Republican '08 races unfold
Most voters in I-o-wa have already been polled
For straw ballot glory, the candidates chase
Speaking pap at a non-debate
Phony clichés, regurgitate
To take Dubya's place

I get no kick from McCain
Only Ron Paul fascinates me at all --
Votes "No" on Iraq in '02 [1]
Sam Brownback? Too far-Right askew

Thompson, and Thompson again
Tommy and Fred are too much for my head
He's an actor and Senator, too
Or Governor? Don't know who's who

I'm getting sick ev'ry time I see:
Mitt Romney on abortions;
Tancredo dissing on Mi-am-i; [2]
Or R. Giuliani's divortions

I don't trust Mike Huckabee
Hope, Arkansas must breed flouters of law
Because Bill Clinton hails from there, too [3]
I think one's enough; how 'bout you?


[1] Only '08 Republican candidate to have voted against the 2002 Iraq War Resolution.

[2] "On November 28, 2006, Tancredo was quoted in several news sources as referring to the city of Miami, Florida as a "Third World country". With an average home price of USD 371,000.00? And forget about an oceanfront condo....

[3] Shouldn't there be a law against any given town excreting more than one President on the country?
