[NYC Republican]

22 years in NYC, 10 of them in Manhattan, I reached my breaking point- sold my co-op, bought a house. Tough move, as I LOVE the city, and work downtown.... Just couldn't tske the people. Thanks

Somewhat off topic, but I've been in Vegas the past few days, and driven all aeound LV, Lake Mead, St. George Utah, Zion Park, etc. I have not seen a SINGLE Bush/Cheney sign or bumper sticker... I've seen a ton of Skerry and Matheson (Dem running for Gov in Utah).

Between St. George and Zion Park, I literally counted 24 Skerry signs, NO Bush signs, 18 Matheson signs, and 8 signs for Huntsman (GOP gov candidate).... Alao, Skerry, and NOT 527s, is running an ad claiming Bush has a secret plan to privatize and raid SS. What a lying scumbag

What gives? Any thoughts? I feel like I'm in NYC- at least there, in the burbs, there are Bush signs

You Know NYCR?


Back in 80 when I first got a place there I was 22 and sort of a libertarian-moderate-conservative who hunted and liked guns and had old fashioned ideas about women.

After a half dozen cocktail parties and being around Columbia and Barnard and NYU faculty and grad students and always being on the defensive about being a mere Southerner, I became pretty much what I am today.....a knuckledragger.

I got on well with Israelis and local Italians and Irish but the intelligentsia and literati made me hostile and resentful....I remember Andrea Dworkin at 72nd and Broadway with her table set up railing about men and then the Tawana Brawley garbage....and so forth.

Now....I get angry here just being in the Vandy neighborhood with the same crap.

NYC is the center of the human beehive universe but they can have it. Great place when you are young though.
