Need space. I’m not a townhome or McMansion guy.

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.

Point taken. But having lived in Maryland way back when Senator Joe Tydings was trying to take away our guns, the efforts of the Maryland Republican Party have always been too little, too liberal and generally too late.

As much as a hardship that it would be for conservative Americans in the P.R.M., I recommend doing what I did: GTF outta there.

Red State America beckons you my FRiend. Good Luck.

I left Ohio for Maryland for personal reasons. Also I will make more money here.

But the way I look at it, after ten years of making good money here but being politically marginalized, it may well be time to take my big bucks and high-tail it outta here if we can’t change things.

In the winter of 1991, Gov. Schaefer compared Maryland’s Eastern Shore to an outhouse (he referred to the region as a “s***house”. When the remark circulated, Eastern Shore residents were slightly pissed off. Driving around State circle with pickups with outhouses strapped in the bed.

Anyone who makes less than $8,450 a year does not have to file a tax return so, effectively, every taxpayer in the state is in the top bracket.

What a statement. God, I hate this state!

[sauropod]

ok, ok, I’m moving. ..

...just as soon as the housing market recovers.

[sauropod]

the trend throughout MD was that Ehrlich lost a lot of support (5-10% drops) in the Republican counties...

That's because he was an Effin' RINO. And an arrogant one at that.

Of course the Boy Governor is even more arrogant...

Hunting, fishing, crabbing, and the beach. What more do you need in life?

King William Donald swimming in the seal tank at the Baltimordor Aquarium?

[sauropod]

When the remark circulated, Eastern Shore residents were slightly pissed off.

SLIGHTLY?!!!

[Lil'freeper]

We were *just* discussing skipping over the border to PA. Vey seriesly even.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

And they could have had Michael Steele

Steele ran for Senate, not Governor

[sauropod]

Me too.

How long do you have to live in MD to have residency for voting in local elections ?

Could a bunch of Conservatives move in the week before the election, vote conservative, then move away again ?

Or would you have to be there long enough to get an ID with local address ? Do they even check ID when voting ? There ought to be some payback for the libs trying to block the requirement for ID.

[RockinRight]

All I had to do was have a MD driver’s license (which requires a lease and a social security card or valid out of state license IIRC) and I got one.

I was registered to vote about 3 weeks after I moved here.

[RockinRight]

Yeah, but I’d sure as hell rather have him as Governor.

[OldPossum]

Maryland voters are dumb as posts.

And why good conservatives stay in that state is a mystery to me. High tax rates is just a part of the torture of living in that state. Take a look at its gun laws, for example. They have "May Issue" concealed carry. So, theoretically one can get a permit. But just try. Unless you have pull, and I mean "real" pull, there's not a prayer for you. I know this from talking to Marylanders over the years.

But, hey, if they like high taxes, tyrannical government, and all the other virtues of a liberal state, they deserve what they get, now don't they?

“Probably not. The sheep of Maryland would vote for Joe Stalin if he was on the Democrat ticket.”

My inlaws are liberals and Jewish. In a political fight once I told them if Hitler were a democrat they would vote for him.

Boy, the ride home that night with my wife was a real hoot.

He just put his house on the market. Wants out of there so bad he calls me every morning to say so.

My parents retired last March and have put their house on the market too. They aren't getting much response.

oy!
