Good news? The Jerry Brown tipping point…
Orange Punch, The Orange County Register political commentary blog ^ | 5-24-2012 | Mark Landsbaum

We don’t want to get anyone’s hopes up, but there may be some good news in the most current poll by the Public Policy Institute of California, that left-leaning outfit that insists it isn’t left-leaning.

“For the first time in a major California poll since Brown took office, a plurality of likely voters disapproves of the job he is doing,” according to the poll released Wednesday. “The margin is pencil-thin – 43 percent disapprove while 42 percent approve – but follows more than a year of relatively favorable marks for the Democratic governor.”

Isn’t it encouraging. . .

I disapproved of the job he was going to do even before he took office

All Moonbeam has to do is double spending and give welfare to everyone and he will be liked by all again.

Toss in a rail system for good measure.

Old Jer gets the bad news and discusses it with his dog Sutter.......

Old Jer - “Well, Sutter, 43% of the people disapprove of the job I’m doing.”

Sutter - “Woof”

Old Jer - “I know....I can’t believe it either. What am I going to do?”

Sutter - “Woof”

Old Jer - “That’s it! Brilliant! We just need Democrat math. Those 43% disapprove because I’m not doing enough socialist stuff, so, actually, 85% like me! Now, how do I run more taxpayers out of California?”

Sutter - “Woof”

Old Jer - “No, I don’t think hitting them with a rolled-up newspaper will work.”

So the majority of Kookifornians disapprove of MoonBeams job performance but is that actually a positive thing? Governor MoonBeam is definitely a problema but not nearly as much as the puppets who legisitale from Sacto. The state is bleeding heavily and all they do is apply bandaids.

The democrats in the California legislature are much worse than Moobeam. Most of the democrats in California are worse than Brown and Barbara Boxer. I know that is hard to believe, but it is true.

That’s only 85%, so 15% don’t know/aren’t sure.

I guess everyone is disappointed Gov. Brown hasn’t found the money-tree forest yet, but 40%+ think he should keep looking.

I don’t know enough about Greece to blame their entire situation on the Greek people (but I suspect it is their fault), but California is a state in the US. I’ve never been there, but it’s not a foreign land.

What’s happening in that state is ENTIRELY the fault of the people who live there.
