Los Angeles News Group Endorsement: Mitt Romney for president {PASADENA STAR NEWS!}
PASADENA STAR NEWS ^ | 10/27/12 | Los Angeles News Group "Pasadena Star News"

Four years ago, as America faced serious trouble at home and abroad, this news organization embraced the need for bold change to a different brand of leadership and endorsed Barack Obama for president. That assessment of the depth of the nation's problems and the most promising solution was correct in 2008. Regrettably, it applies no less in 2012, after nearly a full term of Obama's administration. This is why the editorial board urges voters to choose Mitt Romney for president in the Nov. 6 election. He is the leader this country needs for the future.

In Oregon, major papers are refusing to endorse anyone for potus. Considering how liberal they are, that is an endorsement for Romney.

I’m headed over to The Hat on Lake Ave. in Pasadena to celebrate with a pastrami cheeseburger, so my stomach can explode like the liberal wackos’ heads.

I decided to do some of my own independent polling.

I ventured into the cultural heart of Los Angeles, through Checkpoint Cholo, and found that among a combination of illegal, likely, unlikely and voters with five or more votes, Pedro, from NapOLEon Dynamite is going to win in a landslide as a write-in candidate.

Maybe this will make it OKAY for people to vote against obama. I guarantee there are lots of people who are going to vote for Romney who won’t admit it to anyone. Especially in California.

And another SO CA OMG!!!!!!


You mean , “SoCal” .

Whittier Daily News also has this same FULL PAGE endorsement, they are part of the Los Angeles News Group.

In SoCal, I don’t think young people would say OMG any more, my son would say, “Dude!”.

Am praying for Mitt Romney. I ask our new American saint, St. Kateri Tekakwitha, to ask our Lord on our behalf to save this great country of ours.

You both have valid points, but there is no single “Hispanic” population. Here in NJ we have several different groups of them, with their own traits & priorities. The more established ones are assimilated, and vote along the same lines as the larger American population; younger newcomers are here for the safety net, and breed to reap the benefits (it is amazing how many of the younger women are pregnant). Many of them are no longer Catholic, and attend storefront evangelical churches (if they attend any at all).

As for why California is Mexican today, it is probably because it was Mexican in 1845; when the US took territory from Mexico it didn’t have the ethnic cleansing that Britain had in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick when they won the war for Canada. The US probably continues to absorb Hispanic immigrants because in a gobal economy we are a nation of merely 300 million, competing with two Asian powers of over a billion people each; here in the northeast whole neighborhoods would be ghost towns if they didn’t let illegals fill them.

It is way beyond legalized abortion; many Americans have stopped breeding along the lines of Western Europeans, and we import Hispanics in the manner in which Europe imports Africans. Even if we outlawed abortion today, Americans won’t go back to the days of families; the Pope attributes it to selfishness, and I concur.

It’s treated that way because its a hopeless basket case.

Proposition 8
Eliminates the Right of Same-Sex Couples to Marry

For / Against
7,001,084 / 6,401,482
52.3% / 47.7%


Hmm, then how did the basket-case electorate figure this one out?  And why couldn't they figure other things out, if approached with a loud reasoned Conservative voice?

My god you elected Jerry Brown, AGAIN!


I did?  Oh really?

Here are the results of the 2010 Election specific to Jerry Brown.

Jerry Brown 5,428,149 53.8%
Meg Whitman 4,127,391 40.9%


Brown won the election by 12.9%.  So thrilled was the electorate with the choice between Whitman and Brown, that 5.3% of the voters went third party.  If we could have appealed to those voters, the spread would have been 7.6%.  That would mean that a swing of only 3.8% + 1 would have won this for the Libtard the California leadership foisted off on us.

I refused to vote of either of these idiots.

Don't blame Californians for getting it wrong, when we have the whole Democrat party and the California Republican Party leadership tag-teaming against us.  If you think I was going to vote for another idiot-stick Feaux-Conservative, you're crazy.

What was on the agenda in 2010?

1. We were coming off seven years of the Libtard Schwarzenegger(R)
2. We were lofting the Leftist likes of Meg (I so want you to believe I am a Conservative, even though I'm not) Whitman(R)
3. She was another McCain accolyte, a fraud from the word go as a Conservative

4. The state's Republican leadership thinks folks won't figure that out.  They're nuts.

In 2010 every state wide office went to the Rats.

Sure did.  You P off enough Conservatives, and a good number of them will stay home.  I voted for every slot except the top one, but others are so P'd off, they don't.  Frankly, I don't blame them either.  What's the use?  The better candidates are abandoned by the leadership.  It's an act of futility to even go to the polls.  Thankfully we vote for governor in off years.  If this vote would have taken place in 2008, Brown would have won by 20 + percent.

The rest of us don’t want our money being pissed down a rat hole, and it costs a fortune to compete there.


Presidential candidates of either party rarely campaign in California toward the end of the election season, given the state’s Democratic tilt. But it is a popular stop on the fundraising circuit, with its residents donating the most of any state to the 2012 presidential campaign. Romney has raised $19.3 million [in state]... LINK

You don't want your money wasted in our state?  LOL  Well, frankly I'd like our tens of millions spent in our state for a change.  Imagine that!

If our gubenatoral candidates are sound, the state leadership abandons them.  If they're Liberals, the state leadership pulls out all the stops to support them. Then the national leadership supports Leftists, and those Leftists couldn't make an effective appeal in the state even if they did show up here.

There is strong evidence that Californians are receptive to appeals on core issues.  Those appeals are never made.  And then I see folks come to the conclusion that Hispanics will not vote for our people.  Ridiculous.

Read up on what issues are important to Hispanics.  It might surprise you when you find out that illegal immigration fixes are not at the top of their list.  Despite this, we don't appeal to them on the matters they do care about, and do appeal for their votes on this issue.  LINK

The RNC is lost in space, and as it relates to California a lot of other people are too.

And of course, it's always good to know that folks caling themselves Conservative are in favor of surrendering states to the Left.  Our troops on foreign lands risking their lives for every inch of our soil, must be thrilled to know it.


Regulator:

You should discuss illegal immigration with Hispanics.  You'd be suprised to know that many of them are angry about it too.  Guess who the first people to lose jobs are, when they've worked their way up to a better position, only to be let go and replaced by illegal immigrants.  People in Mexico laugh at us.  They think we're the biggest idiots on the planet for allowing what we do.  A lot of Hispanics here do too.

 The Hispanics in California have family values. They value jobs. They want good education. Many are devout Christians

They want the Jefe (Caudillo) to take the money from the gringos and give it to them.  Some do.  Some don't.  What you forget is that there are plenty of Hispanics whose families have been here for genearations, who have worked hard to own their own homes and small/large businesses.  They too are negatively impacted by high crime and the burden of millions of moochers on our society.

A charming little family with their tattoos, spitting, and chattering in Spanish was next to me on the beach this morning. The venom in their eyes for me and my kid was obvious.  Yes, you're going to run into people like that.  But then what has our government done to: 1: Stop the flooding of our nation with foreign nationals? 2: Stop gang crime dead in it's tracks?

We should very seldom have to run into folks like that.  The fact that we do, is glaring proof that our government has abandoned us here.

The only "family values" they have ever demonstrated is "more of us, fewer of them".  Okay, once again, you are assuming that all Hispanics favor illegal immigration.  They don't.

Don't BS yourself. And by the way, can you give me a good answer why California should be majority Mexican?  Evidently you haven't seen one post (comment) of mine on the subject over the last 26 years.

From 1846 to 2010, that wasn't true. How is it possible that a foreign populace can simply lay claim to an American state, and we all cower in fear and acquiesce to it? 
Excellent question.  I've been asking the same thing for more than a quarter of a century.  Now that we have 20 - 35 million illegal immigrants here, good luck.  I recommend the following.

1. Stop all immigration dead in it's tracks for twenty to thirty years.  Make few exceptions as needed based on value of the individual to our society.
2. Place troops on our border with Mexico, and bullets in their weapons.
3. End all employment to illegal immigrants, on penalty of ten year prison sentences and the confiscation, shuttering of businesses.
4. If you have been here long enough to purchase property, you will be given twelve months to unload it.  Then go back to the nation of your origin, and take your children with you.

We didn't create this mess.  The illegal immigrant did.

Our government certainly contributed to it.  Hell, they subsidized it.

Interesting but I am a follower of Sun Tsu. Attack the enemies weak points.

I would like to see Romney ads here too but understand him going after the softer targets
