If he's "The Boss", then I quit!!!!

I hope this guy chokes on a guitar pick.

He's is a capitalist so full of shite....always has been.

Btw...Bruce...ratting your hair up and outwards isn't going to help you look any younger.

Try some of that hair in a can spray.

On these things: 

"rendition," "illegal wiretapping," "voter suppression," "deregulation," neglect of New Orleans," unfettered free markets," "death."

1.) Rendition was policy established by the Clinton admin. Gore said, according to Richard Clarke, "of course it's illegal - go grab their ass.." Clinton told the CIA man in charge of his program, "I don't care what you do with them." President Bush effectively ended the program, as we now have Gitmo to send them to, where they are under our control - instead of Egypt, etc.

2.) Illegal wiretapping. Once again, other than the fact that the congress supported what Bush was doing, the vast majority of the American people supported it, and --  did you not read this weeks news?

Jan. 15, 2009 - CBS.   A U.S. Foreign Intelligence court released a ruling Thursday upholding the right of the president and Congress to wiretap private international phone conversations and intercept e-mail messages without a court-issued warrant.

3.) Voter Suppression? Oh go get a life - bring the charges on. Most voter fraud and other illegal voter activity is conducted by the Democrats and the far left - it's always been that way.

4.) Deregulation. Go ahead Springsteen - name one! Just in case you pick up the ever elitist popular Gramm bill - oops, dude - that was during the Clinton administration - Clinton still supports it, and damn near everyone in congess voted for it. And for the record, it was the liberal Democrats who fought tooth and nail against President Bush's efforts to pass regulation to help prevent this current economic crisis:

New Agency Proposed to Oversee Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae "The Bush administration today recommended the most significant regulatory overhaul in the housing finance industry since the savings and loan crisis a decade ago." NY Times Sept. 10, 2003.

5.) New Orleans. Neglect? Like the 8 years of the Clinton administration rolling in dough - before they left a crashing economy to Bush - did a lot to protect New Orleans? 

But over the five years of President Bush's administration, Louisiana has received far more money for Corps civil works projects than any other state, about $1.9 billion..  thank you Washington Post, September 8, 2005

6.) Unfettered free markets.  Now, just which administration of late made the big changes here.. thinking NAFTA, WTO expansion, the unregulated venture capitalism gone a bit wacko which led to the massive corporate and accounting fraud era of  the dot.com bubble economy which abruptly came to an end at the beginning of Clinton's last year.

7.) Death in the world. Hate to pop it on you Bruce baby, but millions more folks died in the world from genocide, civil war, starvation while Bill Clinton looked the other way, than during the progressive era of the 2000's under George Bush's "I'm not going to look the other way while tens of millions are dying and suffering and being abused," policy. 

More lives have been damaged as a result of listening to this gasbag's tone deaf, phony blue collar, garbage music than could be damaged by any President.

"Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it." -Ronald Reagan

If your doctor tells you that you have cancer, do you call Bruce for a second opinion? If your offensive in Iraq is failing, do you call Bruce for some military advice?

Why is there this presumption out there that if someone can sing, or is a good actor, that their opinions on anything else are meaningful? Actors and other performers in fact tend to be marginally educated and ignorant of most anything outside their field. Can Bruce tell us the difference between Shia and Sunni? Can he explain what a credit default swap is? I doubt it.

...that rich, pampered, liberal performers are 'experts' on politics and policy.  If bruce is so concerned about "lives ruined", why doesn't he take his massive bank accounts and do something about it.  I bet he even still charges for his concerts and CD's.  His opinion of Bush means as much as my opinion of his music....nothing.  Let's see, his degree is from where?  His experience is in what other than music?  He needs to confine his thoughts and opinions to his music...he is a hypocrite.

We've lived through a nightmare like that in the past eight years here"

These people cheapen the language -- you have no clue, Mr. Springsteen, what it's like to live in a nightmare, try North Korea or Zimbabwe, or Saddam's Iraq.

Such people are out of touch, they have no clue how the real work works or the true meaning of human suffering. George Bush liberated 50 million people -- people who would still be under tyranny if it weren't for him.  Shame on you, you rotten leftist nitwits and Hollywood fools.

I never liked Bruce.  His music never did a thing for me and his image of a street-tough, blue-collar American is a bunch of BS. 

I hope all these Bush-Haters get a terrorist-missile up their rear ends.....

It's a shame when our childhood heroes seemingly fall off their pedestals as we grow older.

I always knew Springsteen was a liberal, but I was always willing to let it be because he usually kept his mouth relatively shut -- except for the "Born In The U.S.A"./Ronald Reagan flap, and -- of course -- all of his "nobody wins unless everbody wins" song intros.

It is very difficult to respect Springsteen's politics. He's awful. But to say he's washed up as a performer is laughable. His was the second highest grossing tour of 2008, according to what I've read. To say he hasn't made any good music since the 80's is also an opinion I do not share. "The Rising" was one of the best CDs of the 2000's.

And as much as I despise Springsteen's liberal tilt, I do believe he is still the best live performance I've ever seen.

Like in so many of his songs, where the hero has some tragic fall from grace, the Bruce I loved as a kid growin' up is no longer a hero to me.

At least I'll always have Jimmy Stewart!
