The Veto

Originally written December 21, 2007

A Republican spokesman on the news the other day,
Bragged with the information which he had to say.
One hundred-fifty Republicans signed a letter to the president,
And made a pact.
That each time the president vetoed a piece of legislation,
That veto would stay intact.
How the president and his crew of congressmen,
Must have laughed while the Democrats,
Debated and negotiated.
Trying to get a bill to pass,
Knowing no matter how much that bill was needed.
That they would never get,
The votes to have that bill completed.
Months passed and these Republicans,
Forgot the people they were supposed to represent.
Believing that the way to stay in power,
Was to follow the president.
But the president let the cat out of the bag,
When he began to spout.
The democrats are getting nothing done,
And should be voted out.
If the American people forgot the past eight years,
And fall for this unholy scheme.
We might as well give up on,
The American dream.
Let this administration stay in power,
And they will bankrupt this nation,
And bring it to its knees.
And the huge corporations,
Will have us in their fist.
Because our ordinary citizens,
Have lost the nerve to resist.
