TheLizard 1 Report post Posted February 22, 2010 99% of them are career politicians. They went to law school, or had some other kind of higher education and pursued a life of public service as what they did for a living. Yes, and they suck. Al Franken is fun to watch because he's a real person who doesn't have the patience to put up with the bullshit of congress. And he's doing a good job. I feel like Mellencamp would be the same way.

Jenny 2 Report post Posted February 22, 2010 I like John's music, and I think it would be cool to have him in congress. He obviously cares about Indiana and would be a good advocate for them. Besides, the music business is pretty nasty, so if he can survive that, he can definitely survive Congress. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
luvouraina 0 Report post Posted March 14, 2010 I know he's a democrat, but why would he ask McCain to stop playing his songs? I find that a bit disturbing. I'm a democrat but campaigned alot for McCain for his pres race. I'm sorry he lost.... But.. it's possible that mellencamp could win, is he NOT doing any music now? hmmm... funny who's in our government now.. the CA govt was a big time movie star and muscle building winner... didn't we have a big wrestler out of MN? Interesting... I swear, the way things are going in our country, we'd be doing better having Paris Hilton running our country.. At least her family knows how to run a successful business!

chutzpah 0 Report post Posted March 15, 2010 probably independent...and that's who wants your votes...maybe a tea party vote? For people that don't live or vote here...from wherever...Basically,in the USA...2 parties...the Democrats and the Republicans...they both aren't very good...maybe John Mellencamp could run as an Independent? Like I've said before this guy seemed like a decent person...and honest... politics is not good for anybody Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RockyRaccoon 0 Report post Posted March 15, 2010 That'd be cool if he entered as an independent. There aren't enough in the Senate. Us Independents only have two Senators to my knowledge, Mr. Joe Liberman and Mr. Bernie Sanders. Rock on Independents Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
