What a puzzlement!!! Let’s ask our distinguished panel:
“Sr. Ronaldo, do you have any ideas why this could be?”
“Yo no se.”
“Sr. Garcia?”
“Lo siento no hablo ingles.”
“Sr Calderón, any ideas?”
“Sorry, no entiendo”
There you have it. Our team of experts is stumped. No reason why California is more like a third world country.
More investigation is planned after the people of that great state vote again in 2012.
Californians need to meditate.
Californians:
“We’re unhappy and want change now!!! So let’s re-elect Barbara Boxer and give Moonbeam Brown another go-round!”
This must be because there’s a sushi shortage in San Francisco.
I’d be crushed, too.
Didn't drop anything I have to go back for.
I admire people who see their house on fire and stay to fight the flames. On the other hand, when the flaming joists and beams start crashing down, its time to get out of the house. In any event, best of luck to you.
It’s just beyond me why a conservative American would even consider moving there.
Aren't they, though?
Correction...left in ‘94.
Californians are going to have learn to whine in Spanish.
I have COX cable and have no idea what Stoke is.
“sell Calif ro the mexs”
No way! If this should happen, then all the illegals, PLUS even worse, Californians would come to Texas! Californians, you live in the greatest place in the world! Don’t let anyone tell you different - please...
You have a perfect model of what happens to states affected by the liberal flight from their own fouled nests: Maine.
Inundated by hordes of Kennedy-idolater Massholes, a dumping ground for the State Department's Muslim "refugees," and with a dedicated corps of out-of-state leftists of unknown sex taking over every administrative civil service post a Democrat Governor's long administration could dream up, Maine is taking the first shaky step of a long, painful recovery. Let's hope there is enough of a true New England constituency to stick with it! Time to re-institute poll taxes and literacy tests, and raise the voting age to 40, before the Massholes, the stupid,(quite a bit of overlap there) and the foreigners drag us down to perdition.
Two known idiot RINOs representing us in the Senate is no help, although in all fairness, either appears more intelligent than Barbara Boxer, whose only function is to make Feinstein look smart by comparison. (How come no one ever asks what the husbands of these viragos are up to? You would be amazed at the money being made by these lucky fellows!)
California was once very efficient at keeping out white people from Oklahoma and Texas. A pity they forgot how to control their own southern border against foreigners.
For ME purposes, a Masshole is a loud non-English speaker who is too stupid to handle his own garbage but insists on telling you how to handle yours. They are environmentalists. That is, once they have a house in the woods, they want to keep you out, except to do chores for $3/hr.
Coming home from L.A., my wife (nine months pregnant) needed a pit stop. We pulled into some town in the middle of nowhere and not a soul spoke english. This place looked post-apocolyptic. We got back on the freeway and got the hell out of there.
Brown’s motto - “Fooled you once, shame on me! Fooled you twice, what a bunch of dumbasses.”
And you might as well add, too many Rats on this board who are willing to surrender California to Mexico.
Then what, surrender Oregon, Nevada, and Arizona in the next round. And after that, then what?
The Republican party pulled out of California. What did folks expect to happen?
It has been nine years since we had a real Conservative run to be governor, and the party leaders acted as if he was radioactive.
Bush thought illegal immigrants were going to garner the nation fantastic rewards. We were the dumping ground. Well guess what Senior Bush, we were right, and you were wrong.
No, as many lame brains across the nation point out, Californians don’t vote for Conservatives out here. The only problem is you lame brains, Conservatives aren’t on the ballots, and if they are the Republican party does absolutely nothing to support them.
Frankly, I wish the Tea Party would start running candidates under that label. As California started righting itself, perhaps the nation would follow another California trend, this time a good one.
The Republican party no longer deserves to exist.
Nah, Mexicans will want it for free - and as soon as they get it they'll turn it into a third world drug hellhole without jobs and they'll be illegally crossing into Nevada.
We should sell CA to the Israelis, move Israel here and keep a contingent of Jews in Israel to hold the land and sites for return.
The advantages would be we'd have a wonderful neighbor - Muslims would lose the excuse that the "Joos" are keeping them down ( rather than their medieval system of religion). Israelis could move back once Muslims know their failures are their own fault... and California would still be a first world country and friend with some Jews staying here in New Israel...
Those few conservatives here in CA will always feel a special kind of appreciation to Brooklyn, New York for sending Boxer our way.
And Baltimore for Pelosi.
And Texas for Willie Brown.
And Winsconsin for Pete Stark...
Well, you get the idea.
Is this specific to certain parts of CA? I’m in the Folsom area on a visit and my brother and his wife have just purchased a gorgeous home in Rancho Murietta, her job with a large corporation is stable, the company continues to grow,and my brother’s construction related business has started to pick up. Around here, you’d never know there was a crisis of any sort in CA.
