Californians: Vote a straight Republican ticket

Written By : Bookworm

My friend Sally Zelikovsky says it in the clearest words possible: Unless conservatives in California vote for the Republicans, we will have a Sacramento government made up entirely of San Francisco Democrats. If that horrible outcome sounds painfully obvious to you, you don’t know California.

There are two dynamics in California that are a problem. First, conservatives don’t like the Republican candidates. (They’re right not to. Fiorina is lovely — and may she get well soon — but the others are “eh” at best.) This means California conservatives may be tempted to (a) sit this one out or (b) vote for a write-in or minor candidate. Those are luxuries of ordinary elections, though. In California, this election is not about a favored conservative candidate winning; it’s about making sure the Democratic candidate loses. And the only way to do that is with vast numbers of votes for the Republican, even if that requires some nose holding.

The other dynamic is Prop. 19, the initiative to legalize marijuana. Have you wondered by George Soros is promoting it? Do you think George Soros gives a flying whatsit about whether Californians have legal marijuana? I can assure you that he doesn’t. But he knows one group that does care a great deal, and it’s a group that votes reliably Democrat: young people. Yup. Prop. 19 is a “get out the youthful Democrat vote” effort. This means that, while most young people around America are sitting out this election, there is a very good chance that California’s young people will be heading to the polls.

So if you’re a Californian, and you have memories, increasingly faint memories, of a true Golden State, VOTE and VOTE REPUBLICAN.

Good luck with that.

I actually agree with our little trolling pr–, Golie, here. California is pretty much a lost cause anymore due to it’s demographic decline. It’s pretty much the showcase of what the left wants to do to this country. Massive unchecked third world (mostly illegal) immigration has produced a state that is dominated by an unsophisticated, resentful, goverment-dependant underclass. Indeed as I have pointed out in the past the primitive third worlder is the perfect Democrat voter. They come from socialist/authoritatian sh-t holes and are used to goverment control and corruption. They are used to a lower standard of living and the bad economies that leftist control creates. Finally, many have ethnic grievances that the left actively encourage with their racial and class warfare rhetoric.

Bertolt Brecht once made the comment that “if you don’t like the results of elections, then change the electorate”. What has happened to California in recent decades is proof of the truth of that statement and is one of the big reasons that the left supports mass third world (both legal and illegal) immigration.

Edit- Now don’t get me wrong. I still thing it’s important to try, even in unpormising venues like California, but I don’t hold out much hope.

Don’t forget California has no problem voting in republicans as in the govnator, and others over the years.

And this is exactly why we need Jerry ‘Moonbeam’ Brown. The Governator is a RINO, and as RINOs do, he failed. He said he was purple, a fiscal conservative, but not a true conservative, and he’s earned the RINOs reward. So, to stop the problems of 3/5th liberalism, Californians are about to elect full tilt 5/5th liberalism.

When this fails, as it must, just as an apple if thrown by hand into the air must fall, then comes the opportunity to put in True Happy Warrior Conservatism.

If John McCain had won, the Establishment RINOs would have been confirmed in their obstinacy, and the Tea Party would have brewed a far weaker drink if at all.

California, I suspect, needs to go to the point where they realize they are wrong.

Rose

They certainly have not reached THAT place, YET!

I doubt if they have that capacity at all.

They only seem to tolerate republican actors.

That was not a REPUBLICAN. That was an IMPERSONATOR.

The Republicans didn’t have to GUTS to vote in a Republican – they had one of the BEST – Tom McClintock – and spit in his face for a SELF-PROFESSED LIBERAL in RINO SUIT. “My values are the same as Danny DeVito’s.” – he said with a straight and unassuming face.

Yeah, keep telling yourself that the Governator is a Republican.

Since 1917 there have been 11 republican governors and 4 dems. The truth hurts but its still the truth.

I repeat, keep telling yourself that the Governator is a Republican.

You really should try READING before shooting your mouth off.

Heh. I always forget that there are Republicans, and a few Conservatives, still dwelling in the Peoples’ Republic of California.
I wish them luck; they’re going to need it.

I’d kind of rather they didn’t.

California is a failed state. Their financial obligations are larger than most countries economies. There is really no foreseeable way anyone could get their finances straightened out even if they were given absolute control and were beholden to no one. Instead they have to appease every group (ie; making no cuts) and at the same time are limited in their ability to raise taxes much further (ie: no new revenue) so they’re basically doomed.

If republicans take control of this sinking ship that will simply make it that much easier for the media to spin this as a republican caused disaster. Essentially like the captain of the titanic handing his hat to the nearest deckhand as the boat is sinking and giving him all the blame.

No one can fix them now, better then that they fairly go under waving the flag of liberalism rather than being granted the opportunity to pass the blame around.

I am not surprised that California is in such a mess. One could see it coming decades ago. They have been a long time lost in the land of fantasy and drugs. Unless something is done, they will be worse than a lost cause.
To legalize drugs is not the answer. It will simply make things worse.
They need to turn away from lifestyle choices that are a downward spiral. Get back to moral clarity. The virtues that built America are not dead. They are just waiting to go back to building again. That can save California.

As a California resident for the past 26 years, this thread makes me feel like I’m attending my own funeral. And since registered Republicans are outnumbered by registered Democrats by more than 2 to 1, it would seem there is no hope. But this year, incumbents like Boxer are facing challenges they never have before. I’m hoping there is enough tea party energy here to change things around. In prior years, my attitude has been “bracing for disappointment”, but this year I am “cautiously optimistic”.

The one thing that will really doom this state is if Prop 25 passes. Giving this legislature the authority of a simple majority will be a disaster. If that happens, then my attitude will be “moving to Texas”.

StanW

Whether the senario in California comes to pass or not, just know that you are welcome to come to Texas anyway, my friend. We would love to have you.

Anonymous

Thanks, Stan. The only person I need to convince is the wife. She is rooted here like a hundred year old oak.

Rose

Tell her to decide if she is Lot’s wife who turned to a pillar of salt – or YOUR wife. :)

That is my own personal humble opinion, of course.

gfchicago

Love your new avatar Stan.

StanW

Thanks, GF. My tribute to the great state of Texas.

…and the Texas Rangers baseball team!

Anonymous

As a lifelong Dodgers fan (waaaay before moving to CA), I’ll be rooting for the Rangers. Good luck!

I thought there was something different about your avatar…

Rose

After all that you Californians have already taken from your Marxist Masters, and THEN voted for Dah Ahnold Man “because he was “Electable” ” – you will take one more – and THEN you will be ready to move to Texas???

If you do, as a Lifetime Texan, let me be the FIRST to warn you – LEAVE YOUR CALIFORNIA BAGGAGE in CALIFORNIA.

I have some cousins who have already moved out here to escape “California garbage”, and they want to teach everyone California Better Ways”, and are already so insulted that Texas doesn’t think they are smarter than us.

And pick up some Independent Backbone on yer way here!!!!

:) (smile)

That’s what I love about you Rose. You don’t sugar coat anything!

Anyway, I don’t have any baggage as far as this state is concerned. I’m not a native Californian…as a matter of fact, I’m a Cornhusker by birth (although I may not want to admit that to a Texan), so my attitudes were already set when I moved here. You’ve got to have a strong backbone being a conservative in California. The main draw for settling here was and still is the weather. Just can’t beat it.

You may want to start early. I imagine there will be a mass exodus once they run out of money and basic services collapse coupled with a massive desperate increase in taxes.

Probably will want to leave before they try to put limits on the amount of money/property you can take with you when you leave (just kidding, sort of).

You definitely aren’t far from the truth. We have a couple of propositions on the ballot that will make or break this state. And after seeing the other day that registered Republicans are outnumbered more than 2 to 1 by registered Democrats, I’m not very confident. We shall see.

“Do you think George Soros gives a flying whatsit about whether Californians have legal marijuana?”

Answer: ABSOLUTELY YES, YES, YES.

Why? Look at CA – how do you think the lunatic-left d-crat socialists in the state legislature who have morally, ethically, socially, politically AND economically bankrupted the state over decades stay in power? The majority of voter are too stoned to care!

Now think what will happen across the entire nation if, as the pot-heads plan to do, they take their success of unlimited pot in CA to each and every state and, one-by-one, get unlimited pot for everybody. We’ll have a whole nation of stoned voters who will naturally vote for people as loony as they are – the lunatic-left d-crat socialists, who don’t favor the old offer of a “chicken in every pot”, but support the new plan for “pot in every pot”.

Am in California, not to worry about 19 it is going down in flames. But that is not the real PROP. to worry about! Yes 25 is a problem, but 23 is the real killer. If it goes down, AB32, a old PROP passed by Swarzzenegger, is California’s own cap-n-tax climate control bill. This bill will kill, energy, manufacturers and investment. Since California has lost over 1 million manufacturing jobs the last 10 years, this will kill the rest of the industry. I have a small business, 31 employees and have been planning to mover out the past 12 months. Have just acquired a nice 30,000 sq. ft plant in Henderson, Nevada. Moving day is March, 2011. Can’t wait. Sorry California, love the weather here, but can’t afford to put up with the craziness in this state and after 28 years, moving business and family.

I have to agree – I’ll vote the straight ticket, even it means voting for Abel Maldanaro for Lt. Gov.

BTW, I’ve the best of both states – I can work in my office here in Silicon Valley doing work for a project in Texas. Great people there in Texas but like Mark Twain observed, “Where else can one see so far and see so little?”

Now, if I could just be taxed like I lived in Texas, it would be sweet.

I think California and Michigan are basically write offs, warnings to the rest of the nation what happens when you put unaccountable leftists in power and never question them.
