You said — I think it is incredibly significant at this point to even have 25% in what was prolly a tainted poll.

You might as well look at a poll like this as a “gripe session”... LOL...

People gripe, but when if it were ever a ballot issue, you would never get anywhere near those numbers...

It’s like people griping online, too (just like here...) — you hear a lot of it, but when it comes down to who is doing something — nothing happens.

A good example of that would be — if people think taxes are outrageous, then one very simple thing to do would be for all conservatives to stop paying their taxes, right now — all at once. And as soon as we got different elected representatives, we would pay our taxes again.

Do you think that would ever happen (although you would get a large number who would “say” they would do it... LOL....) — nope, it wouldn’t happen, although it would be very effective...

I disagree completely.

First off, conservatives know very well that liberals run the polling companies, and it is a known and documented fact that when polled, some conservatives hide their real views and adjust their answers to conform more to what the liberal pollers “approve of”, in order to avoid ridicule or derision. Therefore the 25% figure is lower than the real number who would consider secession.

Plus, in normal times, the number who would even consider secession from the Union would and should be less than 3%, prolly less than 1%. The fact that it is so high is a testament to the outrageous and widely understood unconstitional, reckless, and dangerous behaviors of the administration and congress critters.

This is major news, no matter that you try to spin it as commonplace griping and complaining. And you can be sure the Libs in power privately have noted and considered it as such.
