Republican sillyness

[Damian]

I am a republican and I'll say that the LA Times isn't my favorite paper but the story non the less makes even me say WTF 'South California' proposed as 51st state by Republican supervisor - latimes.com another reason the whole state should be given back to Mexico!!!!!

 

[Jim Craik]

Gee Damian,

Seeing as how Californias GDP is well over twice all of Mexico, perhaps Mexico might want to join California.

But unfortunatly, I see that you folks in Florida need to work a little harder to get up to the GDP of Mexico.

In fact Florida and Mexico together do not equal Californias GDP.

Typical Republican thinking, you want to GIVE AWAY by far your highest money makeing State because you do not agree with their politics.

Good Sound Financial Thinking. I understand that Murdoch will soon have some openings, perhaps you should apply.

 

[Damian]

You do realize that I was admitting that this was nonsense right? I was trying to give you guys a bone and this is what I get so here we go ... CA has more $ by far but than again we would lose a major piece of the democratic party to what is a third world country which would allow us to see just how committed to their ideals that they are (if they start to give away their wealth or if they segregate themselves even further). I'm O.K. with losing the $ if I also lose a major PITA!!!!!!!

Oh and if you would call him for me (as I don't have his #) I would def. take the interview.

Actually, so cal includes Orange County.:

"It is also known for its affluence and political conservatism. In fact, a 2005 academic study listed three Orange County cities as being among America's 25 "most conservative," making it the only county in the country containing more than one such city."

A lot of affluence and industry in the 51st state....more so than the remainder of the state I think...

Lonsomebob,

I was looking at your chart, Im sure you know that the majority of that drop was under Republican Governer Arnold Shwartzenegr. Who's madness talking about?

 

[Jim Craik]

Mike I heard this plan discussed recently on the radio.

These right wing folks want to devide California in such a way that LA county would be part of Northern California.

Can you say Gerrymander?

 

[Bob Fechter]

I've always said that to be a successful statewide Republican candidate in California, you at a minimum had to be a socialist. I think Arnold did his best to emulate his inlaws.

The climate for business is so bad in California that there is no hope for luring new companies here. Its sad to see all the for lease signs along the business sections here. That should make you very happy Comrade!

 

[Jim Craik]

Lonesomebob,

You might take another look at your graph.

First off this graph goes from 2,000 at the top to 1,200 at the bottom. Bob, wouldn't a real graph go to zero, unless you were miss represent things.

Second that first big drop is the legacy of Reagan and Bush II. The upward turn in the early 1990s' that would be the Clinton years, you remember those years, budget surplus. low unemployment!

Then there is a huge drop in starting right around the year 2000. Those would be the Bush II years.

Thanks for joining in to the discussion we never get enough miss information around here!


By the way Bob, the dark vertical lines represent ressessions. Bob see if you can tell us who was President during thise dark line years?

Read my post Comrade.

I'm not a California Republican, I'm a Conservative. McClintock was the man who should have been our Governor. The Dems put up Bustamante to scare people into backing Arnold, being told he was the only one who could beat him. Even middle of the road Democrats were afraid of Bustamante.

The above link shows what is being accelerated now.

Mike, I was thinking about your post so I checked. This may not be the most recent list, it has Country Wide.

I must say I'm suppressed at so many in northern Cal

The top six Companies and Nine of the top 14 are located in the relatively small Bay Area.

This leaves out Face Book which just moved to Menlo Park. Additionally number 11 Country Wide has bellied up.

North California. South California. It has a nice ring about it.

 

[Jim Craik]

Ron,

Your right, I like the sound too.

Not only does it sound good, we would love to have two additional Senators. We also would get additional Electorial College votes.

All that said, this has come up almost every other year as long as I can remember. The guys behind this one are Conservatives, in California, their chances are ZERO!

 

[Doc Kaler]

Jim,

The "Republic of Texas" is brought up with about the same frequency. I too like the sound. BUT, I doubt it will fly despite from a conservative population!

 

[Mike Christian]

Yes, northern cal has a pocket and so does San Diego. I am pretty sure that California ranks as one of the top ten economic powers in the world. If you draw the line south of LA then I concede that the new "nor cal" could be the larger (economically).

Traditional lines of nor cal and so cal tell me it is so cal...

But if it happens, then the "new so cal" would quickly pass up it's northern twin because all laws hampering businesses would be abolished.

[Jim Craik]

Mike,

I'm not sure you can call **ALL** of Californias six Largest Companies a "pocket", but I guess you know what you mean

 

[craig]

graphs are fun..heres a good one..

 

[craig]

Opps sorry guys...that chart is non issue in this thread..

 

[Jim Craik]

Craig, I do not know what you are trying to show, but BushII was president during that entire time.

Unless you wanted to say that regardless of who is President Congress is a fault. But that would mean that Republicans are now responsible for the economy.
