The GOP Has Lost Its Way; A self-indulgent musing and critique about Republicans with my own thoughts about values and politics
A self-indulgent musing and critique about Republicans with my own thoughts about values and politics --
The GOP has lost its way
Doesn’t know which way to go
The choice is either a hard right turn
Or a self-serving status-quo
Principles went out the window
Sold out by a leadership
Desiring to serve themselves
Trapped in corruption’s grip
There is no need to live your faith
Here is what you can do
Instead of action on your part
They’ll legislate the TRUTH for you
As long as you are in power
And vote a certain way
They’ll overlook the things you do
They think adultery is okay
‘Cause family values really aren’t
Born of love and a sense of duty
It is more about what the leaders say
Not what they do with some young cutie
Republicans don’t care for values
Despite the things they say
They talk about them at election time
To get votes to come their way
They say government should only do
A few things at the most
Like pay for some parties
And trips to the left coast
Yes, government is to provide
Parties for the elite
Not health care for the poor
Or food for kids to eat
The money spent on donors
Is not about the economy
It is about reelection
And what is best for the G-O-P
So don’t confuse the hype
With actual policy
There are hidden costs behind
What they say is good for you and me
So if you think tax payer cash
Is best spent on parties for the elite
And saying family values means
It is okay to cheat
Then they are the party
You should support
But I really think
They tend to come up short
Government spending should
Help the economy expand
And we need a safety net
For those who need a helping hand
And I think I must live my Faith
Government cannot do it for me
My Faith requires I work and love
To reach the people that I see
While voting is much easier
And politics brings me power
I still think I must live my Faith
Each and every hour
