High Hopes!
I posted this on a thread in GDP and thought I'd post it here too.

Anyone recall the song "High Hopes"? With some tweaks, JFK used it in his presidential campaign. I wish John Edwards would too!

Next time you're found, with your chin on the ground
There's a lot to be learned, so look around

Just what makes that little old ant
Think he'll move that rubber tree plant
Anyone knows an ant, can't
Move a rubber tree plant

But he's got high hopes, he's got high hopes
He's got high apple pie, in the sky hopes

So any time you're gettin' low
'stead of lettin' go
Just remember that ant
Oops, there goes another rubber tree plant

When troubles call, and your backs to the wall
There's a lot to be learned, that wall could fall

Once there was a silly old ram
Thought he'd punch a hole in a dam
No one could make that ram, scram
He kept buttin' that dam

'cause he had high hopes, he had high hopes
He had high apple pie, in the sky hopes

So any time your feelin' bad
'stead of feelin' sad
Just remember that ram
Oops, there goes a billion kilowatt dam

All problems - just a toy balloon
They'll be bursting soon
They're just bound to go pop
Oops, there goes another problem - kerplop!


Go, John Edwards! :patriot:

1. My contribution to the sing-a-long, maybe not as fun
In response to GD-P's Edwards is not God...lol...

Here's the key: Whenever Ted Neeley sings God = MSM and Die = End campaign. I think it fits :D

2. Ah, but we ARE waiting and watching with him!
I don't think there are any betrayers among us. :)
