Not calling names; but I am speaking, not only from my own heart, but also from the hearts of those who have had a CHANGE of heart, (and there ain’t many who haven’t). The polls don’t lie, people do. We burn and learn, and if we don’t learn, the whole blame country will just go to... well. So! The next time we go choosing our country’s lifeguard (metaphorically speaking), ask yourself this question. Would you rather a man you can barely stomach but who’s a patriot at heart... or one who’ll do ANYTHING for the heroine title? We’re not living in the past anymore people... politics have evolved and what’s deemed right is now wrong and vise versa. Look at what they’ve changed the symbol of the God given rainbow into... case in point!

GET’ER DONE 


I don’t like a bragging bigot,
Tall in stature, but in class, a midget

A man of faith, a fool to some
But at least a man who’ll get’er done.

I don’t like a man, who’s mouth is runny,
You’ll be outraged or think it’s funny.

A brilliant boss, a beast to some,
At least a man who’ll get’er done.

Don’t like a bull in a China shop,
Cut to the chase, fail or flop.

Not a fan of most everyone,
But at least a Hulk who’ll get’er done.

Would we rather one tailor fit,
political liar, bumbling twit... 

A wrecking ball that ain’t bout Schmidt?
Excuse my colorful candid wit.

Give me a proven man
whose paid the cost,
have built an empire being the boss,

Went far out into the deep,
to save his country rocked to sleep

Some’ll beg to differ, but here’s the sum.
We needed a patriot who would get’er done!
