The GOP is dead nationally.
Maybe, but Obama will resurrect conservatism (and has in many ways) by demonstrating his leftist, fascist, communist, tendancies with Health Care, CO2 tax, and a general inability to turn a sour economy around with: you guessed it, higher taxes.
CA is in trouble 'cause the Dems today are nothing like past Dems. Old dems built things (highways, water systems, educational facilities, etc.) today's dems write paychecks, give handouts, tax the crap out of any productive private sector enterprise, and build lavish retirements for themselves and their union buddies.
I can't think of any major project undertaken during the reign of the metro/collectivist-dem. Hell, they can't even deliver on Homo Marriage. What a bunch of incompetent fags.
If I were queer (and I'm not, thank you) I'd be so pissed I'd vote for a conservative- that way I still couldn't get 'married', but at least I'd have a job.
Maybe this sort of defection can occur on a larger scale than we may predict, but one things for certain- the path we're on won't get us where we should be as the richest state in the Union.
In fact, the path we've been taking all these 'liberal state government' years will very soon come crashing down on a lot of people for lack of 'vision' and 'principle'. Momma said there'd be days like this.
