Moby- I Hate the Republicans

The world's most successful electronic music star Moby has slammed President Bush again, over his administration's attitude towards renewable energy sources.

"I feel this anger towards the Bush administration that I just have to share, It was just released that they spent $150,000 from the budget for the development of renewable energy sources to pay for the printing of their energy plan," he raged on his website dairy.

"I hate them. I've kept it inside long enough. Why do we have to endure employees of oil companies who masquerade as our leaders-"

His increasingly outspoken online attacks on President Bush make Moby one of America's most prominent dissenters since September 11, though since the beginning of his career, he's always campaigned for social justice. He's also maintained an overtly religious and principled stance at odds from many of his music business peers.

"Why not work towards making the world a kinder and more compassionate and less judgemental place- It seems like a good idea, right-," he wrote on his Good Friday message.

"I mean, who apart from a deranged sociopath (or republican fundraiser)could have a problem with a more compassionate and less judgemental and less violent world-"

Moby's new album 18 come out on 13 May on Mute.
