The Nation appears to have made a Faustian selection in 2008. Nov 6 2012 can’t arrive soon enough.

As Obama beholds the White House he’s in
He must think of his bargain, so Faustian
The left’s calculation:
Destroy our great nation
How did he become Freedom’s custodian?

I am once again a Broken Glass Republican.......willing to crawl across broken glass to be able to vote for anyone but Obama. Although I would feel as if I were the one engaged in a faustian bargain if that lever says Romney.

Faustian.
A song about a carton character, Faustian the Snowman. Frozen Dude terrorizes the hood til a cousin uses a flamethrower on him and smokes him. Nothing left but a spit of water.

The Nation appears to have made a Faustian selection in 2008. Nov 6 2012 can’t arrive soon enough. Could that not also be phrased: “The Nation appears to have made a Faustian selection in 2008. Nov 6 2012 can’t arrive Fastian enough”?
