Bush & Company

What do Republicans hate and fear (besides Barack Obama)? Democrats, Socialists, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, not to mention Hillary and Bill; even more, Sarah Palin, who almost certainly has the hubris and pretension to run for president.

Although through over-exposure, her popularity may dwindle, they foresee a split in their party if nominated. If in the unlikely happenstance she should win, all of us will be in very deep trouble.

Most dreaded in their lexicon,
The "D" word is the bugaboo;
But dreaded is the "S" word, too,
And makes the Tan Man turn quite wan.

Then there's Reid and Pelosi, who
Are certainly not on a par
With swiftly rising tea bag star
Ms. Palin, more frightening by far.

Competitors will have a fit
When agonizing millions spent
Could make Ms. Sarah president---
No Gingrich, Huckabee or Mitt?

Their party permanently split?
As each exultant Democrat
Is betting she's toss in her hat,
In the belief that to compete

With our Barack would mean defeat,
Which surely must be true, although,

In politics, you never know. . .
