We try to bring down this bill with polemic
Before freebies become epidemic

Yet on the CBO score
We save money; they must be alchemic

The Undocumented Pres_ _ent Barack Hussein Obama
polemically has attacked Personal responsibility,
the Principle of God and Israel over Jerusalem,
the Primacy of the superlative American health system,
and all Protective shields defending the American People.

I fear we will lose this battle not because of the polemic arguments, but because of the underhandedness of that b**ch Pelosi.
