"It shouldn't surprise Republicans that when they stand for nothing, the voters cease to stand with them," said Rep. Tom McClintock,And there you have it.
What’s to ponder? Republicans can not win national elections n California. It’s a money pit. Let nature take it’s course.
California has crossed the tipping point where way too many voters are on the public teat—either dependency programs or public workers. The dwindling productive class is no longer in control of its own destiny if it stays in California. They will be taxed to death until the Ponzi scheme finally grinds to a halt at some point within the next decade or two. Then, of course, they will scream for a federal bailout to keep the scam going. That is the battle we have to be ready for.
Every Republican paid for the Legislature’s agreement to raise taxes as part of the 2009 state budget deal. “It damaged the brand,”
Now that is rich..what do they think Moonbeam is going to do?
Idiots
Well, I can think of at least three reasons.
Arnold.
Arnold.
And Arnold.
The Terminator has presided over an absolute disaster. Worse than Gray Davis.
Ultimately, you can blame this one on Karl Rove, who persuaded Bush not to back Bill Simon when he won the primary against their chosen left-wing Republican. Then they put a DC RINO in charge of the California party. Then they jumped in and stuffed Arnold in as their designated candidate after real conservatives removed Gray Davis from office.
Why should Californians think that Republicans can fix their mess? How’d Arnold do at that job? Thanks, Karl. Great job losing that unique opportunity to turn California around.
TEA PARTY LOSES BIG IN CUBA!
AHNOLD The Gubernator.
His legacy - GOP vincibility.
To our good conservative friends in California:
Please get out while you can...
That’s what you get when you nominate extreme right wing tea party types like Meg Whitman and Carly Fiorina instead of moderates like Arlen Specter and Michael Bloomberg.
John and Ken talk radio show became a bash Meg Whitman
every day, every hour event. I had to stop tuning in. They claimed not to like Brown either, but most of their rants were against Whitman.
Republicans ponder big loss in California
A more appropriate headline would be: Californians ponder future losses without Republican leadership.
Why did the NRSC spend 8 million on moderate Florina, alone. That money could have helped the ground game in NV & CO.

There is no excuse for conservatives to stay in CA to serve as hosts to the exploding number of tax-sucking parasites who have infested their state. Take your money to a state that is sensible. There are many to choose from.
Some say we need more “moderate” candidates. Meg Whitman was a very consistently moderate candidate.
Some say we need more “conservative” candidates. Fiorina toed all the marks for a conservative.
So I don’t think it is the moderate vs. conservative question that is at play here.
I think the biggest factor is union politics. Large, heavily funded, very active in the voting effort.
Perhaps factor number two is illegal voting.
CA has their corrupt dem machine of unions and paid-for politicians in place, they’re ready for the rapid descent into becoming north Mexico.
They might as well elect leaders of drug cartels next.

Then you have the largest government employee union base in the country that easily out spend Whitman. They always send hundreds of millions into campaigns and buy lots of ads making emotional pleas that especially the women in our state fall for every time.
I think there is a built in automatic 39% of the vote from all the people on welfare or workfare with the government, so when there is an election, all the Democrats have to do is get 11% +1 vote. The others have to get 50% + 1 vote.
The stupidity or selfishness of the voters here almost outshine the illegal immigration problems of the state.
You have people here that vote the demise of business here and are willing to vote themselves higher taxes.
Now IMO the votes like that are from people who don't make money. As more and more leave the state that do have money, the pain will work it's way down IMO and the people of the dole will have their hands out all the way down to the dust IMO.
This is actually good. When California gets to be even more of a sinkhole they can’t point to one conservative to blame. Yay, epic fail!
