Elvis: democrat or republican?

[Lyndon]

What do you think Elvis voted back in the 70's? Democrat or republican?

[john carpenter]

I'm not sure but, if i had to guess democrat!

I'm not confident either, but my guess is republican. He was a man of traditions and southern style. Or did he vote at all? Somebody knows?

[kathy parkinson]

I don't think he ever publicly said who he was for, i could be wrong

[New Jam]

As far as I'm aware, he was never a registered voter.

I thought we were asked to keep politics out of the threads?

[dj_ethan]

There are a lot of stars today joining politics. Are you campaigning or…?

Elvis: No sir I'm not. I'm not involved in that at all, I'm just an entertainer.

Agree KPM

Look, I don't know, he liked Kennedy, but he also liked Nixon, as well as Carter... I think he was just appreciative of any man in the job.

I agree and I've always appreciated the fact he never said about his politics preferences...he just love music and he just wanted to entertain people

Which is what I think stars today should do as well.

Yep, I read that.
I don't know much of Elvis politic's preferences or even USA politics...

[SunStudios54]

We're NOT discussing politics, just wondering what Elvis political direction was and we have a right to do so.... Otherwise we couldn't even mention Elvis' visit to president Nixon.

Lyndon asked a very good question here. I think Elvis was a contradicting case. Because of his background one would say he's a republican.... But both Kennedy and Carter were democrats. Nixon was republican. So my guess is that Elvis kinda walked the middle.....

[renapap05]

I'm not sure,but I voted republican.

Elvis, from all accounts, never strictly supported one particular party.

[Patricia Fonseca]

Only wait what not was communist or of preference leftist very red

In my comment I was just pointing out what we had been asked to do in the recent past.
Unfortunately directly speaking of politics or indirectly doing so (such as wondering what Elvis's political direction was) ends up becoming a heated debate about personal politics-it just does. The last politically slanted thread was closed and we were asked to not start any more. Also it was pointed out that there are thousands of political forums on the internet-and that would be the proper place to discuss politics in any form.
As far as Elvis he said it best-those are my own personal views and I'd rather keep them to myself.

My grandpa said Politics and Religion are things which can cause problems even among the best friends.
