California screwed.....

[Wry Catcher]

they called it already for boxer and brown.....I gotta get a second job...

I heard a rumor that Pelosi lost.

Is that true? I didn't even think she was running.

There is no polite way to say this, I'll try.
Every two years every member of the House of Representatives runs for office. Every two years, if you've read the Constitution you would know this. It is fundamental and something even a 5th grader would know.

How is it possible to screw yourself? The voters spoke. What you should do is move. Find a friendly non liberal state.

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Whitman was a horrible candidate and Fiorina refused to do what it took to win.

The Republican Party in Fornicalia is as big a joke as the CO GOP.

whitman never used browns past against him systemically.

".....systemically."?????

You 'Baggers need to avoid using words you don't understand.

Ya' know WHY she never used his past, don't you??

'Cause, it would have ended HER campaign......IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!​

Brown's History, Personality Lead To VICTORY​

"The longtime politician played to California's historic tendency to elect veteran officeholders and send first-timers to the sidelines."

Watch & LEARN, rookies!!

(...And, start preppin' for that NEW ECONOMY TSUNAMI, as a RESULT!!!)

If you're too-YOUNG to remember the '90s-economy, you're gonna LOVE this RE-RUN!!!!!!!

CA is definitely frelled.

The only hope is that DC not bail out the state so that the moonbat regime will be held accountable for the effects of insolvency (caused by the programs they promoted).

Such an implosion would be poetic justice if it happened with Governor Moonbeam in office as he is the one who signed the legislation which enabled the union takeover of the state in the first place.

things cannot get better. arnold did try to push through a number of proposals etc. he got his head handed to him, special interests beat back what appeared to be a gov. early in his term riding his popularity, will Brown even bother? No, hes not ideologically predisposed to any of those initiatives start with and he owes them.


another example of shooting ourselves in the foot; prop 23 was defeated, which means prop 32 will now go into effect, ( the GW initiative, assuming we live in some hermetically sealed bubble and solar can stand on its own as a bus. ) prop 32 was deemed toxic to bus. interests and an agreement not to employ it unless we had unemployment below 5.5% for a year was put aside because we just had to have to NOW!!!!!!!!

The same solar co's who live off of subsidies financed its defeat which is in the end self defeating, whos going to invest in residential solar requiring a capital expense of many thousands when unemployment is over 12% and over 20% in some areas?

[Trajan]

back to sanity, lets see; the AFT and NEA among other public unions went all in on prop 25, according to their wishes which passed.


whats prop 25? prop 25 overturned the 2/3's budget approval requirement. now, a simple majority will do it.....

why would the unions go all in? figure it out, the pols will now pay them off. just keeping the billions of underfunded pensions, benes etc. whirligig alive with little to no restraint.


To keep their promises to retirees, the $216.4 billion California Public Employees’ Retirement System, the $131.8 billion California State Teachers’ Retirement System and the $45.9 billion University of California Retirement System may have combined liabilities of more than 5.5 times the state’s annual tax revenue by fiscal 2012, according to the study released Tuesday by the Milken Institute. Levies are forecast to reach about $89 billion in the year that began July 1.

The same solar co's who live off of subsidies financed its defeat which is in the end self defeating, whos going to invest in residential solar requiring a capital expense of many thousands when unemployment is over 12% and over 20% in some areas?

Here's how they'll drive people to it who really can't afford it:

The electrical grid in CA is so archaic and inadequate, that continued neglect will make delivery of electricity increasingly problematic. After enough brown outs and rolling black outs, aided and abetted by our new SMART METERS, combined with accelerating increases in electric bills, enough people will cave in and buy solar to make the election investment worth it to the solar companies who cannot compete in a free market.

yup I can see that happening, and of course this just leads back to the same old same old, brown will tax us up the wazoo to pay for the huge subsidies both to the industries that cannot complete with china as to making the panels and to the buyers....

If you move, what state can you go to that has the political philosophy you agree with??

 

[Wry Catcher]

"Californians are proud to live in a state that always goes its own way. Tuesday was no different.

"While the rest of the country ousted incumbents and took out its rage against Democrats generally, Californians voted resoundingly for experience - and for Democrats. A three-term Democratic senator, Barbara Boxer, beat back a strong challenge from Republican Carly Fiorina. Voters said yes to Jerry Brown - who's not just a Democrat but also a former governor with a political history that stretches back for decades. While the rest of the country threw the dice on Tea Party upstarts and political newbies, Californians chose stability and longevity.

"What's particularly interesting about California's outlier status is that the voters weren't swayed by plays on fear - even though the state's unemployment rate, nearly 13 percent, is one of the highest in the nation. Voters were unmoved by the argument that the state's landmark climate-change law is a "job-killer," and they said no to Proposition 23 with a resounding 59.2 percent of the vote.

"The rejection of Proposition 23 is no shocker - appreciating the environment is a bedrock California value. As for the other, more surprising results? California always goes its own way, and 2010 was no exception."

See.... that's how stupid Boxer is. "Californians go their own way...." Yea, $138bn in the red. This is why I say Californians are stupid. They're gonna ask the Fed to bail them out. That IS NOT going our own way.

Thank God I don't live there. And most of my family are either out of the state or getting out of the state. We won't pay back a debt we neither asked for or wanted. Let the drooling fools in the state pay their debt back.

Wait a minute, I just discovered the most ironic moment of the whole election.

The left wing basically campaigned on "Don't give the keys back to the people who got us into this mess!"

And then the most leftist of all leftist states, California, put Jerry Brown back into office. The very same man who got them into their current mess.

WTF?

Precisely. And they put Babs Boxer back in the Senate...oops...I mean Senator Babs Boxer...(sorry madame Senator)

When/if the economy begins to recover, California will do likewise.

 

[bucs90]

California wont recover until the other 49 states bail them out.

Oh, wait, I forgot the condition of Illinois, New York and New Jersey.

Ok, Cali won't recover until the other 46 states bail them out.

Unfortunately, moronic California liberals have.............VOTED FOR THE PEOPLE THAT GOT THEM INTO THAT MESS!!!!!!!

Oh, the sweet comic irony. I mean, they did it not as an analogy, but LITERALLY voted for the guy that got them into the mess!!!!

Another great editorial from PJM.

It’s the proverbial morning after and with votes counted, California has won the Dumbest State Award in a historic landslide of monstrous proportions.

All Californians can now see Greece from their bedroom windows. No need to even go to the backyards and crane their little necks.

In the coming years, the unions, who have been bilking Californians in a protection-racket type scheme, will be taking to the streets in massive, destructive temper tantrums just like those out-in-the-cold workers in other failed socialist states across the big pond. It won’t be pretty.

All the while Californians have been lining the greedy pockets of union masters, they’ve also saddled their economy with the greenest of the green anti-pollution laws, which they’ve just voted overwhelmingly to keep in place. At the very same time, they’ve neglected their infrastructure to the degree that whole cities will probably be condemned shortly as uninhabitable by anything higher on the evolutionary scale than rats. California’s sanctuary cities openly flout federal immigration laws with impunity now, but if they keep it up they’re going to face a loud demand from the other 49 for their statehood and immediate, irreversible secession by force.

Michigan voters saw their future Greece-like fate and changed course. Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Florida did likewise. Others all across America’s heartland had the smarts to rein in out-of-control Democrat-socialists before their states hit the fans of bankruptcy history. They got it.

Californians still don’t get it.
