Dr. Ralph, I wonder if you feel that same way now. How much did they pay you for that lie, a good man, the most liberal man that was in the Senate. Love your music though and respect your view, but disagree with this endorsement.
Ralph is one of my very favorite bluegrall musicians. I have most of his and Carter's music. Personal autograph but, when he endorced obama big time I had to wonder. He was praising a man no one knew anything about. Not one student of obama's has ever came public or any old girlfriend. He just appeared. With obama voters still out there he might just get re-elected. He is supposed to have over $1,000,000,000.00 (That is billion) so he can buy his next race. USA/RIP.
So what do you think now of your Messiah in 2011? I guess it's difficult to think as one gets older ? You know..........to be able to see the agenda of trying to distroy the country and setting it up for Communism that your great man, and his camp is secretly working toward. They will not succeed. You need to keep to your music. I used to respect you.........now I do not. You have become a Bama-lacky.
Hey all you dumb fuckers who are putting ralph down. He is a very rich man. He don't give a shit what you all think. He don't need you all. And the people in southwest va are blessed to have ralph cause without him they don't have shit. Matter of fact America is blessed to have ralph!
Now, i don't live in the United States of America. So im not sure if i should make a comment on this but, i still respect Dr.Ralph Stanley's choise. Even though i think that Obama is just a phoney. But Ralph Stanley have the opportunetie to live in one of the greatest countrys in the world, and to have the right of voting. He did and you just have to respect that even though y'all don't agree with it. Neither do I
Ralph Stanley must be the dumbest motherf**** out there, or he is a real traitor - listen to this propoganda from 2 years ago. What a load of shit it sounds like now. Barack Obama, destroying America one day at a time.
if what ralph is saying about obama was true, that would be good. in reality almost everything ralph is saying is false. i wonder what ralph thinks of his endorsement now?
Ralph Stanley is the fucking man! This was his own choice. All you mother fuckers who are putting him down is the lowest of low. I do not like obama but I love ralph stanley. Do think ralph gives a shit what yall all think? he is an ICON, what the hell are all of you? RALPH YOU ARE THE GREATEST!!!!!
ghost, shut the fuck up you mother fucking vigina. its liberal cock suckers just like you thats got our country so fucked in the first place. idc who you are or what you think but if you accualy believe that barrak husain obama is gona do a beter job in the white house than JB or MC you are a fuckin dumbass. atleast george wasnt a half bread muslum niger that has no experiance.
ralph do you still think you endorsed the right man. i love your music, however i would think long as you been on this earth, you would have a little more smart than this. matter of fact, i would have to class you as a dumb ass. paid for by who??
ralph do you still think you endorsed the right man. i love your music, however i would think long as you been on this earth, you would have a little more smart than this. matter of fact, i would have to class you as a dumb ass.
Must top their end of the most. If not...then we'll all share and you can't find your subsistence in the time going towards the end. And the line from the bottom says: They have times before giving freedom for all.
Why why why? And yet ANOTHER musician takes the bait, and unnecessarily tarnishes themselves. Why does a MUSIC legend feel the need to make a public POLITICAL statement?! Always, (ALWAYS) ill-advised for someone at this level of music. When the requests come for endorsement, why not just politely say, "I'm sorry. I confine my remarks to my own professional field, and even then, I make very few. Thank you, but no thank you."
Mr Ralph was suckered just like we all were...shame on you for turning on Mr Stanley just because he was a lamb led to the slaughter just like we all were. shame on you all!!!!
Ralph..... hello fuzzie...... You dont know shit about living and working in SW Virginia or East Tennessee. They work for a living! and dont want something for they didnt work for. Obama is against the coal companies, you live in COAL COUNTRY!! Your indorsement showed your true colors and cost you a lot of fans. I never liked you from the first time I shared a stage with you and your bass player asked to borrow my bass (something for nothing). Your not as great as you think you are.
To each his own. But i think we the republicans and democrats should start looking into a different way this country should be ran. i am in iraq right now and i dont know why im here, and didnt we all agree for the most part that who ever was responsible for the 911 attacks would find no safe haven anywhere, but yet they jump into pakistan when we get close and we dont continue after them.
Here we are, months after the election, and I'm just now seeing this. I'm profoundly disappointed in Mr. Stanley and I'll lay odds that Mr. Stanley is feeling 'had' about now.
I've been a big fan of Ralph Stanley for more years than I can remember. But one thing disappointed me more than words can ever express. Mr. Stanley what were you thinking?
good god i live right next to him in toms creek southwest virginia. it is time for tee pee for the man that voted for a man that is dividing the people
@williamquantrill I'll let you know as soon as the vulger right actually let Obama do something positive for the country. The fact that they oppose him automatically on every single issue shows they don't care about the country or the people or anything except abusing everyone with their obtuse hatred. In any case, I am SO thankful prior regime is no more, the country and the world are better off to be sure.
Ralph needs to STFU and worry about playing music. Bluegrass is way too beautiful to ruin by infecting it with any politics. He should know better. Keep bluegrass pure!
hey raff, this obama boy of yours , he startin to stink real bad. now donyou feel like a old fool after some chicago fast talkin lawyer politician got you to pimp for his sorry ass...stick to your music old man,,let those devils in d.c. alone.they gonna turn us all into men of constant sorrow...
Where are those jobs, Ralph? I can't find a job, but it's good to know that Obama is so worried about the healthcare I can't afford. I just want to keep my roof over my head and my family fed without having to worry. I lost my job of ten years. That wasn't the change I was hoping for!
this guy like many others have not done their homework on Obama. How much Obama pay you to say that. Our first non natural citizen Kenyan president. In all reality this means that everthing he signs as a bill would be invalid. The proof is there but just being swep under the rug.
@monsterman27 No, Barrack Obama was born in Hawaii, and I know this might sound hard to believe but Hawaii is actually a part of the United States. But if you're that threatened by a president who you don't like, then by all means keep watching Fox News and spreading propoganda.
Ralph, How can "America" survive on welfare financed by China loans? The presidential candidate is a puppet of his supporters and can only parrot what his party dictates. Americans control their own fate by supporting American values, work ethic, and brotherly love. Let's "re-unite" as FREE Americans or learn to swallow and digest handouts divvied by the biased hands who want control.
Its not about race so stop using the race card. Its about how much a phoney Obama is. You would think after being elected he would want to make a name for himself, and honor people likeDR. Marten Luther King. But no its all about is own personal agenda. He makes decisions that no so called Christian will make.Also the proof is there that he isnt a natural born citizen. I hope it bites him in the ass someday.
"Family first" obama immediately after being "elected" prez earmarked more American taxpayer money to fund more baby killers (abortion mills) around the world - there are a lot of things more important than money and jobs you poor old fool (obama doesn't give a shit about jobs for Americans either) - well, you've gone on to your reward old man - -(Romans 1:29 - 32)

Ralph just saw the better choice...Obama is neither anti-christ nor political savior...just better and smarter than the alternatives. Don't PUT DOWN Ralph you fucking MORONS!
Im not sure hes the Anti-Christ.Technically anyone that is against christ is anti-christ. But i think its possible if he is not the anti-christ he might be paving the way for the real deal. You know. make things worse then some guy comes looking like a savior. Obamas church was a racist church and un-christian.Obama is a muslim,
I'm with you carolinablue453 Obuma is a real idiot and I cannot see the father of bluegrass endorsing him. I know W was not very effective but this guy we have now is a real idiot.
Thanks Dr. Stanley, despite what the cool-aid drinkers, idiots and other fools who buy the republican lies say, you've hit the nail on the head, Obama was and is the best choice for America. It took a Republican 8 years to bankrupt our nation and it will take a Decmocrat at least four to get us back on track. I really appreciate you doing this PSA.
dude....ralph stanley is a legend within the bluegrass and country music community...I respect and love his music. But I gotta say, this definitely just lowered my respect for him as a person.
none of you redneck, wining, pussies are worthy of holding ralph stanleys jimmy quit your pissing and moaning, the whole country is in the shitter and shotguns wining about mines. Mccain couldnt handle the situation any better than Obama Besides, the country was really about to be boned by bush
you know the families that have made you a living???? well i think you might have forgot we mine coal around here and your president's administration is killing the coal industry and all of our families,communties, and livelihood we have ever known......you are like Dolly and Ashley....TURNCOATS. You heard him say coal was his worst nightmare, you heard him say he would tax the coal plants out of buisness..Dr. backstabber.
There's nothing wrong with agreeing with the promises Obama has made. Look at when the vid was posted. This is when Obama wasn't president yet, and we weren't able to see exactly what Obama would do (which is nothing so far). If someone promises you freedom from war and a way out of economic struggle, do you say no? Only if you're an idiot.
Sorry you think it's "a (sic) ignorant comment." When people do not do any research before voting, this is what happens to a country, or do you think everythings just fine? People who support this imposter need to move to where they have this type of leader: Cuba, Venezuela, etc. You can play dominoes and ralph's CDs and work on your 1953 Ford, while your leader gets rich on your taxes. Ralph's getting boring anyway.
I don't want to be a racist,nor a narrow minded person. I'm a proud southerner.
I'm also a Democrat,,although my father was a strong Republcan,however when I was old enongh to think for myself, I did/although a .white caucasion...I think Obama is the bomb! Fuck you bastards who think otherwise! Church going hipocrits/self- righteous MF's. I have nothing to prove,do you? Most have a vice and sex is the peachers/pastors/and the cops vice. Don't tell me...I know and understand the truth.

Ralph lost all credibility backing that damn Kenyan Commie Boy Obama. He has always been over rated anyway. Mac Wiesman, Lester Flatt, Dan Taminski, Doc Watson, and hundreds of others are a lot better singers than commie lover Ralph. Plus he was never much of a picker so fuck the nigger lover. lol
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
About what I would expect from a lib cockcucker who reads shit like What is wrong with Kansas. Get out of the university and into the real world. You will get a real feel for how real people feel about your commie boy yard jockey POTUS. And I would gladly put my scholastic pedigree up against yours any time.
Scholastic pedigree doesn't mean a darned thing if you have bad manners and you, sire, have very bad manners. Namecalling is the argument of someone who is unable or unwilling (or both) to make a reasoned argument. Ugly.
And as for Ralph "sucking," he had a long and successful career as a musician. How are you doing? Got any Grammies? He does. National Medal of Arts. Things like that. Against that, we have your opinion that he "sucks." Well, you've convinced me.
Its well known that ralph is gay so it only makes sense he would vote for the homo champion Obama. It's kind of pathetic you freaked out like a little high school girl over such a sarcastic statement. Ralph sucked any way, I don't know why you like him you idiot.
Try not to make such a complete fool of yourself. He endorsed Obama. What's that to you? Obama won in a landslide. You're pissed. Most of the country disagrees with you. Get over it, or move somewhere where elections aren't held, if you can't take the fact that there are different ways to think about it, to solve problems, etc., instead of picking on an old fella who's simply endorsing a candidate. What are you, 12?
I think Mr Stanley is talking about the cover of the book. Now he's had a chance to read the whole thing, I bet he's not such a big fan !!! Mr Stanley comes from hard working roots, what Obama is doing will destroy the America we grew up in !!!
There ya go. Project your own ideas onto Ralph Stanley, without a shred of evidence that he does, or would, agree with you in any way. Now that's the Republican Way.
after hearing about this I threw all my Ralph Stanley Music away, could you imagine!!! Bill, Carter, Jimmy, and alot more are rolling in there graves!!
Die Amis sind leider wirklich zu einem erschreckend großen Teil zu blöd zu merken wer noch weiter als von 12 bis Mittag denken kann in ihrem versauten Land.
Von daher tut es immer wieder gut zu sehen, das ein paar Menschen dort ihren guten Ruf verdienen.
Einer von denen ist Ralph Stanley, alles gute an Ralph und all die anderen Sehenden.
Ralph's got one foot in the grave and the other in an Alzheimers bucket... Too bad Jimmy Martin is gone cause he'd pull that rabbit out of the log and stuff Ralph in there.. I saw Ralph at a festival once and he was more interested in the $1 for the photo then he was in signing it... the man has a 3rd grade education and would still be a pig farmer if it wasn't for Carter.
These comments are the reason why people in europe think that american's are stupid. Good job guy's!!! It's great that people like mr Stanley and Obama prove that there is some intelligence in the US to the rest of the world!
Well one was certainly an idiot, who put this country on a path to government dependency !!! One was destined to be a democrat from before birth, however knew
small government and low taxes was the best way to spur the economy. And the last was a democrat when they alined themselves closer to conservstism than the liberal policies they spew today !!! But thats just what I think !!!
Honorary Doctorate of Music from some obscure university.......I appreciate what he's done for bluegrass music, but he's not a Poli-Sci professor and a little out of his league on this one. Why can't the Sean Penns of the world just shut the hell up and act or whatever it is they do?
Dr. Stanley's a far better musician than a judge of politicians. I bet if he was asked now he'd talk differently about the most corrupt Chicago political machine manipulator's carefully crafted deceptions than he showed in this goffey video. Stanley willingly shows himself the fool here, embarrassing himself considerably. He should stick to what knows. Most of America has been fooled by the smooth-talking con man, particularly us California democrats. Con men are always "your friend".
Ralph is a "Has Been" and will do anything to spark a dead career!!! Why don't he sing "John Henry" to OBAMA the way he sang it in the past. He reminds me of "Senator Byrd". Both are covering their true feelings just to keep in the spot light, both are hypocrites...
I just wonder how Old Ralph and the retired union people feel now for their vote for Obama.
What a joke. This man is stealing this country with a smile and a wink!
Wake up people!!
By the way Old RALPH endorsed John Edwards. The very fine upstanding gentleman who was screwing another lady while his wife was going through Cancer treatments.
"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"
Yep, he'll lower income tax by about $5/month, but on March 31st. he added $10 worth of tax to each $30 carton of cigarettes... I guess "everyday folks" don't smoke, only Big Business smokes.
That's how Children's Health Care is being funded with tax dollars without raising INCOME tax! What's next?? Soft drinks? As a matter of fact, YES.
Andddddd Virginia DID vote for Obama...yes the capital state of the confederacy voted for a half-black man...a turning point in conventional American ideology. God bless you, Mr. Stanley and God bless a country where we are free to endorse whoever we please!
god fucking damit!!!!!!!!!!! its his dementia kiking in. O well, at leat we have hank Williams jr to trust, he would never sell out his heritage or his people
Ralph Stanley is from southwestern Virginia...you wouldn't think it considering how socially conservative the folks are there, but it consistently trends Democratic. It's coal country, so the UMWA is strong, and it's got a populist streak a mile wide. The One's "tax cut for working Americans" shtick really resonates with people down there, even though it's a sack of horsecrap.

Poor Ralph, must be coming down with Alzheimers,,,,,,,no one in their right mind would vote for B.O.............he STINKS! Thanks for selling out your true heritage Ralph..........time to throw out all my Ralph Stanley bluegrass tapes/cds/dvds........or send them to the White House,,,,,,,,,,do we still call it white?
i love this guy his music is amazing,, and he loves obama.. ha ha republican right wingers.. hope all that you fear in obama comes true to you and your family.. i love it
Hey all ye good people out there! Let us dwell for a moment on Matt. 7:1. If You like to put down Ralph Stanley for his opinion, maybe You should wait 'til You have 80 years of experience in your backpack as well.
I think you guys who cut down this man "Ralph Stanley" for his beliefs is wrong. Under the Bushite there was no hope... just big business run riot. Now that Mr. Obama has taken the throne...just means that we have to cross our fingers and hope for the best. Rather than corruption at its best...we still have hope.
Ralph, stop the country-cousin, man-of-the-people propoganda horseshit. Yr. Boy Obama took more money from Wall St. than anyone else. His main man Emmanuel was on the Board of Fannie and Freddie while they were paying their Chicago mafia pal Raines $90mil and they were under investigation. Now he's borrowing trillions to payoff his corrupt friends in State Gov'ts all across the country. Bush had a war on terrorists - Obama is making a war on the USA Thanks for yr. propoganda comrade
Dr. Ralph, I wonder if you feel that same way now. How much did they pay you for that lie, a good man, the most liberal man that was in the Senate. Love your music though and respect your view, but disagree with this endorsement.

I hope it bites him in the ass someday.

"Family first" obama immediately after being "elected" prez earmarked more American taxpayer money to fund more baby killers (abortion mills) around the world - there are a lot of things more important than money and jobs you poor old fool (obama doesn't give a shit about jobs for Americans either) - well, you've gone on to your reward old man - -(Romans 1:29 - 32)

Im not sure hes the Anti-Christ.Technically anyone that is against christ is anti-christ. But i think its possible if he is not the anti-christ he might be paving the way for the real deal. You know. make things worse then some guy comes looking like a savior. Obamas church was a racist church and un-christian.Obama is a muslim,

Thanks Dr. Stanley, despite what the cool-aid drinkers, idiots and other fools who buy the republican lies say, you've hit the nail on the head, Obama was and is the best choice for America. It took a Republican 8 years to bankrupt our nation and it will take a Decmocrat at least four to get us back on track. I really appreciate you doing this PSA.

There's nothing wrong with agreeing with the promises Obama has made. Look at when the vid was posted. This is when Obama wasn't president yet, and we weren't able to see exactly what Obama would do (which is nothing so far). If someone promises you freedom from war and a way out of economic struggle, do you say no? Only if you're an idiot.

Sorry you think it's "a (sic) ignorant comment." When people do not do any research before voting, this is what happens to a country, or do you think everythings just fine? People who support this imposter need to move to where they have this type of leader: Cuba, Venezuela, etc. You can play dominoes and ralph's CDs and work on your 1953 Ford, while your leader gets rich on your taxes. Ralph's getting boring anyway.

You appear to be the one freaking out, Einstein.
Try not to make such a complete fool of yourself. He endorsed Obama. What's that to you? Obama won in a landslide. You're pissed. Most of the country disagrees with you. Get over it, or move somewhere where elections aren't held, if you can't take the fact that there are different ways to think about it, to solve problems, etc., instead of picking on an old fella who's simply endorsing a candidate.

Dr. Stanley's a far better musician than a judge of politicians. I bet if he was asked now he'd talk differently about the most corrupt Chicago political machine manipulator's carefully crafted deceptions than he showed in this goffey video. Stanley willingly shows himself the fool here, embarrassing himself considerably. He should stick to what knows. Most of America has been fooled by the smooth-talking con man, particularly us California democrats. Con men are always "your friend".

Ralph is a "Has Been" and will do anything to spark a dead career!!! Why don't he sing "John Henry" to OBAMA the way he sang it in the past. He reminds me of "Senator Byrd". Both are covering their true feelings just to keep in the spot light, both are hypocrites...

Ralph Stanley is from southwestern Virginia...you wouldn't think it considering how socially conservative the folks are there, but it consistently trends Democratic. It's coal country, so the UMWA is strong, and it's got a populist streak a mile wide. The One's "tax cut for working Americans" shtick really resonates with people down there, even though it's a sack of horsecrap.
