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

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.
