[The Citizen Soldier]

I have lived in California for over 50 years and all I can say is that this article is pure bullshit! Sorry, but that is what it is. The simple reason Republicans cannot win is that we are competing with 1-2 million illegal votes every election cycle!!

The polls, right up to election eve, had most every significant statewide race within 4 points, many with the Republican leading. Then on election day we lose every one of these races by ten points. Bullshit!!

Until illegals are marched out of this state back to where they came from, the state will be hopelessly democrat/socialist.

Won't matter to me much longer, cause the 'missus' and I are starting to make our plans to exit.

With prop 32 (greenhouse gas initiative), and newly passed props that allow state legislature to raise taxes with simple majority vs. 2/3 previously required, this state is doomed!! The next four years will show the rest of the nation what one-party rule looks like. $25 billion in the red will quickly grow to $40 billion while the state looks for federal bailouts again and again.

Simple economics says you can't drive away business after business while growing government services year after year. Jerry Brown campaigned to the right of Ronald Reagan. Let's see how 'Moonbeam' governs. All too soon we will be saying,

Adios muchachos...

You have it wrong on the latter. The 2/3 requirement to raise taxes is intact. What was dumped was the 2/3 requirement to pass a budget.
