The Debates
Poem by a Viewer, Opinions Recalled
Our country, our country, our country,
Wink, wink, nod: Ah heck, I love to talk to People!"
"Economy worse in the last ten years,
Real change in my party,
End the war, bring the troops home."
"No, no end in sight,
Maybe 100 year presence?
But we'll give them money while they're there."
"He said at 9 everything was fine,
Then at 11 he said it was a crisis --
The regulations must be stiffer."
"He meant that Joe Six-Pack was fine
But Soccer Moms are worried,
Heck, it's all your fault anyway!"
"Changes must help mortgagees
Not executives with golden parachutes,
And the war was based on lies."
"I'm just a pitbull with lipstick,
You betcha; us hockey moms are tough!
And I'll increase the Vice President's power!"
"Executive power must be balanced,
Foreign policy must include tough diplomacy,
It's time to restore our position in the world!"
"I smile, and tilt my head and wink,
Don't you like me?
Just you wait, we'll win, you betcha!"

Post a Commentyou betcha is right! great poem
haa you said it all, and thank God she or I should say she and MCain didn't win.
Loved the poem. I think Palin is evil wearing a mask (at least for the time being). She'd probably try and get me fired for saying this but I'm retired so I'm not too afraid of her. Could you imagine how big her "enemies list" must be. It would put Nixon's to shame.
Intersting. Thank You fer sharin' your talent. Mizpah. ;-}}>
Great poem.
I hear ya', matie.... It was actually insulting seeing what her strategy was... Still loads of claims with no details to back them up, lots of big words that don't mean anything when you actually think about them (and if that isn't classic 'politician talk', then I don't know what is...she is sure good at talking a lot without saying anything meaningful), obviously thinking that if she looks good and as chummy as the girl next door then she ought to be elected president (not VICE president, mind you... she wants the big job... too many Freudian slips to count), never mind how utterly unqualified she is for the post. It's W in a skirt.... good at cheerleading and at accusing others of the scare and attack tactics while she does hardly anything else but that. To think that some folks actually bought it..... O well... if she can sell 'em a bridge to nowhere.... ;oP
great good one!!! wink wink
