Lower taxes, smaller government, and more economic freedom =/= "the extreme right".
It's the way it should be. In Maryland are you kind of outnumbered? I have friends in your state through my best friend and they're all die hard Republicans and very socially conservative. It's funny how that works out. Actually, I've found that outside of the Washington D.C. and Baltimore areas, Maryland is fairly moderate.
D.C. Suburbs and Baltimore is the reason Maryland is a blue state, in fact without Montgomery County, Prince George's County, and the city of Baltimore, Obama narrowly carries Maryland by 417 votes.... 48.8% while Romney gets 48.7%.
