What do you guys think? Over the top or on the mark?  Honestly, I'm tired of childern being used as an advantage for political campaigns and ads, lame.

Lyrics are below:

'Imagine an America
Where strip mines are fun and free
Where gays can be fixed
And sick people just die
And oil fills the sea
 
We don’t have to pay for freeways!
Our schools are good enough
Give us endless wars
On foreign shores
And lots of Chinese stuff

We’re the children of the future
American through and through
But something happened to our country
And we’re kinda blaming you
 
We haven’t killed all the polar bears
But it’s not for lack of trying
The Earth is cracked
Big Bird is sacked
And the atmosphere is frying
 
Congress went home early
They did their best we know
You can’t cut spending
With elections pending
Unless it’s welfare dough
 
We’re the children of the future
American through and through
But something happened to our country
And we’re kinda blaming you
 
Find a park that is still open
And take a breath of poison air
They foreclosed your place
To build a weapon in space
But you can write off your au pair
 
It’s a little awkward to tell you
But you left us holding the bag
When we look around
The place is all dumbed down
And the long term’s kind of a drag
 
We’re the children of the future
American through and through
But something happened to our country
And yeah, we’re blaming you
 
You did your best
You failed the test
 
Mom and Dad
We’re blaming you!

It's a trifle melodramatic...

But in the end there's a lot of crap on both sides, especially from the peripheral interest groups, another reason I'm going to be soooo happy when this thing is over with.

First of all I want to know who wrote this song.

For some reason this makes me think of the 2004 ad that ended with a pack of wolves approaching the camera.

There's nothing wrong with the message. At the same time, these kids are child actors - therefore, their involvement with this campaign is no different than any other gig they may do. I imagine in a conservative libertarian society, parents would have even more leeway to whore out their children.

Also, what right-wing site directed you to this? I can see some opposition group has been voting the video down in droves.
