Just beatin' the drum to draft my Governor, Jerry Brown into the '16 race...

...and to make Whell's head explode.;)

Dunno Bob, think a "boy scout" could be elected President in these times? He would fix the budget in a non partisan fashion though, but the gopperbaggers would never go for that.

Here's one just in case ;)

"California Uber Alles"

I am Governor Jerry Brown
My aura smiles
And never frowns
Soon I will be president...

Carter Power will soon go away
I will be Fuhrer one day
I will command all of you
Your kids will meditate in school
Your kids will meditate in school!

[Chorus:]
California Uber Alles
California Uber Alles
Uber Alles California
Uber Alles California

Zen fascists will control you
100% natural
You will jog for the master race
And always wear the happy face

Close your eyes, can't happen here
Big Bro' on white horse is near
The hippies won't come back you say
Mellow out or you will pay
Mellow out or you will pay!

[Chorus]

Now it is 1984
Knock-knock at your front door
It's the suede/denim secret police
They have come for your uncool niece

Come quietly to the camp
You'd look nice as a drawstring lamp
Don't you worry, it's only a shower
For your clothes here's a pretty flower.

DIE on organic poison gas
Serpent's egg's already hatched
You will croak, you little clown
When you mess with President Brown
When you mess with President Brown



:D

Dayum, Rex.:eek:;)

Good grief. Good satire exaggerates and makes fun of actual faults of the target. Since when was The Monk ever even a bit Nazi-ish?

Hey, you post it now, I can ask now. :)

The pronounciation of the German words is the crappiest I have ever heard. :rolleyes:

:D

Good song, Hilbilly.

As long as we're doing songs, might as well do this one....

While we're doing lyrics, how about these:

You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that it's evolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know that you can count me out? (in)

Don't you know it's gonna be
Alright?
Alright?
Alright?

You say you've got a real solution
Well, you know
We'd all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well, you know
We are doing what we can
But if you want money for people with minds that hate
All I can tell you is, brother, you'll have to wait

Don't you know it's gonna be
Alright?
Alright?
Alright?

You say you'll change the constitution
Well, you know
We all want to change your head
You tell me it's the institution
Well, you know
You'd better free your mind instead
But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao
You ain't gonna make it with anyone anyhow

Don't you know it's gonna be
Alright?
Alright?
Alright?
Alright?
Alright?
Alright?

LMAO! Who is it that keeps bellowing about revolution, these days, Was? The rest of us don't want a revolution we just want to reform an inefficient healthcare insurance system.

Geez.

Dave

Wasillaguy 10-09-2013 05:10 PM

Fundamentally change America?
Constitution is flawed?

You don't fix an inefficient healthcare system by giving control of it to an inefficient and corrupt and incompetent government.

The biggest problem with the ACA is that it leaves too much access to healthcare in the hands of an inefficient and corrupt insurance industry.

Sure....has nothing to do with anything other than having some fun. Unfortunately my folks left Cali before I was born. I'm far to young to have an opinion at the time of Gov Browns first run.

I do enjoy the Dead Kennedy's though. And I am getting a nice laugh out of what a song can do.

So, to sum it up, was just having some fun with bobs post that got even more fun :D

Fun indeed. Satire is serious business, damnit!

I would say after the mess Congress is going through, there might be a better chance for a Governor to get the presidential nod vs. a congressman or senator.

bobabode 10-10-2013 06:07 PM

I never thought they could get below a 10% approval rating. I was wrong, it's now at 5% and it's the Repugnant party that is getting the lion's share of the blame.

mpholland 10-10-2013 06:14 PM

Could be an interesting 2014 election.

Much as I would like to be wrong, there isn't much of a chance of my party gaining 30 seats in the House due to some fairly extreme gerrymandering but hey, a guy can dream.:)

mpholland 10-10-2013 07:38 PM

With the general public attention span being what it is, if this fiasco ends by next August it will probably be forgot by election time.

BlueStreak 10-10-2013 07:58 PM

It's obviously way too early to call, but I'm thinking the Dems may pick up a few seats at best. It's not really Reps per se, that I'd like to see go. It's the Tea Party blowhards that I'd love to see get the heave-ho. And, I think that sentiment may be growing. At least I hope it is.
