"Problem with liberal Easterners moving out to places like New Mexico and Texas is they want to do just like the Mexican border jumpers.
Instead of adapting to the state and their surroundings they want to change it to what they had back East and that includes the same old leftists politics."
I moved from New Jersey to Houston Texas in 1988, primarily to get out of New Jersey. "I wasn't born here, but I got here as soon as I could". Later Houston waent downhill - whiney, sensitive, I moved to get away from the northeasterners.
Well now I'm in Minnesocold, near the Twin Cities, especially toxic liberal Moonbatapolis. If I don't like Moonbatapolis, I would NOT like California.
Designer Chick, consider Texas. If the Houston area, you would find more conservatives in the west part (outside Beltway 8). If the Austin area, live in Williamson County. I don't know about the Dallas area much.
