I remember well the "no new taxes" fib. I dropped the GOP/RNC game in 83' as I feared that the Ronaldo Ray-Gun(ZAAAAP!) administration was going to debt $pend the purchasing power of our fed reserve notes into oblivion. Both the Bushwhacker terms were a bitter disappointment(taxation/patriot act) for me. America needs to dump the DNC/RNC corporation$ & go to strictly with independent candidates that possess a working knowledge of the American constituencies federal Constitution & BoR, & will stand firm by the previous mentioned. Our Lp was a fully functional political party with good intentions(the highway to hell is paved with good intentions!) but eventually became diluted with a ever more social liberal ideology(we were infiltrated by the statist left) instead of Classical Liberals(Ron Paul/Tom Jefferson).I registered as a Libertarian and voted that way when HW Bush said, "no new taxes", and then proceeding to raise taxes. So, I voted for Bednarik and Browne for some years after that. I am all about person freedom and liberty and getting the government out of our lives.
I had pulled out of our Lp in 2013, a few years before the "Free Town/Grafton" disaster became public knowledge(see below link). Unlike the folks described in the link below(hippie mentality?) smaller farmsteads(60 acres or less) out here where I reside are experienced farmers that maintenance our acreage(a LOT of work). We do work together(survival) & are a community, it's just a spaced out community due to the tillable acreage between human dwellings.
ENJOY the below links, like when I first found out about the Free Town/Grafton fiasco I was laughing my azz off!
