Of course, in political terms, those areas are worlds apart..not just two hours driving.

Maryland isn't the worst, but it's close.

I received notice of this hearing via my GOP newsletter, but I already had obligations I couldn't change.

Its plenty bad enough. I would rather we drop off that list of 'worst' altogether, not compete, instead, for first place. But that's just me.

Since Im only going to be in this God forsaken liberal minority loving hell hole for another 7.25 years, let them do what they want.
Once I leave there will be no more concern with anything here.
I have given up on this state, All I am willing to fight for here is to make sure that the filthy wetbacks dont get any services paid for by my tax dollar, I will sign every pettition that stops anything for them, right on down to that last morsal of food.
Let them starve in the streets. At least we can feed the vultures, and they are here legally.
