I have lived in New Jersey for all 19 years of my life. I hate this state. I live in the northern most town in the state which is 90% conservative but that does not change my mind. In other states, people would fight to protect their state. I just do not feel the same way about my state and i think it is kind of sad. As soon as i can i am outta jersey and into PA!

Do you love your state?

Nebraska is nice because the liberals dont know where it is on the map.....

..."Who the HELL wants to live in Nebraska..." was the reaction I got when I was visiting my former neighbor back east. That is EXACTLY why I have grown to like this state... very few, if any, east or west coast liberals to turn into a NY or San Francisco... Very little incentive for them to come here...

Otherwise, decent gun laws, lots of open spaces, fine hunting, and freindly people.

The perfect "flyover" state

You beat me. I left as soon as I turned 18. I live in Texas now and am proud to be a Texan!

Win_88 Joined Oct 2004 Posts 251 EE Offline NH, USA	Posted: 3/12/2005 3:13:20 PM EST Southern NH is really begining to suck. Too many people from Taxachusettes have moved up here. They brought along their tax baggage. they want all the public BS that they had in Mass. So property taxes are going thru the roof. Some are moving to the north but not as bad. I would rather be up north.

That's true. The entire state, sans Shitcago is very conservative and pro gun. My county (Macon) voted for GWB by a 10% margin.

I doubt if Shitcago and His Royal Highness Daley will fall into Lake Michigan any time soon.

Gun people are the BEST people.

I am looking into moving options/finding an independently wealthy sponsor.

I live in Bedford, which is in Cuyohoga county. Coming from California, this is MUCH nicer, even if I'm one of those 5 Republicans. I'm laying low here for a few months until I buy a house. I'm actually looking for good counties within reasonable (1 hour) driving distance from Brecksville at the moment.

People have given me the finger for displaying anti-Kerry signs.

I pass through Bedford a couple of times a week. It's not too bad that way. I'm practically in the heart of the city in an area populated by idealistic liberals/Michael Moore fans. Good luck with the house-hunting!

Don't believe that bull. My whole family was born in Cuya. We have 10 kids who have campaign pics of GW on their wall next to the family pix. The neighborhood I grew up in had a buch of Dems in it. But guess what, 50% voted for GW!
