Just one other element you neglected to mention: the illegal immigrants in this country.

Who’s side do you think they’ll be on when the bombs fall and the shooting starts??

Democrats are responsible for the 1995 Community Reinvestment Act that forced banks to loan to people who could not pay their loans back. Clinton guaranteed the banks a tax payer bail out if the banks fell into trouble because of it. Look it up.

The banks have run out of free money give away to "the poor", and now they want the guaranteed tax payers money the Democrats promised them. They obeyed the law, and it's time for the tax payers to pay up on all those bogus loans to "the poor."

700 billion is a lot of money, but the free hand out piggy bank has run empty and has to be refilled. The 1995 Community Reinvestment Act is still the law, and "the poor" still want their free handouts. They've got mortgages to pay, so cough up the cash, folks. It's time for you to once again pay off the Democrats bills.

Do you know how they found out how many calls, I would love to check other’s.

They either use electronic call counters, entering the data for or against into a database, or do it by hand.

I too would love to see the call statistics from other states.

Just recently, in 2004, over one MILLION more Californians voted for Bush than did Texans.

Some might have regretted it...lol

Fact is, California has more conservatives than ANY state.

That doesn't matter much when there are more liberals in California than conservatives...and it is a winner take all state.

Oh yes it does matter my friend. Ya see, you or anyone is free to write off anything they choose.

Just know that those in the trenches, on the front lines take note of who supports them and who does not. It does matter.

We are supposed to be a united people, that unfortunately now has been diluted by communist, and anti-American, leftist types. We all know this and California is not isolated in this regard.

Never sell out your brothers and sisters, especially in a state that holds more conservative patriots than *any* state.

They need all the help and support they can get, just as you folks in Idaho need our support and backing.

Do you think Feinstein cares about the calls that came in? They just looked at them as a nuisance.

Once again, of course not.

These people are closer to dictators they representatives. America needs to rise up against the arrogant that hold the reins of power, then they need to be fully investigation and prosecuted. Feinstein and her husband are elite globalist that have made tens of millions off the backs of the American people.

Our local elections sometimes have as few as 400 votes total. Every vote matters. I did my conservative duty while a resident of California...before I could vote and afterward.

This is one of the major reasons why the U.S. is truly becoming a socialistic third world country forever: the future assiduous influx of illegal immigrants that will truly be taking full advantage of all future amnesty for illegal immigrant programs that are truly created throughout the entire U.S., by either a President Obama or by a President McCain. Illegals will also truly be eventually allowed to vote in all future U.S. elections, and they truly won’t be supporting, as a majority, any true conservative politicians at any political level at any time in the future! The entire U.S. as a country is truly screwed, no matter who the next POTUS is.

Yet you imply that over 1 MILLION *more* Californians voting for Bush in '04 than did Texans, really doesn't matter, as you trash the state, because you were brave enough to run away.

You readily write California off, but suggest that 400 voting in Idaho matters in the big scheme.

Very odd.

I guess if only 199 out of the 400 vote they way you want in Idaho, the rest of the country can just write you off too.

It's easy to run away to some small obscure town, then beat your chest about how politically powerful you are with 400 votes. Somebody might buy that.

Feel free to write off whom ever you choose, at your own risk.

I was simply tired of overcrowding and socialist government. Not to mention gunshots all night, drug deals down the street and gang graffiti all over my neighborhood. Why would I chose to stay in a crap hole like that. Mira Mesa went downhill in a big way over the 18 years I lived in that house. Since leaving, my kids have learned that some of their peers have been killed in drive-by shootings...down the street from our old house.

I relocated my middle son to my vacant 2nd house in Pocatello after the Mexican mafia executed someone 100 feet from his front door (Eastlake area). The other occupant of the car was kidnapped, beaten and dropped a mile away. That was last February.

It's a free country. I'll live where I chose. I prefer Idaho. I have no obligation to continue to live in California nor enrich the socialists in Sacramento.

Gunshots, drivebys, Mexican Mafia, kidnappings, graffit, drug deals Sounds like you lived in the middle of freaking ghetto in Detroit, lol..

My family has been in Cal for 4 generations, and none to my knowledge have ever been a victim of violent crime. But I did have bicycle stolen when I was about 10 years old.

You whine about crime in San Diego when the fact is San Diego is a shinning city on a hill filed with church members compared to crime in other major cities like Dallas Texas etc.

Don't believe me? Check out the stats yourself. If ya can't find them, I'll show you myself.

San Diego is an extremely safe city compared to almost any major city in other states. I've lived in San Diego, and have many friends that live in and around the San Diego area. As far as big cities go, San Diego is a very nice town.

I lived in San Diego continuously from 1969 to 2002. Previously, I lived in Imperial Beach 1959-1961, Chula Vista 1963-1964 and 1965-1966. It was a lovely place in the 60's and 70's. No more. You're seeing things through rose colored glasses and blinders. Certainly you can find places that are worse. You can also find places that are orders of magnitude better. I opt for the latter.

I did look at stats before I moved. I know where to find them. It's better in my current location.

So we kill it in the house.

The House just passed this.

Of course we knew they would.

The ruling elite in D.C. were going to bailout their wealthy buddies on Wall Street regardless of what the American people wanted.

This should should be no surprise to anyone.

The politicians represent themselves and their wealthy friends, not the American people.
