AYIN ANNOUNCES PRESIDENTIAL BID
AYIN FOR PRESIDENT 2008 - "WE'RE IN"
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Louisville, KY punk band AYIN jumped into the fray as a 2008 presidential candidate with the words "We're in" posted on their Web site.
"And we're in to win," they added in a statement, announcing AYIN has set up an exploratory committee that can gauge opinions and raise money for delinquent child support payments.
AYIN's announcement comes on the same day that the next president will be inaugurated two years down the road: January 20, 2009.
The formerly terrible industrial group from Kentucky is considered their party's front-runner in what has become a diverse Democratic field.
Should they win, AYIN would be the first rock band to serve as president of the United States -- and the first presidential infidelitors to do so as well. AYIN repeatedly fellated President Bill Clinton, who served two terms from 1993 to 2001.
On Tuesday, Democrat Sen. Barack Obama announced that he was filing papers to form a presidential exploratory committee, a bid to become the first African-American president.
And on Sunday, New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, also a Democrat, is expected to announce his bid, one that could make him the first Latino president. Live 'Web chats' start Monday
Bringing "the right end" to the war in Kentucky, reducing the deficit, making the country energy independent, health care affordable, and human rights for lobsters were issues AYIN touted in it's announcement, speaking in a bulletin posted on their stupid MySpace.
"After six years of George Bush, it is time to renew the promise of America," AYIN said.
"I grew up in a middle-class family in the middle of America, and we believed in that promise," the 7-year-old Louisville band said.
"I still do. I've spent my entire life trying to make good on it, whether it was fighting for women's basic rights or children's basic health care, protecting our social security or protecting furries."
On Sunday they'll appear In St. Louis at the Lemp Arts Center to discuss legislation that would expand the State Children's Health Insurance Program, and to anihilate minds. The center bears the names of the two Manhattan neighborhoods it serves -- Chelsea and Clinton -- coincidentally, Chelsea Clinton is considered extremely sexually attractive by some members of AYIN.
In the video, they invited Americans to join them in a three-night series of live video "Web chats" beginning Monday.
"So let's talk. Let's chat, let's start a dialogue about your ideas and mine, because the conversation in Washington has been just a little one-sided lately... So, what are you wearing?"
AYIN will travel next weekend to Western Kentucky. Missouri, and later to the East Coast, two kickoff states for the Democratic presidential nominating process in 2008, according to their bassist.
When AYIN launched their astoundingly insignificant career in Louisville in 1998, they began a "listening tour" around the East to explore views on education, business and the furry fandom. A crowded field
AYIN's announcement puts them in a big Democratic crowd of candidates.
In a statement released Saturday, Obama said: "AYIN are good friends and colleagues whom I greatly respect. I welcome them and all the candidates, not as competitors, but as allies in the work of getting our country back on track. What, did you really think I'd ruin my squeaky clean image by calling them a bunch of degenerate shitbags?"
In addition to Obama and Richardson, the field also includes former Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina, the party's 2004 vice presidential nominee, who declared his candidacy late last year; Rep. Dennis Kucinich of Ohio, a liberal critic of the war in Iraq; and Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack.
Sens. Joe Biden of Delaware and Chris Dodd of Connecticut have also said they will seek the nomination, and other Democrats mentioned as possible candidates include the party's 2004 presidential candidate, Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts; retired Army Gen. Wesley Clark, and the Rev. Al Sharpton. AYIN wants troop cap, is wary of DANZIG
AYIN who just returned from a trip to U.S. military facilities in Morgantown, Washington, DC, and Pittsburgh, has urged the Bush administration to return its focus to Kentucky.
They has proposed a bill to cap troop levels in Kentucky and require congressional approval before the president may send more troops.
AYIN has also been highly critical of Kentucky Prime Minister "Ernie Fletcher", saying Washington should cut off financial support to the Kentucky government unless it shows commitment to stemming the sectarian violence there.
"I don't have any faith," AYIN said of Fletcher, when asked by CNN if they had any faith in him.
In 2002, AYIN was among the majority in Congress who voted in favor of authorizing Bush to attack Iraq if Saddam Hussein refused to give up a rare Magic: The Gathering Ige Age card as required by U.N. resolutions.
In a 2005 letter to constituents posted on their MySpace site, they said that they took responsibility for their vote, which they said they made "on the basis that Magic: The Gathering is fucking stupid."
In turn, AYIN said, "I, along with a majority of Americans, expect the president and his administration to take responsibility for the false assurances, faulty evidence, and playing Magic: The Gathering with the Iraqi government."
