The Big Conservative Move

After the election, I was extremely annoyed that my vote, living in through and through Blue state, didn't make any kind of difference in the election. Where as people from Ohio and Wisconsin actually get to pick a president. Then it dawned on me, maybe I should move to a swing state. Then it hit me like a pile of bricks, what about an organized movement of conservatives living in already blue states to swing states? In my state Romney got about 1.4mil votes. Imagine if just 10%, 140k, of those votes moved to Ohio? Obama won the Ohio by 103,519 votes. Needless to say, I think conservatives that are outnumbered in blue states need to think about spreading to the swing states.

    The only problem with FSP is that, early on, they elected their area of relocation to be New Hampshire.

    Familiar with that area, I knew that New Hampshire was the absolute *worst* choice as it was surrounded by deep blue states.
    Take a look at the map of the sad kabuki theatre farce of a non-election that played on the 6th and you'll see that New Hampshire is *gone*.

    A portion of FSP, knowing that New Hampshire was a poor choice, broke off and became FSP Wyoming.
    Wyoming went fairly solid against the Marxist.
    I believe that they also just voted for state nullification of ObamugabeCare.

    IMHO, you are on the wrong track. If you look at the red-blue county voter map, you will see what I mean.

    Funny - I was shopping EBAY last night and found what I wanted at a great price. Then I noticed the seller was from Ohio. I searched again and found the same item in Utah but priced about 10% higher. I bought the item from the seller in Utah. Boy, that felt good.

    Dude, it's called the Free State Project. Except they're not conservatives; they're libertarians.

    They would love to have more members in their ranks! Google them and take a look!

    I've lived here in Ohio for most of my life, and I for one love it here. Not ALL of us from Ohio voted for the vacationer in chief.

    Maybe I'm alone in this (ha...probably not actually), but I've come to the conclusion that there's no point in trying to save the country any longer, or trying to wake up those you just plain want to stay asleep. It's time to save you and yours. That's it. I am done feeling insane about getting everybody to snap out of it. They won't. They will get what they've asked for and I will not help them when that times comes. And I can't express how happy I feel now that I've come to that realization. I am ready and prepared (or working on it quickly).....and they don't have the slightest clue what's coming their way. I am at peace, and I hope you will be too.
