GOP 2012 BLUES

     The race is finally over

   The campaign's last reserve

  The democrats were rewarded

        The GOP got served

 

    They had a fighting chance

    Obama disappointed many

   Change that never happened

     Voters were getting angry

 

  What was the GOP'S big mistake

    Why did they finish so behind

    Who did they pick for president

  The whitest whitey they could find

 

    Ignored latinos gays and blacks

   Stalled when they should have run

Threatened to set back women's rights

         to eighteen sixty one

 

     Slung mud in every direction

  Said Obama was a socialist stooge

   The democrats were communists

     and there was a gay deludge

 

       And that crack about the 47

          burning in voters ears

      Amounted to a conformation

       of the GOP'S elitist sneers

 

      Pundits said the race was tight

     But it went the way it had to end

     The democrats had an advantage

        the GOP couldn't comprehend

 

        The voters cast their ballots

       and sent the GOP off to scurry

         cause they ran a dinosaur

             in the 21st century

in all the country speaks in a election and it is safe to say the tide is changing, it may have divided a country, but to have unity and racial harmony we must weed out the negativity, a work in progress but progress non the less.

How the GOP went from the reosonable Party of Eisenhower to the party of whack jobs that it is today is a long story with many players most notably the neoconservative movement that hi jacked the party in the 80'S. After two disasterous terms with the neocons poster boy Bush in the oval office and the GOP fielding a milk toast, rich, weird a*s little white boy against a man capable of riveting charisma when he's on the podium it's clear the only reason the GOP didn't lose even more was the buckets of money they threw into their Titanic of a campaign

Politics and its game of changes, chances, money, power and most of all greed...that is hard to choose who to trust.....Is the winner worthy or not...complicated issue to complicated situation....one thing is for sure hope its not too late for change... Great write my friend.

Very very clever. Honest, witty. I'd never read a good political poem, but I really enjoyed this!

Politics aside--because I'm still sore *laugh*--I didn't find much about this that was sloppy; I thought it was a well-written piece that flowed nicely and made its point; two areas where you thrive. Good on ya.

[Baby Ricochet]

My poem "Jail bait" is about the only piece I've ever written I thought perfect and I've tweeked it several times. GOP blues is at least entertaining which is what I'm aiming for with poems like this. Thank you for reviewing GOP 2012 blues Kimmer.

My pleasure, Baby...have you checked out Pathological NPD yet? (shameless plug, but you'll understand why I don't care when you read it *laugh*) ;-)

[Sarah Ramsbottom]

Congrats on four more years! As a neighbour in the North I was a little nervous for the USA. Not sloppy at all! :)

Very concise and well done, BR. You covered your topic extremely well, I think. Sloppy? I don't think so.
