Republican in San Francisco - The Richter Scales

A Richter Scales tribute to that rarest of breeds -- the die hard Republican in Nancy Pelosi's congressional district.

Lyrics:

If you're looking for a subject for your U.C. Berkeley theses
a cause to scrawl across your picket signs
You don't need homeless or the poor or Mother Earth just look at me please
I'm not just a minority I'm and endangered species

'cause I'm a Republican in San Francisco
I'm hardly a prolific sight
Trapped by the Golden Gate and I really hate the Haight
I'm even too conservative for Pacific Heights

'cause I'm a Republican in San Francisco
There lots of trends for me to buck
I don't know what "hipster" means; I don't own a pair of jeans
And I won't go out unless my shirt is tucked

All my neighbors wish I'd move away
when I ask them why they hate the USA
'cause I'm a Republican in San Francisco
taking refuge in the National Review
And when it's hard to make it through I just ask "what would Reagan do?"
I'm a Republican in San Francisco

'cause I'm a Republican in San Francisco
but girls don't seem to look my way
I can't imagine why; where else can they find a guy
who's educated, single, neat and isn't gay?
(not that there's anything wrong with that)

Mostly I'm conservative and kind of square
But when it comes to lovin' I'm more laissez fair
'cause I'm a Republican in San Francisco
can't get no love to trickle down

So come home with me tonight 'cause in your heart you know I'm right
You'll come to see my charms you bear the kids I'll bear the arms
But if I don't get a date I'll have to move to a red state
(and have you SEEN those places? You can't get a decent latte anywhere)
I'm a Republican in San Francisco (let me go)

@AZwatchdog That's the old PW. The owner of KawfeeTawk changed it without telling many people.

Really? I was told the password was “ColdDeadFingers.”

Love it! As a Republican (formerly) from San Francisco, I can sympathize...Krugman's wrong, tho, you *can* get a decent latte in flyover territory. You just have to know the password: GunsNButter.
