BTW I don't know if you'all know this but if Obama doesn't poll well in California then the fat lady can start singing right now for his chances on winning reelection...

The potent mix of voters that has powered Democratic presidential victories in California for a generation overwhelmingly supports President Obama's bid for reelection, forming a demographic wall blocking Republican Mitt Romney from the biggest pot of electoral votes available in November.

“Our Founding Fathers were wise to institute the Electoral College.”
Yes, they were.
But the electoral college isn’t going to help Republicans/conservatives/traditional Americans for very much longer.
Once again, the opening lines of the article:
“The potent mix of voters that has powered Democratic presidential victories in California for a generation overwhelmingly supports President Obama’s bid for reelection, forming a demographic wall blocking Republican Mitt Romney from the biggest pot of electoral votes available in November.”
Key words: “demographic wall”.
Look at California today vis-a-vis the California of 1960. What has changed?
Similarly, look at New Mexico. It has “changed”, too, in the last ten years — it’s now the second state (after California) to go “majority non-Euro”.
And the biggest prize of all for the leftists will be Texas. Yes, Texas. I believe it was reported within the last week that a whopping 70% (that’s seven out of every ten) new births in Texas are now “non-Euro”. I’ll hazard a guess that nearly all of these are Hispanic, and the lion’s share of these births are “anchor babies” born to illegals.
No, these newborns can’t vote — YET.
No, they can’t influence Texas’ politics — YET.
But time changes everything, and time is going to change Texas into as blue a state as is California. Just wait twenty years, if that long.
Consider these states and their respective electoral votes:
California: 55
New York: 29
Illinois: 20
Massachusetts: 11
Vermont: 3
Connecticut: 7
New Mexico: 5
Iowa: 6
Oregon: 7
Washington: 12
Minnesota: 10
New Jersey: 14
Maryland: 10
Delaware: 3
D.C.: 3
Pennsylvania: 20
Hawaii: 4
Maine: 4
That’s 223 “pretty solid” electoral votes for the democrats right there
Add Texas, with 38 more electoral votes, and you’ve got 261.
All you need is one more state, say, Wisconsin (which trends democratic anyway) and it’s “over the top” for the ‘rats, without even -trying-.
The nation is now as divided as it was in the decade preceding the Civil War. These divisions are destined to grow, exacerbated by demographic changes that have become all-but uncontrollable.
I recall a pivotal line from the film “Little Big Man”, spoken by Old Lodge Skins (Chief Dan George) to Jack Crabbe (Dustin Hoffman) after the Battle of Little Big Horn: “We won today. We won’t win tomorrow.” As an Indian, even though they were victorious that day, he saw the inevitable future that was coming. It was a future driven by numbers, by demographics.
A “demographic wall”, indeed.
Immigration, legal and illegal, has made the Dems the permanent majority party. No Rep will ever win CA again. And eventually, all the Congressional seats will be filled by Dems.
Won't work. The idiots believe the cold war is over, we don't have enemies any more, and we don't need more weapons, la, la.
I barely got into “TEXAS’. hee hee. You should of included the I-95 corridor south of Fredericksburg in “TEXAS” and not gone all the way down to Richmond. ;)
The mushrooming illegal alien vote is definitely Obama’s....although many of them think they are voting to make him president of Mexico.
BTW I don't know if you'all know this but if Obama doesn't poll well in California then the fat lady can start singing right now for his chances on winning reelection...
And like typical dumb ass liberals the residents flee and move into the surrounding states and continue to vote for the Marxist democrats
We’ve probably lost DC and Illinois as well.
The only ray of sunshine here is that the longer Hispanics are in the United States — measured in generations — the more they vote like Anglo Americans. This can be seen in Texas, which has had steady immigration from Mexico for over 100 years. If we could stop all immigration, legal and illegal, it would help assimilate those who are here and give us a new lease on the future.
As someone who has lived in California since age 3, you nailed what has happened to this once wonderful state. California was once very conservative. (Ronald Reagan) Once we had a budget surplus, a great public school system, an affordable UC system that was world renowned. Now we are broke, a one party state, failing schools,and illegals controlling the agenda. La Raza is a power here that no politician dare cross. Mark my words, our next governer will be the jackass (Gavin Newsome) from S.F. whose “sanctuary city” policy got a father and his two sons killed. The widow and remaining daughter are now in the witness protection program. He ruined their lives and, trust me, no one cares and the local press, well you know.
Surprising news.
I mean, it’s surprising that the Democrat “mainstream” news organ has admitted the GOP has no shot in Kalifornia.
The usual MO for the Democrat “mainstream” newsrooms is to create polls that show the GOP has a chance, thereby attempting to trick the GOP into flushing money down the toilet tilting at a hopeless windmill. The smart move is to not waste a dime on statewide races but to simply try to hang onto whatever House seats are truly competetive.
Kalifornia is gone. Just give the place to Mexico and be done with it.
Nothing lasts forever. America’s early demise is a loss for the entire planet, but nothing lasts forever.
“Kalifornia is gone. Just give the place to Mexico and be done with it.”
We do have an option and a precedent. It’s called Reconstruction.
Declare California a state in insurrection. Appoint a military governor and send in a division of investigators, attorneys and armed troops. Then clean it out.
I bought one of these a few years ago off eBay. Every so often I will use it as ID (library or some other minor deal) and ALWAYS get a deer-in-the-headlights reaction. No one wants to come out and say it is no good, so they'll just stand there, looking at it and turning it over and over. After a minute or so I tell them it is a joke. They are not amused. :-)
By the way, that quintessential bandido is Alfonso bedoya, who had gotten some kind of immortality out of it without even trying.
I mean, nice diatribe and all, but.....
Holy God they let illegals vote there? That is just un-freakin’-real, absolutely insane. I was listening to Mark Levin tonite who was talking how George H. Bush won California when he ran for POTUS. He said today that would be impossible, no Repub. will ever win California again and that if Obama wins a 2nd term we can expect that to happen to the rest of the country, I assume because of the illegal vote. This BS has got to end, literally other countries deciding who our politicians should be so they can steal our money and jobs.
You should see it here in New York city now, virtually every construction job with the exception of building new high-rises such as the Freedom tower on the WTC site, is done by illegals who also do all road work and bridge repair and it drives the construction unions crazy, they constantly constantly hold protests with big inflatable rats. And all this illegal employment is completely sanctioned ad openly encouraged by our Mayor, Despot Mike Bloomberg.
You seem a bit slow slick.
If you’d read, it was in response to a posters comments regarding budgets.
Try reading prior to involuntarily burping up dumb comments.
Well, that because most everyone that voted for Bush, now regret it.
If Bush ran against Chucko the clown today, he'd lose.
It's why I never listen to Levin..He has considerable difficulty figuring out the obvious.
