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

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.....

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

...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
