Legendary Bluegrass Artist Ralph Stanley Endorses Barack Obama Transcript: "Howdy Friends, This is Ralph Stanley, and I think I know a little somethin' about the families around here. And after the last eight years, I know we all need a change. Now, nobody's lookin' for a handout, but I think we could use a leader who's on our side. And I believe that leader's Barack Obama. Barack'll cut taxes for everyday folks, not big business, so you'll have a little more money in your pocket at the end of the year. He understands that our kids shouldn't have to leave our communities to find work. That's why Barack'll make it easier to send your children to college, and help create five million new jobs, by investin' right here at home. I also know Barack is a good man, a father and a devoted husband. He values personal responsibility, and family first. So please join me, Ralph Stanley, in supporting a true friend of the people, who live right here in South-west Virginia. Barack Obama is the Change We Need."

You who say you are Christians and hate everyone are the joke. The world is better off without you. Ralph Stanley is pure class.

Tasinda, if you would have bothered to look at what you said to me in our first text, you would have seen that it was you who started this!!! I made a comment about abortion that you did not like soooo you proceeded to call me names and told me to shut the fuck up!! REMEMBER??? Of course not,people like you never do consider what you have said to cause an argument only your opinion is correct?

Rich Faggot? Nigger ? - I'm a a 78 year old white man that grew up with Ralph Stanley in the mountains of south west Virginia in extreme poverty. Ralph is a man of very low morals- he will do anything for a buck - right or wrong

Democracy and music are both poweful agents for good. Enlightened people, like Ralph Stanley, understand this.
