MAKE ‘EM BLEED! <\/p>\n

The distraction faction is working hard,
\nBoy, just watch them digging up the dirt,
\nBoth parties so busy looking for rumors,
\nThey want to make their opponents hurt.<\/p>\n

It does not matter if what’s said isn’t true,
\nAs long as people believe, well it is okay,
\nYou gotta make them look the very worst,
\nSo they will really flop come election day.<\/p>\n

That’s my boy! Just go dig up some mud,
\nAnd throw it right in your opponent’s face,
\nRip them apart and just make them bleed,
\nSo they can’t possibly ever take first place.<\/p>\n

There is just no time for trying to play nice,
\nYou\u2019ve worked so hard to make it this far,
\nSo don’t be a wimp, take off those gloves,
\nShow that bozo that you are one true star.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
