I Am a Democrat (remix)

"Wanna hear the most annoying sound in the world?" If you do, then check out this video.
Everybody seemed to enjoy the laugh that the College Dems gave us last time, so I am back with a little something of my own. After a little bit of teasing the Dems pulled their feeble attempt at advertising and tried to hide in shame. Unfortunately for them, the internet is a permanent playground.
I complied some classic movie scenes (mostly from my generation) and threw them in with the ad. Which ones do people think fit best? Which good ones did I forget?
Enjoy Ricochet, and take comfort in the fact that the strapping young lads in this video are champions of the future progressive movement.

Re: I Am a Democrat (remix)
I absolutely love this. How long did it take to put together? Finding all of these clips must have been time consuming!

Re: I Am a Democrat (remix)
The one clip from Billy Madison pretty much summed up my response to the entire video. Indeed, may God have mercy on their souls.
Re: I Am a Democrat (remix)
Thinking of the clips wasn't too bad, in fact, it was a really fun process! When I watched the original clip they just immediately came to mind. The hard part was having to find them (mostly ripped them off YouTube), edit them, and make the video using this very standard editing program on my computer. So it was a bummer I couldn't throw some better effects and transitions into this one, but I wanted to release it while it was still fresh. I think the simplicity of it helps add the comedic value a little bit though.
My partner Dave has the editing software we use on his computer and he is in Rhode Island while I am in DC. He is finishing up the final touches on our Powerline Debt Crisis video which I am really excited about!

This reminded me that I considered myself a Democrat in college. Fortunately, I outgrew it.

I'm a Democrat because I have a low brow, bad hair and it's the only way I can get a date.

Re: I Am a Democrat (remix)
I loved it. If you are looking for suggestions I would like to see some "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" in there such as when Spicolli says..."hay bud what's your problem" to Mr. Hand or when he says to the young black kid in the car when they run the red light..."it was yellow a minute ago, I am sure" or when he goes on to explain to Mr. Hand, while sitting in his bedroom, the history of the reason for the American Revolution or maybe it was the French Revolution. Another one could be when the character "Tye" played by Chevy Chase says to Danny his caddy..."this isn't Russia is it? or when he asks him if he ever does drugs and Danny says all the time or when the Judge says..."the world needs ditch diggers too"...well that's just a few.

Oh, oh, could you use one of the most conservative responses to the desire to fit-in in movie history? From The Incredibles:

The Billy Madison clip almost had me in tears. Good job!

Re: I Am a Democrat (remix)
I can't hear "I'm a Democrat" without finishing "and I'm OK..."
Oooohhh, I'm a Democrat and I'm OK.
I drink all night and I sleep all day.
Yesssssss, He's a Democrat and he's OK.
He drinks all night and he sleeps all day.
I'm filled with hate, I troll some blogs
I live in my mom's basement.
Each day I'll watch Jon Stewart
And won't pay any rent.
He's filled with hate, he trolls some blogs
He lives in his mom's basement.
Each day he'll watch Jon Stewart
And not pay any rent
I'm filled with hate, donuts and chips
And every night I would
Put on those clean white bedsheets
And a pointy Klansman's hood
He's filled with hate, donuts and chips
And every night he would
Put on those clean white bedsheets
And a pointy Klansman's hood???
I'm filled with hate, I burn the cross
And rally with the herd
I wish I'd been a Kleagle
Just like dear Robert Byrd
He's filled with hate, he burns the cross
And rallys with the herd??????

Re: I Am a Democrat (remix)
Great video! I think the Billy Madison quote should come at the end - it sums up everything we've just heard from the democrats.

Re: I Am a Democrat (remix)
Cute, in a way. I have to admit that I was a bit sympathetic to those poor, young, deluded lefties. Think for a moment: where else can you get such refreshingly honest naivete and stupidity?
This species of the looney left experiences an extended childhood and adolescence, but eventually, in adulthood, grows a hard shell of cynicism that allows them to blend into the background.

I thought the guy who was complaining about NAFTA was so hilarious given that it was Clinton who signed the treaty.

Re: I Am a Democrat (remix)
I liked it, but I think you could do more than preach to the choir. How's this for a script?
I am a Democrat because …
… I have never read a book on Economics.
… I have never held a full-time job or paid a mortgage.
… my parents and the government are paying my college bill.
… I have never filed a tax return for a business.
… I believe in the ideals of Abraham Lincoln, who freed the slaves.
… eventually we can just print money.
… poverty is preferable to inequality.
… my country has failed to live up to its ideals.
… I fear freedom and responsibility.
… I want poor people to regard me as a father figure.
… All that matters are good intentions.

Re: I Am a Democrat (remix)
I was thinking they could do one for Republicans. How about:
I am a Republican because...
-I have a job.
-My parents have jobs.
-I'm actually proud to be an American.
-I don't envy other people.
-I'm not ashamed of America.
-I'm happy.
...etc.

Re: I Am a Democrat (remix)
Great job, Joshua. Thanks for doing this.
Bill Gonch has a great idea there, I think. It really sums up the whole video very well and makes me laugh so hard.
Good luck with the Powerline video.

Re: I Am a Democrat (remix)
Good stuff, Joshua. My only critique would be to move the "may God have mercy on your soul" clip back one spot so that it follows the meandering story of that girl's grandfather. After listening to her three times, I still don't have a clue as to why she's a Democrat. Her grandad taught her that there's "no difference between a janitor and judge" (Really? No difference?) but she ends by bragging on the fact that he was... wait for it... a judge.
I guess that's her way of saying that she's a democrat because she suffers from cognitive dissonance.
