Video: "The Romney Bunch" (0.00 / 0)

Not sure why the audio's so poor on this, I wish they'd redo it at a higher quality because other than that, it's funny and spot on.

BREAKING: Republicans Unveil Theme Song for Convention! (snark) (4.00 / 1)

As you listen to this, I suggest you substitute "terrorists," "Muslims," "and whatever other paranoid "threat" the right-wingnuts are obsessed with/terrified about (because remember, being right wing is all about fear and control) these days for the Soviet Union and other Cold War references. Although, actually, given that Romney referred to Russia as our #1 enemy, and given that the Teapublican platform refers to "Czechoslovakia," which hasn't existed for years, and since their entire platform is a throwback to the McCarthy Era...on second thought, this is the PERFECT anthem for the Republican Convention in Tampa next week. YES, it's the John Birch Society! the John Birch Society! :)
