How fed up are you with this presidential race? I'm really having a lot of fun.....Can't you tell?

I Can't Believe the Ignorance By Franklin Price 7/31/2016 I can't believe the ignorance that in our candidates abounds And how lacking in intelligence their conversation sounds Both are an embarrassment from this observation made Both make most our faces turn a deeper redder shade One of them is subtle learned by years in Washington The other is quite obvious and neither one is fun One says what you want to hear whether true or not The other spouts out stupid things and proves he doesn't care a lot How is it that we got here, to create this place so wrong? Through lack of interest by the parties. It's been going on so long Disinterest in the last eight years; no handshakes 'cross the aisles Nothing done of consequence, just check the laws and files Many people thought the thought; nothing we can do of note Why should we be involved at all, or go to the polls and vote This has happened many years, longer than we'd like to think Less voters to the polls each year, took this country to the brink So much disenchantment with established party ways That we picked a strange outsider to try to give us better days He was outspoken from the start. Got media for free Would make this country great again; the best for you and me Ran as a Republican though didn't act as such Enchanted many voters with his golden Midas touch Brought in many voters; independents, RINOS too Grasping for a welcome change for anything that's new He won the nomination though he didn't make much sense Better an outspoken ignorant than establishment that's dense Now we have a liar and an ego maniac I'm sure that either one that wins will have this country's back

It's frightening to think of either of them taking office. We need a hero to ride in and save the day -- like that's going to happen! We need to pray fervently for this country. Great write, Franklin! Blessings!
