Caucus

A caucus is a meeting of supporters or members of a specific political party or movement. The term originated in the United States, but has spread to Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa and Nepal. As the use of the term has been expanded, the exact definition has come to vary among political cultures.

Origin of the term

The origin of the word caucus is debated, but it is generally agreed that it first came into use in the British colonies of North America.

A February 1763 entry in the diary of John Adams of Braintree, Massachusetts, is one of the earliest appearances of Caucas, already with its modern connotations of a "smoke-filled room" where candidates for public election are pre-selected in private:

An article in Great Leaders and National Issues of 1896 surveying famous presidential campaigns of the past, begins with an unsourced popular etymology of the origin of the caucus:

The presidential nominating convention is a modern institution. In the early days of the Republic a very different method was pursued in order to place the candidates for the highest office in the land before the people.

Tell me tell me that
Tell me tell me that
Can I look into your eyes? Hey hey hey
Can't ya hear me say
Tell me tell me that
Can I dance between your thighs
Hey hey hey. Can't ya hear me say
No no no no. Tell me yeah, yeah, yeah
No no no no. Tell me yeah, yeah, yeah
Tell me tell me that
Tell me tell me that
Tell me tell me that

Hey hey hey. Can't ya hear me say
Tell me tell me that
Can I carry you upstairs? Hey hey hey

I need your love - I want my share
Well uh huh and a no no no
Uh huh and a yeah yeah yeah
No no no no tell me yeah yeah yeah
No no no no tell me yeah yeah yeah
Shhhh - Be very very quiet
It's woman season - I'm woman hunting
Every time I go woman hunting
It always seems to blow up in my face
I never really get the things I want
I'm not expecting a pity party or nothing
Any girl'd be nice every now and then
I'm a nice guy - I bathe
Sure I got blue arms - So what?
It doesn't make me a bad person
One example - Just last night I had it all ready
The girl that walked out on me on New years Eve
Well she came back last night
And she said, "I don't have to go home tonight."
I said, "All right."
So - I bought again a case of cold, cold Heiniken
And then - I had it in the van
A big bottle of Jack Daniels
Not the little one, the big one
And I always carry a stash, cause you never know
I had two left, two ludes, for the girl of my dreams
Now,again, she drinks my beer
She drinks my whiskey
She does my Qualudes
5 o'clock comes
"Oh I feel sick - I gotta go home now."
And she threw up all over the floor
I said, "Freeze, freeze - go outside and do that!"
I said, "The hell with this. I don't need this."
"I'll go to the geisha house where it's free."
So I said, "Quit, quit throwing up"
"Don't tell me no, tell me yeah yeah yeah"
Don't tell me no tell me yeah yeah yeah
And she threw up again
Tell me tell me that
Tell me tell me that
Tell me tell me that
Can I lubricate your lips
Hey hey hey
Can't ya hear me say
Tell me tell me that
Can I steal your battleship
Hey hey hey, can't ya hear me say
I know I ain't no Romeo
I know you got no place to go
I need your love
I want my share
Well uh huh and a no no no
There goes an uh huh and a yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
No no no no - Tell me yeah yeah yeah
No no no no - Tell me yeah yeah yeah
No no no no - Tell me yeah yeah yeah
No no no no - Tell me yeah yeah yeah
Trust me
Ooooo
