2. I won't condemn them

At least not totally.

There were many many people on this board from the Red states who were fighting hard, if not harder than us Blue state folks. I guess it really isn't really fair to condemn the whole state because the majority voted for the chimp.

I'm really too tired to be angry right now. I've been angry for 4 years, It didn't seem to do any good.

5. We hate that sum bitch in CA alright.
Oh ya, Jerkoff jones sure did good with that asshole Pet Terminator's stamp of approval, we love him in SF.

SF results:

Barbara Boxer (I) Democratic 207,646 82.6%
Bill Jones Repuke 32,554 12.9%

Statewide:

Barbara Boxer (I) Democratic 5,599,219 57.9%
Bill Jones Repuke 3,642,281 37.7%

All we have to do is get rid of that jerkoff gov.

6. I somewhat agree
My focus is now on making things in California fit to live, since the inmates are running the asylum in the rest of the country. I'm still an American, but my philosophy towards my actions now are that California is my country as far as making changes is concerned.

Yeah...that country...New York.

10. Arnold is an anomaly
Unless the GOP has a stable full of moderate/social liberal sounding, movie star candidates.

This election reaffirmed their status as minority party in this state.

12. Arnold has pleasantly been much better than I feared.
Not that I wouldn't rather have a nice progressive dem in there like Arianna, but I'd rather have him than Chimpy any day.

18. Yeah, actually I don't hate him as
much as I thought I would cause I don't think he is that much worse than the crook Davis was. At least arnie has Maria to soften the worst of any excesses he tries to get away with.

21. Arm the ag inspection stations at the border
Stop bankrolling the federal government. Let the red states pay for thier own moonpies and NASCAR.
No new TV and movies until we are recognized as autonomous.

15. My country is Secular America
We rule both coasts and the upper midwest, with pockets of like minded folks everywhere else.

Look at it this way: We now have a nation that is in large part Fundamentalist Christian, with a govt under the thumb of Fundamentaliost Christians, who took the first opportunity they had to lead us into a war in the Holy Land with equally Fundamentalist Muslims.

Almost sounds like the return of the dark ages, doesn't it?

19. Yeah, but with bigger and more powerful weapons.
People forget that England took the first crusade in Jerusalem handily, then started getting the shit kicked out of them later. The ME environment is harsh when it comes to sustaining and war out there. Plus, they have been fighting out there much longer than we have been a nation...

26. How Do I Change Citizenship?
I live in Utah, but I was born in California, as were my two sons.

Do I have dual citizenship?

Can I come back?

36. I'm a proud Californian ...
... but Califorrnia isn't exactly a paradise.

The voters of California went ga-ga over the Gropenator in the recall election last year.

The voters of California banned gay marriage in 2000.

The voters of California passed Prop 13, which has destroyed our public school system.

It's better than a red state, but it ain't the promised land, either.
