Another One Bites The Dust

 Image result for jeff flake meme

Jeff Flake's said that he won't be "complicit" anymore,
During an impassioned speech made from the Senate floor.
"Reckless and undignified and dangerous," said Flake.
Arizona's Senator has had all he can take.

Flake's resigning rather than continuing his fight
Against this extremism we're seeing from the Right.
Principled conservatism takes another hit,
'though I cannot say I blame those Senators who've quit.

Should they stay and kiss the ring on Donald's "liddle'" hand?
I wish more Republicans would also take a stand.
But, instead, most choose to put their principles aside
To support a President who isn't qualified.

Unsolicited Advice for Arizona's Governor

Governor of Arizona has a choice to make;
Can a shop refuse requests to bake a wedding cake
If the owner thinks that God would strongly disapprove?
Arizona's Senate passed the bill.  It's Brewer's move.

Will she sign it in to law or veto it instead?
Is discrimination based on who you want to wed
Similar to that about the color of your skin?
Either way she chooses though, Jan Brewer cannot win.

If she signs it in to law it doesn't end the fight;
Only ones who want her to are the religious right.
Even John McCain and Romney asked her not to sign.
It's all up to her right now but, if the choice were mine,

I would like to think that I would choose for equal rights.
But I'd ask LGBTs to pick some better fights.
If a person doesn't like you just because you're gay
Why would you spend money at their business, anyway?

Even if you have the right to force them to, what for?
You could never trust the people working at that store.
Find a better bakery, with folks who wish you well.
Tell religious bigots there that they can go to hell.

Race for the White House - Michigan and Arizona

 

Romney's breathing easier with last night's voting done.
'though the count was very close in Michigan; he won.
Arizona also went for Romney, by a lot,
Even though Santorum gave it everything he's got.

His team made some robo-calls they aimed at Democrats,
Urging them to vote for Rick.  The sneaky, little rats
Pointed out that Romney favored Wall Street, not Detroit.
For a guy who's pushing values, that was not adroit.

On to Super Tuesday where, for Gingrich and for Paul
This is when they have to win to have a chance at all.
But, Mitt Romney's cruising now with his most recent wins
And the cash he needs to advertise opponents' sins
