The Eagle Gives Chase

The common vulture shows it's greedy face
and that's what our culture must soon erase.
My countrymen, I spy, with quickened pace,
the eagle gives chase, the eagle gives chase.

I don't agree with the socialist thrust
that the government's a god we should trust.
When one has clout, a master plan's a must.
What is fair and just? what is fair and just?

Our Constitution is all but ignored,
and we have all heard the highest court's word.
In the weeks past, both "birds" have underscored -
Your vote is your sword, your vote is your sword.

Wield it with care as a soldier who's deployed
to guard our great nation from being destroyed.
Join her defense, keep freedom's fire employed.
The eagle's not void, the eagle's not void.



slamming the liberal judges,  expansive social welfare programs,  and 
the long term goal of government guaranteed universal medical care rights (that's the vulture)

you make me want to cry, because I sorely need health insurance and my hubbie does not qualify in Utah. well, we could get it for 1,200 dollars the two of us (but that's 1/3 of our combined income when we both are working!) and right now my hubbie is unemployed. I do not like either candidate. I feel very hopeless about the future. anyway, it's nice to see people are liking the Mormon candidate. I'm Mormon and I don't even like the guy very much!
