Video: 92-year-old WWII Veteran Recites, "Wherefore Art Thou Mitt Romney-O?"

by: lowkell

This is awesome, courtesy of 92 year-old former North Dakota District Judge and WWII veteran, Ralph Maxwell. With the deluge of slime pouring across our TV screens by Karl Rove, Sheldon Adelson, and the Koch brothers -- all trying to buy our democracy and promote their favored corporate puppet, Willard "Mitt" Romney - it's more important than ever to turn off those voices and instead listen to someone like Ralph Maxwell. This video truly needs to "go viral," ASAP!

P.S. The full text is on the "flip."

WHEREFORE ART THOU, MITT ROMNEY?

By Ralph Maxwell

O, Romney-O, Romney-O, Wherefore art thou, Mitt Romney?
You flip-flop here, you flip-flop there,
You flip-flop almost ev'rywhere.
You ballyhoo what you're gonna do
And then you pull a switcheroo;
You now malign what you found fine;
Seems like you've got a jellyfish spine.
Obamacare, by you begun,
Now you'd trash it on day one.
Gun control you did extol,
But now you're preaching decontrol.

O, Romney-O, Romney-O, Wherefore art thou, Mitt Romney?
We've got no clue what you will do
Or what new view you'll pander to.
Time was you championed women's choice,
But you no longer heed their voice;
On gay rights, too, guess you withdrew
Support they once enjoyed from you.
Global warming, EPA,
Immigration, minimum pay,
Roe V. Wade, also fair trade,
All joined your flip-flop cavalcade.

O, Romney-O, Romney-O Wherefore art thou, Mitt Romney?
So many things that you were for
You've turned against and slammed the door.
Stimulus and cap and trade,
Education, foreign aid,
Campaign reform, tarp rescues, too,
All victims of your switcheroo.
You take your stand on shifting sand,
We never know where you will land;
You vacillate, you fabricate,
A wishy-washy candidate.

O, Romney-O, Romney-O, Wherefore art thou Mitt Romney?
As gov'nor you let taxes rise,
Now ev'ry tax you demonize.
You say regardless of the facts
You'd take an axe to the millionaire's tax;
You'd feed the greed of the richest few
The poor and middle class you'd screw.
Your tax returns you hide from view
What evil lurks there we've no clue;
If they're not bad why hesitate?
Is it that they incriminate?

O, Romney-O, Romney-O, Wherefore art thou Mitt Romney?
At Bain you plundered with a flair
And walked away a zillionaire.
You shipped off-shore, good jobs galore
To China, India, Singapore;
A job creator you are not.
And to boast you are is tommyrot.
As a total fraud, Mitt's got no peer;
What we must do is crystal clear:
Let's give Obama four more years!
Yes, it's Obama - four more years!
FOUR MORE YEARS!
FOUR MORE YEARS!
FOUR MORE YEARS!

I just posted this to my FB page but I am unsure how effective it will be. In recent weeks I have linked many diaries from BV on my page but as is becoming obvious there are far more people than I would have suspected who are being swayed by the Karl Rove/Fox News spin machine. The number of shallow minded people in this country is terrifying. Today in a reply on FB to a diary I posted my sister let it be known she still has doubts about the president's citizenship.  

So far, the polling isn't showing that. (0.00 / 0)
The latest from Nate Silver still has Obama at 300 electoral votes and a 70% chance of winning the election, basically the same as it's been for weeks now. But, no doubt, the Rethugs are deluging the country with a tsunami of slime, lies, distortions, you name it, and we need to fight back in every way possible. That includes forwarding this video around on Facebook and other social media. Thanks.

Thanks (0.00 / 0)
Those kind of polling numbers are indeed encouraging.

Also, the Gallup tracker, which has consistently (4.00 / 1)
had Obama lower and Romney higher than any other pollster (not counting Rasmussen, which is just a Republican propaganda outfit), currently has Obama at a 47%-47% approval rating. That's about what it's been for the past 3 years, well before all this slimepit advertising started up.

Mr. Maxwell's effort is touching. (0.00 / 0)
It's too bad his video couldn't be played at the upcoming convention for all to see. Even at 92 he is still serving his country, trying to make it better for his eleven grandchildren.

Great idea! (0.00 / 0)
Not only should the video be played, but Mr. Maxwell should be invited to speak at the Dem Convention!
