Pull the plug.............

[the invisib1e hand]

Flip that switch, baby!

"We're not going to respond to threats from a state which has isolated itself from the America that values freedom, liberty and basic human rights," Beltran said.

Who is this clown kidding? Kalifornia values neither freedom, nor liberty, nor basic human rights. Arizona certainly does. At what point do we finally conclude that liberals are, quite simply, nothing more than traitors who ought to be treated as such?



get it here

[Drango]

Of course Arizona CAN’T win this. However, they should still cut the power and see LA in court. It will take 4 years to litigate the matter perhaps more, and during that time LA can get a clue or buy a vowel.

Commissioner Pierce is only giving Los Angeles what they want.

[Liberty Valance]

LOL - in for a penny - in for a pound.

“Spokesman David Beltran told Fox News that the message didn’t even warrant a response.”

Flip the switch off. Then when the lights go out in LA and all the crying starts, the Arizona officials can say, “The message didn’t even warrant a response.”

We're not going to respond to threats from a state which has isolated itself from the America that values freedom, liberty and basic human rights," Beltran said.

I think Beltran has the shoe on the wrong foot. It's CA that's isolating itself from America. Arizona, flip that switch!

Pull the plug on LA for a few hours each day...Give them rolling brownouts just like they have in Meh-hico.

[Argus]

Good to know that “basic human rights” now include the right to violate the immigration laws of the USA, but only the USA. Mexico can continue to exploit, rob, rape and murder all illegal immigrants to its own territory. No human rights being violated there.

[USNBandit]

Pierce threatened to pull the plug if the City Council does not reconsider.

That is not what Pierce said. Even FOX can't get this story right.

[crz]

AZ may not be able to win this but..they can try emergency shut downs due to overloads on the system and go into repair mode. After all, when the system overloads it causes system failures.

[Caipirabob]

Villaraigosa is another ignorant jerk who can't read. Pierce offered to encourage the private corporation to renegotiate the contract so that CA could carry through with their threat of boycott by boycotting a major Arizona export: Energy.

Villaraigosa no tiene los cojones para hacerlo.

The power cutoff was an idle threat, though well-intentioned. You can't intentionally cut off the power to city unless you want to assume responsibility for any injuries or deaths resulting from traffic accidents, shut down of medical and safety equipment, etc.

But you can start jacking up the price as the contracts expire.

[July4]

Pull the plug OR raise the rates until legal Californians get tired of being jerked around by LaRaza and the Progressives. I’ve lived through a bunch of hurricane-induced blackouts, and, after a few days, it’s not fun anymore. Just think: LA without lights, air-conditioning, traffic signals, etc. Go for it, Arizona!

[Hoodat]

Pull the switch!

[Shqipo]

They should “accidentally” cut the juice off for a few minutes just for a chuckle. Then again, LA might be in cinders after a short riot.... Do it anyways!

[Regulator]

Villar is bluffing.

He and his Cholo buddies know that the Evil Gringos in AZ have them by Los Cojones.

Now they gotta act cool and macho, pretend not to care.

Truth is, things could be set in motion to stop selling power to LA. The Salt River Project is a public-private entity and the legislature can direct things to be done there.

Also, APS can be directed by the Corporation Commission to do things in the interest of Arizona...like tell the LA Cartelistas to pound sand.

Arizona needs the power. It's going to grow again as Americans move there for safety and a resumption of the American way of life...not the Mexican Communist version in California.

Hope they do it. The gangbanger punks in L.A. deserve it.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

Oh please, please...

"We're not going to respond to threats from a state which has isolated itself from the America that values freedom, liberty and basic human rights," Beltran said

Um, isn't that a response?

[norton]

I would love to see the boycott going both ways, including not selling electricity to a city that ignores the law and abets illegal aliens.
And that comes from someone who would be living on battery power if it happened.
(Generator not purchased yet - but selection is under way)
(Of course, I also want out of here - in case anyone knows of a couple of acres with house and shop that would sell for the shrunken value of my house...and is close enough to stores so I don't have to go alone)
