The Glop has always been out of touch. I remember reading their pablum in the days before the ‘94 election and they thought it would be just another pro-Dem election.

“Romney would have to move to the right in order to become a RINO.”

It’s from the Globe. Their OWS fantasies are leaking in every word they print.

Willard will do pretty good in those Rockefeller Republican states with open primaries, because of the Dems crossing over to vote for the man Obama can beat. This is a redux of how we got Dole, McCain, and why GHWB was Reagan’s VP.

Super Tuesday will be a different story.

I’m guessing, with 11 dependents you probably pay $zero Federal Income Tax. You do, of course pay SS & Medicare and State Income Tax.

Why should someone else pick up the slack just because they are single, no children and work 80 hours a week?

Flat tax is fair tax!!!

I hate that for you dude.

Moving out of NH would be a good idea. I for one am dang tired of subsidizing all these liberal states and their high property and income taxes by them being deductible.

You sound like that old Merle Haggard song, “Working Man”.

Looks like you’re going to have to grow a garden, get some chickens and put that raft of punks to work after school.

Heh.

We already have sheep, goats, chickens and a large garden. My kids do their fair share, and they’re home schooled.

We pay taxes for a school system we have no intention of using. 85% of my exorbitant property tax is for the schools.

I think what we need to do is CUT SPENDING, NOT RAISE TAXES.

What makes you think I don’t work 80 hours a week? Besides my “day job”, we run a little farm. Kids do most of the farm work, since they’re home schooled.

It’s my kids’ payroll taxes that will pay for your social security and mediscare, so be glad we had lots of them, even though we get a tax break for having them.
:)

Oh, and my kids are all conservative, from the oldest to the youngest. Home schooling helps. We’ve got two voting already. We discuss the issues often.

“But with the primary field finally set and Perry, the closest challenger”

Perry is in the low single digits, Cain is the frontrunner, whoever wrote this is an idiot.

Cain’s winning.

999 would double my taxes too, but I don’t care, because it will never pass congress anyway.

So I am supporting Cain, because frankly, I like him.

GO CAIN!

Even though I don’t like 999, I’ve been a Cain supporter for a long time. I still plan on voting for him in the NH primary.

I agree that 999, as proposed, would never make it through Congress, anyway. But I’d like to see Mr. Cain try to work out the kinks in his tax proposal. The good thing is that at least he has a proposal, though, IMHO, not an optimal one.

All Polls are rather skewed and difficult, in regards to predicting elections this far out.

In 2008, Giuliani had a very large majority of the polling momentum, as did Hillary Clinton.

In the end, it was completely different. Cain is much like Giuliani, in regards to outright short term popularity, which at this stage, is driven by mostly fanatical, political groupies, who eat, drink and sleep politics.

Give it time, especially after the money campaign starts. At this stage, it is historically favored by the most well funded and organized candidates. Given the facts, this is probably why McCain took the nomination.

Like it or not, the McCain campaign did have impeccable organization and planning. This is due to McCain's 30 years of political/election experience. Perry and Romney are the ones who will follow that trend and their funding is an indication of their solid voter support.

The media lives in an alternate reality, apparently.

I am unsure exactly what you are referring too... so I will guess that you either dont like my comment about Perry being in the single digits (9% nationally according to your own link) or (4% in the latest new hampshire poll)

or possibly, you have a problem with my claim that Cain is the frontrunner .. which again using your link you can easily see that Cain has polled 27%,30%,29% in the last 3 national polls meaning he was leading in two of those, and tied in one.

So, again I am not exactly sure what your are commenting on.

In fact at this point of the 2008 primaries campaign the McCain campaign was pronounced dead by every pundit and political commentator and it was Giuliani who was supposed to win it all because he was ahead in almost every poll.
