The guy that wrote the article isn't too thrilled about the idea, but thats pretty much to be expected from a liberal paper like the Baltimore Sun.

Maybe this idea will get some traction after all. I'd love to live in "West New York" the state, instead of just "western new york", the geographical region.

"... instead of, say, trying to bring the Republican Party into the 21st Century, recruiting new candidates, registering new voters — have at it, fellas."

You do realize that these antics only serve to the Republican party look like idiots?...
Much like the 50 or so futile attempts to repeal Obamacare...

Instead of taking any serious action to make a better country, these guys just waste taxpayer money with grandstanding...
... and you are cheering them?... ...

They may as well just threaten to hold their breath until they turn blue...
It's childish...

Bot I refereed to the government, not any particular party. They're all crooks and they want whats best for themselves. Do they work for us, no. Should they, yes. I started this out as bipartisan. Obama has lied as much as any of the other polirticians, he's trying to crumble the Constitution and Bill of rights and I don't give a flying furk what party he says he belongs to. Same for a lot of the state goverments. Theres been wars our whole lives. Dems and Pubs are responsible, that's why this discussion should remain bipartisan.

I apologize for ranting... (and not even grumpy today)... ...

It's just tiring hearing every over the edge nut go on about breaking up the country,... when they all know it's just a showboat...
If they don't like America anymore,.. there's the door... just pack your crap and move...
Enough of the silliness...

This discussion was actually about parts of STATES dividing themselves into smaller states. That's quite different from breaking up the country.

And calling anyone who thinks it might be a viable political soloution to a political problem in some locations is a bit over the top.

There is a huge part of my state - New York - where the prevailing, political attitudes are quite at odds with those of the downstate countys that drive the political decisions that affect everyone in the state. Workable compromise has been virtually impossible for many years on a lot of issues and as a result we have one of the most dysfunctional state governments in the country. I don't see things getting better any time soon. Politics as usual is not going to fix this. Neither is pissing and moaning about Dems vs. repubs, or simply calling one another names.

OldNslow - I see here in Syracuse the Republican Party may not even field a candidate for mayor.    When did Syracuse move to Massachusetts (a real live 1 party fiasco.)

I know it's cliche' to say, "just leave"...
... and it's said to lot's of people that just disagree with something that's happening...
... but,.. this constant talk of states breaking away,... or civil war,... and this Maryland thing (which is only a veiled attempt at some other method of removing itself from the US)...

These are literally people making the statement that they want to leave, but don't want to pack...
So, I say they should just leave... (and I know they won't because it's all just posturing)...
You guys know it too... You're just enjoying it, because you agree with it... but you know it isn't in any way real...

Now,... "Obama" has a mice problem...  
Yes,... Obama has it...  after all, he's responsible for everything...
... and yes,.. it would be funny... if you were joking... but, you aren't...

I'm gonna' just leave you guyz to it for while...
Look down the page... it's just irrational blather coming from the radio/net right-wing hate machine regurgitated...
... and most of you are so isolated in your extremes that you refuse to associate with the right anymore...
You're only not Right because it's not far right enough...

The problem here is talk... the radio, net, even TT extremism...
Enjoy yourselves... you're only talking to yourselves anymore...

No, it's not. Reread the article if you care to.

Neither did I, or anywhere in the article, say the the problem was Obama's fault. The story actually had nothing to do with Obama except for the fact that his name was mentioned in the headline because he happens to be the current resident of the building that the article is actually about.

You're right - I think you need to take a break before you blow a gasket
