MANY MORE STICKER DESIGNS HERE

California has been dominated by Democrats at the federal, state, and local levels..like an addict, the state first has to hit absolute rock bottom before it can begin to recover. That they elected Moonbean shows that they’re still in denial.
To quote Mike Ratley of West Side Ford, in Firebaugh, CA,
"Those of us who work for a living are outnumbered by those who vote for a living."
We can thank Pete Wilson for beginning the process and George W. Bush for the final destruction of the California Republican Party. It will take a grass-roots revolt to fix it, yet the small business/landowner base is so busy just surviving all the regulations with which they have been saddled they don’t have the time or money to depose the entrenched “country club” interests who have been feeding off the system for decades.
If so, Republicans shouldn't waste a dime on the national campaign in CA and concentrate only on House and Senate races. CA is either lost to the (D)'s as we have come to expect or it is a win by default if we win elsewhere.
No downside and no money wasted.
FReegards!
I thought that California just passed a law saying the winner of the national popular vote will recieve it’s 55 Electoral College votes.
So CA might be voting RED whether they like it or not.
Maybe i’m wrong...
Not a chance in hell. California is a lost cause.
California going Republican? I am going to file this in the pipe dream file with the threads headlining blacks and Jewish people are going Republican.
I think the stupid rule of sending votes to the majority winner takes effect only if enough other states pass the same stupid law. Good thing California can find new ways to keep lawyers busy.
California is not and never will be a Battleground state. It will forever be a Plowed Under state buried in tons of Democrat doo doo.
Yep, they like the socialist system. Face it, a lot of the state is Mexican imports. The big cities are loaded with them.
Carley tried it, Meg Whitman tried it to no avail.
People should drop the delusions. Things have changed since Reagan, and to top that off there isn’t a Reagan anywhere in or out of this race.
Best for anyone on our side to spend funds on states where there might be a chance.
That's all the rage among the fascist collectivist-controlled states, but they generally enact it with a provision that it only goes into effect when states with electoral votes totaling 270 or more pass the same legislation. That way they don't lose their influence until they can drag the entire nation down into the collectivist commie sewage along with them.
Unless Kali can find a way to get tens of million of Mexicans to vote for a Republican, nope, not going to happen.
The Democrat DUng is sooooo deeeeeep heeeere it has drowned in the cesspool of excrement. Cleaning the political bowl will take way more toilet cleaner than you think....
It will forever be a Plowed Under state buried in tons of Democrat doo doo.”
lol! Nice coin of phrase there: Plowed Under State! Love it!
Plus...I'm sure if the rule caused them to send (R) electors, the rule would get challenged in court till the end of time. Rules like that are only inviolate when they benefit leftist collectivists.
Like in 2000, the Dems knew it would be close and envisioned the same scenario that happened but in reverse -- a electoral/popular split with Gore winning the electoral, and they were running around reminding everyone that it was the electoral results that counted. Then as soon as the results came in, all the Democrat scum started decrying the present system (because they lost).
Or like when the Dems were in the minority on both houses of Congress and you hear nothing in the media except stuff about how the voice of the minority must be taken into account (except you have to take it so much into account that they're actually in control), then when they win the majority, it's a mandate and "we won!"
Interesting that conservatives, 40 percent, outnumber liberal, 30 percent, and many independents, 29 percent, may lean conservative. Could we be seeing 1984 all over again?
The California voters keep voting the same people in over and over yet they expect change. Seems to me there is a name for people who keep doing the same thing over and over again but expect a different outcome.
I wish the authors of the article and the polling outfit gave an honest admission that must be understood about each and every one of the numbers for “disapprove” of Obama’s performance on any number of policy issues.
Among most Marxists, Progressives and Liberals who join those that check “disapprove” in the poll, THEIR disapproval is centered on their belief that Obama has not promoted THEIR KIND of policy prescriptions aggressively enough. Their disapproval is NOT that they wish Obama listened more to Conservatives and the GOP.
That “disapproval” from THEM may not translate into greater (than the past) approval, by them, for any GOP candidate.
At most it may increase their “voter apathy” come November 2012.
At best the numbers may mean some Left leaning “independents” could abandon the Dem agenda in November 2012.
Unless large numbers of “never voted before” and “independent” types become ACTIVE in wanting “change” in November 2012, I do not see Obama’s “disapproval” ratings translating to greater Conservative possibilities beyond the race for POTUS.
We have seen so often in the past how Liberal Democrat legislative office candidates - State and Federal - can track to the right in an election campaign, going “with the grain” in distancing themselves from a waning Dim POTUS contender, or tracking right on some “local” issue - holding onto their seats and blunting/stifling a Conservative change of the Executive branch.
I think the Conservative possibilities are something less than the authors are promoting.
