Eight is Enough


Eight is Enough

Everyone laughed,
I turned to Stephen
quizzically,
a man about my age
looked at me and
commented I wasn’t old
enough to remember the TV series.
All I know is that Eight is Enough!
Eight years of Bush policies
is enough for all of us,
even for the never-voted-for-a-Democrat
witnesses who showed up tonight,
“Let me tell you what happened to me”
following the rules, working hard,
caring for families, and discovering
that when they needed a little help
getting through a rough patch in life,
the ones that happen to everyone,
whether Democrat or Republican,
black or white, Muslim or Christian,
there was no outstretched hand.
Family Values and Compassionate Conservatism
meant in reality “You’re on your Own”.
Eight is enough.
Let us not forget
the hard lessons we learned
these eight years
and not make the same
mistake again.
Vote Obama November 4th.
