An Ode To Mitt Romney

From The New Civil Rights Movement:

You pursued a cutthroat game plan, 
In your brutal Primary fight. 
Wherever your opponent stood, 
You scurried to his right. 
You thought you’d shake the Etch- a-Sketch, 
And start again anew. 
And that’s why we’re not inaugurating you. 

When a soldier in Afghanistan, 
Asked if you had your say, 
Would you reinstate Don’t Ask Don’t Tell? 
And told you he was gay. 
You stood there without speaking, 
When the crowd began to boo. 
And that’s why we’re not inaugurating you. 

You didn’t speak when Sandra Fluke, 
Was called a “slut” by Rush. 
You were silent when your party, 
Tried to take our votes from us. 
You said nothing when Todd Akin, 
Claimed that not all rapes are true. 
And that’s why we’re not inaugurating you....
