Both the parties have forgotten about the people. We have a president who seems to care but can't keep his mouth shut long enough to get cooperation that probaly would not be forthcoming anyway. Why can't we all just get along?
Politicos

Politicos are those who pledge
To win in any way
War's the same, that all is fair
When opponents come to play
All sides will do most anything
To be the ones to win
Those who are successful
Will find winning is a sin
What about the losers?
Well, the people made their choice
You have to leave the cities
To find the country has a voice
Don't complain the Constitution's
Electoral College came in play
Our founders sought for fairness
For everyone to have a say
The Constitution did it's part
Guaranteed the people's vote
I'd like to leave some food for thought
In my closing stanza note
If the outcome had been different
The sour grapes would be the same
Politicos run both the parties
The only difference is the name
PS
Parties should care about the people
And not the win in any way
I'm sure the founding fathers
Are rolling in their graves today
