Conservatives and Liberals
Make me madder every day
Meet somewhere in the middle
You don't have to have your way

Should have consideration
For the country as a whole
Always sticking to your guns
Won't save your selfish soul

Seems to me you've not a clue
What this country's all about
Makes me want to stomp my feet
Pull my hair and cuss and shout

The way the polls are going
Seems I'm not the only one
To get rid of the establishment
Is how the voting has begun

Get rid of the do-nothings
The ones who won't agree
Hope this move won't take us down
We're just yearning to breathe free

The royalty is falling
They were never meant to be
To replace them with the same kind
Is not in the cards for me

If you're voting this election
And want to end it with a smile
Vote for independent thinkers
Who will cross the party aisle

Franklin: I notice many of these aren't getting comments. I'll add one here: The Ohio Governor and the Good Doctor are the kind of folks we should be looking at, not the "old guard" or the "Chumps". oldbuck

The good doctor and the governor are being out shouted by the other three. They are way too nice of people to be good politicians. When it comes to politics, I'm sorry to say, good guys finish last.
