From: GUEST,Chief Chaos

How Could We Lose
As sung by John Kerry, John Edwards, and the Leftleaners
To the tune of: "Theme from All In The Family" (Those Were The Days)

Started in the Orange State
Katherine Harris threw her weight
Supreme Court Justice sealed our fate
How could we lose

9/11 We all cried
Dick Cheney he ran off to hide
Somehow the people let it slide
How could we lose

Then we attacked Afghanistan
Wiping out the Taliban
Catching Bin Laden was supposed to be the plan

George couldn't wait to attack
With shock and awe we hit Iraq
His reasons all were way off track
How could we lose

Big tax breaks for the rich
Economy that hit the bricks
Joblesness and deficits
How could we lose

No bid contracts for the war
Ashcroft getting to hard core
Still the Prez he got four more
How could we lose

That's pretty funny...where did you see or hear it?

Great song! Needs another verse about the black box corporate-owned-and-controlled voting machines that have been stealing elections since at least 2002.

Electronic Machine results arouse suspicion

John Kellerman, of Portland, OR, has a great song about the Diebold machines. I heard it at Singtime Frolics last March.

Always amused by that name "Die Bold" - sold by rich people who won't have to...
