It is ironic that Vermont, once a leader in the Revolutionary War effort, has become a haven for socialist dogma and just plain corrupt America-bashers like Dean, Sanders, Leahy, et al.
Why? is Vermont electing liberals. The Yankee mountain men surely are not voting for them. Do they have a lot of Mass commuters there, or what?
It's common knowlege that,in the 70's,the unwashed hippies
of Mass,NY and surrounding areas made a conscious effort to
claim VT as their own.I'll bet that there are fewer natives
living there than there are in CA,NV or FL.
