I think he was talking about you Harvey. You don't just oppose people, but you hate them.
You don't know squat about me, but if you want to pin Bush's defeat on me, you can start by listening to my song again. I'd love to think it was the deciding factor. :thumbsup: :cool: :thumbsup:
Who's Watching Over Who's Watching Over You?

Words and Music by Harvey Rubens
© Copyright 2006

Verse 1:

I see men looking over their shoulder,
Running hard just trying to stay alive,
And they say that it's gonna get colder before it gets better.

At the time of the crime, who believed us?
We all took a fall on the ride,
When the powers that be had deceived us to leave us the debtor.

Chorus:

And who's watching over who's watching over you?
Tell me who's telling you what to do what to do?

Verse 2:

All the forces of war were compelling,
And blacker than Colin, the Knight,
And the lies they were telling, they sell in the name of their savior.

They silence the voices arising,
From those who would show us the light.
With their guys with their spies in the skies watching you and your neighbor.

Chorus:

Verse 3:

I see men who are trying to squeeze us,
And taking whatever they can,
While they buy those who try to appease us with scraps from their table.

It gets harder each day to break even.
This wasn't a part of my plan.
Time is right to be fighting or leaving this tower of Babel.

Chorus:

Oh jesus, here we go again. :disgust:
Jesus had nothing to do with it, and if you don't like the song, you don't have to click the link.

If you don't want to face the truth in my lyrics, maybe you should check the results of the election. More Americans agreed with me than with you. :cool:

Song writers dont need to toot their own horn if their lyrics are worth repeating.
Awwwwwwww look at the jealousy coming out, how :lips: :laugh:

A sin you may NEVER rise to the level of being able to commit in the entire rest of your adult life, eh?

Or, if not painfully true to this point, perhaps YOU'D like to share! :p

Or you could just slink away and stfu. (As if.)

Blame him? Hell, I wish all politicians were independent, and only were members of parties based on common interests rather than being a part of a political machine...

Lieberman's victory is the proof that yesterday was not just a blow to the neocons but to the uber-left as well. He's absolutely right. The extremists on both sides who have degenerated politics into the "if you don't agree with me then you must be my enemy" mentality LOST yesterday.
The Dems didn't win yesterday because of the bloggers, they moved to the moderate middle and won in spite of them. On ATPN, Harvey, McOwen, conjur, rot, et al lost just as much as Bush did. For some reason, they just haven't figured it out yet.

You're both invited to post links your own songs. To make it fair, it has to be songs that you wrote, played and sang. If you really want to make it "fair and balanced," they should be songs supporting your idiot President, his idiot policies and his war of lies.

Be sure to include a poll, and we'll all have a grand time with the results. :music: :thumbsup: :cool:

You don't have to be a songwriter to know that your song stinks anymore than you have to be a president to know that Bush stinks.

So you think only musicians should criticize music? What qualifies you to criticize Bush? Maybe that'll shut you the hell up, while your tiny brain grinds away on that thought for a while.

Just a lot of interesting things to talk about because of the election.
And not all of them are who won or loss. :)

By mid December we will be begging for things to create OP's about.

To the extent what he says is true, I think the lion's share of the blame has to fall on Karl Rove and his late protege Lee Atwater, both of whom have injected a new level of shamelessness and vitriol into the campaign process. The Rush Limbaughs and Ann Coulters of the world haven't helped either. I think this is a real problem in American politics, and I hope this period of partisan rage will pass sooner rather than later.

On the other side of the spectrum the Al Frankens and Arianna Huffigntons of the world dont help either.

Honestly the internet is also probably partly to blame. People are realizing all you need to do is put out a half-truth or lie, and the legions of drones will repeat it so many times it becomes the truth to the avg voter.

I have to agree with you on this. The spin-masters have really done a good job with this over the last 6 years or so. I know that the temptation for the dem's right now is to gloat over all this but a backlash could be in the offing come 08 if they don't do something constructive with their new found power.
The deficit needs to be reigned in, Iraq needs to be addressed constructively, the "divided states of america" needs to be mended and we have foreign policy bridges that need to be rebuilt.
The real question in all of this is can we finally move towards a real bipartisanship government or will it just become 2+ years of veto's and filibuster's?

Lieberman is on the Sean Hannity show.

They were talking about the tone of politics and Lieberman made a great statement
"There are people out there who do not just oppose you, they hate you." (Rough transcript)

Looking at P&N we see a TON of this. Certainly a problem with P&N and with our country.

BTW: He said he would caucus with the Democrats, but would be totally independent.

That's pretty dumb on his part. He could get a higher position on a committee if he rejoined the dems.

Lieberman is right, although "Hannity and Colmes" is a rather ironic place to make that particular point. And I think politicians in general (but Karl Rove types in particular) are mostly to blame. It's a GREAT way to run a campaign. Hell, if you respect a person, even if you disagree with them, there is always the chance you're going to go over to their side. But if you are convinced that they are the devil, or will send you to Gitmo, or surrender to the terrorists, or whatever, there is no logical point they can make to persuade you. And that is exactly what Karl Rove figured out not too long ago...you don't have to have good positions if you have a good story that paints your side as good and the other side as pure evil. The Republicans tried to run that kind of campaign again (I think Frist suggesting the Dems want to surrender to the terrorists sums that up pretty nicely) and it didn't work too well...in fact, I'm convinced it actually hurt them. Hopefully both parties will take this as a sign and Karl Rove and his ilk on both sides can go back to selling used cars, or whatever they'd be doing if politics was more civilized.

Leave it to Vic to come in and spew crap like that. Go suck up some more corporate profits at the expense of the nation, Vic.


BTW, you have no idea what a real leftist is. And there ain't any up here, least of which being me or Harvey or ....


The only thing Lieberman's win showed is how much one can gain, politically, when whoring one's self out in place of lifelong principles.

Liberman is a democrat and will remain a democrat. That independant tag means nothing.

:cool:

The difference here is that we know our songs would sound just as horrible as yours does. But we wouldnt quote our own songs in our sigs and offer to play it at events, thats for sure. Your song reminds me of the outtakes from American Idol, only more painful.

I somewhat disagree with all takes here------Lieberman shaped the event---got far too cozy with GWB on the Iraq war---and became somewhat of a sore thumb in his own party.
And along comes Lamont---who played Lieberman being GWB's toad up for all it was worth---and won the democratic nomination in a State very unhappy with the Iraq war..

In the normal course of events, that primary loss would have been fatal---but Lieberman benefited from a fluke---the repubs had failed to field a strong nominee---which meant
Lieberman stood a chance running as an independent--which meant the real repub would kill Lieberman's if he polled much---and sure enough---the real repub only polled 10%.
Lieberman was not strong---the repub nominee was just incredibly weak.

So color Lieberman lucky---not good---and now he will have quite a bit of power when he reminds the dems---if you don't play it my way---I'll caucus with the repubs.--another stroke of luck---it would be empty if the dems had the senate 52-48.

But long term---this may be Liebermans last term-------and he has also painted himself into a corner----If Iraq blows up in Bush's face---Lieberman---as the face of the Iraq war
will be finished----Lieberman can't always be lucky---one day--like in musical chairs--the music will stop---and Lieberman will just be odd man out.

As it is---he is very unlikely to get many talk show invites---and will quietly be put out to pasture---as the more verile bulls in the herd steal all the thunder.---and Joe can sit and chew his cud---and say I showed them a thing or two---typical old man dreams of a has been---and a never will be again.

One of these days I'd like you to explain how I supposedly suck up corporate profits "at the expense of the nation" when I am small business and you're the one who works for a large corporation...
