I sir am in California not by birth, not by choice, but by necessity. This is where I lived when I retired and the housing market collapsed and left me stranded. If given the choice I would head to my home state in Florida. I am in a small island of conservatism in a sea of liberals. I carry a Gadsden flag and an Impeach Obama sticker on my truck and I have been physically threatened and run off the road by Volvo’s with Obama 12 stickers. I fight the good fight every day and fly Ole Glory in my front yard proudly. It’s easy to be a conservative when living in a conservative state. I am a Patriot who lives in the fire.
You misread my post. My response was meant as a “tongue in cheek” response to your lament regarding Arizona’s decision to reelect McCain and the election of the turncoat Flake. We really didn’t have a choice as those candidates were chosen for us, not by us. It was either them or the far left candidates. The GOP operates much the same in California as you well know. Go along to get along.
I am located in the communist held south of Arizona despite having fled the gulag of California. The GOP went off my list with the last election. The fight has moved to my porch where you will find me enjoying coffee and a smoke while I await the inevitable assault.
Good luck with your effort to clear the wire on your way out.
