If Only You Would Vote For Me

IF ONLY YOU WOULD VOTE FOR ME When election time comes round, On my door they will pound. Telling what you are going to do for me. Lend me your ear,my vision is clear If only you would vote for me The traffic will move Your life will improve. If only you would vote for me And when elected I would have bridges erected to accelerate our economy. If only you would vote for me. I would stand up to oil. Relentless I'd toil in the war on poverty. If only you would vote for me. I would send kids to college and enrich them with knowledge to complement our society. If only you would vote for me. Believe if you dare. We'll all have health care, We can do it all for free. If only you would vote for me. I would engage meat axes And eliminate taxes and cease this tyranny. If only you would vote for me Our world is in turmoil I will insure tranquility If only you would vote for me. I would rail against racism Celebrate diversity If only you would vote for me P.S. I would like to hear your thoughts.

Typical political mumbo jumbo you hear from politicians. Appealing to idealistic young minds who do not understand the ways of the world yet. Those who have not studied history and believe in the goodness of man. There are some good ones, but to quote the Bible, Psalms 118:8 "It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man."

They promise the earth and after they've been voted in disappear down the holes they came from. I've no time for false promises. Tom

Holy guacamole. Marking this as a FAV, Truth in a nutshell. I am not fooled by promises of a utopian world. And the voters believe their garbage? Yes they believe these clowns. Their are many parties to choose from. Not just two))))))) Panagiota
