Top 7 Post-Breakup Anthems for Democrats who Vote for Romney
1. Gloria Gaynor’s “I Will Survive” — Breaking Free From a Toxic Dependency Relationship
Many Obama voters are figuring out that the dependency that Democrats seek to foist on the American people (Big Government = Good Government) provides a short-term thrill, followed by long-term damage to individual Americans and to the body politic.

I expected to see 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover by Paul Simon

I’d like to help you in your struggle
To be free
There must be fifty ways
To leave your lover
(modified chorus)
You slip a knife in the back, Jack
No economic plan, Stan
You constantly annoy, Roy
Just listen to me
No room under bus, Gus
You don’t need to discuss much
It’s Benghazi, Lee
And get yourself free
