Finger-pointing, lying, religious pandering attempting to pass as astute political reasoning.

I watched the Republican debate

Last night. I was among the many

Who were greatly disturbed that

Leaders of a political party of a

Large nation would openly make

Complete fools of themselves

Before a large audience. Let’s 

Just start with the smallest of 

Potatoes, Doctor Ben Carson.

Does he not watch videos of

His performance or is he so out 

Of touch with his own image?

He must be paying no attention

To the late night shows hosted

By comedians. Why is he wasting

So much money to pursue his

Dream? I sincerely hope when 

He finally wakes up and calls

It quits, he will still be able to 

Perform pediatric brain surgery.

John Kasich from Ohio pretending

To be the adult in the room wasted

His time chiding the Bickersons;

Should just have stuck to what 

He’s done as governor. The crowd

Didn’t need to be told the others

Were off the wall. Ted Cruz wasn’t

At all open about his positions on

Policy. Where are his friends in the

Congress? And what about all the

Reported backstabbing? Marco 

Rubio? Send him back to alligatorville.

Too young, too short, too good

Looking for Washington. Problem

For him in Hollywood if he tries

To memorize scripts longer than 

Twenty-five seconds. Invokes

Religion like everybody’s a

Christian evangelist. Preaching,

There's his calling. All this time

Debating and he didn’t know

Cruz could speak Spanish.

Maybe he thought Cruz 

Couldn’t speak Spanglish.

Jeb! lets the other guy shout

Over him and looks befuddled

When he won’t shut up. Jeb!

Could use some comedic

Training with handling hecklers

How deep are his pockets? If

He’s the Anointed they’ll need

To oil him up again. If he has

To hide under the Bush family

Matron of Big Bad Barbara 

When the wolf comes calling

About his dad or his brother

He should tell his backers to

Take their money off his table

And find another to skewer

His accuser. The Donald. How

This man keeps shooting holes

In his boat that refuses to sink

Is beyond me. He has celebrity

Appeal for that section of the 

Electorate who don’t understand

That most celebrities have 

Feathers for brains. Am I worried

He has a chance? This is the 

Country where cowboys stood

Up to the Federal government a

Few weeks ago and gun nuts

Control the legislature. Yeah,

I’m worried.
