Hate to burst your bubble

I was surprised they didn't use that classic gravelly voice for greater masculine appeal here. The narrator actually sounds somewhat close to what a normal person does instead of something like

I think everyone else pretty much covered the sentiment the video was trying to induce, and the sentiment I came away with: A celebration of narrow-minded, ultra masculinity, and "Uhh... what was that? People still buy into this BS? That's really unfortunate." , respectively.

..and how about a democratic house passing a healthcare bill that doesn't cover abortions? God bless america...

Sarcasm, or true to heart? {hard to tell, given the context}

@Frank Lee: I was just pointing out that RH77 (Tim?) went on to trumpet your english skills after being corrected for his spelling when he actually spelled "reckless" correctly. Not trying to be a douche, just thought it was funny that he thought he'd spelled it wrong and you seemed to breathe on your fingernails and wipe them on your chest. When stuff like that happens to me I think it's pretty funny - we're all human

@Topher: Sarcasm. Our elected representatives are mostly scum who regularly make poor choices and waste our time and money. I'm pretty disgusted with them all the time, but especially recently.

W/ so many great lines, someone w/ a gruff voice needs to do a funny voice-over. Add something about the Ram being built in Mexico in terms of the job angle or whatever.

It's not daffy duck... it's "Duckula", you can see the fangs on either side of the rear section of the bill.
