Twisted Sister Pumps Up Arnold
"We're Not Gonna Take It," the head-banging Twisted Sister anthem, denounced nearly 20 years ago as a kiddie-corrupter by a Gore-led group of Washington, D.C., powermoms, has been reborn as the "unofficial theme song" of Schwarzenegger's California gubernatorial campaign.

1. You know...
John Segal, nee "JJ French", last I looked was more liberal than me, and that is pretty fscking liberal. I used to work for TS, and John and I had some pretty extensive political discussions, so there is no ambiguity, on my part, on how he leaned THEN.

I wonder where he comes down now? I would be quite surprised if he has gone over to "The Dark Side".

2. Perfect! They've just cemented their support
from the over-grown adolescents stuck in the 80's crowd.

Edited on Mon Sep-08-03 08:20 AM by tjdee
Just you try and make us
We're not gonna take it
Come on!

No, we ain't gonna take it
You're all worthless and weak
We're not gonna take it anymore

Now drop and give me twenty
We're not gonna take it
Oh crinch pin

No, we ain't gonna take it
Oh you and your uniform
We're not gonna take it anymore

Oh REALLY? How LAME can he be? sigh...His whole campaign is a joke.

4. It's reminiscent of Reagan embracing "Born in the USA"...
... as a symbol of pride in America, when anybody who actually listens to the lyrics knows that it's more of a condemnation of things that are wrong with America than a flag-waving celebration!
