Bushy

Original Composition: 21 June 2007


I am a Republican,
A Ronald Reagan Republican,
am I.

And now,
would I, could I,
be a Republican?

Yes, I said,
a Republican am I.

And yet, and yet,
When George Bush is a Republican
What am I?

I am not a Bush.
No not a Bush,
not I.

Not today, not tomorrow, not any day.
Not here, not there, not anywhere.

Not with a son,
Not with a daughter,
Not with a sister, and
Not with a brother.
Not with a nephew, and
Not even with a niece.
Not with a cousin,
No Sir,
Not with a dozen.

I am not a Bush.
Not a Bush am I.

Not today, not tomorrow, not any day.
Not here, not there, not anywhere.

A Bush, not ever, not never again.

So what am I?
A Ronald Reagan Republican,
Am I.

The Bush family sought to keep Reagan out in 80. The last years of Reagan's administration were used by Bush loyalists to lay the groundwork for Bush and dismantle the Reagan legacy and replace it with some ill advised multinational one world mythology.

We coulda had Kemp, or Forbes and any number of others who world view wasn't formed in some multinational blueblooded legacy enhanced east coast country club.

Resumes and fund raising are no substitute for an understanding of principles that conservative America actually understands and embraces.

Reagan got it. The Bushes, and the Clintons, never will.
