DUers need feedback & suggestions
Edited on Sat Dec-18-04 12:38 PM by rosebud57
Before Nov. 2 I wrote a poem/rap called GWB is a PAB. It was extremely popular with African Americans. I was handing out about 100 a day. Everyone who saw it wanted one and kept it. I never saw a single one wadded up and thrown on the ground. After Nov. 2 I needed new lyrics that talk about vote fraud. Below is my first draft. Suggestions, additions and revisions welcomed.

George Wimp Bush is a punk ass bitch
Crony capitalist only cares about the rich

Blew the surplus, now deficit's sky high
While soldiers in Iraq continue to die

Bush couldn't win, so Karl Rove said
Call Uncle Tom Blackwell he's in bed

With haters who don’t want blacks
Voting anyhow, so they bring in the hacks

Less machines so the lines are long
In democratic precincts, that’s just wrong

Computers count votes so no one can see
They claim Bush won, I say prove it to me

1. OK I got 2 more lines
George Wimp Bush is a punk ass bitch
Crony capitalist only cares about the rich

Blew the surplus, now deficit's sky high
While soldiers in Iraq continue to die

Bush couldn't win, so Karl Rove said
Call Uncle Tom Blackwell he's in bed

With haters who don’t want blacks
Voting anyhow, so they bring in the hacks

Less machines so the lines are long
In democratic precincts, that’s just wrong

Computers count votes so no one can see
They claim Bush won, I say prove it to me

Blackwell’s excuses just don’t fly
Mama didn’t raise a fool, I can spot a lie

7. I found that black barber shops are more than willing to hang things
like this on the wall. Punk ass bitch doesn't seem to be considered profanity in the African American community. It was white people that were like, "oh my, you can't say that, can you change it to say, mean old witch?"

We need to quit being polite wimps and fight dirty.

14. I thinks it's the other way around.
Bend over Georgie and let ROVEr take over. What a pussy to let that fat ugly freak control him.

8. I think PAB is more of an insult
Dick or prick is something to be proud of in some circles.

Punk ass bitch is somebody that plays dress up on the deck of an aircraft carrier.

Punk ass bitch is someone who says "bring it on", when his ass is not on the line.

6. OK slightly revised version 3.0
George Wimp Bush is a punk ass bitch
Crony capitalist only cares about the rich

Blew the surplus, now deficit's sky high
While soldiers in Iraq continue to die

Bush couldn't win, so Karl Rove said
Call Uncle Tom Blackwell he's in bed

With haters who don’t want blacks
Voting anyhow, he’ll bring in the hacks

Blackwell said, “let me lick your boots”
“I can prove I done forgot my roots”

“My loyalty to corporations and the GOP”
“I will be rewarded so f*** the OP”

Less machines so the lines are long
In democratic precincts, that’s just wrong

Computers count votes so no one can see
They claim Bush won, I say prove it to me

Blackwell’s excuses just don’t fly
Mama didn’t raise a fool, I can spot a lie

10. My favorite line:
Computers count votes so no one can see
They claim Bush won, I say prove it to me


Excellent!

Maybe include stuff about how the 'thugs were telling people to vote on the wrong day or wrong precincts?

Jeez, I suppose if you were to cover all the fraud that went on, your rap would be 20 pages long! Longer!

12. Maybe you can send this to a famous rapper
like fifty cents or EMINEN who can use it to really spread the word.
If this goes on the radio can you imagine how many people will learn about the stolen election? Or at least become curiuos enough to find out about it? That's more people to protest etc...

I've been hoping since the election that a singer or rapper would come up with a song about it but I think the closest to it was John Mellencamp with "walk tall" -and that was about how stupidly people voted. I guess he also was led to believe that b*** actually won.
