In an effort to distract Americans from thinking about the secret footage released yesterday, the Romney/Ryan today released their official theme song. In the official press release for the song, the campaign stated that it will serve to bring 53% of Americans together with a common goal and vision of the future. Without further ado, I give you the Romney/Ryan 2012 campaign theme song, I’m Dreaming, written and performed by Randy Newman….
To keep people singing (and not thinking) the campaign also release a foreign policy theme song. Mitt Romney is said to have written the lyrics himself. The man is truly a foreign policy genius! Let’s listen….
The campaign is offering a free download of I’m Dreaming for the duration of the Romney/Ryan presidential campaign. If I was you, I would download it tonight…..I hear more secret footage is coming soon!
Thanks to some covert video obtained by Mother Jones magazine we can now all hear what Mitt Romney tells his millionaire friends and what he really thinks about nearly half of the American electorate. Here, listen for yourself……
Well I’ve got news for you Mitt, I am one of the 47% of Obama supporter that you just gave the finger to and I pay taxes. In fact I pay taxes at a % that that is over twice the % that you pay and I don’t even come close to the $200,000 per year salary that you seem to think represents middle income in the United States. Just for the record Mitt… the average income in the United States is closer to $50,000 per year not $200,000. Look in the dictionary under “out of touch” it has a great picture of you.
Mitt….since you refuse to release more than one year of tax returns who knows what % tax you paid for every other year…..I am guessing something close to zero. Why else would you try so hard to hide those returns.
It gets better…let’s listen as Mitt tells his millionaires buddies about the best consultants that money can buy that he has working on his campaign.
I don’t know about you but that little clip scares the hell out of me. Mitt is using the same consultants used by Benjamin Netanyahu in the Israeli election. Mitt obviously is very close to Mr. Netanyahu since he refers to him as “Bibi” and by “close to” I mean “in the pocket of “. If you don’t believe me then do the research yourself. What you will find is that Mitt and Bibi are great friends having worked at the same Boston consulting firm in the 70s. All of a sudden the comments that Mr. Netanyahu made over the weekend make sense (go to any any internet news site and search if you missed his comments). He was campaigning for Mitt….after all you never know when Israel might need a shitload of cruise missiles and a couple of thousand young American lives to finish off a war that Israel starts. But hey….a relatively small price to pay for the presidency.
So, here is how Mother Jones wrapped up the story that they broke. They sum things up better than I ever could so I won’t even try to compete.
Here was Romney raw and unplugged—sort of unscripted. With this crowd of fellow millionaires, he apparently felt free to utter what he really believes and would never dare say out in the open. He displayed a high degree of disgust for nearly half of his fellow citizens, lumping all Obama voters into a mass of shiftless moochers who don’t contribute much, if anything, to society, and he indicated that he viewed the election as a battle between strivers (such as himself and the donors before him) and parasitic free-riders who lack character, fortitude, and initiative. Yet Romney explained to his patrons that he could not speak such harsh words about Obama in public, lest he insult those independent voters who sided with Obama in 2008 and whom he desperately needs in this election. These were sentiments not to be shared with the voters; it was inside information, available only to the select few who had paid for the privilege of experiencing the real Romney.
Now you know what I think….let me know your thoughts.
Here is Mitt Romney campaigning with right wing televangelist Pat Robertson. In this clip Mitt claims that President Obama plans to take God off of our coins. Oh my god, surely the end is near…..
Many of you outside of the US may not be familiar with Pat Robertson…..so let me introduce you to him, or better yet let’s let him introduce himself via this clip from his TV show today.
So, the Republican party continues to claim that they are not waging a war on women……….
Last night I witnessed something amazing when former President Bill Clinton gave a 50 minutes speech nominating President Obama for a second term as President. This wasn’t just any old run of the mill speech…. this speech was:
An amazing point by point refutation of each of the lies that the Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan, and the Republicans have been telling
A well constructed case for why President Obama deserves a second term
An amazing performance by a great, but admittedly flawed, American legend
Let’s listen….
So….I don’t know if President Obama will win a second term as president (even though I firmly believe that he deserves one).
This much I do know….Bill Clinton laid out a clear, irrefutable, and factual case, in non-technical terms, for all Americans to hear. If the American people were not listening, or were too stupid to understand, they are going to get exactly what they deserve and it won’t be pretty!
If there was ever any doubt, it is now official…….Republican’s Hate Women!
Here is the latest example from this weekend (the one that inspired this post)….followed by numerous supporting stories from the recent past. (updated 08/21….I think Republicans are trying to clean up their mess by getting videos removed from YouTube. I found another similar video and have updated the post.)
I could go on and on but I think my point is made.
I have said it before and I will say it again and again…these people are out to control every aspect of our lives all while claiming that they are for freedom (wink, wink). They think we are all stupid…..are you??
I know this is a music blog but from time to time I will choose to post about other topics, especially during this election year in the US . If you aren’t interested in these non-music posts, please ignore them….I promise this blog will remain focused on music.
First up….Ann Romney, wife of presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney, letting slip how she and Mitt view the people that they want to “rule”.
I’ve selected Old Fart to present a response from “We The People” (that would be “you people” to Queen Ann).
If we know how they feel about us and still vote for them……we will get exactly what we deserve!
Let’s let Bob Dylan have the last word….
“You don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows”
Killer was a Finish band fronted by an amazing female vocalist named Siiri Nordin. They never really made it here in the States but I alway thought that they had a great sound. In case you are not familiar with them, let me introduce you. Liar is from Killer’s second album, Sure You Know How To Drive This Thing. See what you think….
Did you like it? As alway, I am very interested in hearing your opinion….
I’m sad to report that the band broke up in 2005 without producing any further albums.
So…..while we are on the subject of lying, I would like to dedicate this post to Mitt Romney. If you don’t get the connection watch this video.
To quote Neil Young: “I never knew a man could tell so many lies, he had a different story for every set of eyes. How can he remember who he’s talking to? Cause I know it ain’t me, and I hope it isn’t you.”
