The Other Joe Walsh Should Be Running For President

You may have heard that former Congressman Joe Walsh has announced an intention to challenge the orange hued POTUS in the Republican primaries. Long known in conservative circles for his fiery brand of anti-liberal trolling, Walsh now says “In Mr. Trump, I see the worst and ugliest iteration of views I expressed for the better part of a decade.”

Friends, I'm in. We can't take four more years of Donald Trump. And that's why I'm running for President.

It won't be easy, but bravery is never easy. But together, we can do it. Join me... join us: go to https://t.co/d40HA9h2Kz.

Let's show the world we're ready to be brave.

My first response? Too bad it's not the other Joe Walsh.  That Joe Walsh had an album come out in 1992, "Songs For A Dying Planet," that could easily be the soundtrack for a campaign. Especially the song "Vote For Me":

I'd like to announce my candidacy
I'd appreciate it if you vote for me
I wanna be Vice President
(Vote for me!)
If I was Vice President, know what I'd do?
Pretty much anything I wanted to!
(Vote for me! Vote for me!)

I'd have a first class seat on Air Force One
An awesome pad in Washington, D.C.
(If you vote for me)
I'd play golf all day with heads of state
If they brought beer, wouldn't that be great?
I can't wait!
(Vote for me! Vote for me!)

Well, there's a awful lot of issues important to me
Here's my campaign policy
Legislation! Education!
Occupation! Arbitration!
Modernization! Legalization!
Immigration! United Nations!
Integration! Restoration!
Imitation! Hospitalization!
Space Station! Accusation!
Every Nation Violation!
Compensation! Realization!
I'm freakin' out! Vote for me! Vote for me!

Well, it's the land of the brave, and home of the free

That's the funny thing about democracy
A vote for me is a vote for me!
(Vote!)
Vote for me!
(Vote!)

Hey, vote for me!
(Vote!)
(Vote! Vote! Vote!)
(Vote!)
