Rmoney Can't Even Hit The Panic Switch Now...

It happens every election...

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/08/15/silversun-pickups-mitt-romney-panic-switch_n_1785422.html?ncid=edlinkusaolp00000009

The Silversun Pickups have asked Mitt Romney's campaign to stop using their song "Panic Switch" at events. The band has issued a cease-and-desist order and released a statement Wednesday, roundly denouncing Romney and his campaign.

"We don't like people going behind our backs, using our music without asking, and we don't like the Romney campaign," frontman Brian Aubert wrote. "We're nice, approachable people. We won't bite. Unless you're Mitt Romney!"

The band also said Romney's use of the single was ironic because "he is inadvertently playing a song that describes his whole campaign."

Isn't there a Ted Nugent song he can use??

In their minds. It isn't work because it's fun and therefore should be free. At least that's what's been said by republicans I know. Sounds like baloney to me.

At least, when the Heart song Barracuda was chosen for Sarah Palin, it was because that was to her nickname. Too bad the song was about being a woman being accused of a having lesbian relationship with her sister!
