'Let's stay home' won in a landslide By Dan Smith
Californians stayed away from the polls with a vengeance Tuesday, shattering all state records for poor voter participation in a general election.
Secretary of State Bill Jones said Wednesday that when an estimated 500,000 late absentee ballots are counted over the next couple of weeks, fewer than half of the state's 15.3 million registered voters will have cast ballots.
That means barely a third of Californians eligible to vote actually made it to the polls.

Last time they "voted" was for Prop 187...

The smart ones were packing their bags and preparing to leave instead.
The state's a festering pile of feces, and even if Simon won there is no way he could have turned California around with the Democrats controlling the legislature, a huge deficit, and new socialist ballot measures voted in. All that would have come of it is that the Democrats would have used the problems they created as ammunition against the GOP later.

Non white turnout was especially low, which is why the result was closer than expected

Freeper types will see this as a sign that the non-Whites are turning conservative - with [url=http://www.freerepublic.com/perl/profile?u=48149]this a-hole[/url] patrolling the threads for anything that's not politically correct, they'd be afraid to think anything else - but from what I've observed they're becoming disenchanted because the Democrats won't (can't, without alienating many of their White supporters), get behind their extremist demands for reparations.

Alas, generally they've already left.
The state's a festering pile of feces, and even if Simon won there is no way he could have turned California around with the Democrats controlling the legislature, a huge deficit, and new socialist ballot measures voted in.

Yup, California's become a third world country, and Gray your classic tinhorn dictator, who stays in power by stirring up resentment and blaming others for his problems.
We could laugh at it, except the politicians in the rest of the states by and large have learned nothing, and have policies designed to make 49 other Californias.
Interesting though, the loss of interest in democracy in CA. Everywhere else interest was high. It does show how immigration really is makling California into a fundamentally different identity, weakening its ties with traditional American civicism and culture.
We could laugh, if it wasn't so much our situation with but slight disguise.

Let's say, for the sake of arguement, Kalifornia is nothing but a shell of what was once a "democratic" system...
What is it now?
**OK... I can hear it now ... the cries of "Your an alarmist!!" or "You want to live in an 'Ozzie and Harriet' world!" or even (as no doubt you bleeding-heart liberals will shout) "Your a bigoted, racist, NAZI!!"
Well it doesn't matter to me what you think of me or say about me. Because I know that I'm right. And those of you who disagree with my 'truth' know deep down inside that I'm right. There are those of you who want to stick your heads in the sand (An excellent way to get your ass shot off, by the way...) and deny that the points and facts I bring up are true. That's fine. You can come to / live in this tattered hell-hole all you want. As for myself, I'm gonna get out of here just as fast as I can!
Now there is probably a good portion of you that agree with me because you know I'm right, and may be asking yourself right now, 'Just what in the hell AM I still doing here??' or ' Why in the hell would I even want to go to such a place??'
For those here .... The only thing holding you back from getting the hell out is FEAR. Well, you can either live with the fear of the unknown by leaving, or the fear of knowing what can happen to you if you stay. You may say, "But I've got a good job, and a nice house .... I can't just throw it all away!" Well, I've been saying the same thing to myself for the last 15 or so years also. And I'm coming to realize that the stress alone, from just being in this cesspool is killing me. OK, so you've got your bitchin' job, and your nice big house, and a couple of cool cars parked in the garage .... but at what price? A rose stuck into the middle of a big pile of sht, is STILL a rose stuck into the middle of a BIG PILE OF sht. Contrary to what most 'Angeleno's' think, there IS a whole big world outside of Los Angeles and California! Why, there are people who live in every single state we have! Imagine THAT! And if they can manage to live outside of L.A. ... so can YOU. If you are too afraid to do something about your situation, then you had just better be ready to put up with a lifetime of misery. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
Now if you really believe that this dump is just a WONDERFUL place to live .... man, your just one blind, stupid, FOOL ....
For those of you who are thinking, or worse yet, planning on either visiting here, or living here .... DON'T!! Whatever 'pot at the end of a rainbow' you think your going to obtain here is just a pipe-dream! Everything you've read on the previous pages are true, and don't let anybody tell you it's not! As my dad used to tell me "A word to the wise is sufficient" ...
footnote: Many of you have emailed me asking "Well... why in the hell do you stay here then?" Just so I don't have to type this over and over again, this is why.... When I bought my house in the summer of 1989 it was a "seller's market". (Remember when people used to camp out on the sidewalks for days at a time just for the opportunity to bid on a house whenever a new housing track opened up?) At the time, I paid $XXX,XXX for my house. It is now worth $30,000 - $40,000 less than what I paid for it. I could do one of two things. I could just "walk away" from it.... if I want to destroy my credit for the next 7+ years, and get sued by my mortgage company. Not a very good option. Or I could "short-sell" the house. Unfortunately, somehow or other, the Govt and the IRS figures that I somehow MADE $30,000 - $40,000 profit on the house (yeah... show me the money!) and will get taxed on that as earned income. This is another financial 'hit' I can't afford either. (I may want the hell out of here, but I'm not stupid either!) So... in the meantime, here I sit with this freekin' ball and chain locked firmly to my ankle. I'll have to just wait a few years until I can at least break even selling the house, or win the lottery ... whichever comes first.

Yeah, they're attempting to have Brazilianization come to your town, but I think the full collapse and civil war will hit before the entire country is fatally infected. Out here in La-La land, it's pockets of white areas, each an oasis between areas of brown and black crime, corruption, disorganization and desolation. The clean up is going to be messy ... but think of how good we'll all feel when it's finally over. And I'm not joking. Not at all. We may even see some of the ringleaders of America's decades long nightmares at the front of the parades. Well, their heads on sticks, at the front of the parades.

Cool! After the parade, they could be used in a puppet show on the evils of multiculturalism!
I'd pay to see that one.
