California Voters “Asking for It” Say State Officials

A Semi-News/Semi-Satire from AzConservative ^ | 23 May 2009 | John Semmens

A satire that is just so on-target

[ravinson]

It’s time to liquidate the State of California and start from scratch with a 0% tax rate and no public services. That’s the only way to smoke out of all of the government pensioners and other worthless freeloaders dragging the state down.

[stboz]

When I see cuts to the CARB and DTSC, I’ll know they mean it.

[ken21]

lol!

californicate’s problems are 2:

1. unions

2. illegals.

[Brilliant]

They’ve been “asking for it” for about 10 years now, but you libs won’t give it to them.

[LiberConservative]

Almost fell for it ... almost.

[PLMerite]

The best satire is that which is so close to expectations that it has to be identified as satire lest people break out the torches and pitchforks.

Good stuff!

Schwarzenegger emphasized that “the cuts must occur in highly visible and essential services in order to let people know the consequences of their votes. It would do us no good to make cuts in the parts of government that people don’t understand. If we fire planners, consultants, regulators, tax auditors and such, the average citizen wouldn’t feel a thing and those who do probably would feel relieved. That sends the wrong message.”

The Girly-man speaks the Democrat Party talking points. What a fool he is.

[Eagle Eye]

It’s a demonstration of lack of trust in those of us charged with governing this state,

Incredibly, someone got it right.

This is the first time I've had any respect of Kalifornians...if they can continue to reject their government then I may restore their C instead of the K.

[Eagle Eye]

Dang, didn’t see satire!

Nowadays the satire is too close to the truth to be humor.

“It’s a demonstration of lack of trust in those of us charged with governing this state,” Bass said.

Well, she's right there. And Ms. Bass, why do you think that is? Apparently someone, ahem, isn't doing their job very well or acting very responsibly.

[Smokin' Joe]

Satire or prophesy? Tune in nest week...

Well done!

Schwarzenegger emphasized that “the cuts must occur in highly visible and essential services in order to let people know the consequences of their votes. ------------------ The above statement really says it all about our state government and what they think of voters. If ever a statement reflected how arrogant government is this is it.

[Joan Kerrey]

I could completely imagine anyone of those idiots saying these things.

---

I was fooled. I thought it was real because I can actually imagine that the quotes are real. So I posted in haste thinking the governor actually made those statements.
Satire should be more off the wall. The line today between satire and reality is too thin.

Is there a pix of this guy? Sorry, my bad... Found it next to “Tar & Feather”.
