Congressional Values

I watch our liberal congress with little admiration As they show their family values to our entire nation They say if you don’t have time for children Because you’re in a hurry Just murder them before they’re born Then you won’t have to worry It would be nice just for once To believe in some of the things they said But they have to call a proctologist When they can’t find their head So I dreamed I went to Washington To ask them to change course But I found that I was talking to The north end of a south bound horse Before congress goes into session They pass around large receptacles I thought they were collecting documents But they were collecting testicles In order to clean out Washington The Pied Piper would be nice Although we voted for human beings We seem to have elected mice It’s time to elect people Who aren’t afraid to say what they think Than have the same old congress With the same old stink.

a very good write. even if we get some one good in office, they are always to busy trying to please special groups, instead of doing what is best for the country and God.

Vince I was wondering what was in that receptacle.Hmmm, Now I know. You got my vote for all the good it would do. I still think they ought to reinstate the popular vote. I guess they don't have that many fingers and toes to count that high, Ron

He he he he. No matter what country or what race or what creed, ALL politicians are the same!!!! All they seem to care about is what suit they will wear tomorrow and how much their household security is. And the rest of the country be da@!#ed!!! Scrupleless(if there is such a word) and shameless, that's what they are!!! Well done for making your voice heard, lets hope there is a politician out there that notices!!! Peace Fathima

very good i liked the rhyming and the ideals about change. but are they changing or are they pretending to change. i'm not pro choice. i just believe life begins when God breaths into it the breath of life. and it is He who decides. thank you for your welcome welcome comments. as always john

This one made me laugh, Vince!! I love the political "description's"...that only you could come make so comical! (Considering congress is such a serious business). I'm trying hard not to visualize a few of those lines....but you make your point very well!! I admire your convictions and honest look at things, and respect your stand! Great way to express your opinion!! God Bless!! ~Carrie
