In the 2000 presidential campaign, Mr. Nader contended that the Republican and Democratic parties were so similar it would make little difference whether Mr. Bush or Mr. Gore were elected.   –New York Times

You thought your kid might be assigned
To decent schools. Now, never mind.
Because Bush judges tipped the court,
All integration plans abort.
Take comfort hearing Ralph proclaim:
The major parties are the same.

You’re worried sick about Iraq–
The war devised by Bush’s claque.
Your son is there, and you believe
That he may die ’cause Bush won’t leave.
Take comfort hearing Ralph proclaim:
The major parties are the same.
