I am not defending Maryland at all (in fact I unfortunately live in it) but NEW JERSEY isn’t much better. New Jersey.... really?!! Just a thought.
NJ is definitely as corrupt as they come, but the fact they had enough sense to hire Christie and approve of his work has at least (temporarily) moved them onto my electoral purgatory list.
I will admit - I am a little biased here. The reason I have 2 leftist senators from my state (VA) is directly because of spillover from the socialist enclaves of DC and MD. They vote for democrats who siphon their wallets to the point they can’t afford to live there, settle in my state and vote for the same crooks who falsely portray themselves as “moderates” in order to get elected. Then, they vote with Obama down the line. Very frustrating.
I myself escaped PG in the 70's to Colorado (and never looked back). Unfortunately, we're being overrun with California & Upper-Midwest Democrats, who after laying waste to their own states are now doing the same to us.
