I believe the technical term for that is “slant rhyme”.

Maybe our FReeper English teachers can confirm.

That's what they called it back in grammar school. Liberty and please. Close enough. Liberties and engleeeeesh? That's called tortured rhyme.

This couple had the guts to put out there what 90% of Americans agree with and all you and others can do is comment on the rhyme. Maybe their not English scholars or perfect poets but they have said what most of us agree with and have taken a lot of grief for doing it. I bet you got the message even though it wasn’t delivered with perfection. Instead of being so critical of the little things maybe we should cut them some slack and thank them for bringing to the forefront a very important issue in this country.

My money says the folks here who are critical of what they have to say could come no where near being able to put something like this together. They never really listened to the message, they just want to show their lack of maturity by spouting off about something trivial.
