Therein lies the reason for JD's loss... too many libs in Tempe, thank goodnesss they are still in pockets here and not all over the state.
I'm not trying to bash Texas- there are a lot of laws in Texas I wish we had in California, and I'm glad for Texas' electoral votes. I just get sick of hearing how California is just one big left-wing utopia. The reality is a lot more complex than that.
I still have one sister there, here kids are in college and she can't leave right now, though she's certainly like to. Everyone else has moved to Arizona.
As long as they stay on the other side of the COlorado River.
"The reality is a lot more complex than that."
With only one statewide office holder in the Republican Party?
Glad to hear conservatives are coming here, we're growing and I just hope it's people like fellow Freepers who are coming.
Have you noticed the instructions on a box of Bisquick are in English and Spanish now?
Unfortunately, I think Colorado was ripe for a lot of Northern California liberals to move there to "save the forests" like they've been doing in NoCal for so many years.
The problem right now is the ongoing drought, without some of the large lakes we'd all be in a world of hurt West of the Rockies, yet the California Environmental groups have been trying for ten years to take out one of our major dams and clean power producers.
It's an ongoing fight and they thought two years ago they were winning because the drought had drawn both Powell and Mead under 1/2 full.. yet, if it wasn't for Powell Mead would have gone dry and with it not only the water, but the power from both dams. Thank goodness year before last we had a good winter and it helped, a lot, but last year the winds dehydrated the snow in the Spring and heaven knows what this year will bring.
SoNevada is the one with the biggest problem because they have the smallest allocation from the Colorado.
I bailed out last summer. Not to a "cheaper" are to live, but Hawaii is actually not as expensive by a small margin. No heating bills, solar hot water, sales tax is 1/2, proterty tax less than 1/2, etc. Yeah, the politics are disgustingly liberal, but I knew that. Traffic can be bad, but no one is an @sshole like 2 out of 3 in SoCal. Calif. is in a downward spiral fueled by real estate greed, socialists running the capitol, and being taxed to death to fund illegal aliens.
Grew up there 40-50 years ago, glad to be rid of what it has become.
Well, I guess it's just that simple to you.
I consider it pollution of the rest of the nation. They have screwed up one state; now they want to screw them all.
The first thing you hear from them is, "That isn't the way we did it in California." They wouldn't be so bad if they would STFU. Stay Home in the mess you created.
I remember that, mid 70's, right? All of a sudden there were NY license plates everywhere in in the south and southwest areas of San Fernado valley. Sickening NY accents every time you turned around. Beginning of the end..........Politics took a sharp left turn right after that.
I recently rented a Uhaul trailer to bring some items from Montana to California. It cost about $75 one way. If I were to reverse the trip, the trailer would have cost about $490. Needless to say Uhaul is smiling.
Ah yes, that old chestnut!
Walked down the Santa Monica Promenade lately?
I hope it works for you.
I don't know. But it's time Arizona started issuing visit visas to visitors and work visas to those seeking employment. As for the southern border, it will be nice to have it lined with polonium 210.
Please, stay away from Texas.
These aren't just libs, they are outright wackos.( I guess all libs are wacko to some degree). When I overhear stuff like a certain world leader deserves to be assassinated, I can only laugh to myself and shake my head.
She's got it exactly bassackwards.
New York City is the place where they need all those guns.
Unfortunately, the fiefdom of upstate New York is full of decent serfs with some guns but ruled by socialist scoundrels from the Nottinghams in the big cities. They are desperately outnumbered by the rich, mouthy crowd and therefore unable to hold on to most of their diminishing rights. So, don't let these loudmouths from downstate move in and take yours like they have theirs.
