What Makes Idaho So Sensible? What Are They Drinking?

A friend of mine from a previous life has been lobbying me to move to Idaho before TSHTF. If I could only afford to retire, I'd take him up on it. But I'm gainfully employed now and need the income.

Next, he sends me a transcript of Idaho Primary Election Results to prove even the lowest vote candidate in most GOP primaries still gets more votes than all total votes in the Democrat primary. How can a state so big and so geographically dispersed have such uncommonly common sense?

You must have been reading the C.J.Box novel, "Blue Heaven"

Nope....more factual information.

Thanks for the Idaho ping. I missed the thread yesterday whilst out feeding Bambi to the wolves. It's a hobby.

I love living here. There is a tendency for certain resort areas to become Aspen-ified - Coeur d'Alene and Sandpoint in the north and it's been that way in Sun Valley for years. Overall, though, it's still quite conservative in the classic sense of "we like it the way it is," as certain newcomers have been told in uncomfortably frank terms.

Anyone who is contemplating coming here had better be ready for the self-sufficiencies required of country life, because there isn't much in the way of cities and much of the available work is agrarian. There is often one road in and out and sometimes the county gets around to plowing it right away and sometimes not. I have to drive 12 miles to get to the nearest Starbucks. Twelve miles. Think of it...

How did Bambi taste?

The young ones are the tender ones, although Fish and Game tends to look askance on dappled deerskin...the wolves, though, they don’t seem to mind...

......Ha ha....nothing better than living in a county without cell service, banks, stoplights, convenience stores, 1 gas station open at night or interstate highway. Can count the number of paved roads on 1 hand. Idaho is a bad place for liberals or liberal ideas. OMG...no 4G......

*****sounds like you live close to heaven, lucky you :O)***

Kansas used to be about that way. The last 20 years, western Kansas has been converting to “buffalo commons” (devoid of voters other than 47%ers), and the libs are taking over the eastern larger cities and university towns.
