I am a California conservative. Believe it or not, there are a lot of us, especially in the rural outreaches of this beautiful state. But somehow California was immune from the conservative electoral sweep of the mid-term elections. Granted, we didn't have true conservative contenders for governor, or for the Senator "Don't Call Me Ma'am" spots. In fact, in spite of the fact that Meg Whitman was the founder and CEO of E-Bay, she was also a former devotee of Van Jones. Yikes!! I also think she ran a weak campaign. The story about the illegal alien housekeeper, who was miraculously represented by former Brown supporter and blood sucker Gloria All-Red, for "back wages" (chortle), was a deliberate opportunistic attack by Jerry Brown. Meg's golden opportunity to fire back came when the recently "discovered" video of Brown emerged, admitting he lied and made sh*t up and had no plan the first time he ran for governor. Meg did use that clip in one of her commercials, but people STILL voted for him!! Why didn't she run that ad every 5 minutes for the last 3-4 days of her campaign?? Her funds seemed bottomless, and this was one effective snapshot of who Jerry Brown really was.

And then there was the challenger to Senator "Don't Call Me Ma'am", Carly Fiorina. Former CEO and destroyer of the once incredibly great Hewlett Packard, who by the way has been my employer for the past 16 years. Yes, I survived the Carly years. I have many reasons to hate her. She was a train wreck for HP. And yet I still voted for her, to be clear, because I felt that I HAD TO vote against Babs. Again, Carly is not a true conservative, and I suspect is a RINO to the core in the vein of John McCain.

Getting back to the Governator... Arnold Schwarzenegger was elected after the very liberal Gray Davis, former Chief of Staff of, you guessed it, Gov Jerry Brown, was recalled out of office for totally screwing up. In particular, he cost Californians untold millions due to the "energy crisis" that was mostly contrived to bilk us taxpayers. Rolling brown-outs were tossed in, even in winter months, to try to convince us of the seriousness of the whole debacle. So Arnold comes riding in on his white horse, never mind that he had no experience. He was the bad-ass of Hollywood fame who was here to save the day. "I don't need the money" he said, "so I won't be beholden to any special interests". Yes, we thought, we like this!! So Arnold gets elected and almost immediately takes a hard left turn. Well duh, he's married to a Kennedy!!

Fast forward to November 2nd, 2010. Arnold defined RINO-ism. Meg was just about a carbon copy. Jerry Brown had name recognition, many voters were too young to remember his record, or were new to the state, or were voting illegally, or, my personal favorite, were part of the union machine that Jerry Brown himself created when he allowed the Public Sector to unionize!! Wow! The perfect storm.

CA has made their bed (of nails) and now the rats have complete control. Nighty-night.

California is lost. Best not to have any Republicans at the wheel when that ship totally sinks.

So, I guess you could say that McCainism lost outside of Arizona AGAIN!

And the problem that the Republican Party in Cali will say is that their candidate was not LIBERAL enough instead of saying that their candidate was not CONSERVATIVE enough.....

Conservatives do not blame others for their mistakes. The story thanks Arnold for giving us Jerry Brown. Conservatives compromising with the country club wing of the GOP is what caused the problem.

How many times have you heard on here that we must compromise and go with the GOP establishment candidate or we will lose? Look what happened this election. Their are now more conservatives than their would have been because of Tea Party.

Establishment GOP is already complaining about the Tea Party, saying we could have had liberal Republicans elected if only the Tea Party candidates had not beat them in the primary.

You got that right.

I don’t think any modern politician has disappointed me as much as Schwarzenegger. I knew he was never a true conservative, esp. on social issues, but I thought he understood capitalism and that phenomenal damage that environmental whacko-ism was doing to it. Now he leaves both as a failed governor and as one who has handed the state over to an aging, radical lunatic. Sorry, but CA needs to completely collapse. That Boxer and Brown could win in this climate is just unfathomable.

The NEW ballad of Jed Clampett
Come and listen to a story ‘bout a man named Jed
Poor oil entrepreneur barely kept his family fed
Then one day he was working for some food,
And up through the crowd come a bumbling fool
(Arnold that is, RINO gold, more taxes please)

Well the first thing you know old Jed’s taxes are to much to bear,
Kin folk said Jed move away from there!
Said Kalifornia is no place for you to be
So they loaded up the truck and they moved from Beverly
(go’n back to the Hills they are, fish’n holes, country and western stars)

Well now it’s time to say goodbye to Jed and all his kin
They would like to thank you folks for kindly dropping in
You’re all invited back again to their new locality
To have a heaping helping of their hospitality
(Redneck Hillbillies, is what the press call ‘em now,
Clingers of bibles and guns and to Obama no bow!
Nice folks Y’all come back now, ya hear?)

The once outsiders from our pre-1960 society are now in charge. Present day California is the result. Arnold was and is an actor. He played a role and won the part! Simply look at the composition of the legislature; one glance tells all.

I have lived here all my life and it was paradise. Californis is "Paradise Lost."

[Logical me]

Well, in the final analysis, we had Brown or Whitman. Guess what we got. Kinda reminds me of King Obama and McNut. Doesn't it?

[NavyCanDo]

I really fear for you Californians. This is not the budget minded California of 1975. The issues on the table are not the same as they were in 1975. And the left wing special interest groups who will be pulling Jerry Brown’s strings are far far more demanding than they were in 1975.
