Original Pokemon Theme Singer Remixes The Song For Ron Paul

Jason Paige sang the original theme song for the Pokemon TV show in 1998, and now he's back singing the same song with new lyrics about Ron Paul.

Paige says that, "almost all the original lyrics fit as is," which may be a bit of a stretch, because I'm not sure if Ron Paul is interested in training them all (all being his constituents, I guess). In any case, video games and Ron Paul seem to be having more and more in common than I'm assuming Mr. Paul probably realizes.

Dear Ron Paul why are you unelectable? I wish people would give you a chance.
