In Tennessee, Romney Recites 'Davy Crockett' Theme
Weekly Standard ^ | 030512

Posted on 03/05/2012 1:48:55 PM PST by Fred

Mitt Romney, campaigning in Tennessee today, recited lyrics to "The Ballad of Davy Crockett." TN

"Remember the song?" Romney said. "'Born on a mountaintop in Tennessee, greenest state in the land of the free, raised in the woods so he knew every tree, and he killed himself a bear when he was only three.'" Watch the video here.

Romney might have done better to recite the lyrics to "Rocky Top," one of Tennessee's nine official state songs and always a crowd favorite.

Singing “America the Beautiful” at a campaign rally for votes is pandering. Singing “America the Beautiful” on the street corner for nickels is panhandling.

Funny how I remember some liberals like Roger Ebert complaining that Sarah Palin was turning the election into “American Idol.” But it’s Obamney that are actually the empty suits who have to sing for votes.

What I want to see next is Mitt Romney heading to the inner city to rap for votes...

I'm Willard "Mitt" Romney and I'm here to say,
I want your votes in a major way!
The blacks, hispanics, old people and the jews,
If I sing and lie my butt off, I really can't lose!

He would have done better to recite Davy Crockett’s speech to the House concerning the inadvisability of the government’s getting into the welfare business.

I don't think he could say it without catching on fire. It would be like sunlight to a vampire.

I know. It was my fave song growing up! Can you imagine Milt trying to sing it like Fess Parker? What a phony.
I wonder if he was wearing his dry cleaned jeans pulled up to his armpits with the ever present starched business shirt.

“The Theme Song from Beverly Hillbillies is more like his style...”

How DARE YOU insult the greatest show ever produced? Uncle Jed, Jethro, Granny, Ellie Mae and the rest; are light years in character ahead of Mittens.
