TIME TO WAKE UP AMERICA!!

THIS HAS TO BE THE 2008 DEMOCRATIC FIGHT SONG:

EYE OF THE IIGER

Risin' up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance, now I'm back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive

So many times, it happens too fast
You change your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive

Chorus:
It's the eye of the tiger, it's the cream of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all in the eye of the tiger

Face to face, out in the heat
Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry
They stack the odds 'til we take to the street
For we kill with the skill to survive

chorus

Risin' up, straight to the top
Have the guts, got the glory
Went the distance, now I'm not gonna stop
Just a man and his will to survive

[Perry Logan]

1. Didn't he blow his chance to fight in 2004?

[BigBearJohn]

3. Nah. He got back up on his feet. Like any TRUE American, HE DOESN'T GIVE UP!!!

[smheart78]

9. No, that was all part of his 4 year campaign

He wasn't the best choice in 2004, but now, with a much more qualified field.....

[L84TEA]

2. Yup thats what we need!!

:-)

someone who gives a shit about the working POOR!!

:kick: :kick:

4. I'm actually glad you folks won't have to suffer

through watching JE work with repukes and corporatists. Because he would if elected. I see him as pandering- just like the others. But he won't be the nominee. He's not viable in the primaries- though he's certainly as electable as the others- had he not accepted public funding for the primaries.

5. Cali it this what sustains you: knocking John Edwards day and night, hour after hour?

How sad for you. I hope you can find something to fight FOR - as he has. It's very uplifting.

[cali]

7. do you eat and breath hyperbole, chimpy?

I don't knock JE day and night. Not. Even. Close. If you can't stand having your candidate criticized, perhaps you need to grow a thicker skin.

[zalinda]

6. We know, we know, you remind us every hour

on the hour, every day. You should really change your meme. We know that if there's an Edwards thread you and a few others will ALWAYS tell us what you think. If I was paranoid, I'd think you were stalking.

8. Perhaps you are paranoid, zalinda.

If you think I'm stalking, alert on my posts. But seeing as I DON'T post in the majority of Edward's threads, nor post a thread about him every day, you'll be on thin ice.

11. Deleted message

I don't want to go down that road.

10. Let's bring this back to where the Edwards would like it: POSITIVE support. Go Edwards!

You've got some fabulous, hardworking supporters. We are happy warriors for the people!

[BigBearJohn]

12. Go! Johnny Go! Go! Go!

[chimpymustgo]

13. Thanks for the positive energy, BigBearJohn!!!

Let's win this thing.

Go Edwards!!!!

[BigBearJohn]

15. Attitude is everything! I shudder at having 4 more years of THIS:

[Nikki Stone1]

14. Where IS Xena Warrior Princess when you need her?

;)

[maddiejoan]

16. I could accept Edwards as nominee

but NOT if his campaign song is ":Eye Of The Tiger"

I'm afraid that would be a deal breaker for me.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

17. The events in his life have made a different man of him.

Diversity can breed strength or break a man. In John's case, the years following the elections brought challenge, tragedy and resolve into his life. He's running with the blessing of his Best Person, a great lady who now fights a courageous battle to live, and live purposefully. She cheers him on and their shared heart knows This Matters and must be done, and done with honesty, and courage to fight back when maligned. To call the lies. To stand.

Flawed? He must be, this is a human being I speak of. Mistakes? He's in politics, isn't he? It's a job qualification.

I will speak out when I see things from his camp I disagree with, so I may learn if what I hear or see is rooted in truth. If it's coming from the MSM, that's the first thing any sane person would do, given it's horrible history of Repeating the Lie.

I wish all in this race for the Democratic nomination the best.

But as things stand now, my head thanks my heart for telling me this is John's time.

Go for it Senator.

[Prophet 451]

18. Can't we have something less hair band?

I'm thinking Metalica's "Seek And Destroy" or "Break Stuff" by Limp Bizkit. "Eye Of The Tiger" is just so eighties.

Seriously though, I think he'd be a bloody good choice. You've already been in a class war for decades and you're going to need a bare-knuckle kind of guy to fight back. You need Churchill, not Chamberlain. I'm not sure if Edwards has the steel for it but he's the only one of the top tier that seems like he might have it.

19. Love the message...

...but I hate that song. :P

How about "Rise" by Eddie Vedder?

Such is the way of the world
You can never know
Just where to put all your faith
And how will it grow

Gonna rise up
Burning back holes in dark memories
Gonna rise up
Turning mistakes into gold

Such is the passage of time
Too fast to fold
And suddenly swallowed by signs
Low and behold

Gonna rise up
Find my direction magnetically
Gonna rise up
Throw down my ace in the hole

[Diane R]

20. The Edwards people have a million threads on DU today.

[Pastiche423]

21. When has he ever fought for us?

Never. He fights only for himself.

[AzDar]

22. Kick!
