(Musical introduction)
1.
There will soon be an election, so here's the truth again,
John F. sKerry will take your freedom,
He will bring back the death tax, in the cities and the plain,
John F. sKerry will take your freedom.
(CHORUS)
For John sKerry's lying, we know that is true,
Flip flopping like, a rubber beach shoe,
So let's not elect the lie, here's the truth to go by,
John F. sKerry will take your freedom.
(Musical interlude)
2.
We will govern in the mode, of the Clintons come before,
John F. sKerry will take your freedom,
And he'll be grabbing your guns, and be raising taxes more,

Really? And here I was thinking the Democrat had kicked some ass (forgive the pun). Maybe it's just me ...
Kerry won't take our freedom: Bush already accomplished this with the Patriot Act. The death tax is only a big deal to rich families like Bush's. If Kerry governs like the Clintons, does that mean that he will bring us 10 years of unprecedented economic growth? Our soldiers have given Iraq freedom, but it's too bad that this freedom doesn't entail any order whatsoever. And lastly... I hope this truth you speak of doesn't imply that what Bush has done to our international image is a "true" representation of the American people. If it is, then we're in deep shit....
hey, i hate bush, too, but if you don't good for you. Great use of freedom of speech.
Coral Snake, this is a very well-crafted parody which clearly expresses your feelings and views! Very well-done, it gets 5's from me. And to prove that I'm an open-minded judge of parodies, I happen to be planning to vote for John sKerry. But that doesn't stop me from appreciating a good parody like this! Also, even though I plan to vote for him, that hasn't stopped me from making fun of him in my own parodies..."Kerry":

Coral Snake, if you cut-and-paste the URL I gave for "Kerry" into your browser, you may find a bogus " - " hyphen-character showing up between the "and" and "the" in this part of the URL: "andthe". You'll need to manually-delete the "-" from "and-the" so it looks like "andthe" to get that URL to work correctly. This is because of something Chucky put in the comment-software awhile back.
Kerry won't take anybody's freedom. Not even Bush's. In fact, he may have to pardon Bush for his crimes.
You've had too much kool-aid. Actually, Kerry will restore the Bill of Rights and, hopefully, get rid of the Second Amendment. Hey, here's an idea - let's give the Iraqi's our Second Amendment rights in exchange for getting back our First Amendment rights. Oh, so sorry that another part of the unconstitutional Patriot Act was shot down last week.
Um... I'm gonna have to break with the crowd here... The 2nd Amendment is a good thing. I would seriously doubt that Kerry, an avid hunter, would get rid of the 2nd Amendment. Besides, doing that would be the quickest way to ensure that you wouldn't get re-elected.
"So let's not elect the lie, here's the truth to go by,/John F. sKerry will take your freedom." ???
"Elect the lie"? The biggest truth of that statement, I suppose, would come from all the lies that have circulated about Kerry since he became candidate...

Macphisto has a point, but I quote the other Senator Kerr(e)y, Bob of Nebraska, who actually lost his lower leg in Vietnam: "Men once hunted me using weapons like this AK-47. But you don't need an AK-47 to hunt birds."
