Heart Doesn't "Heart" McCain

By thePoliticalCarnival


These guys are just so freaking clueless. Do they have anyone that has actually ran a campaign before? Add Heart to the list of Chuck Berry, John Mellancamp and Van Hagar.

Ann and Nancy Wilson are pissed at the Republican Party and have fired off a cease and desist letter to the McCain/Palin campaign.

Specifically, the Heart women are upset that the GOP has used their classic "Barracuda" as a theme song for Sarah Palin. TMZ obtained a statement from Heart's rep, who says "The Republican campaign did not ask for permission to use the song, nor would they have been granted that permission."

The statement goes on: "We have asked the Republican campaign publicly not to use our music. We hope our wishes will be honored."

(snip)

UPDATE: Twenty minutes after we posted this story, the GOP ended the evening after McCain's speech with the song, "Barracuda."

Wow, if they played that

Wow, if they played that song without permission at the RNC, then that means it was heard by MILLIONS of people world wide. That's quite an infraction! They should sue and get a per-violation remittance - one per each household that watched the convention (Neilson could provide some metrics here)...

Wow, Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart?

Gee, the same losers who have tried unsuccessfully to get no less a loser than CHARLES MANSON out of jail several times...now now, let's not offend them!

Don;t tell me, they want Charley to be Obama's Secretary of Stupid...oh wait, he has already selected Al Gore for that job. Oh wait, sorry, Al Gore is going to be Secretary of Political Irrelevance...

What are they, like 120 years old by now....?

You'd think that song would be in the public domain by now like happy birthday or, yellow rose of texas.

Oh, he's much older than that song.....

Lot's of experience. Lots of wisdom gained. You know most cultures respect their elders. What happend to you guys?

By IlluminatiHottieSeptember 5, 2008 - 10:11am

I respect my elders but respect works both ways.

The new McSame hasn't given me any indication he respects the people he's purporting to represent.

I think the 'experience' argument is kinda weak - we currently have a dunce-in-chief who had 'extensive' executive experience and we can see where that's gotten us.

By bebeholmesSeptember 5, 2008 - 11:38am

You were making a comment

You were making a comment about gays, I was just pointing out that there's plenty of homosexuals in your party. Of course you try to pretend that they don't exist on your side of the aisle.

And you neglect the fact that the segment of the population where AIDS is increasing most rapidly is in HETEROSEXUAL men and woman.

Worldwide, more than 75

Worldwide, more than 75 percent of all adult HIV infections result from heterosexual intercourse.

-- Quinn, T. Global burden of the HIV pandemic. Lancet 1996;348:99-106.

Heterosexual transmission accounts for an increasing proportion of AIDS cases in the United States. From 1985 to 1995, the proportion of U.S. AIDS cases attributed to heterosexual transmission grew from 2.5 percent to 15.1 percent

-- Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention: Surveillance Branch, Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention, National Center for HIV Infection, STD, and TB Prevention. Unpublished data, March 1997.

Wow, so worldwide most AIDS infections come from heterosexual sex, and in the US the percent is increasing dramatically, just like I said.

Now what was that you were saying about "just what we lefties wish"? Sorry, but once again the FACTS prove you to be a liar. (note - without a citation it's just an "opinion". That's why I provided citations)

Experience yes, wisdom, sadly, no.

.

With his adulterous affairs and his senate scandals (Keat 5, Suncore, Vicki Iseman...), McCain is NOT a role model.

Whit his document comments towards other members congress with phrases such as "shithead" and "fucking asshole", he is NOT a role model.

With is graduation placement of 895 out of 899, he is NOT a role model.

John McCain was the ONLY deck officer on the Forrestal that was NOT decorated for valor. John McCain was airlifted OFF the Forrestal because the crew wanted to kill him. We can't absolutely prove he started the dreadful fire, but the other two things we know for sure. Of the more than 100 Forrestal crew-members still alive, NOT A SINGLE ONE was paraded out at the Republican convention. John McCain is NOT a role model.

John McCain said last night the being shot down was probably his fault. That was his fifth jet destroyed under his control. He is NOT a role model.

John McCain is basing his entire campaign on John McCain. A legend in his own mind. He is NOT a role model.

Perhaps you might want to take a serious look at your candidate and figure out exactly why you support him. Seriously.

By deanrddSeptember 5, 2008 - 10:51am

Did McChange not fight the Keating thing and preveil?

The same with the other incidences?
And just because he talks just like regular folks you want to denigrate him. I'm sure you've called people worse things in your life.
Do you have documentation supporting the Forrestal part of your post? Or is it just an attempt to smear McChange?
Apparently the Air Force had enough confidence in him to not ground him. So, you must feel your judgment is superior to his commanding officers.
And who should he base his campaign on?
And its you who should take a good look at your candidate and figure out exactly why YOU support him. Seriously.

By bebeholmesSeptember 5, 2008 - 12:21pm

LOL - didn't your whore mother teach you to never

ASS-ume?

Keep thinking that, one day you might believe it! Although, considering that your definition of a modern woman is one who is barefoot, pregnant and chained to the dishwasher, it doesn't surprise me that you'd say that.

Most women I know see Palin as the type of woman who would push women's rights back about 50 or so years. Her record is pretty clear that I'm right.

Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Photographs: M Spencer Green/AP and Robyn Beck/AFP/Getty Images

As the Republican convention gives way to the final intense stretch of campaigning, Barack Obama will get a boost from a potentially powerful weapon against Sarah Palin's appeal: Hillary Clinton.

Obama's erstwhile Democratic rival is scheduled to appear on his behalf in the swing state of Florida on Monday. While both Obama and Clinton aides emphasise that the programme was set before the Republican vice-presidential nominee was chosen, some analysts and Democratic loyalists believe the former first lady is the person best equipped to take Palin down a peg.
