Heck .. last year ACORN came in an registered college students who do NOT live in VA, no way they should have been allowed to vote here. They aren’t residents any way you look at it. But register and vote they did.
At the time, California was a hot spot and North Dakota was shedding population, so we got a great rate. How times have changed!
Driving U-Hauls and rental cars from undesirable to desirable cities has been an economical way for college students to travel for decades!
Uh...yeah. We’re ‘gettin it’ from both ends, too.
Swell.
Is there a vaccine against liberalism and leftist stupidity yet? Loooong overdue.
A couple hundred thou, all expenses paid, and an occaisonal bonus of 1.4 mil.
Ironic, isn't it? They leave their liberal hellholes and move to a conservative refuge, and then proceed to bring their old, liberal proclivities into the ballot box, thereby contributing to the process that ultimately converts the new place into another liberal cesspool.
It would have been interesting to see the data sorted and ranked according to the state government’s ruling political party.
When I moved to Forth Worth it was cheaper to drive the truck to Oklahoman just across the boarder and fly back to Dallas,
“The problem is that those fleeing the crime, corruption, and high taxes in Detroit et al bring it to thei destination states. They do not understand they are fleeing the attitudes that created the cess pits from which they flê. They get to Texas and think it is so much better there but Texas just needs better welfare and more services. Then they vote.”
Exactly, I pity the states that are getting folks with the southeastern michigan union attitude. IMO, it’s the worst part about michigan, of the many things that are wrong. I’m not anti-union. There are union shops in other parts of the state that are outstanding to work with.
You are mistaken. Your comparison of government workers to the Walton heirs is absurd.
While it is true that top talent can make more money in the private sector, very few are top talent. Government employees enjoy above market compensation for all but top talent. You need to include all compensation, especially health care and retirement benefits. The comparison does not even consider the far superior job security in the public sector. Have you ever seen a federal government salary decrease? In this economy, job security is highly valued. In most areas, government will not have any trouble hiring.
The disconnect in the ‘minds’ of those people makes me absolutely crazy! And it happens over and over and over again. I expect VA to elect an R gov again this year, but no thanks to the transplants.
The governor said if she got reelected she would “blow us away” with her leadership....she just blew us up more than we were before....I don’t know why anyone in this state would vote democrat.....we suffer for their stupidity....
Over the last 12 years, Massachusetts,
on net, lost 79,031 people to the other New
England states.
The majority of that loss is to New Hampshire, to
which 78,201 former Massachusetts residents, on net,
fled between 1990 and 2002. The fact that Massachusetts
is losing people to New Hampshire is not new,
although the size of the loss has been increasing over
the last five years.
