    Don't Rain On My Bernade!

    By LisB on Sun, 10/18/2015 - 11:20pm |

    (Sung to the tune of “Don’t Rain on My Parade”, minus a verse or two)

    Don’t tell me
    who to vote for
    Sit and mutter
    Bernie’s one candidate
    and Hill’s another
    Don’t bring about an end
    to Bernie’s great campaign!

    Don’t try to change
    my mind
    While I discover
    Just how much
    Bernie Sanders has to offer
    Don’t bring about an end
    to Bernie’s great campaign!

    I’ll make my mind up
    and I’ll vote Dem
    But when the time’s up
    and not ’til then, folks
    Let me like my choice and
    Then folks
    Then I’ll make the right vote

    I simply wanna Bern so simply let me
    And after that then Hillary can get me
    Nobody, no nobody…
    Is gonna rain on my Bernade!!!!!!

    Political choices? Gotta talk!!

    Gotta talk?  The whole point of my "Bernade Tirade" is that it is too soon for y'all to talk to me about our choices.  I already know Hillary is going to be our choice, and I'm willing to vote for her.  But can we at least hear Bernie out, after only one goddamn debate???

    Thanks.

    Just some friendly ribbing, Lis, nothing more. As for listening to Bernie, I've no plans to stop now.

    Glad to hear it :)  Sorry I am so touchy about the Bern.  xo

    If the political field serves you up lemons, make lemonbernade?

    I have been there, done that, with being told whom to vote for.  Last time around, it didn't hurt me.

    Don't tell me, this early in the game, to Curb My Enthusiasm. 

    I'll be a good little cat and let you all herd me, when I'm good and damned ready.

    Until then, I want Bernie to be loud and clear.  OK??

    Belatedly, happy happy birthday.

    We dems have a right to vote for whom we like.

    To tell you the truth, I really like Lincoln Chaffee. I get a kick out of the guy.

    In the end, I will  vote for the dem nomination process.

    I do kind of like the repub from Ohio.

    But coalitions as they are, I will never vote for a repub prez.

    Thank you for the birthday wishes, my friend.  I got a kick out of Chaffee too, in a weird way.  I loved how he presented himself, repeatedly, as having had no scandals in any way, shape or form, LOL.  I got kinda confused about his first vote that he made, but, I don't think I'm alone there.  All in all, he seemed like someone I'd love to chat with, if nothing else 

    No worries, Dickon, I ain't voting for a repub prez either.  I promise!!

    To everything - Bern, Bern, Bern
    This campaign season - Bern, Bern, Bern
    It's a time for ev'ry Liberal and Progressive

    A time to be born, a time to die
    A time to plant, a time to reap
    A time to kill, a time to heal
    A time to laugh, a time to weep

    To everything - Bern, Bern, Bern
    This campaign season - Bern, Bern, Bern
    It's a time for ev'ry Liberal and Progressive.

    A time to build up, a time to break down
    A time to dance, a time to mourn
    A time to cast away stones
    A time to gather stones together

    To everything - Bern, Bern, Bern
    This campaign season - Bern, Bern, Bern
    It's a time for ev'ry Liberal and Progressive.

    A time of love, a time of hate
    A time of war, a time of peace
    A time you may embrace
    A time to refrain from embracing

    To everything - Bern, Bern, Bern
    This campaign season - Bern, Bern, Bern
    It's a time for ev'ry Liberal and Progressive.

    A time to campaign, a time to vote
    A time to make friends, a time to grow
    A time to propose, a time to debate
    A time to elect, I swear it's not too late!

    You and Mr. Smith have got it DOWN!  I didn't even think about Bernin' Down the House, LOL!  Bern, Baby Bern I had, yes :)  Bern to be Wild is great, and may I add:  Bern to Run.

    I can see the Boss doing that one - the highways jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive...tramps like us, baby we were Bern to ride. Happy b'day.

    by PeraclesPlease on Tue, 10/20/2015 - 8:20pm

    Thanks, PP :)

    As I just said to someone (Donal?  Dick?) on my Facebook page, I think it is GREAT that Bernie is running, right now, as a Dem.  I don't want to shut him - or his supporters - up yet.  Why?  Because he's making people think.  He's making socialism sound not-so-scary.  And WTF is wrong with that????

    He's the answer to Trump's anti-establishment angry voice.  And that is a voice that is wanted, loud and clear, by people of ALL political mindsets. 

    If the Democratic party only had Hillary, right now, and Bernie was already a thing of the past...

    ...well.  Who would YOUR angry Independent and undecided Republican friends go for?

    Srsly.

    Mr. Smith I love this.  You got me humming the tune.  Turn, Turn, oh I mean Bern, Bern, Bern,

    It seems like such an obvious parody, I was sure somebody must have already done it, but I didn't see one anywhere. soooo ...
