I try to avoid I-95 between Fairfax County and Richmond, Virginia. We

take 301 south from Waldorf and then pick up the Richmond bypass and get

on I-95 south of Richmond. Route 301 is a pretty decent drive. I-95

through North Carolina isn't bad. We gas up and hit the pit stops before

we get into South Carolina so, hopefully, we don't have to spend a

dollar in that state. It also seems that I-95 in South Carolina is not

well-maintained.


Funny (strange) that you claim that lefties are the ones that have a heart and want to help their fellow man, but when you purposefully don't spend your tourist dollars on that I-95 corridor, you're hurting exactly the ones that need help the most.

For you, politics trumps compassion.

While traveling the I-95 corridor, we gas up and stop for meals and

sometimes lodging just about everywhere *except* South Carolina. I

wouldn't spend a dime in Texas, either.


As I said, for you, politics trumps compassion. You want to think you're hurting those state governments. You don't give a damn about the people and communities struggling to make it, depending on the very businesses you don't patronize.

It defines you. A smug, arrogant, and shortsighted liberal.

Odd, I've never seen anyone (business) in a 'busy' tourist trap that was hurting for lack of tourist dollars...

I see no reason to support backwards, racist, anti-government.
anti-woman, anti voters' rights states like South Carolina or Texas with
tourism business.

The area of SC that I-95 passes through is an economically depressed area. It's pretty much an interstate highway with nothing around it. To intentionally pass through it without spending any money is withholding dollars from people that need it, and rely on it for their livelihood. To do that because of some misplaced political alignment is heartless.

So you hate Nikki Haley, the minority woman Governor of SC? Ah, got it.

Oh, and you have no problem supporting union slobs that help pay your salary (although you pay no taxes, eh?), but you won't help support the exact people you pretend to want to help? Typical liberal.
