"Voters moving here from MA voting to make NH the same as the state they left . . . It's like someone burning down their house, moving into a new one, and playing with matches!"

BINGO!!!

Peterborough NH was once a retirement town for well-to-do folks from Massachusetts, and one I have known for half a century. I disagree with the man from Lee, a town that had no where to go but up. Peterborough is but a shabby shadow of its former self.

Like Yankees moving down South and telling us we should do things like they do up North.

About twenty years ago I spent a lot of time in New Hampshire on business. I clearly remember one of the residents of a rural community in the central part of the state asking me if I was one of those "valley people".

It was obvious that "yes" would _not_ have been a good answer.

:-)

So the divide between the South and the rest of the state has been there a while--but apparently it is getting worse.

New Hampshire has gone the way of Vermont... overrun by liberals.

Looking at the county map from the 2004 presidential election, it was the southern counties of NH which went for Bush. The northern parts of the state went for Kerry.

Blurring the borders: Southern NH becoming more like Massachusetts
and most aren't happy about it.

Well, I'm short on time so I just used "search" and can't find
the one word needed in this article/thread:

MASSHOLES

There it is.
Like the title of Neil Boortz's latest book: "sombody has to say it".

This thread dutifully filed under the keyword for Northeastern
“compassionate liberals” migrants (trying to escape their own extortionary
tax rates in their home hives):

KEYWORD: MASSHOLES

The increase of Socialists from MA, other states and countries is by design. These people don’t just decide to move here because they want to “make a difference”, they move here because they belong to organizations which are extreme left, view their mission as a take over the state. One of these groups is “Citizens for Smart Growth” put your town’s name in front of “citizens” and you may recognize it. Do a Google search on the organization.

There is only one way to defeat these scums, run for office and at the same time expose them for what they are..Communists.

Having just moved here after coming to visit, regularly, for the past 17 years, I can tell you that this is unfortuantely very true (I’ve had family here for much longer than that.) The only thing is, this has been noticeable for far longer than just recently (and much longer than I’ve been here.) Still, it beats the hell out of living in Los Angeles!

ISTR New Hampshire is the destination if the “Free State” movement.

[NewJerseyJoe]

I first started noticing this about 7-8 years ago, on my trips to New Hampshire. It has gotten a little worse each time I’ve gone back. I’m hoping enough Granite Staters with the old-time values remain, to repel the Mass. lib invaders and teach the values to their children.
