Below The Beltway

I believe in the free speech that liberals used to believe in, the economic freedom that conservatives used to believe in, and the personal freedom that America used to believe in.

Memo To Republicans: You Aren’t Going To Attract Young Voters This Way

by @ 3:30 pm on July 22, 2009.

Apparently, the GOP is getting it’s new ideas from Lady GaGa:

WASHINGTON (CNN) – Politics may make for strange bedfellows — but even for this town, this may be the oddest couple to ever make beautiful music together: House Republicans…and pop diva Lady Gaga.

At Tuesday morning’s weekly GOP conference meeting, Republicans were shown a clip of a video parody of the Lady Gaga hit, “Just Dance” that replaces the popular song’s refrain with “Just Tax.”

The parody video was developed by Peter Cowman, a 23-year-old who just graduated from the University of Washington in Seattle, outside Rep Dave Reichert’s district. A spokeswoman for Reichert said the congressman wanted to show his colleagues the video to encourage them to get young people involved using new media, and noted his district is home to a cluster of technology companies.

“He wanted them to encourage the youth in their district, and share the message on a level that young people can relate to,” Reichert’s spokeswoman told CNN.

Will it work ? Well, watch the video and decide for yourself:

Yea, I know. It’s pretty lame. Outside of Biff and Buffy rocking out to this at the next YR gathering, I don’t see this going anywhere.
