A sort of PUMA theme song

I wanted to first say that even though I will not be voting for Obama... I've not been inclined to call myself PUMA for one particular reason.

I don't like movements.

And I regard the PUMA movement a movement. But a counter-movement. A counter-movement to one of the most angry, vile, despicable, lying movements I've ever seen in my life, which means the PUMA movement is the opposite of all those things, it is the opposite of the Obama movement .... but, the thing is, I still don't like movements.

I guess it's just my own scepticism. I'm not really looking for anyone to convince me. Chances are I'm just like you, and you distrust movements too, and perhaps PUMA is an anti-movement movement, I don't know.

I just don't like organized political thought.

Political thought should be disorganized. Peer review (dailykos) should be rejected. Corporate ownership should be rejected.

Everyone should be free to express whatever political views they have and not find themselves constrained by the goals of a movement.

Mostly I just drink and listen to music and came across this song. I think it fits whatever feeling a sensibility that exists within at least one half of the party,.... the last verse being loudest....

edgar08 :: A sort of PUMA theme song

I'm sorry for my lack of communication
but as I'm staring out this fifth floor window
it seems like the least amount of communication the better
oh, well what am I supposed to say
"there's a bloody effigy on my wall
and the complimentary carnation is falling apart"
and I ain't got time for the niceties
or rather I was never, never fond of the niceties

I will see you around
I will see you around
see you around
see you around

well I must admit I'm flattered by your consecration
It's a mind-numbing spine-chilling
but never-the-less heartwarming gesture
but as you make your advances so clumsily
I'll save us both the both the hassle and leave
and hang out all night
in the familiar fluorescent light of Dunkin' Donuts
'cause I ain't got time for the niceties
or rather I was never, never fond of the niceties

I will see you around
see you around
see you around
see you around

well, how are you with issues
lately you've been a half-assed activist
you've been seen sashaying around the picket line
wearing scarcely any sign
oh, but always vocal in love and strife
and the politics of your all important life
well, I'm sorry but your routine is coming off a bit ragged
and I ain't got time for the niceties
or rather I was never, never fond of the niceties

I will see you around
I'll see you around
see you around ...

I'll see you around ...

Very nice Edgar ....... but (0.00 / 0)

you really should give attribution to the writer of the song.

Other than that I think this does fairly well some it up.

yeah, yeah, edgar's not a puma... (0.00 / 0)

...he's just been following us around for the last year, that's all ;-)

Barack Obama's election proves that any male can grow up to be president, provided he's willing to use misogyny as a campaign strategy.

"Always aim high, work hard, and care deeply about what you believe in. When you stumble, keep faith. When you?re knocked down, get right back up. And NEVER listen to anyone who says you can't or shouldn't go on."
