The CA voters got hosed. Brown like so many others used fraud to obtain his office.

I really and truly and desperately want to see what happens to CA. I have been reading since THE SEVENTIES!!!! about this state or that state being on the brink of bankruptcy and complete and total meltdown and anarchy, kids eating Grandma in the street just to get food and burning her body to stay warm, etc... But it NEVER EVER EVER happens. Can anybody tell me why not? Do these states always get bailed out by the Fed, i.e., me and you? When will the day of reckoning truly come? It’s beginning to seem that liberalism is a GREAT deal, live forever on printed money, promises, other people’s money, and pensions, and never suffer the consequences.

” and California exits left “

And I wonder how many of California’s few remaining businesses will be ‘exiting stage right’...

The Giant Sucking Sound could be deafening......

The Republicans in Congress must build a fiscal fence around California.

When their SEIU and AFSCME lead Government send the State down the toilet, it must be clear California is responsible for their own mess.

They still believe that crap about “as California goes, so goes the nation”. Poor things haven’t bothered to notice that nobody, I mean NOBODY is following them anymore.

Actually, the reverse is true. California is true Marxist red.

Mexifornia is lost. The only good it might do is as a demonstration piece of the foils of Marxism and free immigration.

This settles it- californians are crazy. Of all the demonRATs they could have put in the state house, they picked THIS one? Moonbeam started them down the road to ruin, so they put him back in to finish the job?

I hope Brown is prepared- the American people will NOT bail him out when CA goes right down the tube.

California and New York made their choices - They chose tax and spend while the rest of the country went for reductions. Now California and New York can drown in their own bile. Don’t look for help from the rest of the country. There is no reason to try to help those who won’t help themselves.

Sure like to see the breakdown of voters (welfare recipients, government employees, single mothers, illegals?).

Great Job California. A guy who admitted he had no plan and lied to the electorate in his first Governorship in CA, just got another chance. Proof that being a scumbag is a Dem resume enhancement! And Boxer? My god people!

The Democrats now own California, and the public employee unions own the Democrats.

The good news is there will not be any budget “deadlocks” since there is no one to stand in the way of more taxes. And to Democrats “more taxes” is the answer to every question.

My only question is will they try to repeal Prop 13 as a whole, or do it in steps with businesses first?

Conservatives voted for Whitman because she wasn't Jerry Brown.

This is where the GOP fails. Progressive-lite always loses to the true believers like Moonbeam. I don't know how conservative Whitman is but it sounds similar to what we have here in CT. McMahon was a RINO defeated by a true Marxist. Overall it was a great night especially in the South & Midwest. Now let's see what the GOP will do. They can compromise with Hussain and tinker with 0bamacare OR they can at least try to defund it and tear it out at the roots. One choice makes the GOP a minor party , the other will save both the GOP and the country.

CA deserves whatever happens to it after last night’s results.

And no. No I don’t want CA to get any damn taxdollars from Wash. to bail it out. So shut your stupid pieholes you sadistic boo birds who want to pile on CA FReepers about CA sliding into the Pacific, being expelled from the USA, etc., ad nauseum.

I want EVERY Californian to feel the pain that is coming. I want them to scream, wail, gnash about the pain.

Only when each and every Californian [most especially the stupid liberals and dems] feels the pain that is caused by these results will there ever be a chance to reverse this.

But for now, my plan is working. Dems are in power. They OWN everything bad that’s going to happen. Snicker.

Pissed off? That doesn’t even come close to how I feel right now.

P.S. Oh yeah, to save you the time looking at my home page to figure out if I have any standing about what I’m saying, I’ve been a resident of CA since ‘95.

Conservatives voted for Meg and Carly becuz our state party is so inept, it can’t tell the difference between defeat and the status quo nor seek to change either.

And once—since it is inevitable—California comes to Washington hat in hand for money to finance their deficits, I will travel to Washington (it’s only 100 miles from here) and leave a message in person to my representatives.

Oh yes, the message will not in support of California. Those people are unbelievable. They never learn.

Kaliforia gets it's just desserts with Moonbeam.

What business leadership experience does he have? None. All government work.

Kalifornia's turn for the worse began when Moonbeam was last Governor of the once great state (1974 - '82). The beginning of the end for that poor state.

When Cali goes bankrupt and begins defaulting on its obligations the new Congress had better break out the popcorn and ignore their cries for a bailout.

The piper needs to be paid and the piper is NOT the rest of the American people.
