They are usually nice people, but they do bring their voting habits with them.

I’m stuck here for a while. My business and my aged parents keep me here. Otherwise, I want less snow, less tax and more godly neighbors.

They're REPUBLICANS!

Don't YOU and other posters EVER read the articles? Or do you just have a reading comprehension problem?

WHY WOULD A DEM LEAVE A STATE, WHEN A DE3M HAS BEEN RE-ELECTED GOVERNOR?

My wife and I made the same decision after we married in 1997. In 1998 we left, and every time I go back, it is a little more sad, a little more gone. Not only did Commie Red Ned win, but CT lost two very good state senators, Joe Markley of Southington (he was on the Republican ticket for Lt. Gov.) and Len Suzio of Meriden. Len worked his backside off for the district, and his opponent didn’t even do any serious door-to-door. What she had, though, was $250,000 of Planned Parenthood and other PAC money spent on her behalf.

I loved the Connecticut I grew up in. Now, I sometimes tell people I come from Krypton. My home blew up decades ago.

Yep. It really has changed a lot. We used to go there sometimes in the summer when we were kids to visit relatives, and it was a great place. Now...not so much.
FWIW, every time I see one of those license plates from there that says: “CONSTITUTION STATE” I about split a gut laughing. Of course, MA isn’t much better. It’s the home of our original freedom fight and it’s even more commie than CT. Sad...very sad.

One possible solution: Move to Rhode Island next door. 100k of them can park their vote there just like John Kerry parked his yacht. Instant red.

The decline began in earnest after we eschewed our proper title, "The Nutmeg State" and took on the "Constitution State" moniker. Bleagh!

I don't even LIKE nutmeg, but I had no problem identifying as a nutmegger.

Because these morons ARE the NE! Do you really think the NE States have ever been anything but a passel of RAT States? I mean with “repubican governors” like Romney and Fat Boy what to you think their RATs are like?

Hard to believe that Connecticut of 20 years ago had NO income tax and the Democrats screwed that up and are continuing to drive the state into the ground.

But some will

Look everywhere in the south the north and California has moved in

It’s gone purple

Especially combined with minority immigrant influx

I say that knowing good folk from Michigan Ohio New Jersey and Los Angeles who’ve moved to Nashville metro

Still you have to be honest about what it does on balance

You simply end up with more social liberals and more less enthusiastic right to work types

No way around that

They aren’t all moving for freedom

Not the Democrats, Lowell P. Weicker got back at tCT for removing him from the Senate by running for Governor under the "A Connecticut Party" banner, winning the governorship on a plurality. It was an unholy alliance between RINO/Rockefeller Republicans and pragmatic Dems.
