We had some good discussion in the Boston Globe story on this .

"suspect that fewer and fewer people want to call Massachusetts home not because of its oppressive winters but because of its oppressive and demoralizing political culture."

And where do they go? They come to MAINE. They come here and vote for every social program that comes up. Liberals have completely destroyed Maine. No Busisness in their right mind would come here. Maine is just short of having a breathing tax because of these transplanted Mass socialists. (note the tone of frustration and anger?)

I wish the expats didn't come to my state. The ones I've uh, met, defend the Kennedy culture to the hilt and say it's only for the lower cost of living that they came South. Then, disgruntled with us rednecks and our slower way of doing things, they head back north.

Massholes, these people.

I think we've seen the last of Dem Presidential standard bearers from the Bay State. It will be a looooong time before the dems go down that road again.

Move those electoral votes to the solid red South!

MA: The only state with a sorrier pair of Sinators than NJ.

They don't call it Tax-a-chusetts for nothing. Watch for the same phenomenon in New York. Limbaugh predicted that Florida will have more electoral votes than New York within ten years.

I thinks Massachusetts would be a great state for all the gays to live in.

Great way for the Commonwealth to boost its population via reproduction. /sarc

I beg to differ, my state of West Virginia gives Mass a run for its money: We have to live with Byrd and Rockefeller.

[angelsonmyside]

Instead of spending so much rebuilding New Orleans, perhaps the displaced residence if LA should be move there.

[alarm rider]

Oh yeah? I'll see you NJ and raise you Maryland.

My wife and I actually did a little research and found that Austin Texas has similar wages to Mass(slightly lower), much cheaper housing, less taxes, lower gas prices, and has a lower unemployment rate.

We are sitting up here freezing and really thinking about taking a trip down there to case it out.

[conservative barking moonbat]

All the rapist's and well to do pedophiles are moving to Vermont.

[Ed_in_NJ]

Funny, how many of us feel the same!

[wvobiwan]

Oh come on, MD's Senators aren't even close to the moonbats in Mass., WV, and NJ. At least Hoyer was very against immediate troop withdrawal.

[wvobiwan]

You should know - Austin Texas (Capital of TX) is the one Texas city with an overwhelming liberal presence...

"In which local officials have been known to heatedly object to opening town meetings with the Pledge of Allegiance."

I would hate to live in a state where they were afraid of the Pledge of Allegiance.

[HEY4QDEMS]

My Wife and me would count as two votes against them.

[demkicker]

My Wife and me would count as two votes against them.

Well, hurry up and come on down then! And if you've got conservative friends, bring them too!
