He's currently first in the Fox poll - but they don't believe it!!

[Melchior]

I'm not convinced of that. If he slides back to the middle of the pack I'll be absolutely convinced that Fox rigged it.

So if Ron is ahead he's ahead, and if he's behind the poll is rigged? That isn't a rational mindset.

If they were going to rig the poll Ron wouldn't be ahead in the first place.

 

[RylScam]

Did he really say that? I must have missed it.

Yeah, Hannity just ignored everything Ron tried to say and kept harping on what he wanted to say.

It was right at the end of the interview

So if Ron is ahead he's ahead, and if he's behind the poll is rigged? That isn't a rational mindset.

If they were going to rig the poll Ron wouldn't be ahead in the first place.

They wouldn't rig it. Just disavow their own poll and never mention it again.

 

[Melchior]

They wouldn't rig it. Just disavow their own poll and never mention it again.

That makes more sense.

 

[Scribbler de Stebbing]

Have they announced the final results of the poll? I don't see it online, but may have to look harder.

 

[MsDoodahs]

Didn't they have that poll open for a limited time?

 

[JoshLowry]

Didn't they have that poll open for a limited time?

Yes, til 12:30 ET.

 

[Scribbler de Stebbing]

Right. Until 12:30 eastern. I'd guess the janitor's emptying it from the trash bin right about now. I've got to get to bed. Guess I'll have to find out in the morning.

With more than 40,000 votes submitted via text message, 29 percent said former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney made the best showing of all 10 GOP presidential hopefuls who made their cases to the American people at the University of South Carolina's Koger Center for the Arts in Columbia, S.C.

Texas Rep. Ron Paul, who ignited controversy at the debate with remarks that U.S. policy had invited the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, came in second with 25 percent. Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who strongly admonished Paul for his comments, came in third place with 19 percent. Arizona Sen. John McCain, who is the frontrunner in South Carolina polls, came in sixth with 5 percent.

Hannity was laughable when he argued with Congressman Paul by stating the Constitution doesn't say anything about declaring war. What a buffoon. Notice how now that the neocons cant win an argument, they resort to the same tactics as the extreme left: shout down your opponent. Priceless.
