Lost in Translation

I don’t believe a politician.  There – 
A statement I can evenly apply
To any given party, ere a lie
Arises, for to guard against the bare
And simple truth of politics.  Behold:
Republicans will flock around the news
That Mitch is sticking firm unto his views
That taxes shouldn’t grow before the cold
Encompasses the Devil in his hell.
They might be disappointed, for the man
May promise more in speeches than he can
Deliver.  If the opposition fell,
He might’ve had a chance, but with a fight
Are promises abused, and set alight.
