So is California going to split into 3 states?

[Wolfman]

I remember when there was a minor push to make Aroostook County Maine the 51st state. I think we'll stay at 57 ----errr--- 50 states for now.

There's a lot of support for this in San Diego. I'll leave it at that.

Liberals will never allow it.

So, being is against the latest crackpot scheme to break up California somehow makes you a "libruhl"?

Shows how much you actually know about California. Seriously, you should stick to stuff you're good at like fried chicken and keeping the nig...err... African Americans down.

This has been tried about 200 times in the past, and this is the third try for Draper, somebody with too much money and too much time on his hands.

You should "leave it at that," because you don't know WTF you're talking about and have no basis for that statement except your own ignorance.

I'm starting to actually agree with Schmick on something. Anybody who doesn't have roots in California going back to at least the 1960s should just get the fuck out. You are the ones who are ruining this state.

Democrats understand that they'll lose electoral votes, and they realize that they'll tax themselves into a situation that's worse than it already is. They don't mind conservatives too much when they can take their money.

You're just proving my point here. Thanks.

Do you want it to happen, Mr. "I'm going to leave California, but it's paradise"?

I'm still here and like I said before, which apparently went over your head like most other stuff, 90% chance I'll never leave.

That being said, what a stupid fucking question. If you didn't get my opinion in my first post you're not reading very well.

Meltspray has really been struggling lately. I think he may have had a stroke.

When i moved here in 81, the political landscape was moderate, that is no longer the case. Maybe it will be again after November. The state is screwed up because of voters who vote party lines every election no matter what. The fact that 50+% of residents want to move out of state means you're going to get your wish Mikey, but be careful what you wish for. California legislators won't curb spending after the exodus. They'll just continue to tax residents more.

I think you're probably right about this. Also the definition of "liberal" vs. "conservative" has changed a lot since then, and no candidate is allowed to stray from either party's platform.

Silicon Valley is supposedly a bastion of "liberalness" but what it's really about making money and trying to feel somehow socially aware. I grew up in the middle of that when there were still some orchards scattered around. I'd be happy right now if the whole thing was razed and started over. My parents were both Republicans as was our Congressman, Pete McCloskey. Even as a Republican, McCloskey was the first Congressman to call for repeal of the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution and the first to call for Nixon to resign after Watergate.

It’d be a seriously bad idea to break the People’s Republik Kalifornia into multiple states for any number of reasons. It’s best that if the state is going down the shitter, she’d learn from her mistakes and become more congenial towards traditional governance. Otherwise the rationale becomes anytime you don’t get your way electorally you just splinter off into another smaller, more Balkanized state.

No bueno, senor. (Said so that the Kalifornians amongst us can understand what I said.)

[Left Seater]

But which state will secede after the split?

Well - it's the world's 5th biggest economy, and it's paradise, so everything's perfect there. :)

Your jealousy is as obvious as a festering boil in the middle of your forehead.
Go scarf some fried chicken. It’ll make you feel better.

Question for you, mikey.

Who do you think has it better? Average nig.....balck dude in LA or ATL?

I'll bet there are a metric shit-ton more middle class balcks in the ATL.

BTW, what is the process to break up states?

Is it their call?

Do the feds have to sign off on it?

There is precedent (W Virginia).

It requires Congressional approval which will never fucking happen. Sorry to piss all over your dreams California separatists.

[Joe in PB]

Separatist?

The Bill isn't about succeeding. California is too big politically, what is decided in Sacramento isn't representative of citizens desires down south.

I keep harping about sanctuary states and cities, yet Democrats on this board ignore the issue. Which is why it is spreading around the country to places like Chicago and elswhere. It's one thing to lean to either party politically, it's another to be silent when the party takes a misstep.

The last time a state was split was when West Virginia was formed from Virginia.

This bill isn’t. But there are plenty of the liberals that would love to see CA leave the USA.

[Joe in PB]

Add many Alaskans and Texans to the list.
