Should "I'm So Afraid" be Kerry's campaign song?
 
Think about it: The man is so afraid to take a position, any position. Gay unions, but no marriages. Attack Iraq, but not really. Etc.

I slip and I fall and I die

Not trying to start a political discussion. But what songs do you think might fit? Another one that might work: "You Do or You Don't."

You either run or you hide
Now you slip now you slide
You say you will, but you won’t
You either do or you don’t


Or "What Makes You Think You're the One." OK, that would be more appropriate as my response to his campaign:

What makes you think I'm the one
Who'll be there when you're callin'?
What makes you think I'm the one
Who will catch you when you're fallin'?


Any suggestions?

Of course, George could adopt "Trouble" as his theme song.

I think I'm in trouble/on the double

To Dick Cheney:

Come to me darling, hold me/Let your daddy keep you warm

To Dick Cheney: (finding songs for him is too much fun)

"Not that Funny"

It's not that funny is it
When you don't know what it is (hmmm, where are those wmd's?)
But you can't get enough of it
It's not that funny is it?
Don't blame me!
Please, please, please!

It's not that funny is it
No one to turn you on
All your hope is gone
It's not that funny is it?
Don't blame me!
Please, please, please!
You're here cause I say so

HA! YOU, apolitical? I think not. :laugh:

I'd guess this could be your personal song. "What's the World Coming To":

"EVERYONE'S gone to the moon . . . there's no truth . . . there's no light . . . there's only greed."

Am I close?

Haha well I dont think any FM song should be a campaign song, but I like "I'm So Afraid" heh.

Yuck. Sounds like Carne Vaca has swallowed what Bush has spoon-fed half of the nation.

I don't think Kerry has a thing to worry about. Even if he isn't elected, he has a lifelong career of respected public service to be proud of.

What does Bush have?

A failed presidency

Failed domestic and foreign policy

Cocaine and alcohol abuse

Two businesses that he drove into the ground

The list goes on....

Can you imagine waking up every morning and having to be Bush?

What a loser!

If you're going to give Kerry a campaign song, why not make it Little Lies? :D

Okay, it's nothing more than a Mac-related artist, but The King of Cynical Lyrics:


What about "Even a dog can shake hands" by Warren Zevon?

Why is it that every liberal and democrat thinks no independent or republican can think for themselves? We are all "brainwashed" and "spoonfed". Well I hate to tell you, but you on the other side also get fed a lot of propaganda too. Give me a break. I've never had one single liberal talk decent to me (and I'm not even a republican - I am sort of middle of the road, independent). I'm sick of the insults myself. If you want to make a difference, post sources from facts that back up your party and your opinions. That works better than just insulting someone and inferring they have no brain and don't know who to think for themselves.

There's an old saying: "If you aren't a democrat in your 20's, you have no heart. If you're not a republican in your 40's, you have no brain." If you don't just look at that quote at it's face value, but what it's really saying, you see that each party has some very strong points to it. And each part lacks some other essential key components. So we can't ever win, and can't ever have it all. Unfortunately.

Now I'm out of here before all those insults start flowing in which does nothing - does not prove any point, does not defend any view, and has no fact or real point behind it at all. Does nothing but start a fight - which, by the way, does not go over well coming from a group of people who supposedly are so pro-peace. If you can't be understanding and accepting of people right in your own life, and instead go out and create aggitation and fighting, there is no way peace on a *worldwide* scale is going to happen. It has to start with each individual and the way they live their life. And it take acceptance and respect. So just saying anyone here has been "spoonfed" is causing an insulting mood, which often leads to fighting. If you can't be understanding to someone here, how are we suppose to expect the whole country to be peaceful and understanding to another nation?

God, yes. I'll vote for anyone who has a chance to beat Bush, but I'm just not happy with Kerry as a candidate. I can't believe he's the best the Party has to offer. :shrug:
