Sorry - but it’s a zero sum gain. My wife and I moved out of MD last year, so that was a loss of 2 conservatives.
Maryland has both kinds. The ones in PG and the city of Baltimore are the uneducated welfare types, and the ones in Montgomery and Howard are the PhD/low-end limosine liberals. It is frustrating. I live in Howard County and while it’s not totally hopeless, we are outnumbered here.
Not everyone got “what they deserved”. The split of the vote was essentially 50-50 and My son and his wife certainly did what they could to elect the republican. They don’t deserve this but pervasiveness of the rat party in MD makes it hard to put the right people into office.
The S**thouse part of the state holds all Slim’s relatives. They didn’t vote for these clowns.
BINGO, liberals should be taxed seperately as they support redistribution of wealth, conservatives do not!! A-h’s
I used to say that California would be great, if it weren't for all the Californians. I feel much the same about Maryland. ;-)
Carroll County has a lot of good locations for houses, but expensive. Figure on $300K+ for an average 3BR home. Might find something cheaper if you don’t mind being on top of your neighbors in the old village part of Westminster.

Yes , I posted the vote count above and I don’t deserve this either. HC was Republican 10 years ago. The 50 % that vote democrat in HC include many, many, highly educated, highly paid federal beneficiaries who don’t have a clue how their paycheck is generated by the real taxpayers..
Re: “Unfortunately many of them use turbo tax and don't even know what triggers the AMT. No, Idiots!!”
Unfortunately true and yet they see themselves as the ‘me too’ elites that convinced themselves that they and John Kerry (another clueless elite) are superior to the ordinary blue state voter.
Come on over to Anne Arundel, it is not as bad over here. There are more voting Republicans than Democrats. I like to think of it as the bastion between the beltways.
After reading the thread about the excessivly high speeding ticket fines in Virginia, I think that Montgomery, P.G., St. Mary’s, the Disctric of Columbia, and the two or three most liberal Northern Virginia counties should form a state. Virginia would go back to a solid Republican state. The DC hell hole state would be horrible, but Maryland would be alot more reasonable without Montgomery and P.G. counties. It might even be midly Republican. The Eastern Shore, Western Maryland, Anne Arundel, Calvert, Harford, and Carroll might be able to overpower Baltimore city.
If RockinRight is a new Maryland citizen they might not understand your reference. I like to think of it as the best part of the state. Hunting, fishing, crabbing, and the beach. What more do you need in life?
It was a great place to grow up. My family’s been there for about 75 years before the Bridge.
Sounds like a lot of my neighbors. They got theirs, and now have the luxury to be as feel-good liberal as they want. And by feel-good, I mean all of their political views are based on feelings, what's trendy, and what sounds sophisticated.
I got into a discussion with one about terrorism. He cavalierly dismissed it as a product of religion, citing the abortion clinic bombing of years ago. I talked with him for a few minutes about the theological basis for Islamic warfare, and how it contrasts with Christianity. Especially Salafist doctrine, which permits any personal violation of the Koran, including lying, rape, and mass murder, in order to promote the spread of Islam. He blinked at me, perplexed, and almost as a "Didn't you get the right memo?" reminder, added that Christians "do it too."
This from a highly paid expert in his field who I readily admit is a very intelligent guy. It's like once the subject of current events comes up, the brain goes off, and what's cool and hip to say takes over.
Cheers,

Sounds like someone I know. Might even be the same guy, Hippie retread, works for the gov't?

What part of the state is that?
Keep in mind my job is in Pikesville so regardless I’ll need to be reasonably close to that area.
