I'm running out of states I want to set foot in....

Seriously, I've lived in a few states around the country, I live next to Red states, I can't figure
out how to get back to Jersey for my cousin's daughter's wedding in May without having to spend
money in these awful states that are run by the Rethugs!

I can't get out of New Mexico (which is being "Texanized" as we speak)...without hitting every crap state, regardless of whether I drive or fly, or go the northern or southern route.

I've had "dreams" of picking up something to eat, asking how they voted, and then refusing a tip.

That's how disgusted I am with my so-called "fellow countrymen/women." It's exactly the way I feel toward my brother's family...
he married a religious nutjob and for the last 30 years my mom and I have been cut out of the family.

We even have removed them from our wills.....it's gotten that bad. We talk in impersonal ways, and I've never seen such
"Christian cruelty" in my life. They are COLD people....my brother doesn't give a damn about his 92+ mother, total indifference, just
asked how much money he would get (He'll get some through another trust...the rest my mother yanked and left to me and the dogs).

I'm feeling damned bitter. Couldn't stand watching Matthews and Rachael for more than two seconds...even they make me want to throw up...as if things are normal?????

I'm honestly, finally beginning to hate this country. It should split apart...it is not even a GOOD country anymore...

Not just the stupid voters, but the lily-livered Democrats who can't even put together
a unifying message.....
And Obama has been no help...I never wanted him to begin with, and he has been so
flaccid...
I don't give a shit about that "angry black man" fear....you have to be a man and act like
a strong person...

DISGUSTED beyond words...

has invaded NM bigtime now. Martinez and the "Education" secretary straight from the
Bushies....

The Democrats put NO MONEY in to the gov. race...King was outspent at least 7:1, and funded it nearly all by himself.
WHAT A DISGRACE, this has been a blue or swing state and it's going down the tubes in front of my eyes.

Where do I move next???? I need dry weather and clean air....unfortunately, Mexico, a mere 45 miles away, is a mess and unsafe...

UGH!

Let me know. I live in a senior mobile home park. It's nice and quiet. PM me if interested. I'm pretty sure Gov Jerry Brown will win. It's not Hollywood, but it's home. We have Medical, saner gun laws, legal medical Marijuana, snap programs.

Around her there are no mobile home parks so no clue but it looked affordable and better weather
And she wants to move for personal reasons too.

deal with a lot of traitors. I don't trust anyone...they look nice,
but below the surface, they are creepy.

Seriously, I feel I'm among zombies more and more lately.
I feel like I'M being a phony every time I talk to someone...I sense
how crappy people are...
