Don't get mad.; 5/16/12, 4:21 PM
Chip S. said...: Couldn't get past the third bar, so maybe this is inapt, but it seems like this should be called "Springtime for Walker".; 5/16/12, 4:27 PM

I reinforce this advice. Once you hear it, you can not unhear it.; 5/16/12, 4:28 PM
Original Mike said...: It also crashed my computer. (Even the computer couldn't handle the song.); 5/16/12, 4:29 PM
Patrick said...: Oh God, I couldn't finish. I would advise the lefties to pass this one by. I'm not sure you could survive the badness.; 5/16/12, 4:30 PM
BarrySanders20 said...: Thanks for my new ring tone.

I'll have to "forget" my phone is on during really inopportune times when things are quiet in large groups of people.; 5/16/12, 4:34 PM

Mine too..BSOD. Ok when I went to youtube.

Yeah, a little lame. Unless the bar is those moron rotunda singers. Then it is brilliant.; 5/16/12, 4:34 PM

Obama is re-elected.
Walker is re-called.
Warren is the next Senator from MA.

O-V-E-R GOP. You are finished. You heard it here first.; 5/16/12, 5:13 PM

traditionalguy said...: If the Walker campaign can't find asingle black person to rent for the visuals, maybe they should photoshop in some. Or that NJ tanning bed lady maybe available.; 5/16/12, 5:29 PM

Known Unknown said...: That Scott Walker font is unfortunate.; 5/16/12, 5:58 PM
Chip Ahoy said...: The opening frame suggests you not watch. The thing they're doing with the signs that are all one sign repeated or two signs alternated, on a stick. To make it look like more signs more people and enthusiasm which is obviously and pathetically less. That frame of people all together, visually all at once, is like the Chinese dragons with people under them, coming through town raucously curling all over the place menacingly but impotently finally just showily. And I mean exactly like that, except totally different.

Pardon me. I have to go get my shoe. I threw it when Juan Williams started talking. He opened his mouth and fallacy flowed out in torrent and my shoe -- I'm going to need that. It's the axioms that caused the flinging.; 5/16/12, 6:00 PM

WALK-er!

Favorite bit: the biker clip. "I'm a bad ass!" Of course Scott WALK-er would never use the word ass.; 5/16/12, 6:20 PM
wildswan said...: The video part is so good it should be done over like that Hitler video.; 5/16/12, 6:53 PM

Exactly!; 5/16/12, 7:31 PM
FleetUSA said...: Nice,
Thanks; 5/16/12, 7:40 PM
Jon Burack said...: Brilliant. It will sucker all the lefties into snickering at how lame it is. They will show their friends. They'll think they get it. But it will get them.; 5/16/12, 7:47 PM

chickelit said...: This made me smile and feel like I'm on the right side of history!; 5/16/12, 8:56 PM
gadfly said...: You need to display the video without the ads at the end. My video finished with a centerpiece picture of Gov. Walker and the words, "I stole millions of dollars."; 5/16/12, 9:05 PM

Lem Vibe Bandit said...: If you compare it to the left and their songs.. yea, it might not be up to that standard.

However, its my impression nobody can sing a state budget out of red.. otherwise California's Governor Brown would be swimming in money..

See, the left has to sing good.. they dont offer much in the way of anything substancial.. goverment dependancy on the backs of the middle class.. Julia.; 5/16/12, 10:31 PM
Anonymous said...: This eerily reminds me of those video's of Hope and Change for Obama back in 08.

Something about these types of video's and songs doesn't sit right with me. Even though I like Walker and think he's been great for Wisconsin, still gives me a funny feeling, and not in a good way.; 5/16/12, 10:40 PM
David R. Graham said...: "Exactly!" Concur.; 5/16/12, 10:41 PM
jill815 said...: Wisconsin cheesy goodness.; 5/17/12, 3:20 AM
Toad Trend said...: Well this one certainly comes with extra 'cheese'.

As much as I admire the work and courage of the Governor, this production is the type of schmaltz that modern politics spawns.

The creator is well-meaning, but really?; 5/17/12, 6:03 AM
Rusty said...: Ace has an intersting map of Wisconsin political prefrences.
Doesn't look good for the anti-Walker folks.; 5/17/12, 6:11 AM
section9 said...: My God. I listened to the whole thing. Only Paultards do this.

It's true. What is heard, cannot be unheard.; 5/17/12, 6:57 AM
section9 said...: BTW, what's Rebecca Kleefisch, and old pair of hose?

At least Palin has spoken up for her!; 5/17/12, 6:58 AM
