Mickey Leigh, president of Ramones productions and brother to the late Joey Ramone and Linda Ramone, wife of the late Johnny Ramone have been in a public dispute over the imminent election. Linda has been involved with Meghan McCain, daughter of Senator McCain. Meghan is a self-professed punk rocker and has been arguing that the only way to be punk rock is to be conservative. She endorses the Ramones and speaks on Fox News right here.

On the other hand, Mickey has responded to Linda's use of the surname "Ramone" during this, saying:

I just want it to be clear that Linda Cummings does not represent the political views of the Ramones. Surely, as for Joey Ramone, the only Ramones song he would sing at a Republican campaign event would be 'Glad To See You Go!'

I should add that when Johnny stated 'God Bless George Bush' at the 2002 Rock&Roll Hall of Fame awards, I realize now that he was on to something. Because if it were not for George Bush and his handling of our country the past 8 years, I doubt so many Americans, including so many highly regarded Republicans, would now be getting behind Barack Obama. So, yes, thank God for George Bush for paving the way to Obama.
