Twas The Night Before The Elections

I think that it's pretty safe to say that we are ready for November 5th!

I am so tired of all the political banter back and forth between the two parties.  Someone told me something the other day that just clicked light a lightbulb in my head.  Regardless of who becomes our next President, God will still be God, and He will still be in control. 

So you and I will still be the same people on November 5th as we are today.  After a short time most of the political talk will subside and we can all move onto other important issues in our lives.  You remember your own life, don't you?

With that said, I'll leave you with this poetic play on "Twas the Night Before Christmas".  It's quite amusing.  For the life of me I cannot find who the original author is, but I found it on The New Conservatives.

Twas The Night Before The Elections
    
    
    'Twas the night before elections
    And all through the town
    Tempers were flaring
    Emotions all up and down!
   
    I, in my bathrobe
    With a cat in my lap
    Had cut off the TV
    Tired of political crap.
   
    When all of a sudden
    There arose such a noise
    I peered out of my window
    Saw Obama and his boys
   
    They had come for my wallet
    They wanted my pay
    To give to the others
    Who had not worked a day!
   
    He snatched up my money
    And quick as a wink
    Jumped back on his bandwagon
    As I gagged from the stink
   
    He then rallied his henchmen
    Who were pulling his cart
    I could tell they were out
    To tear my country apart!
   
    'On Fannie, on Freddie,
    On Biden and Ayers!
    On Acorn, On Pelosi'
    He screamed at the pairs!
   
    They took off for his cause
    And as he flew out of sight
    I heard him laugh at the nation
    Who wouldn't stand up and fight!
   
    So I leave you to think
    On this one final note-
    IF YOU DONT WANT SOCIALISM
    GET OUT AND VOTE!!!!

Make sure you get out and vote on November 4th!!
