You Ask...Just How Bad Could A Few Decades Of Uninterupted Democrat Leadership Be ?

Well we do have plenty of real world examples of just how truly evil and foul a few short years of unbridled democrat leadership can be, all one has to do is look. Detroit, Camden , Flint, Gary, Washington D.C., Newark, Harrisburg, New Orleans, St Louis, East St Louis, Baltimore, Chicago, Scranton, Wilkes Barre. All these places have been run by democrats for years, some have never had a Republican Mayor and it shows. But now they are destroying entire states with their idiocy and what a state to destroy ...the late great state of California. It boggles the mind to think that anyone could ruin a state that has been so blessed with gentle weather....fertile land ... abundant energy resources and access to free and easy trade and yet they have done just that and in just a few short years.

Democrats are like a slow moving plague of locusts, before their passing the landscape is lush, green, fertile and productive and then they slowly move in and in their passing they leave death, poverty and misery and what I find most mind boggling is that the people see it happen, they understand what is happening, they know who the culprits are and they are given the opportunity every few years to rid themselves of these ticks and yet they inevitability decide to keep them.

Some of you may think that enough may come to their senses to save the state, well put that misplaced thought to rest they just gave the democrats super majorities in Both Cal houses.That means the Republicans aren't even a speed bump anymore and to add insult to injury the voters just approved a ballot measure that now gives Cal the highest state income taxes in the nation and they failed to approve a measure which would have restricted the public service unions ability to pick the pockets of the tax payers. Now its just time, space and speed as to how big the hole is going to be as all the pieces are in place for a truly spectacular fail. It is all dependent on how long the state can afford to feed the ticks which hang from its flanks in ever increasing numbers

Under GOP Rule California Was Golden State – Now It’s the Poverty-Stricken Broke State

Posted by Jim Hoft on Saturday, November 17, 2012, 1:16 PM

Andrew Leonard at Salon wrote a piece this week titled, “The GOP’s horrible California nightmare.” The title of the piece should have been “California’s Democratic nightmare.”
From the article:

Before 1992, California had not given its electoral votes to a Democrat running for president since Lyndon Johnson’s 1964 electoral landslide. But in the early 1990s California became a majority-minority state, and since then the state has inexorably turned bluer and bluer (aided by ham-handed Republican legislation on immigration that profoundly alienated Hispanics). Only 30 percent of Californians are now registered Republicans, the lowest mark since record-keeping began. In 2012, every single statewide office belonged to Democrats, and Sen. Dianne Feinstein ran essentially unopposed. Arch-conservative Republican Dan Lungren was the state’s attorney general from 1991-1999. He lost his U.S. House of Representatives seat last night (Nov. 7).

Of course, Leonard and Democrats cheer this news because maintaining power has always been the goal of Democrats.

And after thirty years of absolute Democrat control the once Golden State looks like this…
Today California has the highest poverty rate in the nation.
Deseret News reported:

California’s poverty rate of 23.5 percent is the highest of any state in the country, according to new information from the U.S. Census Bureau.
The Census Bureau worked with the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics to compile a Supplemental Poverty Measure, which factors in government programs to assist low-income people and families that aren’t included in official, income-based poverty measures that were developed in the early 1960s.
The new measure’s thresholds factor in the amount families spend on a basic goods including food, clothing, shelter and utilities and a small additional amount to allow for other needs such as household supplies, personal care items and non-work-related transportation. It’s adjusted to factor in geographical differences in housing costs, and also includes resources beyond income, such as nutrition assistance, subsidized housing, and home energy credits.
The nearest three-year (2009 to 2011) poverty rate to California’s is the District of Columbia with 23.2 percent. The next-highest poverty rate for a state is Arizona at 19.8 percent.

And in 2011 California was the second brokest state. Only Illinois is more broke.

But Democrats see this as success. California is on the path to Third Worldism and Democrats cheer. After all, they’re in charge and that’s what matters. And now Obama wants to turn the rest of the country into California.
