Bush under fire over terror alert
President Bush has come under fire for his handling of the domestic war on terror after a warning of a possible al-Qaeda attack in the US.

O/
A sleazy political trick
From the master of the sick
Generating more fear
Translate to votes right here
Republicans of old
Use this hoary trick
Make Americans scared
It is truly sick
If you make them scared enough
They will vote for the hard
Thats the winning ticket
That's the winning card
Make them sick with fear
Make them anxious too
Make them vote this way
Then theyll vote for YOU!
Such an old old trick
But this is a desperate time
We cant win on our record
So its time to use the slime
To paraphrase a saying
Alls fair in love, war and politic
But this latest lie is easily seen
As crass, sleazy and awful sick
Just like they did before
Post 9/11 they used it to the max
Get them so scared
The sheep move in a pack
Now we need a distraction
Away from news so bad
Get the people worried
Then we wont look so sad
As November gets closer
We will see this more and more
Scare stories to gain your votes
Their morality hits the floor
Now you see this corrupt band
Liars and deceivers all
They cant win honestly
And make this slimy call
Do you see them now so clear?
Have you got the message yet
Our leaders are all liars
Remove them - or regret
Such a mess theyve made of this
From the beginning to the end
The world is MUCH more dangerous
And America without a friend

| I'm suprised more people haven't turned this around on Bush and said: Hey....um....why is Al Queda 18,000 strong after fighting them for 3 years? Could it have something to do with the fact that you saved all of the troops for Saddam? The next person who asks if anyone remembers how it felt on 9/11 should be asking that question to Bush. |
