I think that I shall never see
A party as corrupt as the GOP.
A party whose greedy hand is pressed
In the pocket of those not financially blessed.
A party that talks of God all day,
But hates all those who do not pray;
A party that during a campaign will wear,
A smile that hides the hate it bears.
Upon whose head much guilt is laid,
For games of theft that it has played.
A party made up of fools I see,
A Democrat I'd rather be.

[defendandprotect]

138. That should definitely make it !!
