A Compelling Case (Shirley Hemphill for President) lyrics by The Tommy Lasorda Experience

A lot of people believe that if you don’t vote
You have no right to complain
I think it’s just the opposite
Anyone who does vote just validates the existence
Of the choices available in a broken system
Namely, two political parties who serve corporate interests first
And are about as fundamentally different as two brands of breakfast cereal on the shelf
So, I don’t vote, which makes this all theoretical еxercize

We keep choosing thе same jackass over and over to live in the White House
I believe if we analyze the components of the Presidential mistakes
That we’ve made in the past, perhaps we can learn from them
The following is my endorsement, based on four criteria

Number 1 – Gender
Every President so far has been male
I don’t think it’s been working, do you?
Not a single female in modern times has ever started a war
Other than Margaret Thatcher
And having never seen her vagina, I stick her in the „maybe” column

Number 2 – Race
Every President so far has been white. ‘Nuff said
So, we could try a black or hispanic President maybe
Lets go with a black President – they’ve been here longer
And I’d hate for a Hispanic president have to address the undocumented
Plus I’m half-Hispanic so I don’t want any charges of favoritism

Number 3 – Wild card – Weight
Hitler was thin-to-average
Both Bushes were of average weight
Woodrow Wilson was thin
Bin Laden was very thin
They were all horrible
Let’s go with a plus-size person

Number 4 – Life Status
Every single atrocity in the history of mankind has been committed by a living person
How about a President who isn’t living?
I’ve never read the Constitution but I bet
It never specifies that the President has to be alive

With my criteria complete
I believe that the best choice for this country heavyset, black woman who is deceased
As such, I am proud to support Shirley Hemphill from What’s Happening
And I hope some of you will get involved in my new grassroots campaign

After all, who’s gonna tell this country that their cheeseburger ain’t got no cheese on it?
Some politician?

Please
