Good, let them enjoy their isolation in a liberal utopia.

Uh, this is nothing to be proud of, you dope..

So every idiot in the country moved to Portland?

Why am I not surprised?

Oregon has been in the economic dumps since the late 70’s. That makes it look like one of the rust belt states that have democratic trends as lots of motivated people leave for greener pastures.

"The change is the post-industrial economy," argues Professor Jim Moore of Pacific University. "High-value manufacturing requires a highly educated workforce, and they bring their politics from the college towns and big cities where they used to be."

Because Engineers are not conservative and can't do math...?

What's changed Oregon from the Republican dominance of two and three decades ago to its current oceanic blueness

That's easy: proximity to California.

[Iron Munro]

You can never expect to root out all the parasites in one pass.

[FreeReign]

Rhode Island is also a “blue island”.

And then there’s Connecticut and Vermont.

All states that are predominately made up of white people, who believe the network news and who have not yet been exposed to the hordes at the gate.

[Still Thinking]

More important, Oregon's Democratic electorate is not the same as in many states; it's one of the few places where Obama has twice won among white voters.

Many stupid people are nonetheless sufficiently functional not to advertise their stupidity. Apparently not this Oregonian.

Behold the LEFT Coast ....

[SharpRightTurn]

Did 0regonlive.com forget (cough, cough) to mention that voters in Oregon overwhelmingly rejected a law passed in 2013 that would grant driver’s license cards to illegal aliens, defeating it by a landslide of 68% of voters in favor of vetoing S.B 833, with only 32% in support of the law, despite the pro-illegal side outspending the anti-illegal side about 10-1?

[Interesting Times]

Not coincidentally, Oregon has voting by mail.

Vote fraud needs to be at the top of the GOP "to do" list, along with reversing illegal immigration.

If you would like more information about what's happening in Oregon, please FReepmail me.

I lost my Oregon list when my computer crashed recently, so please send me your name by FReepmail if you want to be on this list.

Oregonians are 98 percent stoned leftists.

Welcome to Oregon!!

[BenLurkin]

Stayed “blue” because it is full of Pinkos.

[Political Junkie Too]

So, Oregon spent over $300 million on their Obamacare website that they eventually shut down as a total failure this year, and yet the people still sent the Democrats back?

Okaaaaaay...

Oregon is a beautiful state from coast to the east side of the state. They are very environmentally conscious and as a visitor....have to say I enjoy their hospitality and wide open spaces.

When I retire I will probably retire in southern Oregon along the coast. As far south as I can get w/o being in California.

BUT...that assumes that Oregon doesn’t tank and begin over taxing every freaking thing like they do in California. Right now the cost of living in Oregon is less or comparable to Western Washington state (where I currently live).

I can’t imagine that Oregon is any more hippy dippy than WA state. I would stay in WA...but I’ve got to get to a place that has less gray days. It’s not even about the rain...it’s about the grayness in the sky for weeks on end that just wears a soul down.

There’s a glaring big blue ‘island’ here in Minnesota. I’d gladly ship all of the idiots here in MN to Oregon. We’d have an 0bola quarantine of sorts.

[ohioman]

Oregon is the new USSR with Portland as Moscow.

[smokingfrog]

Maybe they should consider secession.
