I'm just an old conservative crank
Who last night saw Sean step on his shank.
Whoever set the polling rules
Had Sean's side pegged as silly fools.
Text messaging as the way to vote?
Hey, Mick, you just fall off the boat?
How many conservatives, just like me,
Couldn’t vote tonight, can’t you see?

Alan Colmes and his seditious team
Just gave old Sean the royal ream.
Ron Paul leads the Republican pool?
Sean, liberals made you look the fool.
Next time think the process through,
So libs can't give your poll the skew.
Don’t let text-messaging Kossie nerds
Beat your butt in this war of words.

I’ve wondered Sean if you’re a first team starter;
You have the fire, but I wish you were smarter.

Finally those of us with just a cell phone have been given a chance to have our voices heard. These national Gallup and Rasmussen polls can only call those numbers that are home phones. Thus the many many people who no longer waste our money on home phones and only have a cell phone for our main line do not get included in the Gallup polls.

You think you got screwed because this one poll didn't allow for folks with no cell phones? That's exactly how we feel when we see another Gallup poll showing Ron Paul at a mere 4%.

Someone who has consistently upheld the Constitution should not be swept under the rug in exchange for a bunch of flip floppers.

Not liberals, my friend. Libertarians. I wouldn't ever cast a vote for a socialist. You can take comfort in the fact that lots of people will flock to the Republican Party this year because of Dr. Paul. The Goldwater-esque views of Ron Paul have a lot of appeal to those who view the other candidates as myopic warmongers intent on building an American empire at the people's expense. His analysis of the reasoning of the 9/11 terrorists is right on the money, supported by Bin Laden's stated reasons (published in 1996) AND the 9/11 Commission Report. Every other time a terrorist act is committed, we accept the stated reasoning from the group claiming reponsibility. After all, they commit these crimes for a reason, however twisted it might be. Giuliani means well, but he's letting emotion cloud his judgement.
