Pennsylvania's Marketplace of Ideas

Right Wing Limericks

TRUMPeting HIMSELF

Trump endorses Mitt Romney. So What?
The case for Mitt's not open and shut.
Donald should have no sway
Today or any day -
He's an egomaniacal nut.

He'll make any kind of commotion
Hoping to Trump up some emotion
That will cause folks to jump
When they hear the name Trump.
It's nothing more than self-promotion.

A General DEFENSE

Nothing to hear and nothing to see.
I knew nothing about it. Not me.
But if he's not lying -
And that I'm not buying -
He should be fired for incompetency.

The American public's not dense
And we know Holder doesn't make sense
But he had to reply
To the questions. Oh, my...
It's known as the Sgt. Schultz Defense.

FOXNews, 2/2/12:"Attorney General Eric Holder vigorously denied a 'cover-up; by the Justice Department over 'Operation Fast and Furious,' telling a House panel investigating the botched gun-running program that he has nothing to hide and suggesting the probe is a 'political' effort to embarrass the administration."

PRINCIPLES

Steve Welch is the endorsed candidate.
He's from the southeast... some think that's great
'Cause geographically
That gives diversity
To the endorsed Republican slate.

Ignore his vote, last time, for Barack;
Ignore his cash for Sestak... a shock.
Does he represent you?
What do we need to do?
Of our principles, we must take stock.

The Republican State Committee, on Jan. 28, endorsed Steve Welch for the U.S. Senate. Welch was a registered Democrat who supported Obama and Sestak, just a few years ago.
