The Northeastern libs flee Massachusetts at the first available opportunity because they don’t like the high taxes.
Vast numbers of Conservatives have left my state of Massachusetts as well. I’ve met many of them, I know quite a few of them. One family member is gone and two more will be joining him in two years time. All three are Conservative.
Just a couple years ago the Massachusetts Republican Party learned that 35,000 REGISTERED party members had left the state. No telling the exact number of people who have left who identified themselves as members of the GOP.
These people continue to vote for the right.
I and the fam went to the 9/12 Tea Party in D.C. this year. There were some people handing out fliers that urged conservatives to move to New Hampshire. Had info on the taxes and so on. Basically, they were working hard to get reinforcements up there.
It was an interesting concept and an interesting proposition.
As for conservatives leaving Mass., yes, I hadn’t thought of that twist on the trend. And, yes, they will continue to vote conservative, so that’s a good thing. Plus, having experienced a taste of socialism, they’ll be good advocates against it in their new state.
