Just as they hold the majority in both houses of Congress, so too do Democrats hold the majority in both houses of the California legislature. While they may have ruled the roost on Capitol Hill for just four years, in Sacramento, it’s a different story. Democrats have controlled both chambers for fourteen years.
Since 1992, only Democrats have represented the Golden State in the United States Senate. And now, at least according to CBS’s”60 Minutes,” the real unemployment rate here in 22%:
(Via JammieWearingFool.)
Remember how back in February 2010, Barbara Boxer who has represented California in the United States Senate for 18 long years, echoed the White House in telling us the “stimulus” would create (or save) “approximately 400,000 jobs” in the Golden State.
And now, nearly one quarter of the Californians are unemployed or underemployed. This is what comes from putting Democrats in charge. It’s time that one California Democrat lose her job. Please help the woman who is seeking to retire that career politician.
Boxer is beating Fiorina… haven’t you seen the polls? What a bunch of bullshit. I haven’t seen this type of deception by the MSM and political insiders since… Reagan was losing the election against Carter. If ANY voter believes what they’re being told then they’re just plain stupid and/or naive. I understand that Miller is tied or losing to Murcowski the “write in” candidate that lost the primary and Brown (the career liberal politician) is leading Whitman. Really? They think you’re stupid and will be disheartened and will stay at home on voting day. They REALLY think YOU’RE STUPID.
this is what happens when you put anti-private enterprise people in power. they kill off jobs in the private sector. they kill off enterprenureship. eventually they kill off peoples incentive to work. which is what they are doing now.
Um. Excuse me, but, the last time I checked, California’s governor was a Republican named Arnold Schwarzenegger, who ran on a plan to restore California that was based on his corporate acumen and real world experience.
Since 1983, when Jerry Brown was last governor, we’ve had one Democratic governor (Davis) for 4 years, and 23 years of Republicans (Deukmejian, Wilson, and Schwarzenegger).
Suppose the California state workforce was trimmed by 10%. The numbers would skyrocket.
Suppose California raises taxes. The numbers would skyrockets.
Suppose the Bush tax cuts die. The numbers will skyrocket.
Suppose California stops getting federal stimulus bailout money for cops, teachers, firemen, et. al. The numbers will skyrocket.
Suppose the California state workforce is trimmed by 10%, taxes are cut and small businesses are given tax breaks. Would this begin to work the California economy back to a healthy state or would the bad numbers skyrocket?
What is the Obama plan? What is the Brown plan?
Speaking of Ma’am Boxer, there was a story in The Hill yesterday reporting on an interview she gave to the Spanish language channel Univision. Clearly, the fact that she is having to campaign against a real threat to her power is getting to her. She’s obviously not used to this kind of pressure, or any pressure for that matter, because there are some quotes in the story that are just…unreal. She’s losin’ it. At this point, I’m dying to ask Boxer, “Ma’am? Do you really not hear that laugh-track immediately after every word that comes out of your mouth?” Just read…you won’t believe it:
________________________________________
Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) defended her socially liberal views on Spanish-language television Sunday, saying that she was polling well in the socially conservative Latino community because her stance in favor of abortion rights is “100 percent respectful.”
On Univision’s “Al Punto,” Boxer was asked a National Organization for Marriage ad geared toward the Hispanic community, saying that her abortion and gay marriage positions don’t coincide with Latino values.
“I am a 100 percent respectful of people’s views,” she said. “I don’t think the government should tell people what to do.”
“…When you are pro-choice you respect all the choices, you respect people,” Boxer added. “If their religion tells them one thing, you respect it and so I’ve been very respectful. And the Hispanic community, I’ve fought for them, I fought for their kids education. I wrote the first after school program, anti-gang programs.

That’s right. Ma’am Boxer doesn’t think the government should tell people what to do. Okay. I especially love her use of the word “respectful” over and over again. She’s trying to make the point that she’s respectful of religious people who oppose abortion (a spectacular lie), but then it deteriorates into her ranting about how she’s fought for the Hispanic community and created after-school programs and anti-gang programs (translation = how dare you Bible-thumping wetbacks not appreciate the government programs I voted for to keep your delinquent bambinos out of gangs and prison!?). What’s really going on in this interview is that Boxer is OUTRAGED that she isn’t being “respected” enough by people she has pigeon-holed as illiterate, working class immigrants who care only about hand-outs, keeping their kids out of gangs, abortion on demand for low-income immigrant women, and of course, open borders.
Boxer is a total disgrace. I cannot believe that there are still people in this state that are so profoundly stupid that they would vote for this twat (and after that devastating 60 Minutes story last night!).
I keep saying: “Obama saved us from a depression” – Oh really? How? When?
When did the Obama White House call Les Moonves about the 60 Minutes hit piece?
I’m shocked 60 Minutes ran the segment just a week before the midterm elections. This is another sign the MSM is breaking up with President Obama.
A warning of what Senator Harry Reid has in store for us, if he is reelected? An AMNESTY–for 13 to 20 million illegal aliens, with a price tag of 2.6 Trillion dollars to process each individual and subsidize their welfare programs, according to the Heritage Foundation. They send approximately $60 billion annually out of the country to their families, plus an estimate $113 billion dollars at the local level of government for public benefits. Harry Reid voted to continuously fund Sanctuary cities and States, so did Senator Barbara Boxer of California. Harry Reid and the majority of democrats crashed American-English as the recognized language of this country, and voted for illegal aliens to participate in our wilting Social Security System. Senator Reid, Boxer and the largest proportion of Lib-Democrats voted equally, to what top Democrats wanted every time. This is sheer madness when his Nevada has the largest proportion of jobless Americans, the highest rate of bankruptcies and home foreclosures. Another fact is that Reid voted yes, to continue public entitlements, including unemployment benefits to foreign nationals.
He must have turned senile when he states that there are no illegal aliens in Nevada, which is currently slipping into insolvency. In the last ten years Dem-Libs have failed to complete the real paired fence along the length of the border with Mexico, but sued Arizona for trying to defend its citizens from overflow of monetary illegal aliens, criminals and even foreign grown terrorists. Senator Reid, along with Barbara Boxer challenged E-Verify, the local policing law 287 (G) yet pushing to award tuition to children of illegal aliens for a college and state universities education, when American students cannot even afford the escalating fees. GOOGLE–“On the issues” website, and then decide your voting preference. In addition GOOGLE—illegal alien costs. I’m a Tea Party Blogger, Independent voter and will be watchful of organizations canvassers’ similar to ACORN, which registered illegal aliens to vote, as well as deceased people and even fictitious people living in vacant lots. GOOGLE–Voter fraud, it’s a crime against US citizens and naturalized Americans. Incidentally Tea Party people do not genuflect to either party and are strongly opposed to either ideologies.
