'Get Outta Our Town (Caucus Lament)'

By Jason Walsmith/The Nadas and Kyle Munson/The Register
This tongue-in-cheek tune was written as an alternate take on the current climate of caucus frenzy in Iowa - a satirical anthem of sorts. The process: Munson was seeking a local musician to produce such an anthem. Walsmith of Des Moines rock band the Nadas was game and suggested a title and melody. The pair hashed out the lyrics. Singer-guitarist Walsmith performed the song in the middle of the Des Moines Register newsroom/info center.

I'd love Ralph Nader, but he is not going to get the vote. That is what happened previously folks rallied for Ralph and we got stuck with Bush. I'll take the Democrats over Bush & his absurd regime. Bush has been the worst president EVER!!!!

How many morons exist in this world? Any one who is dumb enough to vote for Obama is worse than a moron. Back the radicals, raise everybodies TAXES, commit genocide on people who are disabled and rertired!! His plans for change are nothing more than old worn out failures from days gone by. Poverty is only poverty to those who realize it. While rich countries consider other countries as living in poverty, they aren't. Those countries are happy as they are. Read Revelations 14:8.
