I’m not trying to be rascist but I think it is halarious how some people who don’t work but complain about taxes complain. Illegal aliens seem to do that quite a bit. Overcrowding is the reason for most of our countries poverty just think about it: In public school’s you have to print multiple language EVERYTHING which is a waste of paper, money, and trees. So many unemployed people means higher taxes, and the list goes on. By all means you can call me a rascist but i’m just stating the facts

The majority of Californians elect their governors as they do their presidents and other official: by the politicians’ public image and by their rhetoric. We haven’t necessarily voted for someone because we agree with the person’s beliefs or actions. We are lied to, and we have been lazy. I am one of the reasons we have the representatives we presently have. I am of that majority. I have never been very politically vocal, and only mildly reactive. Now the results of my ignorance has injured and awakened me. I am angry and I am looking for avenues not only to vote AGAINST incumbents, but see to it that the malefactors be brought to justice. Schwarzenegger is a RINO, and not governing as a Conservative, much less a Republican. California representatives are an embarrassment to our state, as Obama is an embarrassment to our country. Boxer and Feinstein are, plain and simple, intelligent, manipulative nuts. At least Obama is sincere ….though sincerely anti-Constitutional to the point of treasonous. Quit intellectualizing and rationalizing! Go beyond the tainted and biased news, and do some research yourself. Internet, people! It’s what I did, when I first noticed a man I had hopes for, for president….until I read of Senator Obama’s voting record, associations, and actions. I changed my mind. Now I expect to be attacked. When Liberals cannot back up what they say with facts, they smear.

The republican governor has a hard time dealing with a Democrat state congress and population. There is no way he would have been elected if he was truly a fiscal rightist or libertarian. Had Californians supported less spending and less taxation, California’s state govt would have enacted on that policy. Popular belief rules in a Democracy, so the outcome of popular high spending policies can only be blamed on the people of California for they elect their governors based on their belief – beliefs which do not correlate to the fiscal ideologies of his respective party.

I went to the one in Santa Monica by the pier. There were 100-150 people on a street corner bothering traffic with home made signs and big flags and no real organization. On a per capita basis there was a lot of news coverage and police for a nonevent. A skateboarding demonstration in the beach parking lot was better organized and had a bigger turnout. The Tea Day protest was a libertarian event and not a republican event, with demonstrators arguing among themselves, and a really stiff ocean breeze blowing things around and making it hard to hear.

One t-shirt said George Bush for President and he wasn’t kidding. One t-shirt was for Ron Paul. Another said “I’m Tea’d Off At” followed by donkey and elephant symbols.

I asked for a No on 1A sign, and was given the stack with instructions to pass them out. Half the people there did not know what 1A is about.

The OC “crowds” look pretty similar by the pics I’ve seen. Bottom line is we should be having a revolution but we’re not.

Seems like there are a few so-called Libertarians who rage and see racism around every corner.

Not to mention a strange tendency towards anti-religious bigotry.

Hardly the “freedom or religion” normal Libertarians recognize.

And funny how Art has no trouble ignoring the responsibility of the “federal” executive, but enjoys pointing to the “state” executive. and we call know he’d be calling out how minorities are “hardest hit” and the racism of not passing a Demoncrat budget.

Actually, as an addendum to the above, I’m not entirely convinced we’d be any better off (at least fiscally) had McCain won.

I hate to sound pessimistic, but California seems completely lost at this point. (With exception of a relatively few counties the majority of the state is a mess.) Any hope I hold out for America is centered in other states. Especially considering that Washington seems to like the California approach to budgets. Both republicans and democrats (ha no surprise there) are actively flushing the country down the toilet and have been for some time. The real sad part to all of this, is that the country elected Obama and now is suddenly “shocked” at what he’s doing. Congratulations folks! You get what you deserve!

John,

You are right that an immigrant screwed up California, but he is an Austrian, not a Mexican. And he is white, not brown.

Recall Arnold!
