The RNC: Largely Fact Free

The recent Republican National Convention

Was a grueling four-day event,

With its MAIN focus on how bad things are,

Violent immigrants, and discontent.

 

After an exploited grieving mother

Confused facts on Benghazi nonstop,

Giuliani gave his blustery

Speech that was pretty much over the top.

 

Trump introduced his wife, Melania,

Whose speech appeared to underscore

Words uttered by Michelle Obama

In a speech that we had heard before.

 

Ryan and others talked about giving

Our vets the help that they deserve.

(Then why do Republicans keep opposing

Bills to help veterans? They've got nerve.)

 

Christie incited mob mentality

In "trying" Clinton with his obnoxious rant,

Blaming Hillary with his trumped up "facts"

While the crowd blabbered its Lock-Her-Up chant.

 

In a typical Ben Carson manner,

Carson found a line and crossed it

When linking Hillary with Lucifer.

That poor man has really lost it!

 

Walker's speech reminded us

Why he left the race long ago.

Rubio offered a taped address;

He wasn't even at the show.

 

When Cruz refused to endorse D.T.,

The audience flew into a rage.

And after he said, "Vote your conscience,"

They booed the smirking man off the stage.

 

Judges upholding the Constitution:

That is Mike Pence's passion--

Which means judges that interpret laws

In Mike Pence's right-wing fashion.

 

Of course, some billionaires had to speak,

And Trump's kids praised their dad.

To them he's the greatest pop in the world

And not at all a pompous cad.

 

Finally, Trump got his turn

To give his lengthy campaign address,

Making it sound as though America

Is nothing but a complete mess.

 

According to him we can't afford

Political correctness any longer.

"Buh-lieve me," he said. He'll bring

Law and order and make us stronger.

 

He's going to do everything QUICKLY.

In fact, he told us that he has ways

To solve many of America's problems

Within his first one hundred days!

 

Currying favor of evangelicals,

He told us all to start "buh-lieving"--

That politicking from the pulpit

Is a goal worth achieving.

 

The funniest line is his speech occurred

When he tried to legitimize

The whole event by saying that

At his convention there'd be no lies!

 

Needless to say, I'm happy it's over.

Obviously, I'm not a fan.

The past thirteen months have shown me

That THIS is a scary man.
