Republican Primary Debaters_2011 or Send In The Clowns

No thinking required
Don't bother with facts
Hate of Obama inspired
Debates of political hacks

Nothing much cerebric
Politics of division
Divisive rhetoric
Fuels non-factual revision

Herman Cain
The pizza man
His claim to fame
A 9-9-9 plan

Mitt Romney of Mass
Flip-flopper supreme
He heads that class
Far from main-stream

Michelle Bachman, Tea Party Sweetie
Right-wing extremist
A Conservative deity
Their ' know it all' elitist

Good citizens be wary
Of the "Lord High Executioner"
The Texan Governor Perry
The debating exhibitioner

Rick Santorum 'knows' the "true religion"
He'll declare for us what's right and wrong
He doesn't give a damn or smidgeon
For conflicting values that he 'knows' don't belong

Let's not forget Ron Paul
Who'll privatize all worthy intentions
He believes his presidential call
Is to end government interventions

Self proclaimed imperious Newt Gingrich
Looks down at those other mere mortals
He's a thousand to one long shot cinch
To never walk through the White House portals

And so the debates go on and on
With the dissidence they've wrought
We citizens will reject their con
And they'll learn it was all for naught

Much of these politics is just lost on me, being a simple Brit., but I get the message, and chortle. Well done.

What a bunch of cartoon characters they are! Stanza nine's amusing rhyme inspires this triplet:

What fools be these mortals:
More worthy of chortles
Than White House's portals!
