Diluting the red vote with blue, liberal voters. Those liberals never learn, they bring their destructive habits with them. Quoting: evangeline claire some will, some will take early retirement, and the city of Springfield has offered help to the ones who don't wish to move. I think Tennessee will get the ones who want to move here, but your point is sharp.... Don't want the Red here turning Purple. Liberalism is totalitarianism with a human face – Thomas Sowell |

Quoting: beeches Blue bleeds Red leads... [link to www.wamc.org (secure)] Smith & Wesson, the gun manufacturer that has been based in Springfield, Massachusetts since before the Civil War, announced Thursday that it plans to move its headquarters to Tennessee, costing the region hundreds of jobs. In a conference call with reporters and stock analysts, company President and CEO Mark Smith cited legislation pending on Beacon Hill that would, if passed, prohibit the manufacturing of certain firearms in the state as the key reason for the move. "While we are certainly hopeful this arbitrary and damaging legislation will be defeated in this session, these products made up over 60 percent of our revenue last year," he said. "And the unfortunate likelihood that such restrictions would be raised again, led to a review of the best path forward for Smith & Wesson." The Exodus from Libtardia continues... And northeast Tennessee welcomes them with open arms. Everyone here is thrilled about this move. American by birth and southern by the grace of God..... |
