Campaign Code Words


"Change," a key-word in this presidential campaign
But change to what, they haven't explained
Change for better or for worse?
Will it affect the tax-payers purse?

"Experience," another word thrown about
It's what they'll use to bail us out
They'll use their experience to undo
The muddle experience got us into

The phrase, "less words, more action"
Intends to render satisfaction
These catch-words voiced with sardonic ease
Keeps thoughtful voters most displeased

If they'd only articulate what was true
That would be something truly new
Speak to the issues should be the intention
Of candidates in our presidential election

Personality, race and gender
Seems that's all they have to tender
When leaders are chosen in this way
It's no wonder our world's in disarray

Interesting points made , Stan. Hear now the difranses betwean th partys cant be seen. Now , and fore many years. I write on my balet paper : ''none of the above/below'' . I was ameber of whatis now referd to as'' old labour'' , a member from 1969 - 1985. 1985 being the end of the coal miners strike. We know most of us diud any way , we wer mnarching in to history. Beter too goo in too history with a rore of lions , than , with bearly the squek of a mouse. Under Blear and Brown , ''new laboure '' was buern. The voise of labure shut up. Blear , Brown & co , took up the wip of Thatcher abd applyd it with as much relish as did she. Chains of det , fear of the dole like a ball atachde too those chains. War , now made thro out the world. In the U S , simaler has raind power and control. Mind'tis the masters of Thatcher /Blair/Brown , to blame . But what can we do? Nowt at all. Exsept write!
Chears , Stan and Don.
