Rasmussen is the least reliable polling organizations. You'll find that they don't poll close to the elections so that their methodology can truly be evaluated.

A Republican tsunami is on the horizon.

Mac Mcclure, does it sound (and feel) something like the Weather Girls classic "It's Raining Men"?

It's Rasmussen. Meaning it's Rethuglican. Not credible.

^Rasmussen has been less Republican-favoring as the election has gotten closer, just like SUSA. They guestimated and applied a Republican LV surge earlier than other pollsters. You will also see Dem pollsters, particularly PPP, showing stronger numbers for Republicans now that we are in the LV stage of the race.

The State of Texas levied my private company's bank accounts over $2,000 for unlawful tax charges that were NOT due to the State.
How did they get my company's bank account numbers? By what authority were they able to do this??? They just went into my accounts and took the money without my consent, or even notification, let alone a chance to explain why these taxes are not due.
I suspect this is payback for speaking out against Rick Perry.

This document, unfortunately, is meaningless in the hands of the tyrannical, Republican majority made up of military guys and managers.
Both the military and the managers are not only disrespectful of Constitutional Rights, but they are actively taught and trained to disregard them and then cover their tracks with a variety of deceptive practices.
In short, Liberty in Texas is lost if the Republicans win.
