Yes I know there are great Freepres trapped in the Left Coast, but I can't justify boycotting one socialist country in favor of a socialist state! What say you guys?

[CheneyChick]

Stupid idea.

Cheers, CC in CA :)

Won't you have to boycott FreeRepublic.com? The Free Republic server is located in Californistan.

[halley]

Sign me up. I left there two years ago because it was so sick and twisted. A beautiful state gone bad... ruined in fact.

[Cool Guy]

No.

CG from SF Bay Area.

Dumb Idea ... Discovery Bay Calif

[Ken522]

Don't do it - Camp Pendelton is there, as is the San Deigo Navy Yard and numerous other Army and Air Force installations.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Hey! Mo.....lookie here for our next fundraiser!

There are three national labs in the Bay Area, all of them doing research and development of the tools needed to fight terrorism, such as sensors used to detect biological and chemical weapons. Do you really want to boycott the economy which makes it possible for those scientists to continue to live here? THINK!

[lainie]

First off, is Hollywood the number one export?

Secondly, everything else you stated occurs in far more states than just one.

[reformed_dem]

No. You'll have no good wine.

Are you from DU??? we'd have to boycott FR then, because it's in California.

Politics here has micro-climates, it really wouldn't be fair to boycott California.

QUITE FAIR, ON THE OTHER HAND, TO BOYCOTT FRANCE.

The protesting hippies in California should be taken care of by law enforcement:
1. Don't cripple the police force.
2. Gitmo-like conditions for the protestors interfering with those of us with jobs trying to go about our work.

[xJones]

This would be a bummer for Jim Robinson, you know, the FR website owner guy? He has lives in Fresno.

[Dog Gone]

Naw, invade California and drive the leftists into the sea. It's lots more fun.

Given time, the 'RATs nest will finally be fumigated in Sacremento. We may even elect a Republican for Governor, given Gray Davis' miserable track record, even among those who voted for him. Even at the end of a long, dark tunnel there's light at the end.

There is a great vast Central Valley of California that is very conservative. The problem in California is that you have enough votes(not necessary voters) in LA, SF and other coastal areas to offset the votes of the good conservatives.

Instead support either spliting California or instituting an all California Electorial college based on counties. You would find that the liberal nuts would no longer be in control.

In other words, BAD IDEA

[knews_hound]

If you check the Red and Blue map you will find that only a tiny portion of California is Democrat and most of that is unlike the unfair characterization that you make here.

Judging by you criterion most of New York state, and certainly the city itself should also fall of the edge of the earth. And lets not forget Seattle, ALL of Oregon, Massachusetts, Florida and the list goes on and on.

Of course, the paradise on earth you live in has no troubles at all.

NO

Recall that almost every county except some in the Bay area and LA went for Simon in the last Governor's race. CA has almost the same number of Republicans as leftists.

[cabbieguy]

Living in the peoples republic of Minnesota I am familiar with the misery many conservatives in Calif. are going through. Lets give it time, even here in MN we elected a conservative Gov., Repbulican senator (not my idea af a conservative, but he isn't bashing the president at least, and took control of our state house away from the democRATS, so lets see if Calif. can come to their senses in the next election.

[bwteim]

Nope, too many good folks like CC in CA :)

Get a life.
