Why in the world is Ludacris campaigning for Jim Martin.
After he called Hillary the b word I would not want to be in the same room as this man. I am not posting this in GDP because it has nothing to do with Obama and I do want Jim to win but Ludacris is a not someone I would want to associate with.

2. Because they need someone to get out the African American vote
Ludacris is a likely candidate to do so, lives in Atlanta, and apparently wants to show his support and to get rid of Chambliss... I don't like his reference to Hillary, but I sure as hell want to get the Dem vote out...

3. He probably appeals to a voting block (young hip-hop/MTV fans)......
..... that could be just enough to put Martin over the top, who knows....If he gets more people to the polls, more power to him.

10. Maybe because the demographics of the area have shown
that the guy that called HRC a name has higher favorable ratings than HRC?

Maybe he knows that "L" apologized and HRC is okay with "L" helping out? Maybe he knows more about the campaign than you do?

Sometimes folks have to stop focusing on the crap.

14. not only did he call her a b his songs are filled with...
words like "ho, b word, and fag".

Here is his "song" if you want to call it that


Go to sleep, hoe to sleep, go to sleep, hoe to sleep
If youre tired be quiet and go to sleep, hoe to sleep


Maaan, I tell a hoe to go to sleep (go to sleep)
They turn around and frown, gotta make em six feet deep
cause we knock em unconscious with that non-sense
Read inbetween that fine print, think about lyrical con-tent
Then about where your time spent
Mess around get your guys hit; a ten huuut!
I send three-six ol sheeyit, nigga whaaat?
If ya tired ya tired, if ya snooze ya lose
Butchu you wont wrap up ya bandages, or hell you would


Nigga I got shottys and semis - I love dro and henne ?
All brown and skinny, but Ive fucked up so many
I got qps and halves - if we beefin I blast
You sleepin I laugh, ask cris, Im off the rip
I had this hoe who talked too much; I had to off the bitch
2-0, mr. crayola; niggas know what I mean
cause I slang brown, white, yellow, purple and green
And all you faggot-muthafuckas gotta know the routine




Bitch its me again, kickin in your fuckin doors
I look for div-idends - I aint lookin for you hoes
You bitch cant com-prehend; let me put one in your boot
Let me put one in your boat, so you ? can go to sleep
So, lay down bitch; gimme all that you dreamed for
Gimme fancy cars, gimme bling-bling-bling, boi
It dont mean a thing, boi, for me that aint gon swing, boi
Them God damn toys; do you know what I mean, boi?


Now if you warrin and runnin from them three-six niggas
This forty-five gon give a reason to sleep, nigga
Or bustin massive round some s.k.
My last trip to a-t-l I fucked yo cascade
Im strippin bitches and ima ball fucker with a limp
They call me infer-stripper, sexy, red hoes pimp
And quick to sink her on the nigga cause this what its bout
We rob that trick and stick his dick off in his fuckin mouth
We memphis niggas




North, north, south, south, westwood, orange mouth
Nigga we be smokin life; never shut ya charlie brown
Memphis niggas in this bitch; pockets full, ya know we bail
Hooked up with my nigga cris, then we head to a-t-l
Playas wild, throwin bows, tellin chickens, fuck you hoe!
Nigga rollin up the moe, as long that white shit up they nose
Mayn this town is like my town, so we stayed and hung around
Juicy j be high as fuck; catch me in the lost and found


Better use common sense checkin me out for bitch I can stand for
And up, get yaself in this clique
Without my tongue licks, behind me gettin handcuffed by a slut
Look, Im from gittero what?
Southside niggas throw it up when its time to get buck
Niggas in the back of the club postin up
Waitin for a nigga thats new to make it up
Ass in, aint no askin; its no tolerance as long bitch check in
She wit me, comments will only getchu basically eternally resting
So abide by the call of the streets
If ya got a bitch better keep her on a leash
? gonna creep in ya home while you gone
Have you comin back findin nutt on yo sheets

16. I don't like his lyrics
and you don't know if Martin has asked HRC about how she feels or if "L" has apologized and/or anything regarding the campaign - do you live in Georgia?

6. He's not a politician, he's an entertainer.
Entertainers say stupid stuff sometimes. Doesn't mean they aren't good people and doesn't mean they can't help us turn out the vote. And that's the important thing.

8. Because he is a genius,
Or maybe because the idiot known as Fifty-Cent was unavailable.

Who gives a flying fuck what some "celebrity" thinks?

I have breakfast with Carlos Santana almost every morning. He has all manner of opinion on politics, all progressive.

So I asked him why he didn't go public with his views (a la Jackson Brown, Bonnie Raitt, and a host of our fellow entertainer/neighbors).

He replied, "Who cares what a guitar player thinks?".

12. OK, you'll love this.
I took the liberty to check your profile.

Your Hobby (or whatever) is "Strange Music".

I live in a small, God-Awfully expensive community (Tiburon, CA).

So, one day I was in the local grocer and one of the butchers asked me to follow him out to the parking lot.

I was figuring on some great reefer or a bad CD (I am known in the Marin musician thing).

We go out to Blake's car and he drags out this 6-foot-long didgeridoo (or however you spell it).

Plays this blown-out solo.

I am standing there, jaw dropped, when a voice behind me exclaimed, "Only in Marin, man".

Carlos.

New Morning Cafe, every morning (unless he is away).

Come on out and have breakfast with us, Forkboy.

Tom

13. That is an awesome story.
I mostly listen to very extreme music, but I've always loved what Carlos does. Such a smooth sound. Not to mention one of the coolest album covers of all time.



I would love to visit Cali one day, but on my budget I can barely make it out of town. x(

24. Lovely story
I have a good friend who lived in the US for decades. He still travels a lot. He told me he was staying in a hotel in Europe and had a great conversation with Carlos about Marley, Tosh and Dylan.

19. This whole argument is, well, ludicrous. Except for the part about Santana. I love that
album cover.

Soul Sacrifice.
