan: "Country First"...
...and leave the rock artists the hell alone.

8. Until the country artists start shutting them out too.
As I said above, Willie Nelson told them no already. I think we can assume the Dixie Chicks are out of the question. Johnny Cash's estate took him off their playlist. Even Toby Keith claims to be supporting Obama. How many country singers can they actually get on their side?
