1. That's why it will be a shock when Ahnuld "pumps up" another

victory on the spankin' new electronic voting machines.

[ronnykmarshall]

2. 28% of my state

was dropped on it's head at birth.

[Kikosexy2]

13. Half of that...

28% must belong to Orange County...those nutjobs down there apparently love him and the other half must be from San Diego (by the bases)...well Californians always know that Repugs just screw up everything they touch...Gov. Groper is surely on his way out...Gov. Dr. Phil is "real in"...

[xxqqqzme]

15. I'll have you know, I was out

& about behind the orange curtain over the weekend. Rethuglicans are being very, very quiet down here. There once was this arrogant bravado that really pissed me off. They have gotten very quiet of late.

[Kikosexy2]

17. Seems like..

all Repugs have been very quiet...actually kinda nice, isn't it?

[sinkingfeeling]

3. OK, all you other states. Let's see if we can beat California. I'll try

to get Arkansas to 27% by next month.

[Taverner]

4. Surprising it's not 99.99999%

Seriously, I know lifelong Reagan Republicans who were against W since the creation of the DHS.

They voted Kerry in '04 (many of them wanted Dean)

[Newsjock]

5. In this undisclosed part of Very Red California ...

... very obviously brand-new "W'04" stickers are appearing on vehicles at an alarming rate. Expeditions, Escalantes, Hummers, you name it.

Wouldn't surprise me one bit if any of the area's various Six Flags Over Jesus are behind it.

[catabryna]

7. I'm surprised to hear you say that!

Because, just yesterday, I saw the same thing on I-5 in Stockton, CA. A brand-spanking new Bush-Cheney '04 bumper sticker on a new black Escalade. Nothing shocks me anymore...

[AX10]

20. Bush's hardcore base are losers. They need to make themselves...

feel good through self-denial.

[Raine]

11. Same here in Los Angeles County, yesterday

I saw a brand new Mercury with a brand spanking NEW W04 sticker!! :wtf:

[superconnected]

19. Its because the drivers are losers. They lose at everything in life.

The only thing they have to stand on is a president(loser) that gets in office and so it's their only affirmation that they've ever been right about anything.

I'm not kidding.

Why else would they go to the point of trying to re-affirm that they voted for dumbya and he won.

It may be the first and last positive affirmation those poor dumbshits ever have. Pity them.

21. digging in their heels

more willful ignorance!

[darthmix]

6. I swear, whoever our gubernatorial candidate ends up being,

he should plaster ads showing Arnold speaking at the RNC in 04 all over my TV.

8. Explains why Bush refuses to visit San Francisco

BUSH KEEPS S.F. AT BAY

President hasn't participated in 75-year tradition of visiting city -- and he has no plans to do so

Marc Sandalow, Washington Bureau Chief
Sunday, August 21, 2005



Washington -- Presidential visits to San Francisco have been a tradition since Rutherford Hayes lunched at the Cliff House in 1880.

Presidents arrived by stagecoach and jet. One was shot at. Another died. In all, 20 presidents have visited the city, including every chief executive for the past 75 years.

Except George W. Bush.

Now in the fifth year of his presidency, Bush has yet to set a foot in the city that was home to his childhood baseball idol, Willie Mays, and shows no inclination to do so.

<snip>

The reason seems plain to even casual observers of American politics.

San Francisco is as politically, culturally and geographically distant from the president as anyplace in America. Eighty-four percent of the city's voters cast ballots against Bush in 2000, and 85 percent voted against him in 2004. The city has voted Democratic in 12 consecutive presidential elections.

12. San Francisco Has A Perfect Place for **

[BrotherBuzz]

18. I'd rather he go swimming out at the Farallones

You know what I mean, Vern?

[xxqqqzme]

16. OMG - that's why my brother

loves raisin brain - they have the same baseball idol. Even though it wasn't even close to his job, my brother learned that Frigidaire was installing appliances @ Mays' house. He managed 2 find out who was installing and talked his way on2 the 'team'. He ended up getting his autograph.

[Jack Rabbit]

9. Is that all?

Gee, I would have thought it was in the eighties by now.

[0007]

10. What the fuck is it gonna take for Barney to run away and for

Laura to jump in bed with Kim Jong IL


Looks like love to me!

14. I Love Californians

I really do. Generally, they are some of the smartest, open-minded people in the U.S. They're really, really, cool people, and they get it. They totally get it.
