Too bad folks didn't or wouldn't get the message.

It seems that they were blinded by Arnold's "star power". I wonder if they're realizing they made a bad decision in electing a faux conservative.

I heard today that there's only 107 million left down there. So that's at least 13 million that made itsnuck up here...

[JasonC]

And technically this is a piece of transparent fiction, aka a great whoppping lie.

[NormsRevenge]

maybe after the NEXT round of borrowing , some will, maybe

Hay Churtle! Sovereignty is exactly like virginity!! You can't surrender little pieces of it here and there!!!

Sovereignty is exactly like virginity!! You can't surrender little pieces of it here and there!!!

Now that is a keeper!

Tom's our resident "voice in the wilderness".
Too bad folks didn't or wouldn't get the message.

Agreed. Of all our losses last November, that one was the hardest to take.

Hey! The dream in America amongst liberals was to make up for the Indian "genocide" by melding them into the American "melting pot!" On of the Marines erecting that flag over Iwo Jima was an Indian!!!

Now, with "diversity" the raging inflamation amongst liberals, the so-called sovereign entities that used to be reservations are rapidly being converted into criminal enterprises completely isolated from the surrounding communities like little cancers that metasticize the wages of the working CA poor in the name of supposed "self-sufficiency" for Indians whose little socialistic empires are getting filthy rich!!!

There have even been gun battles in the Clear Lake region between two of these criminal enterprises completing for the loot of their "oppressors!" What a potent pantload!!! But this is the kind of crappola that Liberals create with their fantasies and foolishness!!!

This is THE one area that I disagree with McClintock, vehemently!!!

[NormsRevenge]

Yup... That and seeing the parental notification getting shot down..

[SierraWasp]

CA should at least have a "Gaming Commission" like NV. Now there's a "box" that Arnold should have created instead of the Sierra-Nevada CONservancy!!!

[NormsRevenge]

..and eminent domain

[calcowgirl]

We kinda have one... they just don't do much.

California Gambling Control Commission

Careful what you ask for--they may bring you the SNC Spanking Control Commission.

[tubebender]

state could brink on bankruptcy in 18 months

That right there qualifies him to serve in the Senate...

[SierraWasp]

"the SNC Spanking Control Commission"

OMG!!! Now you've gone too far!!! (smirk)

[calcowgirl]

I don't know whether to laugh or cry over that one.

[calcowgirl]

...reservations are rapidly being converted into criminal enterprises completely isolated from the surrounding communities

I noticed that too.

This is THE one area that I disagree with McClintock, vehemently!!!

I agree with the principle he applied, but disagree in the reality of it. The tribes hooked up with organized crime quite some time ago and it's only getting worse. The state has only helped them grow and done very little to stand in the way of the ever-growing criminal enterprise.

I read in the North County Timnes about two weeks ago that 40% of the medical births are to women who are here illegally. The last figure I saw on total services to illegals was $10 billion per year.

Since illegals are sending billions back to Mexico, it's easy to see why the scale is so out of balance.

[Carry_Okie]

I get the distinct impression Tom didn't like being lied to.

[NormsRevenge]

He has stayed true to his core principles thru turbulent times. Would that some others could say the same.
