One of my very close friends also supports Obama. Should I dismiss almost 20 years of friendship because our political views differ?

Jimmy's songs will not ever sound the same to you?
Come on!!!! Please now!!!!

Vote your choice but please think before you post.

This is the most confrontation you'll get from me. Au revoir.

Well said.

My best friend, Lynette, and I are on opposite sides politically. But she is still Aunt Lynette to my kids and I continue to cherish our friendship.

And my entertainment choices will continue to be based on just that...entertainment.

Eh...what am I saying? Go ahead and desert Jimmy for having an opinion. After all, as Larry says, it just means more tickets for me!

I'm no Obama supporter, either, but JB has a right to his opinions, and giving up great music just because the artist doesn't agree with you politically is, in my opinion, silly in the extreme.

In 2000, I was in the six figure income bracket. Now, i'm not even close. I am a Democrat, I voted 1 time for Reagan. The 1st time. I made great $$$ then. I paid alot for taxes, but, I also kept alot. When I was making great $$ I still was a Democrat. What made me mad was the "Contract with America" What a bunch of c..p!

Read below my space,," Cheney" What a scum bag. ( that's what I think)

That's pretty cool. Good ol' Jimmy!

Remember, Ronald Reagan and Tip O'Neill, though they could hardly have been further apart politically, were pals in the 80s when Reagan was President and O'Neill was Speaker of the House.

On the artistic side, Waylon was a conservative and Willie a liberal, but they still made great music together.

Don't let politics damage your personal or artistic relationships.

ALL are welcome on BN.

Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

Actually... I hope the door hit him REALLY hard on the way out. What a tool..... Jimmy doesn't need fans like that. Get over his opinion. WTF with all these people getting p***. It's only the people that aren't supporting Barack. You can't have it both ways. He would be quite happy and wouldhave never posted if Jimmy would have endorsed McCain. I would have been surprised - but I would NEVER say I was no longer a fan..... I would just have to accept it and go "oh well"....

you were not a fan to begin with if that is how quick you can turn IMHO!!!

If you are going to rag on Buffett -then you will have to stop seeing the movies and stop watching the tv shows and listening to other music of ALL THE OTHER CELEBRITIES endorsing Obama. While were at it - stop listening to Hank Williams Jr - who is at every Palin rally. Big and Rich... Don't be selective now..... what a hypocrit. yeah - I hope that door left a huge welt on your a uh... butt on the way out

I am done to.. as well as my sister, brother in law, father in law, etc. We are a family of right minded individuals who have loved listening to and seeing Buffett and while I believe everyone has a right to their opinion, celebrities publicly supporting candidates is very offensive to me, like their opinion means more than a normal person. Hearing what people had to go thru to get tickets makes it worse. I have always known Jimmy was a democrat. I have known about him playing for Pelosi and Clinton but he did not try to sway voters before the election until now. I have been to more than 20 shows over the past 15 years. I will probably not be seeing another. This upsets my liberal wife who I converted into a parrot head.

I cannot for the life of me understand how anyone suppports this morally corrupt socialist Obama. Considering Jimmy's huge business you would think he would have rethought his economic philosophies at least.

Farewell Parrot heads, it was fun partying with you.

Of course he did.....

And why should celebrities not be allowed to support their candidates? That's kind of like saying, "You're wealthy enough to have a computer and an online account. You shouldn't be using that to support a candidate when poor people without a computer don't have that opportunity." One is as ridiculous as the other.....
