While Heart did not and would not authorize the use of their song at the RNC, there's irony in Republican strategists' choice to make use of it there."<<

A few years ago the voters passed a mandate that a certain percent of electricity had to come from alternate sources. This of course was vehemently opposed bu the "energy" lobby with the claim that it couldn't be done. Well, not only was it done, it was completed years ahead of schedule.

People still talk about Heart, their songs are in current video games. Just because you don't dig them, doesn't mean that they are worthless. Grow up. Some people would rather do what's right than play political kiss ass.

Originally Posted By mawnck They're standing up for what they believe in, DAR. Is this something you're opposed to? Because there was some guy on TV last night who seemed to be in favor of it.
Originally Posted By DAR No they can say what they want all I said was people were talking about them something that hasn't been done in awhile.
Originally Posted By DAR Okay getting of Heart I do have to ask who was in charge of security there. I know the one guy up the balcony didn't too much. But there was the one lady who started to charge the stage. How hard is it to miss these people, they're the ones that smell like weed and b.o. They're going to stand out at the GOP convention. I will say this I don't think they are in any way indicative of those who would consider passing a vote for Barrack Obama that is high level fringe stuff and I think they find reasons to reject Obama too.
