cassandracarolina just held a fun post contest with her post GOP Insanity Driving You Nuts? Chill Out with our Indigo Kalliope Political Limerick Challenge!! Check it to see to see your Kossacks at work.
I contributed, but found I couldn't stop thinking about it. There's only so much psychosis one can fit into five lines, so I expended my entry into the following multi-verse foray. I enjoyed writing it; hope you enjoy reading it.
The Song of Wrongs
In light of strange current events, the prospect of satire presents, which I hope will comport with the norms of a court and accepted rules of evidence.
Together we'll take up the question of whether the right wing's suggestion that blatant classicism means patriotism should cause, at the least, indigestion.
Republicans, down and exiled, for Obama, a slander compiled: "He's a mullah who's callin' both Hitler and Stalin! Plus he's foreign, thus should be reviled."
Jury note: I suggest misdirection, and that, since the '08 election, they just haven't seen fit to come out and admit that their real beef is with his complexion.
That said, I will give them some credit. There's policies, too, they would edit. Heath care for a child, is blasphemous, wild! as their savior, Ayn Rand, might have said it.

Still, the right had momentum there, brother. With the Democrats calling for mother. Their guns, locked and loaded, with power exploded unfortunately, aimed at each other
The establishment's anticipation trumped caution and consideration that a prize so darn tempting would cause some preempting by nutjobs who seek nomination.
Michele Bachmann, at first had, the limelight, then Perry the Texan (not too bright), Cain dropped his pants which gave Gingrich a chance But Santorum's the one Romney must fight.
(Ron Paul, the eternal outlier, still tries to sell his desire to mass privatize and pot legalize so while you get screwed, you get higher.)
In every debate and each forum They throw out all sense of decorum each the other outdoing with venomous spewing till Joe Public says "just ignore 'em."
Obama, meanwhile, stands aloof. A smart man, and there's the proof It seems that he read What Napoleon said: "Don't ever interrupt your foe's goof."
So to sum up, the right tried to muster all who could blather and bluster But, friends in the jury just review sound and fury and you'll find its a fuck a la cluster.
