So will he do it?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve heard some talk that he might be considering a trip here in the last couple of weeks of his presidency,&#8221; said state Republican Party Chairman Rob Roper. &#8220;But we haven&#8217;t been pushing one way or the other,&#8221; said the typically laid-back Vermonter. The White House will neither confirm nor deny the claim.<\/p>\n<p>Just what could Mr. Bush do if he popped up to Vermont for a day trip? &#8220;Avoid arrest,&#8221; Mr. Roper said with a laugh. &#8220;He&#8217;s welcome in most of the state, but not so much in Brattleboro.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Brattleboro has been a topic a few times here on This Ain&#8217;t Hell as a den of flatlanders trying to pass themselves off as Vermonters. Poor Vermont has suffered mightily from the invasion of Leftists &#8211; when I lived there about twenty years ago, the state was largely Republican, except for Chittenden County around Burlington which had as it&#8217;s mayor Bernie Sanders &#8211; but the illness spread and Vermont seems to be populated by moonbats these days.<\/p>\n<p>Gone is the spirit that roused a tavern full of drunks to stumble through thickets and forests to seize Fort Ticonderoga in the dead of night without firing a shot. It&#8217;s now controlled by sissies who want to arrest our own President.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, um, in case Vermonters didn&#8217;t know &#8211; Vermont doesn&#8217;t mean &#8220;Green Mountain&#8221; in French.
