Night of the Living Dead: Californians Re-elect Dead State Senator
Yeah, I’ve heard of the dead voting, but voting a dead person into office? That only happens when the voters are brain dead zombies:
Dead state senator reelected in Long Beach
November 3, 2010 – L.A. Times
Jenny Oropeza, who died after a long illness last month, was reelected to another term in the state Senate on Tuesday. With more than half of the vote counted, voters in Oropeza’s Long Beach district gave her more than 54% percent of the vote. Republican John Stammreich trailed with 40% of the vote.
If the results hold, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger will call a special election to replace Oropeza.
Oropeza missed last month’s budget vote as she recovered from a blood clot in her abdomen. She had also fought a long battle with cancer.

Fiorina won the white vote but a coalition of blacks mexicans and San Francisco queers went with Boxer and that is one reason why I’m leaving. GFYS, Brown and Boxer and Feinstein, I can’t say that enough, sorry.
And I’ll laugh when they run out of energy and have to start rationing it just like they have with water!

Yup. Glad to hear you’re thinking of moving. As my wife and I decided five years ago: Best to get out of there and let God wipe it clean.
Cheers

Actually, and I’m sure many people won’t understand but this is the lowest point in my life and it feels that way too. You see, Ca is my home state, I was born in Mass but only because my dad was in the Army I spent more time living in Georgia than in Mass, but still less than a few years of my young life in both put together. My dad was offered a job out here as he left the army and here I am and have been. So its a real heart breaker, for me.

Yes today is an all around bad day, my deceased younger brothers birthday (he was born here but he wasn’t killed here, I wasn’t born here and I don’t want to die here) and now the state is dead too. Its all dead for me, I’ve come full circle, sad.

I know where you’re coming from. I’ve been there before; feeling like no matter how hard you work, you can’t get ahead because everybody has their fingers in your pockets; no matter how you vote, the libtards and lefturds manage to figure out a way to make your vote meaningless if it conflicts with their vision of Dystopia.
Yup, you soon find yourself getting dragged down into the gutters with rest of the slime…
Like I said, Mrs. Bulldog and I finally had enough of all that crap and decided it was time to leave and let God clean up the mess—it’ll happen, just don’t know when, exactly.
Our decision to move to Missouri has been a Godsend in our lives.
Sure, there have been a few regrets—like no Silicon Valley type work for me here—but, the positives outweigh the negatives about a thousand to one!
Cheers
P.S. – Sorry to hear about your younger brother.

Thanks but its been awhile now, periodically I get melancholy but mainly around holidays and such.
Oh the idiots also voted to cap and trade their lifestyles, they voted for a simple majority to pass a budget and so on.

My sentiments exactly and all I would like to say is, The M***********S…..
What do you think, do I just walk away from my obligations here? I have never done that, it may be hard.
3 November, 2010 at 12:39 pm
And don’t be surprised if every other member of my extended family leaves after I do.
Oh and I have been experiencing some issues loading your site (similar to what I experience at Free Republic once in awhile) and my connection is ultra fast. A scripting issue that gets resolved perhaps?

Yes, you have to get your mindset into flight mode and and just get the hell out of there! Obligations be damned!
As for the site loading issues, I’m experiencing them, too. I think it is related to the blip.tv embedding codes. I’ve sent an email to blip.tv and wordpress about it.

“I still carry this missionary zeal to transform the world.”
Who said it? Jerry Brown or Jim Jones?
4 November, 2010 at 9:44 am
Jerry would be my first guess.
Like Jim Jones, Obama and Jerry Brown are commies with a ‘zeal to transform the world.”

Did you see Browns rambling speech on election night with a Guyanaesqe group of minority kids in the background? He was rambling on about education, the chance for every kid to be a winner, renewable energy, indoor cookouts and such? Democrats are really creepy the way they do that kind of stuff. His ramblings reminded me of that nit wit girl at the Santa Cruz city council meeting that was going around awhile ago.
4 November, 2010 at 11:56 am
No, I didn’t catch it. But now that you have pointed it out, I’ll be sure to hunt down the video and watch it.
Cheers

Yeah, I thought the education spiel was pretty funny. The state is filled with people who either can’t learn English or refuse to learn English. Brown has been in another dimension for so long he doesn’t appear to notice that the state has changed. Whats worse is the SF lunatic happy meal banning freaks are in Sacramento now, the final straw, for me. I’m so disgusted that I heard that they picked up several jihadists preparing an attack on SF, my first thought was, who cares. Not very nice but that’s where they have driven me.

That sure beats out NJ where the dead and the vacant lots in Hudson Co. have equal voting rights. That’s a new angle, the dead voting in the dead.

Tgusa,
I’m an expatriot born-and-raised Californian myself, who moved to Tx back in ’98, when I saw the writing on the wall. I used to have family here, but they’re all gone now. The only downside for me here is the ocean is 2 hrs away and mountains as I know them are nonexistent, but there are a lot of lakes and rivers, not nearly as many people (so far), and the general atmosphere leans more conservatively than otherwise.
If you are able to liquidate your assets, I can rcommend the TX hill country (Boerne, Kerrville, Fredricksburg area as a good place to move to and live well.

You know Bob, I have been looking at that area for several years now. Actually I was pretty concerned back when you moved, even as early as 90, but, family, friends, work, stuff, got in the way of my better judgments. I didn’t really realize that Texas was broken up into the particular sections until I started researching on the net. But you have helped me in the area that I could not research and that is the more intimate aspects of the area, which I must say was a heavy burden, you know, even though everything looked good still not sure what it was really like.
Being an outdoorsman, Texas is naturally at the top of my list. My cousin in Mississippi goes hog hunting there and his county has some pretty well known for the good hunting there, no hogs though. Like you I too used to have family there, could still have a few extended extended family somewhere around the state. Its a really big family. I’ll have to ask one of my older aunts, you know, they always have the lowdown on that sort of stuff. Thanks for taking the time, I appreciate it!
Maybe I’ll see you sometime, if I can, Escape From California.

Believe it or not I know a lot of people who moved out here from Texas in the 80′s, only to move back in the 90′s. Sorry to see them go but I can’t blame them.
7 November, 2010 at 3:24 pm
For you, tgusa:
7 November, 2010 at 4:37 pm
LOL. Fortunately I would be taking the 10 East, avoiding LA altogether.
7 November, 2010 at 5:56 pm
I often rant that I could have been somewhere else with a whole new rebuilt life if it hadn’t been for the rest of my jackasses! Ask anyone. But that’s mainly when I am feeling like a jackass myself, for listening to those jackasses.
