A Little Ditty for Election Season

Ever hear a ragtime diss track before? Well. . . here you go.

Lyrics

Well grab your buddies and take a stroll
Right down to the old straw poll
It's election season in Wonderland
Well the Mad Hatter and the March Hare
And their tea party buddies will all be there
It's election season in wonderland

The candidates are lined up on the stage
Where common sense is all the rage
And Constitution scholars take their stand
Oh vo vodeo
They don't like Commies in the Grand Old Party
Just like in the days of Joe McCarthy
It's election season in Wonderland
Now the Cheshire Cat will moderate
At the beginning of the great debate
It's election season in Wonderland
He'll sit and smile while they prattle away
And bash the Left and the poor and gay
It's election season in Wonderland!

America, they say, has fallen
'cause Obama's worse than ol' Joe Stalin
But they are ready to lend us all a hand
Oh vo vodeo
They'd shift the world right off it's axis
For deregulation and lower taxes
It's election season in Wonderland

Well the tea and rhetoric are piping hot
They're giving it everything they've got
It's election season in Wonderland
On the other side of the looking glass
Where they ain't afraid to talk out their ass
It's election season in Wonderland

Watch them scream and hoot and holler
And worship the Almighty Dollar
But don't jump on the wagon with their band
Cast a vote for jobs and schools
Not for those Tea Party fools
It's election season in Wonder-
Election season in Wonder-
Election season in Wonderland!

here's a little ditty. corporations create jobs.

Stay right my friends.

@zigora3 Ah yes, the Battle Hymn of the Koch Brothers. I know it well. They've been spouting it on every news channel for the last few months. Too bad repeating one theory over and over doesn't make it any more helpful, eh?

[zigora3]

@Tru3bad0ur Employers, employ, if they are doing well, simple as that.

[Tru3bad0ur]

@zigora3 And when virtually no one is doing well? And where in the song did I say they didn't?

[Tru3bad0ur]

@fuzzman1000 Thank you for the compliment. My point of view is this: if we're going to have a government at all, we get to decide what the government does and doesn't do. I went to public school, I walk on publicly-funded roads, and I appreciate that these are things that we've decided to do as a community - we all chip in, we all benefit. Is that an 'entitlement'? I would be a lot less critical of the tea party worldview if its critique of government power was backed up by history, not theory.

[fuzzman1000]

@Tru3bad0ur Since you're slamming the TEA party, which stands primarily for fiscal responsibility in government, I naturally wonder if you subscribe to the entitlement mentality. BTW it's a clever little tune played well.

[Innovaripper]

Your a fucking weirdo

[Tru3bad0ur]

@fuzzman1000 I'm curious, where in the song did I ask for a handout?

[fuzzman1000]

What's this? Another basement boy hoping for an Obama handout?

[rdevorsey]

Bravo!  Good job!
