Manchin° the No-Man

A Poem by Bob B

(This poem can be sung to the melody of "Frosty the Snowman," by Steve Nelson and Walter Rollins.)

Manchin the no-man

Is as proud as he can be

When he kills a bill that would help fulfill

A plan for you and me.

Manchin the no-man

Thinks that he is on a roll.

But you wonder whom he's beholden to

And to whom he's sold his soul.

There must be something going on

That makes him act this way

And has progressives reeling as

He makes his power play.

Manchin the no-man

Thinks that he is being strong

When he acts as though he's a friend, but no,

He just strings us all along.

Manchin the no-man

Is a man who's out of touch

With what people feel has great appeal.

He says, No, it costs too much.

A bill that helps all families

Should be a worthy cause,

Along with one for voters' rights,

But Manchin shouts out "Pause!"

Manchin the no-man

Sadly glories in his ruse.

As he jerks us all around and shares

His nonsense on Fox News.

Manchin the no-man

Is a person we can't trust.

He'll sit back and gloat as he casts his vote

For a bill to bite the dust.

Bumpity-bump-bump, bumpity-bump-bump…

Watch as he says NO!

Bumpity-bump-bump, bumpity-bump-bump…

Manchin has to go.

He is just one of many that is an example of why we need to remove money from politics and make lobbying illegal. These corporate politicians have no right infecting our government with their greed. They do not serve their constituents but corporations. They are the reason income inequality is getting worse yearly. They are entitled millionaires earning over 200 thousand annually off our tax dollars while passing laws that better serve big business companies as well as themselves. How is making money off buying stocks even legal for them when they have privilege information on our economy? Stop sending these corporate politicians and do nothing political hacks into government. We need major reform of our government and that includes the ridiculous amount of money they are being paid along with the benefits. People need to stop voting against their economic interests and especially for millionaires and lawyers to run our government. They don't serve your interests they serve their own and the corporations they later join once they leave government. Only we the people can stop this madness.
