I’ve been working on a sea shanty on just this subject. I didn’t make it to the DC tea party where it might have been useful. If someone wishes to use this to rally people to throw the bums out, feel free. It uses the cadence of Blow the Man Down.

Perhaps all of them don’t need to go but each vote needs to be a conscious decision and a a little fear of the American voter will do DC some good.

Throw the Bums Out

Chorus:
Throw, throw,
throw the bums out

They take all our taxes
to give to their friends

(chorus)

America’s the greatest
But they act like we’ve sinned

(chorus)

The election is coming
what will we do then

(chorus)

The legacy media
has sold them their pens

(chorus)

They called it recovery
but 8 months on we ask when

(chorus)

They snuggle with our enemies
and blow off our friends

(chorus)

The election is coming
what will we do then

(chorus)

They want to remake healthcare
into a socialist blend

(chorus)

Cash for Clunkers
crashed in the end

(chorus)

9 trillion dollars
is a debt for all men

(chorus)

They side with dictators
Against citizens

(chorus)

The election is coming
what will we do then

(chorus)

The free market economy
is the enemy of their kin

(chorus)

The promote triage healthcare
but only for useful citizens

(chorus)

The election is coming
what will we do then

(chorus)

Tax revolt. Stop paying. They can’t put 60 million in jail and I don’t think they would start killing us, although their health care bill will try, on the off chance that we might fight back.

Funny, I had exactly the same thought, though sadly not the ambition to implement it, as I was driving earlier this week and listening to coverage of the bailout bill’s passing. At this point, I would surely elect the Devil himself if he were to run against my local congresswoman, confident that even he could perhaps get something right (and at least would make his plans and motivations clear).

My next thought was to contemplate running for office, on the grounds that I could surely make a better contribution to our government that any of the blinkered imbeciles I see in the House, but then I thought about the miserable prostitution that constitutes the grooming of a candidate, and realized that there is nothing one can do. Those who happily seek public office are indeed usually those least suited to hold it. Sigh.

OMG – I’ve been reading the US Constitution, the Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence trying to find a certain phrase that I vaguely remembered. F

From the Declaration of Independence….

“That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”
I literally am afraid of what is going to happen to my country and I can so much more viscerally understand the thinking that went into writing the Second Amendment.
God help us all.

Well, I wouldn't throw them all out. I appreciate Obama's approach to use a scalpel rather than a hatchet. The one's we throw out, however, should be thanked for their service with a nominal parting gift - Obama pajamas (Ojamas).
