Sing-Along post as to why I do NOT think the midterms will be kind to the GOP
Edited on Mon Jan-04-10 02:56 AM by DFW
Salmon Chanted Evening, this one's for you:

To the tune of "There's No Business Like Show Business:"

There's No Business Like NO Business

There’s no business like NO business like no business I know
Blocking off Obama’s nominations, filibuster just around the bend
Freezing up some needed legislation, we'll either kill it, or just amend!

There’s no people like NO people, their truth standards are low
Even if you don’t like what Ann Coulter writes, or Gingrich puts on his web sites,
Alito will still rule against your civil rights, so let’s go on with the NO!

McConnell, John Boehner, O’Reilly and Beck
Are secretly unhappy men because
McConnell, John Boehner, O’Reilly and Beck:
There’s only twelve per cent that likes their cause
They’d never bid their right wing base good bye for any true conservative, and why?

There’s no business like NO business and I tell you it’s so
Trav’ling through the country is so thrilling, going to Town Halls and starting fights
Smiling while you brawl and lose a filling, never losing sleep at nights

There’s no people like NO people, their poll numbers are low
It is not a good idea if you talk back, ‘cause if you do, they will attack
Run if they come at you with a tire jack, ‘cause they go on with the NO.

There’s no business like NO business like no business I know
You get word before debate is finished, that your bill has been all watered down
All its impact has now been diminished, you’re broken-hearted, but you don’t frown

There’s no business like NO business, as Dick Cheney will show
Obama said he’d make our land a better place, old Dick said “that’s too in-your-face,
“So even if we never win another race, just go on with the NO!”

2. Pretty Serious Stuff
The right seems able to manipulate the media when they want to, and on any subject they want to. ie. Cheney ~ Torture. So where is the left on the issues? Why isn't the Left lambasting the right over the last 16 years of American destruction? Why are we setting in a lull?

Why not bring up how the right has hated and fought against health care for Americans, for 17 years! Why not be protesting the US Government dragging it's feet on prosecuting War Crimes? Why not raise the issue that the right wasted 8 years of Clinton presidency embroiling the nation over a blow job and false accusations and wasted millions along with the American citizens time, and 8 years of irresponsible war mongering the middle east and trillions more. These and many other issues (like disabled workers carpal tunnel) need to get fixed in the America voters minds.

Your song helps. :) Throw some tunes out there people can whistle to all day long. Make up a list of all negative laws passed by the right over the last 16 years, and the legislation designed for Americans that the right fought against. Get a logo to represent their sins against Americans.

We shouldn't be losing seats in Congress, we should be gaining them, along with getting rid of Dem traitors that have worked from within to hurt liberal policies.

3. Throw some tunes out there?
I've been doing just that for years now! Go to www.thefreedomtoast.com

or listen to these:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7dPISoH6Ok&feature=related

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlp-D_Y1UNo

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_Zg_Z6P0GE&feature=related

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rv9ziGJeBW8&feature=channel

Some of them are dated, as time has kept on marching, but as you can see, my friends
and I have indeed been "throwing some tunes out there" for a few years now.

8. "Those" are myself and two friends
One to do the musical arrangements and studio recording and one to do my animation. I do the lyrics and screenplays.

Glad you liked them!

17. We do try to please.
If it's not fun, it ain't us. Our Bush sound-alike is a big ham ad-libber, and our animator always
gets a kick out trying to keep up visually with his little interjections.

13. But seriously, folks, the midterms will not be kind to the GOP
Edited on Mon Jan-04-10 10:49 AM by rocktivity
because the GOP has not been kind to the voters. The American people know that the Repubs have been doing nothing but obsructing Obama at every turn and not even bothering to promise that they'll change things. More important, they also know who the real welfare queens are.

18. They also have a tendency to overreach, and never know when to quit
So when their demagoguery grows louder and more prevalent, they will be clueless as to why they're losing elections.

As usual.

20. Everyone is clueless as to why they lose elections
We at least tend to ask why. Republicans just assume their opponents have made a pact with the Devil.

26. Don't tempt me! LOL
I might really get going:

(Sung to the tune of "Blowing in the Wind")

How many talk shows can one woman do
Before McCain rages with fits?
Yes, and how many times can she shoot at a wolf
Before it’s been blasted to bits?
Yes, and how many months should a governor serve
Before she can just call it quits?

The answer, you know, is blowing in the snow
The answer is blowing in the snow.

How many books can a woman not write
Before it goes to her head?
Yes, and how many moose can she say she has shot
Before she got out of bed?
Yes, and how many speeches can one Sarah make
Before someone knows what she said?

The answer, you know, is blowing in the snow
The answer is blowing in the snow.

How many news clips must we yet endure
Before there is one she’s not on?
Yes, and how many times will it take till she knows
We’re not much concerned with her spawn?
Yes, and how many C N N shows will it take
Until she is finally gone?

The answer, you know, is blowing in the snow
The answer is blowing in the snow.
