California is in a giant hole. And on Tuesday, voters ordered up a fresh round of shovels.

This is the woman who gushed that “Barack Obama is the man God has sent us at this time.”

At least San Fran Nan was right on that one--we got exactly what we deserved.

Pete Stark has the ignominious distinction of having told a constituent to her face that the federal “government in this country can do most anything.”

He also told a constituent
“Thank you,’’ Stark replied, “but I wouldn’t dignify you by peeing on your leg. It wouldn’t be worth wasting the urine.’’

I think they voted for the candidate they thought would let the frat party go on the longest.

There is one really BAD paragraph in this article:

To put icing on this purely poisonous cake, Madame Boxer was running against a candidate – Carly Fiorina – who had the rest of us in the other 49 drooling in envy. If only we had had such a powerhouse woman willing to serve us in the U.S. Senate. Not only is Ms. Fiorina an uber-competent, she is brilliant in both the technical and common sense realms. This woman, Carly Fiorina, held in her lovely hand the power to redeem California in the eyes of the other 49 in one fell swoop.

Whats stupid about voting yourself a larger paycheck?

The greed of the parasite class is California's problem.

It just KILLS me that even though the highest issue of polled voters was job creation and the economy these fools STILL voted for Boxer.
I mean, HELLO, in all of her years in the senate has her cause EVER been creating jobs? Even once?

To be fair I don’t think MA did a whole lot better. They added Republicans to their state house, but didn’t put a single Republican in their DC delegation or into a state-wide position of power [i.e.: auditor, treasurer, governor, etc].

With the gop controlling the House, there will be no bailout if California goes bankrupt. So, could anyone explain to me what form that bankruptcy would take. Would a court take over payments to creditors? Would a judge decide who to pay. Would all the pensions be void? What would actually happen? I ask because California is technically bankrupt, just waiting to file the papers.

What they did that was most stupid is rejecting the pot measure.

I really wanted that to pass as there would be many liberals in Austin moving to CA, thus improving my state.

I think this video accurately describes the voting in California. (It’s Monty Python’s Flying Circus...)

This is what you get when you make citizens in amnesty out of a nearby country's hillbillies.
Then ad hiring government employees at 300% of normal wages with ungodly benefits.

We appear to be beyond the 50% tipping point of people voting with their hands out for other people's money.
