California is a Democratic-Party catastrophe.

[WillowTree]

Not that I credit the DEMS for making California the golden state, or anything, but the fact is that California still has the largest economy in the nation.

Califonria GSP is the 8th largest economy on earth.

yep....and that should matter to many out there......if we go....a few others of you will be sucked down that hole with us...but dont worry....people like Pelosi and Boxer getting re-elected has to be a plus.....right?.....

See? that's what puzzles me so much, the state is fucked up but the people keep on re electing the fuck ups. We'll see if that changes today.

A democratic catastrophe that's had a republican governor for how many years?

As pointed out the legislature largely controls things there. And the legislature has been solidly Democratic forever.
Arnold was the best governor CA had. Right up until he was sworn in.

Not that I want them bailed out but saying Demos are the cause is over simplifying things. After all, there are Republicans in that government.

Yep, and it took real bipartisan effort to completely fuck up a perfectly wonderful state. This is the main reason why I treat both parties with a huge amount of disrespect.

when it was bipartisan Cali things were much better.....when one side has the heavy majority....and i dont care what side.....things start going bad.....you need a balance....same lesson we should be learning with what has been going on in the Country as a whole for the last 10-15 years....

So, the Republican "Governator" has had ZERO impact on the state, or are you all simply giving yet another Republican a pass?

He's a spineless RINO, and refuses to make the hard decisions needed for kullyfornia.

A Republican, nonetheless.

Not by any definition I know. He's a spineless turd.

kullyfornia could solve ALL their problems if they cut off all the freebies to the illegal aliens and started deporting them. Will they do that? Never. Consequently kullyfornia will always be a train wreck. There really is nothing they can do that will help other than that.

Arnold had no problem not signing legislation he didn't agree with.

quite eloquently, too.

when Arnie was running for the office....he was the greatest Governor this State ever had....he was going to stop spending tell the public the names of the Legislators who dont want to stop and a whole bevy of other things.....6 months in he lets them walk all over him.....im not saying he hasnt done a few things good or bad which has had a little effect on the State.....but basically he is just part of the crowd up there.....and i dont see Brown or Whitman having any better luck.....Jerry says he will stop the spending....yea...well we will see...

Of course they hate Arnold.

Turned out he wasn't the TERMINATOR they'd hoped.

That was sure not what the right said when he was first elected.
They were so elated they wanted to change things so he could be president.

Liberals ran the state into the ground. Don't matter a hairy rats ass how many times you call people loons and freaks, liberals ran the fucking state right into the ground.

The right sure is a hopeful bunch. Flopping from one "this is THE one" to another as each fail to satisfy them. But they seem to lose no enthusiasm with each one.

Ever since the 70's huh. Wasn't Reagan Governor in the 70's?

Kind of like the Democrats??

If I was going to give the world an enema, I'd stick the tube in California.

Wasn't Reagan the guv in the 70's?
