Babies and makin’ em Cowboys Linked is a (cool; stupid; funny; poignant; etc.) site that gives us a new take on the “Bush is a cowboy” cliché. To make this an ‘In My Humble Opinion’ post – I suppose I should ask your opinions. So ------ is the site 1) stupid; 2) funny; 3) poignant; 4) cool or something entirely different. In short – do you like it – yes or no.
I’d say it’s a bit stupid, definitely corny, and a bit scary. Scary in the sense that this is all the depth many American voters require in making their choice for PotUS. It’s telling that all of the cowboys mentioned are make-believe cinema/TV cowboys, that never had to work hard to put food in their stomaches or worry about their families while they were away in a difficult and often thankless job that paid very little. Definitely a form over substance sort of thing.
On the positive side I’d rather see Bush shown as good than the smear tactics that are more typical of Rove & Co.; this is better than untraceable murmurs and plausible deniability that is their normal bag of dirty tricks. So playing to emotions and patriotism is definitely a step up for them. Sadly I doubt it will end there.

So, to answer your question, I think it’s kind of stupid.
And here I’d always thought cowboys were cattle herders who’d show up in Dodge City once every few weeks for a dose of sarsparilla and syphilis, and spend the rest of their time roaming around on big empty plains and shooting Injuns.
Seriously, though- that was the funniest thing I’ve ever seen. If everything wasn’t spelled correctly I would have been convinced that a 6-year-old put it together. And the music… oh God, how I hate “God Bless the USA” in crappy instrumental format.
The guy is a douchebag, anyway. None of those guys were cowboys. They were Sheriffs and other assorted lawmen who went around shooting cowboys. None of them ever did a day of cattle herding.
