This country has been on the march toward socialism for decades. California leads the march so its only fair the have the leads spot in setting our national policy.

We would do well to learn from california as the trend setter. They had the enrgy problem first but we didnt do anything about it. Now lok where we are nationally.

They had the imigration problem first but we didnt do anything about it. Now look where we are nationally.

They had the multilanguage issue first but we didnt do anything about it. Now look where we are nationally.

Can it all be fixed - sure - its easy - get teh government to stop being the answer and allow the people to be responsible for themselves. It may take some time to work out the kinks but it will solve all the problems.

Hhhmmm - what a concept - allow people to think and act and be responsible for those actions on thier own. Maybe if california started doing that we would follow suit nationally - what do you think?

California has 10% of the nation's population, but is responsible for 20% of the GNP. Not so with Texas, but it's a strong state, too.

As for Bush being a Texan, no he isn't. He's from a liberal New England state and moved to Texas where he'd have a better chance of being elected.

Texans are ok, but Texas wannabes are lame. In fact, all wannabes are lame. I have an uncle who was a manager for rock bands in California back in the 80s. He moved to Nevada at some point, then claimed to be a cowboy. He's never been on a horse. Just a poser like Bush.

Because the world revolves around

People watch Hollywood movies, use electronic gadgets that were dreamed up in Silicon Valley, and vacation in San Francisco.

Also we have scenery, a spectacular coastline, and the most spectacular bridge on the planet.

I doubt that 'the world' could find Houston on a map, and if they've heard of Texas it's probably only because of the current occupant of the Oval Office, whom they'll all be very happy to forget.

Republicans have crippled the ability to Federally set national policy.

When

you smash all the instruments at the helm and find the Captain dottering about senslessly, unable to even complete a coherent sentence of English,

you turn to your highest ranking Lieutenant to keep the vessel and its people from smithereens upon the jagged rocks.

Yes, since you mention it, that would be California wouldn't it?

Look what Texas has given us:

LBJ, GWB.

:)

Actually Texas does set the policy thanks to retard Texan Bush being the president and his GOP whores hogging Congress until recently. But California is the most populous state in the country as well as the one who contributes the most economically. If California were its own country it would be richer than Canada. Yet its electoral votes don't count as much as Wyoming where 5 people and some goats live.

California has the biggest population, gives more taxes, and contrary to your statement, it is not the most recognize state to the whole world.

I think it has alot to do with the diversity of California in relation to Democrats and Republicans that forces both parties to listen.

you must be from texas. if california were a nation, it would have the fifth, i think, largest economy in the world. texas relies on natural resources. california relies on their creative minds like the film industry and silicon valley, home of the website you are currently on.

If you ever leave California and go to other states it is like going back in time.

Stop coming here, Thanks!
