I never knew Obama would bring out my poetic side, but apparently he does.
See, I entered a haiku poetry contest about the presidential election on Associated Content.
Come read my haikus.
Unless your name is McCain,
You won't regret it.
Well, I can't reprint those ones here, because the contest entry was exclusive for AC, but I can think of a few more. Just give me a minute here...
Joe Biden is swell.
McCain, on the other hand,
Can just go to hell.
And it rhymed, too! I don't know if that wins you extra points in haiku, or demerits. A few more...
Beggars on the streets.
Folks out of work all over.
McCain doesn't care.
Lipstick on a pig.
Maybe Cheney looks better
with feminine side.
Civil liberties
Were stolen by Bush/Cheney.
I want them back now.
Barack if you please
Bring economic justice.
People are waiting.
It turns out writing poetry about politics IS kind of like putting lipstick on a pig.

I love it, here's a BIG 10 from me!
Neil, thanks for the vote. Now get out and vote for Obama!
Sheena, no kidding. I really hope he follows through. I am definitely going to be keeping an eye on him once elected (it's good to do that with all politicians).
Thanks, Sharon.
Lynn, I know. I can't understand why EVERYONE isn't disturbed by that aspect of the Bush years. Conservatives are always saying they're patriotic too. Well, hello! If you're so patriotic, why don't you care about the Bill of Rights?
Thanks, Atlantis.
I enjoyed your poetry. Keep writing!

Don't forget to give him the house and senate to get that done. He can't do it alone.
Thanks Karen and Carl.
Sandy, excellent point! Yes, it's true. We need a strong Democratic majority in Congress as well.
I had already planned to vote for Obama, so...
Yay!
America deserves 8 more years of the Bush dynasty. People like you would deprive us of our manifest destiny. All those who disagree with you can join me and Sarah, by purchasing Titanic II cruise tickets. According to Sarah, the proceeds will be forwarded to the new McCain Prsidency and will be used to pay for God's War and the Corporate Executive Bailout. At $14,000 per family, if every family buys one, we can clear the decks for more productive McCain/ Palin adventures. It's what American's want. Get on board! Stop your whining!
My response was going to be "yeah, well I am appalled that anyone can still be supporting the Republican Party after Bush has shredded our Constitution. False appeals to patriotism really don't cut it when you're supporting an anti-American agenda." So I'll just say that anyway, for anyone who thought you were really supporting McCain.
