Tea Party Tunes

While the people are without the means or ability to survive their health woes the opposition to healing and a quality life has launched a new hit aimed at destroying the “liberal hegemony” of America. These self proclaimed holder of the gauntlet of conservative ideals wish to change our country into a libertarian paradise. With their vanguards of Sarah Palin and Rush Limbaugh as their talking heads and prophets they have advanced into the musical spectrum.
The Tea Party movement is a United States conservative protest movement that emerged in early 2009 as a partial response to the federal government's stimulus package, officially known as the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
The movement originated in anti-tax protests and arose in response to the increase in the national debt as a result of the stimulus package, as well as the reaction to increases in home mortgage foreclosures despite TARP bailout money paid to the banks. It grew dramatically after revelations about the bonuses paid to AIG executives in March 2009 and has been most visible through the Tea Party protests of 2009. Protesters have also utilized the social networking outlets Twitter, My Space, Facebook as well as blogs in promoting Tax Day events.
The name "Tea Party" is a reference to the Boston Tea Party, whose principal aim was to protest taxation without representation. Tea Party protests have sought to evoke similar images, slogans, and themes. In the wake of the Supreme Court decision Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, on February 5, 2010, the National Tea Party Convention announced they are forming a 501(c)4 corporation and related political action committee (PAC) to support candidates for office in the 2010 elections.



Here are the lyrics:
It’s gonna be a big heart breaker,
Grandma needs a new pace maker,
And the doctor says, “I realize she’s ill,
But there’s talk of legislation, on all our medication,
and maybe all we can do is put her on a pain pill.”

Whoa, me! Hey, Congress!

You vote Obamacare,
We’re gonna vote you outta there!
We the People have awakened to your tricks.
You vote to let this pass,
You’ll be out on your ____!
‘Cause we the people have awakened…

And to put it in words you might understand, if you had the common sense that God gave a billy goat, you’d no doubt noticed that your constituents, the electorate – that’s us, voters – are onto your pork-barrel-special-interest-tax-and-spend-scam. Or, to put it more succinctly, “Heh, heh, heh, Pfffffffffffffffffffft!”

We’ve heard from Hannity, Beck, and Limbaugh,
What you’ve got in mind for Grandma,
And we found this O’Reilly fella on Fox.
We’re kinda like Joe the Plumber,
And when we crunch the numbers,
It all adds up to votin’ you out at the ballot box!

Heh heh heh heh…

You vote Obamacare,
We’re gonna vote you outta there!
We the People have awakened to your tricks.
You vote to let this pass,
You’ll be out on your ____!
‘Cause we the people have awakened…

And to put it mildly, we’re harboring feelings of extreme alienation, due to copious amounts of horse manure that have been shoveled out of the White House AND the Capitol Building, and we sense that we are being royally defecated upon. (Ha ha!) Yeah, we’re gettin’ the impression that you think we are not relevant to these proceedings, and dismissing our input into the situation.

Please tell Nancy Pelosi,
We’re gonna do the Hokey Pokey,
Put the “right” ones in,
Pull the “left” ones out.

You vote Obamacare,
We’re gonna vote you outta there!
We the People have awakened to your tricks.
You vote to let this pass,
You’ll be out on your ____!
Yeah, we the people have awakened…

And you might want to start looking for another line of work. How ’bout the medical profession? Ha ha. Yeah, they’re gonna need every one that can put up with the red tape and the pay cut. Hey, why don’t you kill every last job, tax every last penny, and infringe on every God-given right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness?! ‘Cause let me tell you, ain’t NOBODY happy with you!

We the People have awakened…

And it occurs to me that you might really like it down in Venezuela!
