West Maryland?

...He no longer wants to be part of the Maryland associated with Prince Georges County, Baltimore City and Montgomery County. Being a Republican, he's miserable. The Democrats control the Maryland General Assembly, hold all statewide offices and, he says, gerrymandered legislative and Congressional districts. The state has only one Republican member of Congress, Andy Harris.

"The entire state is controlled basically by three jurisdictions," Strzelczyk said. "That's not representative government. ... We don't think this government can be fixed."

The solution? Form your own state.

I guess that's easier than a voter registration drive.

Strzelczyk's group believes the people of Western Maryland are fed up with Democratic dominance and they want Garrett, Allegany, Washington, Frederick and Carroll counties to break away and form a new state, perhaps called West Maryland...

Eastern Shore Maryland is also rural and conservative and feels the same way. The West Maryland folks should team up with them and they'd have 80% of the state (geographically) potentially wanting to split from the liberal pocket in the middle.

This will obviously go nowhere, but it's fun to watch. The gerrymandering in Maryland is particularly obscene, as has been pointed out many times by Andy and 89.

Eastern Washington conks would love to do the same. There were also newspaper articles from my youth proposing the formation of the state of Washidmo.

From the United States, yes.

You have no loyalty to your state?

There's a movement in NE Colorado, SW Nebraska and Western Kansas to secede and form their own state.

There's ANOTHER movement in Northern California and Soutern Oregon to secede and form THEIR own state....

The rural areas of liberal states are getting fed up with getting liberal politics being shoved down their throats.

I think those maps are old 93... it's actually far worse now. I'm pretty sure they have thown western MD in with much of MontCo to get that last seat away from Roscoe Bartlett. They (MD Dems) stole that one.

What you fail to see is that they don't WANT that much government. It's really not all that complicated, dawg.

You do realize he's just a troll? Nobody is really that stupid. At least I hope not.

And yeah, the maps I posted are a bit dated. It has gotten even worse.

No, they don't like their state subsidized infrastructure, education, law enforcement etc. Not one bit!

Western Maryland and the Eastern Shore both give WAY, WAY more than they take. Baltimore and PG County are (pardon the pun) black holes for taxpayer funds.

Well, if it stopped at infrastructure and law enforcement, there probably wouldn't be a problem now, would there?

No, they should provide for their own rather than relying upon Baltimore, Denver, Seattle to pay for it. Boot straps man...boot straps!

You're starting to sound like Houndawg.






And that's not a compliment.

Can Tucson secede from the crooked Republicans that gerrymandered Arizona?

Take a look at Ohio and PA, Texass as well - all gerrymandered for the benefit of Conkdom.



Poor wittle ruralites - you ran the show for decades and decades, now you are holding your breath and crying because you aren't getting everything you want. Typical entitlement mentality.

America was built on compromise -now, if people don't get exactly what they want, they throw fits. Bunch of fucking pussies.
