Elective poetry

'T was the day of elections and all through the nation/ The Republicans were scared, but not of inflation. \nWhispers had turned into loud roaring calls/ For a new party to dominate Congress' halls.\nThe voters were ready and poised with aggression/ To teach Karl Rove and his lackeys a lesson.\nPeople were tired of the scandalous game/ That had become so attached to the Republican name.\nWhen out of New Jersey there came a new hope/ It seemed Tom and Fred now could elope.\nGod-fearing men from all over the land/ Raced to the polls, saying gay marriage won't stand.\nThe president, too, he jumped on his plane/ Flying cross-country to speak in God's name.\n"Marriage is holy," George W. spoke/ Too little, too late, it was already broke.\nDemocrats rallied, they cried mass corruption/ Abramoff's dealings had caused an eruption.\nIncumbents were falling, admitting their shame/ The donkeys all cheered when Foley took blame.\nGo Donnelly! Go Ellsworth! Go Hill! Can't you see?/ If you win, the leader would be Pelosi.\nTo the hills of Afghan' to the fronts of Iraq/ The Dems have a plan to bring the troops back.\nWar was a platform Bush knew all too well/ He hunted the terrorists and sent them to hell.\nBut the public cried out, said: "We're lost, and we're mired,"/ So they took to the polls to get Republicans fired.\nDon't think Dems hate freedom, for that's not the case/ But you'd never know from watching this race.\nSince getting Saddam, we'd all played a game/ Of pointing our fingers and shifting the blame.\nCheney and Rumsfeld knew not what to do/ the country was turning scarily blue.\nStates that once loved them were losing their red/ Too many more burgers and Cheney was dead. \nRove never stumbled, he thought they'd come through/ Despite his best efforts, the Dem support grew.\nThe country was tired, and on further inspection/ Discovered in '04 that Bush stole the election.\nBut this day was different, no fraud would be found/ Rove would go weeping and fall to the ground.\nO'Reilly and Fox News lost all respect/ While Franken and liberals became the best bet.\nThe South even changed, which was a surprise/ Tennessee and Virginia said no to red guys.\nThe racist was ousted, which gave Webb the win/ Obama got brethren when Ford was put in.\nDistrict to district and state after state/ Republicans all seemed to meet the same fate.\nTried as they could to make us believe/ Everyone knew it was time they should leave.\nAs the sun began setting, the choice was made clear/ Voters wanted change, and they got that this year.\nIn a unified voice, these words were then spoken/ "We can do better, the country is broken."\nIn a dream this I saw, all this was the manner/ By which we united and unfolded our banner.\nThat banner read "freedom," and freedom is great/ Goodbye, GOP, better luck in '08.
