Hands down-New Jersey
Their political corruption is legendary.
Their State Police look like cheap storm troopers in an opera.
They've been the garbage dump for New York for decades.

I'm not sure which state is the armpit of America, but it is widely accepted that Johnstown, PA is the asshole of the world!

[N. Theknow]

Kalifornia.

Visiting there is like seeing an automobile accident involving a beautiful woman. Damn what a shame!

Then again, Massachusetts is just as bad, only much smaller. Perhaps it is Kalifornia Concentrate. But I hate using the word concentrate in a state with Barney Frank, Ted Kennedy, Bob Kerry, Joe Kennedy, Gary Studds.....

Minnesota. The home of Lying Paul Welfa...Wellstone and Governor Turnbuckle. We WIN!!

New Jersey

[NapaCA]

You California haters really are clueless... granted, the congested liberal pockets of this *beautiful* state produce the most vile politicians in America, but the rest of California is populated by good decent caring hard working Americans...

I grew up in Elizabeth New Jersey... and I've been *all* over the US... the Bayway section of Elizabeth NJ (exit 13 on the New Jersey Turnpike) *is* hands down *THE* most godawful place in America.

Period.

Texas, particularly Houston. A sure way to go broke would be to open a bookstore in Houston.

This is dumb debate. You have to define the criteria first to make it an objective view....

Enough whining about suck-ass places

ALASKA,,, The Great Land, Is the best State of all.

follow the big dipper to the north star, and don't look back.

New York is the arm pit. California is the ass. And Florida, well, it is obvious what Florida is.

[Schatze]

Minnesota gets my vote. It's chock-full of socialist nitwits.

[GOPcapitalist]

I vote for that smelly area of New Jersey across the river from Philadelphia, which BTW is not much better.

[FreeLibertarian]

Texas

[Deport Billary]

If there were a conservative arm pit it would likely be Mississippi. Don't get me wrong, I love the people there, but much of the state borders on 3rd world status. Especially the side along the river. It's hot, flat, and depressing.

New Jersey is the nastiest state I've ever been to. The urban centers are atrocious, the countryside isn't that pretty (aside from the hills in the northwest), and the pols are either liberal dems or worthless RINOs. The people are rude, arrogant, and foul-mouthed...and what's worse - they move here.

CA gets 2nd place because of its impact on the rest of the country. If you subtract the counties connected to the bay, along with Santa Clara and Los Angeles counties, you still have a state which only cast 51% of its votes for Bush, 48% for Gore or Nader. Beautiful scenery, high-paying jobs, but I would be miserable out there.

Any Idiot who wastes cyberspace with a disunifying american concept should be shot!

CALIFORNIA. No contest. Great weather, but the people are FU-KED UP!

Flame away California freepers. You guys maybe OK, but the majority of your neighbors are the biggest bunch of fruitcakes this side of Harry and David.

[chnsmok]

As a Washifornian (from California moved to Washington), at least California gave me the opporunity to vote for Sony Bono. Thank goodness for the east side of Washington (as opposed to the dark side). Still, to many here vote libertarian and elect people like Cantwell and Murrey.

[dalereed]

I have no idea but it has to be the one with the largest deoderant company headquartered in it.

This is a great thread! A Classic! Thanks!
