California Secretary of State- Special Statewide Election ^ | Tuesday evening November 8th

[ajolympian2004]

TODAY, Californians are heading to the polls to vote on several major propositions that shall dramatically affect both the political and economic future of our state.

We are following the activity and will report the results.

To the rest of the states, I say this, "We Conservatives will fight for our state until our last breath".

Agreed...provided we don't allow our Judas goat RINOs to bargain away our Second Amendment rights.

I think the loss on parental notification was due to non-parents. San Francisco has fewer children per capita than any other major city. I don't know the stats on this, but I'd guess that a lot of coastal Northern California is like this. A lot of yuppies with no kids, or only one kid who's a boy, and like most yuppies they don't give a damn about the concerns of others.

This is where it does get interesting. The white yuppies keep getting older, and they don't have children. Eventually they will die out due to lack of survival instincts (How else do you explain voting for socialism? You have ZERO survival instincts!).

Who will replace them? The Latinos mostly (if they can be motivated to participate that is). They are a whole new breed -- more socially conservative (for now) but fiscally liberal. Which only makes them half as bad as what they replace.

I really do wish we could break up the state! It truly is ungovernable the way it is setup right now.

All of us who value our Constitutional freedoms should have woke up to a new reality this morning.

RINO scumbags will be on my endangered species list.

IMO, the map for Prop 73, Parental Notification, is a better judge of conservatism in California (vs. the Prop 76 map you posted--which was not a conservative measure, at all, imo). As you mentioned earlier, had the CA GOP lifted more than their little finger to support that measure, it could have passed.

You're absolutely right!!! Bump to your post. I'm soooo sick of apathetic people not voting. No excuse. arghgh!

[It's me]

You idiot!

Are you serious? You didn't vote because your vote wouldn't have made a difference!!?

Can you imagine if 50,000 other peole didn't vote for the same reason? You lazy, cowards stayed home and changed the outcome of the vote by NOT VOTING!!

I agree with the others who said YOU are not allowed to comment on anything that happens in the state of California. Because YOU don't care about it.

[OKIEDOC]

Agree with your comments.

However, our conservative leaders need to get tougher not weaker in this onslaught from those who would wreck this country (Democrats) for a few measly benefits.

[mrs tiggywinkle]

***Any California Freeper who didn't vote should be shunned. ***

Worth repeating.

[OKIEDOC]

Maybe it is time for the normal people of California to think about splitting off those parts of California that have slipped over the edge of common sense.

[Prime Choice]

Unfortunately, the sections that carried Prop 73 are sparsely populated in comparison to those that voted it down.

And I do believe that fiscal conservatism (Prop 76) is a valid barometer, but that's just me I guess.

It's little wonder why so many conservatives stayed home. Their own party doesn't support them...why should they support it?

[It's me]

I'm so pissed off...conservatives talk a good game but then when it comes to action, if they have to get off their fat asses, forget it. Any California Freeper who didn't vote should be shunned. I'm just shocked to read that.

I Agree. I am stunned to read that a few Freepers did not vote. What lazy, cowards.

THey will never be taken seriously by me again.

[veronica]

Yep. I sure did vote.

And if the good people of San Francisco don't allow military recruiting at high schools and colleges, I suggest that if there is a terrorist attack there, or a natural disaster (like an earthquake) the military NOT respond. What a bunch of left-wing whackos.

All of us who value our Constitutional freedoms should have woke up to a new reality this morning.

It appears many have hit the snooze button. The RINOs are insisting that I'm some sort of union thug supporter because I won't snuggle up to their Sacramento RINO who couldn't be bothered to endorse Prop 73 (parental notification).

RINO scumbags will be on my endangered species list.

Be prepared to be called a "Hillary supporter" because you won't truck with Liberal RINOs. The RINO brigade is already out in force trying to blame this debacle on conservatives.

[veronica]

I ALWAYS vote. I have never missed an election that I can remember. I would feel very guilty if I didn't vote.

[OKIEDOC]

Am I the only one who can hear the wake up bell ringing.

Bush and all our leaders on down to Arnold tried to compromise with the Democrats.

All this did was alienate those in the middle and piss off the base.

It's Time To Get Tough Conservatives.

Don't wimp out on us now.

[It's me]

"Red" Davis pushed California too far, and there was a backlash against him that lasted all of a few weeks, which was enough for a moderate Republican with star power to win a single election.

I heard McClintock on John and Ken last night saying that Arnold should have had the election as soon as possible after his being voted into office, when emotions were still high.
I agree with him

[LWalk18]

Why do you think that Prop 76 was not a conservative measure?

[tflabo]

"All conservatives should move and just leave that mess to the dogs..."

and please move to swing states...let's save the rest of the country.....(NJ, NY, Mass. also mucked up like Ca. so avoid these).

[afnamvet]

The morning after, nothing's changed.

Your vote and others like you who "felt my vote would have been wasted" have no ownership for changing the political landscape of our great state. Your kind are along for the ride.

I do applaud you for your honesty in your post.

Since I had to become an Alaska resident to get my job I can no longer vote in California. However, I called my wife and asked how she voted and she said she didn't even go. I was somewhat disappointed but she wasn't following the debates so it was probably just as well that she stayed home. Shasta County is still relatively conservative, I just wonder for how much longer?
