If Southern states don’t watch the future benefits of their government employees, they will be in the same boat (regardless of who is voting for it). Here in NJ current services are cut to the bone to pay government employees who retired twenty years ago (and the future payments for current employees are much worse). We live with a crumbling infrastructure and crappy services because of benefits/services (if you could even call them that) enjoyed by residents decades ago.

Somebody should warn those liberals about moving to red states.

Something along the line of...

“Don’t move to a red state. Your neighbor will be a gun-toting freak, possibly a member of the KKK, and who hates liberals and will throw your mama off a cliff, and will take away your social security and your welfare and your housing subsidy, and will be watching your every step with hidden cameras, and will be burning a huge amount of fossil fuels with their huge gas-guzzling big trucks and SUVs, which will cause your lungs to collapse and kill you. Those rednecks don’t believe in science and will kill all plants and animals with their global warming causing fossil-fuels. Stay away if you know what’s good for you. You’ve been warned!”.

Make an effort to tell liberals they’d be happier in big ugly broken cities where liberal ideas have already destroyed the place... And NOT with conservatives.

Its something like city dwellers moving to the country, then bitching incessantly about combines hogging the roads, rural odors, the people talk too slow, etc. Then go home!

They would, but their last house was next to an airport where they b*tched about the noise.

As Mark Levin says - they are like a horde of locusts - they will take their liberal ideas and agenda to red states and ruin them. Then they will move on to the next. Liberalism is a mental disorder.

How so very true!

Witness the following infestations:

California ==>Oregon/Washington/Idaho/New Mexico/Colorado

New York/NJ/Mass ==>Florida/SC/NC

Illinois ==>Iowa

Maryland/NY ==>Virginnia

Here in NJ Christie did a good job with the property tax increase cap; teachers are furious that like us little people (that pay them), they’re now going to be contributing to their health insurance costs. They are a short-sighted group of parasites; at least Christie understands that with current trends (the mass exodus of American taxpayers and companies streaming out of NJ) there will soon be nobody left to pay for anything.

Moore might have to move to another state himself to try to dodge the collection agencies.

“Meanwhile the leading exodus states of the continental states in percentage terms were: Alaska...”

Did an editor read this sentence?

No, they are just going to infect the Red States with their politics.

I didn’t think of that. But what if the people who are leaving blue states are conservative, like myself?

Don’t come here to Arizona Blue-Staters, you’ll hate it. Did I mention the 150 degree days, house-burying sandstorms, foot long flying scorpions and giant Gila Monsters that swallow children and Chihuahuas whole?

"Isn't it wonderful since we moved to Florida (Colorado, New Hampshire, etc) and we got away from all the crime and high taxes and bureaucrats everywhere you turn?"
"Yes, dear it is, even the weather is better!"
"All they need here is some more services..."

Then they vote.
