California is a bright Red state once you get inland about 20 miles. Unfortunately, a majority of the people live in that 20 mile strip near the water and most of them are left-wing loons.

I live inland in northern San Diego County and I simply don't have a Senator I can contact about any important issue. My Congressman is very conservative, as are all the neighboring Congressmen (Cunningham of course will be replaced by a Republican).

If we could split Calif. into a coastal state and an inland state I think everyone out here would be much happier. I wouldn't care what loons like Boxer say or do, and the coastal commies wouldn't have to put up with us inland rednecks.

Giving it to Mexico would accomplish nothing. The corrupt Mexican political and social system combined with the left-wing ideology of the inhabitants would rapidly destroy the economy. The illegals would just have to walk farther to find employment, and we'd have a longer border to patrol.

So when you get irked at the likes of Boxer, just remember that there are real Americans out here in California who have much more in common with Kansas or Alabama than they do with the denizens of San Francisco who currently hold our two Senate seats.
