Toby Keith is a registered Democrat

Well kiss my grits:

Q: With this new album, is it a relief not to have to deal with the controversy from the "Angry American" song?

A: Yeah, well, you know, my song was more for the police action that took place in Afghanistan — chasing a bad guy down that had killed a bunch of Americans. That bled over into the Iraq war, and a lot of people want to paint me with that (conservative) brush. But I'm a lifetime Democrat, and that really pisses them off. They want me to be this big right-wing nut. I'm just a patriotic guy that was angry after 9/11 and knew our troops were going to have to go into Afghanistan because that country wasn't going to do the right thing and turn (Osama bin Laden) over to us.

I wonder how long it will take the right wing to Dixie Chick ol' Toby now that they know he's on the dark side?
