Political Reality Show

Political Reality Show



        America, self appointed leaders of the free world...I guess he who haveth
               the biggest guns can choose...We will never lose...again that is...

         I love this country, although lacking ancient tradition just means that we
        will be the most ancient of America's traditions a thousand years from now
                                               when they study us...
 
     And true to America's form for theatrics what do we do? We give them a show...
                       A comedy in fact starring people who are already stars...

          What a debauchal we have in our presidential race this voting season...Can 
          someone give me a reason?...A reason why we are left with the candidates 
                                                 we currently have...

            The final showdown shaping up to be The Grump versus The Chump...Oh
           how I can hear the world laughing...I can feel our future generations eyes
                             looking back at us with disgusted amusement!!!
             
         Clinton and Trump...Reality T.V. at its best...Don't you fret the ratings will 
         be great...state by state...The entire world will be watching...and laughing...

         Everyone is going to laugh at us...Are already laughing at us...The mockery 
        we've made out of our election process...Out of our right to vote...I hate this
                                            show...Can you hear them???

                                  I am not laughing...I am not laughing at all...

Timothy Hicks March 14, 2016 at 1:19 PM Funny for the foreigners, but an embarrassment for the locals. Yes. This year's selection is rather sad ... you hear that one recent saying? "Choosing the right president for me is like choosing the right STD for you." .... Sad? But true! Clinton's a liar, and Trump is .... wellllll he's hard to explain. Obnoxious as all get out. I can't tell if he's serious or not in anything he says or if it's just to gain attention. Brian Davey March 16, 2016 at 2:36 AM Total embarrassment for us, how does or government expect people to respect us when we give them to believe us to be foils

Andrea Dietrich March 13, 2016 at 7:59 PM We are a huge joke. I so agree, Brian. I made up a slogan for election season: "Pick your Poison OR Head to Canada" Brian Davey March 13, 2016 at 9:17 PM Canada is sounding better and better especially after The Donalds newest guffaw! see ya there Andrea

Robert Heemstra March 13, 2016 at 4:05 AM Absolutely right! Brian Davey March 13, 2016 at 7:14 AM thank you, it's hard not to agree though
