McCain's Secret Weapon (JM)

McCain has unleashed his secret weapon and woe unto Barillary Obinton. Senator Orrin Hatch has crafted a song for the McCain campaign, and it's awesome:

By Senator Orrin G. Hatch & Philip Springer

Together forever
America is the country we all love
We believe our destiny
Comes from god above
Let's link our hands for all to see
Our country's majesty

Forever together
America is the land we're fighting for
There's a time in history
For a hero's destiny
Together forever more

Hey John
Say John
They're gonna hit you hard with ev'ry thing they've got

Hey John
Come on
They'll be calling you
Everything you're not!

But sure as heaven
We're gonna win
Start celebrating
Now let's begin

Together forever
America is the country we all love
Let's link our hands for all to see
Our country's majesty

Forever together
America is the land we're fighting for
There's a time in history
For a hero's destiny
Together for evermore

See awesome. Anyway, not only is the song a powerful tool in the fight against liberalism it has sparked some strong (and entertaining) debate amongst the conservative movement. For instance a McCain spokesman was quoted as saying,
"We'll see Barack Obama's Bruce Springsteen endorsement and raise them an Orrin Hatch." High praise indeed, but not all GOPers were quite as fond of the song. Jason Mattera, a representative of a conservative youth organization exclaimed, "Hatch's heart is in the right place, but he has the wrong decade." Oh man, Jason Mattera you did not just go there...

Either way, Jason is just wrong. This song is awesome and made easily more awesome, here's how: keep the lyrics, but sing them to the tune of Don't Dream It's Over by Crowded House. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. Let's all try this together, shall we?



See what I mean? Even if you don't, you did get to listen to Crowded House. In fact, I am going to listen again... on repeat... for the next couple of hours. So if you need me, I'll be in heaven.
