Live Verse by Ellen Griffith: THIS AIN'T JIMMY STEWART'S CONGRESS
http://ellen-liveverse.blogspot.com/2012/12/this-aint-jimmy-stewarts-congress.html
Sunday, November 9, 2014. THIS AIN'T JIMMY STEWART'S CONGRESS. Mr Smith goes to Washington. What does he find? On a grandiose scale. Voters sent him to get stuff done,. Like Frank Capra's old fairy tale. Smith will be hog-tied,. By obstructionist trolls and jerks,. Whose bitter distain for We the People,. Compells them to gum up the works. So the senator takes up arms,. In a partisan brawl of accusers,. While Americans watch with a cynical eye,. Knowing that we'll be the losers. Posted by Ellen Griffith.

Live Verse by Ellen Griffith: MAKERS vs TAKERS
http://ellen-liveverse.blogspot.com/2013/01/makers-vs-takers.html
Wednesday, February 25, 2015. Longer hours and shorter pay,. And we take it, take it, take it,. Shorter fuse and a longer day,. And we take it, take it, take it,. Shorten the leash and they yank, yank, yank,. Stretch us on the rack, and they crank, crank, crank. And the wealth flows up to the precious few,. Who take it, take it, take it to the bank.

Live Verse by Ellen Griffith: GUN FIGHT
http://ellen-liveverse.blogspot.com/2012/07/trigger-happy.html
Wednesday, April 3, 2013. Is happiness really a warm gun? With a shooter, sane or insane? When the law’s nonchalant about gun sales,. And the victims too dead to complain? Welcome to Hostage America,. Where we never learned our lesson,. To buy more stock in solutions,. And less in Smith and Wesson. This is the NRA's rodeo,. Just ask your congressman why,. When the NRA tells him to jump,. The fun is which way and how high. Is happiness really a warm gun? The NRA wants us ALL armed! Posted by Ellen Griffith.

Live Verse by Ellen Griffith: SINKING THE SHIP OF STATE
http://ellen-liveverse.blogspot.com/2013/02/sinking-ship-of-state.html
Tuesday, February 19, 2013. SINKING THE SHIP OF STATE. Republicans claimed to be fiscal saints,. After eight years of Bush’s red-inking! In '08 they hand off the ship of state,. Just as the old tub is sinking. Captain Obama called hands on deck,. Cause the Dow did a big belly-flop,. Republicans stood in their fiscal puddle,. And never would go get a mop. We're now in the Straits of Obstruction,. Where compromise seems to have drowned,. Will they scuttle our whole damn. Ship of State,. What is Live Verse?

http://ellen-liveverse.blogspot.com/2011/07/that-global-warming-hoax.html
Monday, February 18, 2013. THAT CLIMATE CHANGE HOAX. Last summer the red states were sizzling,. Like a hunk of red meat on the fire,. Temperatures hotter than ever before,. Predicted to go even higher. They knew it was not global warming,. They've always known that was a fraud. They're pretty sure science is liberal,. So that means the numbers are flawed. Well, let's get it straight.it's climate change! That's causing this stranglehold,. And there will be floods like Noa's Ark,. How could it get that hot?

Live Verse by Ellen Griffith: GOVERNMENT-ENFORCED MOTHERHOOD
http://ellen-liveverse.blogspot.com/2012/02/government-enforced-motherhood.html
Tuesday, July 9, 2013. To ban abortion AND contraception,. That's the GOP's goal,. With all the Viagra that's out there? But that's how Republicans roll. It's totalitarian motherhood,. With peeping-tom government probes,. To snoop into every live uterus,. But hell hath no fury like women betrayed,. By bully-boy GOP hacks,. Cause now we know where government goes,. When they get it off of our backs. Posted by Ellen Griffith. View my complete profile. What is Live Verse? I have original songs on YouTube.

Live Verse by Ellen Griffith: SWEATSHOP DEMOCRACY
http://ellen-liveverse.blogspot.com/2015/02/sweatshop-democracy.html
Tuesday, March 10, 2015. Democracy feels like a giant rock. That I push up a steep, steep hill. I DO work hard and play by the rules,. But I’m pushing…pushing, still. This rock gets harder and harder to push,. It’ll flatten me, now, if I stop,. And a happy group of well-off folks,. Is laughing at me from the top. A lifetime of pushing this rock up this hill,. With never a bit of slack,. And now I find out, those folks at the top…. Those bastards have been pushing back! Posted by Ellen Griffith.

Live Verse by Ellen Griffith: THOSE CRANKY CONSERVATIVES
http://ellen-liveverse.blogspot.com/2011/08/scorched-earth-republicans.html
Friday, June 29, 2012. Remember, they didn’t trust women to vote,. They fought it for 50 grim years. They cried and wailed about child-labor laws,. Dollar signs mixed with their tears. They so hated Social Security,. They cast a unanimous nay,. It offends their values when old folks are paid,. To be useless and just in the way. Their sinister scheme to starve the government,. Hurts we the people. That’s us! While we foot the bill for congressional pay,. They’re plotting to blow up our bus!

Live Verse by Ellen Griffith: THEY STILL DON'T GET IT
http://ellen-liveverse.blogspot.com/2013/01/event-of-year.html
Monday, March 18, 2013. THEY STILL DON'T GET IT. Republicans thought they were gold,. They sold their souls for a win,. They told some magnificent lies,. Spun all that crazy-ass spin. They scapegoated all minorities,. Threatened the working poor,. Fearmongered every democrat,. That usually worked before. They deliberately offended gays,. Called climate scientists crazy,. Carpet bombed poor Planned Parenthood,. And called the out-of-work lazy. Insulted a whole lot of women,. Picked on our teachers again,.
