Nope They are Pro Obama
at least judging from one of the members (Jonny)?
he states he supports Obama and had just ordered an Obama t-shirt
per the interview - link here if really interested: http://www.fpif.org/fpiftxt/5284
At least lyrically they are saying some new things -
They should be introduced to www.campaignforliberty.com
You all know what to do -
since they decided to go with a major label -
they are probably pressured to appeal to the majority too -
keep this in mind - and don't kid yourself...
they definitely get it in a big way...
And yes, I believe one or more of the members do support Obama (Which we obviously all believe is a mistake)
However, from what I have heard they all have different political perspectives and points of view, and I am happy that they are working in their avenue to bring awareness and change.
And Im really digging their shit

lol...
as long as they are paying attention ...
It's kinda like some of the members here with a soft spot for Kucinich =) ...intent is good all though maybe a lil misguided =)
and wowm i'm giving their disc a listen ... all their songs are like that ... impressive.

Perhaps...
I seem to remember an Obama link or something similar on their myspace
page at one time - and they have the trendy "Rock The Vote" link on there
now - lyrically there are some real cool things going on - can't deny that.
I downloaded a couple of them from I tunes.
I also remember sending them a message to request that one of them
wear a Ron Paul Revolution shirt during one of their big T-Wee appearances.
to try to feel them out about any such support -
unfulfilled ....
yep..
I hadn't really paid attention to the song .....but for some reason tonight i watched the vid ... and checked the lyrics....and found it interesting ...
as misplaced as their allegiance may or may not be ...lol... they are on the right path me thinks.
