As Rush might say, “you made my day”.
Thanks for the kind words. There were a couple of other folks up thread who I thought were also on track.
...and speaking of frustration, CA is a subject all it’s own. Greatest state in the Union, with everything one could want in life, except good government. Yet there are good people there somewhat overshadowed by the Boxer, Pilosi, and Feinstein trio. And the spending habits that regard high speed rail as more important than Central Valley Agriculture.
CA’s woes can explained in one word: demographics.
Hard to believe, but the state used to vote reliably Republican in presidential elections, voting GOP in ever presidential election from 1952 to 1992 (except 1964).
But now whites make up less than 40% of the population in CA. Which explains why the state is solid and blue and one-party these days.
The Democrats rely on a steady stream of illegal immigration to replenish their numbers which also explains why Soetoro did what he did last night.
