Does the left have a monopoly on funny satire? Does Final Cut Pro only work on computers owned by progressives? Or is it something in the water? What makes some people "viderate" and others embarrassingly illiterate in what works with online video?
I don't know the answer, but this new "No, You Can't -- No, Se Puede" video by the old(!) Billionaires for Bush crowd is the latest "parage" (parody/homage) to hit YouTube in the wake of Will.i.am's hugely popular "Yes, We Can." And it's pretty snarky.
Actually, I take it back, clearly owning a Final Cut Pro and possessing an ability to sing does not translate into great political video for some:

"Screw unity, lets throw rocks at Republicans!"
Well, that is what the first vid is about. Wouldn't want anyone to know the Democratic Party is the party of the rich, (George Soros and Warren Buffet). And as for holding on to power, why does the Democratic Party need super delegates?
