Country music is turning on Bush. The Dixie Chicks hit the #1 spot on the charts this week with their new CD and here is the new song by Merle Haggard. I know Haggard is country and not folk, but this song shows a change in thinking among Red Staters. There is a video of the song here.
America FirstThe November elections could really see a big gain for the Democrats if the feeling expressed in this song are felt across the South. John Kyl has a strong Democratic opponent in Jim Pederson in Arizona, Jim Talent in Missouri has been neck and neck in the polls with his opponent Clarie McCaskill, and Harold Ford Jr. could win Bill Frist's seat in Tennessee. Add those to possible pick ups in Ohio, Pennslyvania, Montana, and Rhode Island and the Democrats could pick up anywhere from 4-7 seats in the Senate. I should also mention that Joe Lieberman, Bush's favorite "Democrat", could be upset by Ned Lamont.
Why don't we liberate these United States
We're the ones who need it the worst
Let the rest of the world help us for a change
And let's rebuild America first
Our highways and bridges are falling apart
Who's blessed and who has been cursed
There's things to be done all over the world
But let's rebuild America first
---- Instrumental Interlude ----
Who's on the hill and who's watching the valley
Who's in charge of it all
God bless the Army and God bless our liberty
Dadgum the rest of it all
Yeah, men in position but backing away
Freedom is stuck in reverse
Let's get out of Iraq and get back on the track
And let's rebuild America first
---- Instrumental Interlude ----
Why don't we liberate these United States
We're the ones who need it the most
You think I'm blowing smoke
Boys it ain't no joke
I make twenty trips a year from coast to coast
