No...

The libs maybe willing as long as they can divide up the debt evenly. Right now, they would consider it a bailout of last resort.

[Tigerized]

Naw. I think the libs oughta just move to the workers paradise of Cuba or Venezuela or Massachusetts, and leave the Golden State to us conservative natives who remember it when...

[Ripliancum]

If these earthquakes keep up, God maybe doing it whether we want it or not.

[fish hawk]

How bout you Californians growing some balls, kick ass, and take back the state you are losing.

[OldDeckHand]

There’s nothing in the Constitution that says a state has to be contiguous. Look at HI. You could lump Oakland, SanFran, most of Humboldt and all of LA and San Diego Counties into Kalifornia, and leave the rest as California. Problem solved.

[americanophile]

That way the libs could have like 4 or 6 senate seats...

[blkmontecarlo]

You people are just jealous of our beautiful state.
I love my California, it’s sunny ALL the time, never gets cold, and the people I know still have jobs and money.
So go pick on on another state.... like North Dakota

[americanophile]

Let’s at least wait for redistricting before we start carving the state up...not that it’s anything more than academic.

[Tzimisce]

They’re not going to let you break away.

They need your money and your population (to keep 54 House seats/electoral votes).

[Othniel]

Yes. The Central Valley, Inland Empire, Sacto Valley, up the center of the state to the Oregon border and east to the Nevada border. We'll call that "Sane California." Then LA, SF, Oakland, along the coast will be "Loonie California." We'll let Sandy Eggo and Orange County decide what part they want to be in. As for the Bay Area & LA Basin, it can fall into the sea for all the good it does our state.

[GOP Poet]

No. I live here pretty much in the middle and even though it is a liberal cess pool and overrun with illegal immies and Mexi gang/traffickers, it is California—spanning, variable, and diverse. We just need to let them shoot themselves in the foot until it is nearly dead and keep working and turning it red, red, red. There is hope until death.

[pissant]

No. Just use the bay area and LA for strip mining, wind farms, oil exploration, etc. And ship the citizens thereof to Cuba or Mexico.

[eclecticEel]

Yes, the bay area can from it’s own SR, leaving the rest of us with at least the possibility of being a real state.

[bannie]

Y * E * S

[screaminsunshine]

No No No. They should be joined with Oregon and washington so the whole flock of Liberals only have 2 Senators.

[Oceander]

I think that it's an idea that deserves serious consideration - not the least because it would also be beneficial to the rest of the country by breaking up a gigantic (liberal) voting bloc in Congress.
