Enterprising GOP Troubadour Blends Poetry, Politics in ‘Republican Song’

gawker.com

With all the subtlety of a jackhammer, an enterprising right-wing artiste by the name of Mike Meehan has recorded an election-year anthem, “Please Don’t Vote for a Democrat,” and has launched a corresponding PR campaign via the Internet and billboard ads—like this one in noted liberal stronghold Orange County, Florida—in hopes of striking fear and indignation into the hearts of undecided voters.

TheRepublicanSong.com:

The Democrat secular progressive move,
political correctness is killing us too.
They want to take the money from the hard workin man,
and give it to the lazy folks that don’t give a damn.

(Chorus)

Democrats and Liberals, shame on you,
don’t punish us all just to please a few.
Your holdin people back while we’re pickin up the slack,
and that’s why we can’t vote for a Democrat.
Oh no, a no, no, no, no, no, no ...
Oh no, a no, no, no, no, no, nooo ...
Yeah, your holding people back, while we’re pickin up the tax.
Oh no, no please don’t vote for a Democrat.

Now we’re trying to win a war and wipe out the terrorists.
We’re not fightin for oil we got plenty if we drill it,
but the liberals and the media are spreading their lies.
Get the hell out of our way and let our soldiers fight.

Republicans are busted
In them you dummies trusted
Now piggy Rove is on the run
Time to expose Cheney to the sun

Pasty white faced vampires
Were trying to build an empire
But their house of cards is tumbling
And their puppet is left mumbling

The clock for them is ticking
Unless they start their tricking
A war with Iran is waiting
And martial law they are debating

But we the people have had enough
The past 8 years have been too rough
Lets stand up tall and be counted
For now the revolution should be mounted

HA! A farmer complaining about Americans who collect government welfare. How much do we pay in farm subsidies a year?

Obviously, this billboard blatantly exposes a lack of basic reasoning skills. When one is fed a stream of deceptions long enough all sense of reality fades and only the patent lies are the base of your reasoning remain. WHo was reading a pet goat book when the attacks occured ? Who did (does) Bin Laden work for ? Who re-elected Bush ?
TRY TO ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS, then make an informed choice….

Don’t vote for the Rich
Republicans have enough
It’s the middle class folks
who’s lives are getting rough

The Rich have all the power
in government, corporations and more
while the middle class are “whiners”
and are becoming the new poor

We need new energy
not the same, expensive stuff
but the oil companies say “no!”
‘cause their record profits aren’t enough

So don’t vote for the Rich
Vote Democrat in the fall,
‘cause the Rich don’t care
and the Republicans have it all!

Please remind me, who was in the White House? Who ignored the August National Intelligence Briefings? Who started a war that grew the ranks of terrorist forces while allowing the Taliban to reorganize?

This is an invitation to run a very similar campaign, replacing the word “Democrat” with “Republican”. Any takers?

Forget the weakness of the Republican candidate, McSAME!

Since the illegal immigration, gay marriage and abortion cards may not be enough this time around - they are playing the RACE and FEAR CARDs, instead! JUST WAIT! They will launch the new Osama Ben Forgotten video supporting Obama… Rove and the gang are casting the role of Ben Forgotten, now, if you would like to audition! Anything to stay in power, folks! Gulf of Tonkin, anyone?

Are you better off than you were before this group of corrupt scum took power? If you are, it is likely you are one of them!
