With one debate after another this season of the Republican Primary has turned into a mass of blurry BS sprinkled with hypocritical hogwash aimed at bamboozling enough un and under educated voters as possible.
Sadly it has worked so far as the candidates who have dropped out of the race are not much worse than the ones remaining.
None of us are without faults but most of us don't lie for a living. Well I just lost any trial lawyers who read my blog.
As human beings many if not all of us have trouble remembering all the facts.
But it is equally true that when long pieces of information or soliloquies are put to music or placed in pleasing rhyme schemes they may become, well, memorable.
I was never in a Shakespeare play nor did I commit any of his works to memory but I can recite the "tomorrow and tomorrow..." piece as well as anyone this side of Richard Burton and friends.
So for the aid and assistance of those of you who's eyes have blurred and ears are aching listening to the phony rhetoric spewing from both sides of the mouths of the Republican Presidential hopefuls I offer four simple poetic (I hope) explanations of their character.
In no special order I give you:
The Song of Romney
But vote for me now
Newt's Plaint
I know I was harsh on old Bill
When his Presidency I tried to kill
Sure I too had a fling
But I gave her a ring
And next time and again I will!
Ron Paul Bearer's Wish
Like Humpty upon his great wall
Should any of our poor people fall
If bones they do break
To the hospital take
Their own money, not mine AT ALL!
And finally:
Notes from the Inner Santorum
A woman's body's her temple
To be worshipped and honored and such
And all must follow MY example
Before marriage you never may touch
As for fetus and zygote and sperm
Between Bible and life there's no chasm
Presidents must decide for their term
When and where you may have your orgasm!
I hope these little ditties make it easier for all voters when they pull that important lever come November. America's future rests in their hand heaven help us!

It makes my head hurt, but
It makes my head hurt, but one thing that this primary has done. The republicans alone strayed from their talking points and showed how primitive their social policies are, they have no economic agenda for the 99% except the debunked policies of the last 30 years which have been mocked by Bartlett and Stockman from the Reagan administration and serve the 1%. On every issue they have on national TV and on the campaign trail destroyed themselves. Their own words will be the campaign commercial of their opponents. Then their are there fellow republican colleagues whose legislation has been nothing short of oppressive in every state where it could be. Just looking at the issues, I could never support that ideology, it would only cause more suffering to the 99% as we try to move forward.
