Freedom Caucus Like the Mouse That Roared Is Threatening to Torpedo Debt Deal and McCarthy's Spreakership

 

Looks like it may be time to put the corks back in the bottles of champagne
From the Freedom Caucus not a word of praise only vociferous complains
Not enough cuts in spending, not enough spending for defense,
In the Senate Lindsay Graham on need for more military is taking great offense
Unless the Freedom Caucus comes to it senses and does not dig in its heels
We stand a great chance of torpedoing this heavily negotiated deal
McCarthy’s Speakership already on a slender reed with slim majority votes
The Freedom Caucus may well as we then default his chair revoke
Unless enough Blues come to his aid and vote to the bill pass
An obituary for the Red Tide in 2022 last gasp
The Squad and the Freedom Caucus are like tails wagging the dogs
Mired in forever minority status in their noncompromising bogs
Freedom is just another word when you run out of money to pay your debts
Freedom Caucus must focus on taking the Senate and W.H. or we must them forget
