A poetic reading of the GOP platform

RomFrom Salon:

Right-wingers seem more than unbright,

Since when Ryan says Romney will fight

To end medicare,

Women’s rights, and clean air,

They hear, “Vote for us since we’re both white.”

Mike Moulton

 

Help for Mitt has been offered by — Newt!

To make debates wily and cute,

He tweets him to speak,

With brashness and cheek –

And Obama will have him en croute!

Shirley Stuart

It doesn't scan right. How about:

Right-wingers seem more than unbright,

When Ryan says Romney will fight

To end medicare,

Women’s rights, and clean air,

They hear, “Vote for us, we’re both white.”

If O doesn't get off his ass
He may have to stand back and say, "Pass."
Seems American folks
Prefer bullies to blokes
Who seem bored, even though they have class.

As a rule, Americans are stupid, illiterate, and mean. They will vote for the guy who tells the story they want to hear and ignore the facts that they can't comprehend anyway. They respond to the us and them rhetoric of the Republicans because they feel that their place at the head of the line is the birthright of straight white christians. They are authentically disgusted that the rest of us think we're their equals.
