Funny that he chose this whole train theme given that Romney/Ryan want to defund Amtrak and gut all railroad worker’s benefits. Of course he’s also a bit crazy…..

Oh, BTW, interesting viewing of this guy’s other videos. Don’tcha know, he’s called the Third Eagle of the Apocalypse? Totally stable guy whose endorsement any candidate would want.

Not sure if trolling, exercising extreme irony or being serious. Brace yourselfs, one does not simply watch stupid people on youtube… without over-interpreting how they could be so stupid they come out right the other end as being utterly brilliant.

  Is there anyone here claiming to have gaydar who thinks otherwise?
  What we have here is another clear case of a victim of communal childhood indoctrination, overcompensating for his perceived shortcomings.

  Gees, chill. Some old guy is having some fun with video, keyboard, a song and politics and everyone is getting all herniated over it.
  Crap people, give hom a break, the video is funny, definitely not ROFL funny but still funny enough.
  As for embarrassing American politics, Paul Ryan the pseudo Catholic with his publicly declared love for the atheist “Greed is God” Ayn Rand, nothing does more to embarrass American politics than that pathological liar does.
