Broward County, FL - Home of the Hanging Chad
With apologies to Marilyn and Alan Bergman
(sung the tune of "The Way We Were" preferably by a never-worked-a-day-in-her-life, thinks-she-can-act-too, knows-what's-best-for-the-little-people singer)
Special interests line the pockets of my purse.
Kids, dogs and dead people -
The way we were elected.
Social programs give jobs and money to our comrades,
Let us keep the borders open -
The way we were elected.
Can it be that it was all so simple then,
Or have minorities switched party lines?
If we could overtax and spend again,
Notice - would they? Could they?
Editorials may be beautiful and yet,
Election rules are painful to remember
We simply ask state judges to recount and forget.
So its Bill & Hillary
We will remember,
No values and instant residency -
The way we were elected;
The way we were elected.
