Politician

By jack bruce and pete brown

Hey now baby, get into my big black car.
Hey now baby, get into my big black car.
I want to just show you what my politics are.

Im a political man and I practice what I preach.
Im a political man and I practice what I preach.
So dont deny me baby, not while youre in my reach.

I support the left, though Im leaning, leaning to the right.
I support the left, though Im leaning to the right.
But Im just not there when its coming to a fight.

Hey now baby, get into my big black car.

Thanks...

During the big primary season last year at DU, I told anyone who would listen that I wasn't going to vote for either Dem candidate - and of course I was castigated. In the anti-Hillery threads I would attack Obama as just as bad. In the anti-Obama threads I would attack Hillery as just as bad. I was pretty much cursed as a Naderite (I did actually vote for him!). But I had no idea that Obama would be this big of a liar. I saw him as a corporate shill (still do), but not this big of a whore. I hate being this surprised over something that I actually saw coming - if that makes any sense. And these Democrats can go find some rope as far as I am concerned - sow it, reap it, ya' bastards!

I am still surprised at the brazenness of it all. Not even a reach around....
