I don't see how 20,000 people can change the politics of an entire state. Even a small state. And, given that only 4,500 people have signed up for the effort, and, given that a large percentage of these will fail to follow through with the plan, I'd say that this effort is a total joke.

‘Live Free or Die.’ It’s part of life here, it’s on our license plate, and it means something," he said.

Yes, it means, "I made sure I had the government's permission before utilizing the roads."

Oh, you meant the slogan.

Members of the group would likely settle across the state since they will not be required to live in any particular region.

Thereby demonstrating once again that Libertarians have no grasp of practical politics. This is elementary stuff -- like having enough people in a state congressional district to actually elect somebody.

I did like this, though: This practice, he said, "would allow us to have direct access to the Statehouse. We could run people who are Libertarians and they could also get the Republican nomination and pick up Republican voters and, of course, the same thing could be done with Democrats."

This is straight out of the Lyndon LaRouche playbook. Pretend to be an R (or D) long enough to grab their votes. Pretty cowardly, but a tacit admission that even in NH they're unlikely to elect Libertarian Party candidates.

Heroin addicts line up in New Hampshire's free drug clinics to exercise their inalienable rights to an early death, slavery to vice, and the pursuit of unneeded suffering. Libertarians are expected to flock to this small state for the pleasure of living non-judgmentally next to perverts, deviants, and the personally-irresponsible.

Ha! These pioneers will get nowhere in New Hampshire. It takes a minimum of 50 years of residence for the family to be accepted in the community, and even then only the children who grow up there will be accepted. The immigrants never will be. They can incorporate a town of their own, of course, maybe buy a farm in Contookuk and have a commune blast.

New Hampshire is a great state, and there is something fitting about the rebirth of liberty being in New England.

Two points - first, demographics.

NH is now loaded with Massholes.

Second point - the inevitable tendendy of any group of 10 libertarians to form 20 opinions on any given issue, and the high likelihood that at least 30% will bolt in disgust over the statist tendencies of the dominant group.
