Number Of Songs GOP Candidates Can Use Down To 4

[joeybee12]

WASHINGTON—Republican strategists confirmed Friday there are now only four songs in the entirety of recorded music that GOP candidates are legally permitted to use. "Currently, the only artists who have not issued court injunctions against Republicans for playing a song on the campaign trail are Kid Rock and Barry Manilow," said John Brabender, a senior strategist for Rick Santorum, adding that he "wouldn't be surprised" if Manilow's lawyer already has a cease-and-desist letter in the mail concerning use of "Ready To Take A Chance Again." "The only options left are in the public domain. So it's looking more and more likely that the Santorum campaign will make 'Turkey In The Straw' the official anthem of its White House run." According to sources, Mitt Romney took the stage during a Wisconsin campaign event Thursday with "Jimmy Crack Corn" blaring from gymnasium speakers.

2. Don't forget Ray Stevens -

Supreme right wing Obama-hating asshat. Shame, because I liked his older stuff.

4. See, Lee Greenwood, your brilliant plan to have one crappy hit 30 years ago is finally paying off!

It's all coming together.

5. 'Turkey in the Straw' and 'Jimmy Crack Corn'...

These two backwards and archaic songs are just perfect for a party that has such backward and antiquated economic and social ideas. It even helps that these are southern folksongs because the modern GOP is actually descended from the Antebellum 'Dixiecrats'.

I'm glad they all went Republican. I don't want opinions like those associated with MY party!

8. "There's a place in France, where the girlies wear no pants"

Gingrich might like being introduced on the stage to that one.

9. It is true that they don't care - Jimmy Cracked Corn should be their campaign song.

6. In the end they will be playing Dixie all the time anyway.

Ironically one of Abe's favorite songs.
