And at this point, polls mean very little, since they are based mostly on early name recognition and are mostly participated in by political extremists who live and breath politics.
Polls are only valid in the last week of the election season. This early, they are all wishful thinking and nothing more.
Amen to the cuts in taxes and spending.
I’m also glad to hear you’re raising kids who will have a connection to the land and know where their food comes from. Furthermore, I don’t have the disposition to homeschool but respect those who do immensely. I’m in about the same boat on the property taxes since our kids attend a private, Christian-based academy. About the only benefit I get from local taxation is grading the dirt road that goes by our little farm.
I don’t believe 9-9-9 will hurt anyone all that badly except for the free riders who need some skin in the game. Moving to a low tax state would be a good move for you, although I realize the inconveniences that can impose from personal experience.
Hey, at least you already have a moving crew! LOL
Good luck with all that.
And the concerted effort to extricate Perry from the race continues imprudently.
>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.<
There is a huge difference between Giuliani and Cain. Rudy is a liberal republican. Cain most certainly is not. The conservative base rejected Rudy, as they will reject Romney. Cain is gaining support from conservatives. He scares the liberal press and the establishment republicans, but has many loyal supporters among the so-called broken glass republicans.
Do not count Herman Cain out. He’s no Rudy Giuliani.
I’ll be voting for Cain, anyway. I don’t see anybody better, nor do I think any of them has a chance to beat the descendent of Mahometan African slave traders that currently occupies the White House.

We have to grade and plow our own road. It’s “class VI”, which means the town does not maintain it. We’ve had to repair two total washouts in recent years.

NH does not have sales tax, nor income tax. As bad as our property taxes are, at least they are not compounded by other taxes. I’ve done the math, and we are better off in NH tax-wise than in any state other than Alaska.
I have thought of moving to Brazil, however. Yeah, they’re communist, but they don’t enforce like they do here. People are much more live-and-let-live there than they are here. This country is filled with lunatic, meddling busybodies who just won’t leave you alone.
If the U.S. ever goes full-out commie, and we are on the precipice of that, then living here will be like living in a giant gulag.
Hmm, thanks for correcting me.
Still, it seems pretty obvious that the press loves RINOs....until after the nomination.
