It should be pointed out that conservatism doesn't equate to an increase in Republican voter registration. In fact, Democrats have a very strong advantage over Republicans in this area.

Interesting rant you have there. It is hussein obama that buddies up to communist. It is liberals that have proven themselves to be the racist time after time. You elected a man that is the usual liberal whiner that refuses to take personal responsibility (blame it on Bush), suffers from foot in mouth disease, insults and attacks the citizens, rapes all the tax dollars and sends them to foreign countries, openly lies, administrtion of criminals and eugenists and the list goes on.

Having a far left liberal in the white house has waken to people up and they are fleeing from the diseaster of liberalism.

So they'll be following a more Libertarian bent? Live Free or Die, right?

That's been my mantra for a long time as far as the federal government goes....keep your hands off my wallet, keep your nose out of my business, and make sure the country is defended and secure. Those three things are all I want/need from the feds.

Political Ideology: "Conservative" Label Prevails in the South

Quote:
Conservatives outnumber liberals by statistically significant margins in 47 of the 50 states, with the two groups statistically tied in Hawaii, Vermont, and Massachusetts.
Conservatives outnumber liberals in all 50 states.

I guess that's why obama's radical, liberal agenda is going down in flames.

That's right, see something you don't like just throw a bunch of silly crap at it labeling it racist.

NH has a regressive tax system meaning that we have insanely high property taxes, but lack an income or sales tax. Therefore, most people have to be fiscally conservative when it comes to local town spending because it directly impacts property taxes because everything is derived of them. I like to call it a high degree of community involvement or hyperlocalism. This is often a good thing in my opinion.
