I mean Loretta Lynn is a Republican ....great goo for her - I don't care, I love her music....but if she started molesting children...I'd totally have a problem with that...

I feel the same way. I love Reba McEntire and Sara Evans and other country music singers that are Republicans and it's easy for me to separate those things and make it all about the music. Child molestation is a different issue. I don't know how I would feel other than utterly disappointed if I knew that someone in FM was guilty of that. I know that I would be one of the last to believe the charges. If it came down to it that we had enough proof to know that it happened, then I imagine I wouldn't be able to listen to the music any longer. I would be thinking about what he or she has done too much to enjoy it. As Victoria already explained, there are some things one can easily overlook or learn to overlook, but that really isn't one of them, IMO.
