Families relocating from Massachusetts to New Hampshire are slowly changing its lifestyle
http://www.boston.com/ ^ | March 20, 2008 | Tom Long

Posted on 03/21/2008 7:15:46 PM PDT by lowbridge

A recent study conducted by the University of New Hampshire confirms what curmudgeons in these parts have been complaining about for a long time: The Granite State may be turning into a suburb of Boston. more stories like thisThe report, "The Changing Faces of New Hampshire: Recent Demographic Trends in the Granite State," released last month by the Carsey Institute at the University of New Hampshire, indicates that nearly 25 percent of New Hampshire residents were born in Massachusetts, and Internal Revenue Service data indicate that the largest source of new migrants to New Hampshire is Greater Boston. According to the report, 57 percent of the current population of New Hampshire were born outside the state. The national average is about 40 percent.

You can have ‘em! Four more years. We are outta heeyah!
NH better wake up and smell the Voter fraud in “same day Shaheen registration”. John McCain wouldn’t have been on the political map without it.
Massholes take their evil with them.

Liberals, having fouled their nest, move away to foul their new nest too. But wait! Liberals: If liberalism were good - for you, for your community, for your state, wouldn’t you want to stay in those places where you hold a large majority and therefore a lock on political power?

It IS the spreading of a loathsome disease. New York has infected Vermont, and Boston is infecting N.H. and Maine. (Portland is well on the way to becoming a New England San Franfreako.)

You’d think that the state motto: “Live Free or Die”, would turn off all those Massholes.

Yep, it’s official. We’re now a suburb of the People’s Republic of Cambridge.

Omens and signs of impending doom:

* The Old Man of the Mountain collapsed in 2003.

* NH legislature went blue in 2006.

* NH will be getting its first Whole Foods Market - 55,000 sq. ft. - in one of those trendy “lifestyle” retail centers. Who needs farm stands! /s

The omen was the first Home Depot. You didn't need to be a prophet to see the handwriting on the wall then.

I lived in SoCal 76-89. So true!
Easterners are generally A**holes period.
There are 500 some brave souls from MA who belong to Free Republic and are Conservative, other than that we cannot open our mouths and survive!
My extended family loves to enjoy my Republican hospitality as we are generous people but they HATE our politics.

Like most liberals, they come back for the food, the drinks, and the ambience. They are all for free, but we have a giant Library of Conservative books prominently displayed and we have no shame in tweaking them all with our views. We even put National Review on display in the porcelain library.

We enjoy torturing these twits, Can’t wait til Easter!!
Always threaten to crush their cars with my gas guzzling SUV.
Gonna buy a bigger one soon!
It’s the only way to have fun in Masshole-achusetts!

Just like liberals from Western Pennsylvania are doing a number on Central Ohio. My county is full of PA refugees who have helped turn it from Red to Blue.

I have been a frequent visitor (from N.J.) to the Granite State since the mid-1990s. I started noticing this sad phenomenon some years ago, and it has been depressing watching it creep slowly northward in the state.

Man, you would, wouldn’t you? I still remember my first encounter with New Hampshire in late 69 and on and off through the 70s - what a wonderful place it was. It really hurts to see it destoyed this way.

“New Hampshire needs to build a fence!”

Too late. We should have done that long ago. Now every booger eating Masshole is in the lower portion of the state.
It has become a suburb of Boston. Our two Rep. congressmen lost to two extreme leftist in 2006. Now our last two Rep. senators are about to become extinct with this and the next election.

Just a few more years here and I hopefully will have enough $$$ to move to south-west Wyoming where I can shoot my 50 BMG off my back deck into the mountains.

So then I guess you need to change it to: Massholes go home!

Whatever you do, please don't send them west. It's bad enough I live between Illinois and Ohio, and Michigan to the north.. Indiana is being overrun with liberal nanny state scum.

Yeah. Massholes alright. Jerkoffs up in NH don’t mind coming down here to work though.

They jumped the shark a long time ago. They are just as liberal up there as Massachusetts now.

Good on them.

I left in 1991. The war was lost then, and it's worse now. When I left the fags didn't have their crap being shoved down the throats of people in Lexington. And Roche Bros. was still a business that didn't try to offend its customers by kowtowing to homos.

I feel sorry for those who are stuck in the People's Republic.

By the by, as much as I think Mitt should be McCain’s running mate .. he’s also a Main Street Republican. Google it. Mc Queeq, the Soros owned puppet is at the top of that gang.

Well neighbors, we are here. Even if it isn't apparent. We tend to stay to ourselves pretty much, going out and socializing with close friends and family, or shopping only when we have to. The atmosphere is so toxic, we have to to survive! Not ready for retirement, so here we stay, safe and warm in our CONSERVATIVE home! LOL

Do you notice if you must go out, very few people smile, never mind act friendly. You can always tell who the conservatives are, they are much more friendly, and seem to find you. Most People act afraid to open their mouths for fear of offending someone. Like I said, toxic!

Gidge... you know I am witchoo.. too bad we live on opposite ends of the State.. I just had a couple of life long Demon voters here complaining about how much their new
privately owned small business. Property taxes, payroll taxes, loser employees etc..
I told them to quit whining and suck it up. It’s hard to run your own small business as my hubby and I well know.
The last thing I said was that we would turn them into a Couple of Republicans shortly.
What a Classic! They were more Horrified by that than the prospect of selling their home!

I’ll take any cannon out there. Just as long as I don’t have to worry about backstops and burms. I figure the mountains would be good for that.

I just need more than 300yrds which is the best my club has for a range.

Yeah I know Bass was an “Ass”, but at least he could be counted on for a pro-2nd Amendment vote (the most important issue all Americans should be concerned with).

Yes, Sor-ass has McQueeg in the bag via that political org. that McQueeg set up in 2000.

Rush is on 3 radios per day so I can hear him all over the house! I send all my Demoncrat friends scathing e mails of FR articles proving how dumb they are. Each time I see them all, I am introduced to their friends as “a rabid right wing Republican”. It’s hillarious.
Hubby and I can be quite charming when we want and that’s usually when we turn on the wattage... the Dimwits just stand there looking dumbfounded.

I sure hope we can get Oganowski in and be rid of Kerry!! There are a lot of residents in my tiny town who are Republican. Most do not put out yard signs so you don't know.

I had a tag sale a couple years back, and during it there was a can and bottle drive for the local school. A father was driving the kids around in his pick up, and happened to see my Bush/Cheney yard signs, still in the garage. He said to me “Thank God, ..........at least YOU have the right yard signs!”
