Republican Senators channel George Strait
The amnesty bill comes back before the Senate next week once again, with the tedious regularity of an unloved season.* Allahpundit has the details on how they're going to ram this down our throats for our own damned good, and there's some inside info at RWN, but the JYB News Bureau has the inside scoop.
Having failed to convince the base that no fence, pathetic enforcement, and a don't-call-it-an-amnesty visa measure is worth their support, Republican Senators are trying something different this time--a musical appeal to make their case! JYB has obtained the lyrics of this new program, and it sounds like someone owes an apology to George Strait.
Well-guarded Border Down in ArizonaWe heard you're angry
About the border
We understand now what you're driving at
But this new bill's different
You're gonna love it
Cause we respect you, and if you'll buy that...I've got some ocean front property in A-ri-zo-na
From my front porch, you can see the sea
I've got some ocean front property in A-ri-zo-na
If you'll buy that I'll throw the Golden Gate in free.Enforce the border?
Oh, absolutely!
We'll lock it down, and that's a fact.
Four point four billion
Says "this time we mean it",
So you should trust us, and if you'll buy that:We've got a well-guarded border down in A-ri-zo-na
It's not an outrage to our sov-reign-ty.
We've got a well-guarded border down in A-ri-zo-na
And the Senate GOP is not a tra-vest-y.We'll have a...well-guarded border down in A-ri-zo-na
Drugs, thugs, and terrorists will heed our decree
The bill smells like roses, there's no bovine a-rom-a
And only g******ed racists call this "am-nes-ty".Yes, you're a g******ed racist if you dis-a-gree.
In case anyone has a nice baritone voice and wants to help Lindsey Graham and Harry Reid get this message out, let me mention that the Karaoke version of this song is available through iTunes, and a decent recording put up on YouTube would probably get a lot of linkage in the blogosphere. And talk radio. Maybe even Fox News and Lou Dobbs. Just hurry.
Also, here's some other people you can talk to.
*Where?
