I Did What

I DID WHAT!!!!

I voted liberal in the year of two thousand eight
Tired of George, my thinking wasn't that great
Now I realize as I see my country choking
I say to myself, Vince, what were you smoking

I voted liberal, the dumbest thing I've done yet
It took fourteen trillion before they knew they were in debt
They stole the entire United States treasury from me and from you
And from our children, grandchildren and great grandchildren too.

The spending is done at a rate that's insane
They shoved our credit rating right down the drain
The media hasn't complained about four dollars for gas
Vince, you must have had your head up your (guess)

I voted for change. I believed all those lies
We got change. I couldn't believe my eyes
I'm watching the death of the American Eagle
Guess I'll say a prayer while it's still legal

That is so true that we cannot believe what is happening before our eyes. Our government is no different. We think we can make the difference but it is a long hard road. Yes, say a prayer while we still can for every other religion seems to be a free for all but Christians have to watch what we say. Bolder dash to that and amen to this. love phyl

I think I read somewhere that prayer is illegal in a public place for Christians anyway. I feel for what you say Vince as we are right behind you here in Canada. Politicians just voted themselves HUGE pay increases and now are looking to cut pensions! I hat4e politicians

Don't beat yourself up. A lot of people were fooled by his charm and his lies. It's hard to know who to vote for anymore cause they all lie. Nice write. Love, KIm
