"Liberty migrants" in NH won a few seats in yesterday's election. What do others think?

1. The New Hampshire lower house...

...is the second-largest parliamentary body in the English-speaking world. Each member represents about 6500 people, IIRC. Under those circumstances that some nuts take over is inevitable.

Thirty years ago I knew a girl in college who ran for, won a seat in and served in the NH legislature. She did it as a poli-sci project -- and the panel gave her only 6 credit hours for the whole experience.

6. Hmmmmm

I've lived most of my life in NH (I'm in college in MD now) and I didn't know this.

2. I've also read that both houses of the NH legislatures went repub

How saddening

3. weren't the phones down for the Dems?

8. Sure were

4. Libertarians... makes me laugh.

9. Same here

They are very disillusioned.

5. Tea Baggers by any name

They are all tax dodgers

All they want is something for nothing...

New Hampshire screws the sick and the kids' education to make sure no taxes are paid.

So disgustingly "lbertarian" !

7. They are very similar

But they are their own specific group.

And NH's schools don't suck, only because the property taxes are huge.
