…because California isn’t liberal enough
The LA Times reports that Democrats are encouraging other liberals to move to Orange County, so that they can take over representation of the bastion of conservatism, you know, because California doesn’t have enough Democrat-controlled areas;
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is aiming to defeat seven California Republicans who represent congressional districts where Hillary Clinton beat President Donald Trump — including a cluster of seats in Los Angeles, Orange and San Diego counties.
The committee will send staffers in charge of overseeing House races in California, Nevada, Oregon and Washington to work out of an Irvine office in an effort to make inroads in Republican strongholds that have traditionally been sure bets for the GOP.
I guess they figure that actually representing the opinions of the constituency takes a back seat to power.
[Fred Smoller, a political science professor at Chapman University in Orange County] said the staffing move to California also has the benefit of showing potential donors and supporters, including a newly energized base that has been protesting several GOP members of Congress, that Democrats are being aggressive as 2018 approaches.
“They are trying to convince people that they can win,” he said.
Winning is more important than the voice of the People.

They just raised the gas tax by $.12 and the diesel tax to $.20 a gallon. They can raise it to $50 a gallon for all I care. I live so close to Arizona that I buy all my fuel there. Choke on that Jerry Brown.
There isnt a tax that CA dems wouldn’t like. Just went TDY there for a class and decided to buy a case of water.
Turns out they enacted a tax per bottle on plastic and per can on aluminum (they called it a depost).
When I asked how I could get my desosit back, turns out you have to go to a recycle center.
WTH!!, I don’t live there and have idea where the local recycle center is.
NY is the same way.
My old digs in Orange County were in Dana Rohrbacher’s district. 2010 rolls around, and, “Viola!” It’s now represented by Loretta Sanchez, the human houseplant!
And my relatives keep asking me why I left.
Ever listen to John & Ken? They mock the shit outta her
I used to when I lived there. But with the time change I don’t stream them at all anymore.
Besides, I got Howie.
Except, you don’t get your “deposit” back if you take the empties to the recycle center. The centers pay you a per pound price for the empties which is substantially less than the so-called deposit. Everything the gov’t of Taxifornia does is a scam to separate the citizens from their cash. Democraps never saw a tax, fine, or fee they didn’t think was a great idea, anyway, for the people paying that actually earn a living.
Yeh, its no problem for the dumocraps, they can steal enough to compensate for their taxes!! MAGGOTS
This is a perfect illustration, once removed, of what everyone knows and no Democrat will admit regarding illegal immigrants: the Dems couldn’t give a shit about them. They only want their votes. The only dream act they’re interested in is dreaming of the day that they can overwhelm at the polls, by sheer force of numbers. It never occurred to them that adopting a more traditional and decent platform, rather than trying to embrace every weird cause and weirdo group in sight just might help their cause. They are, instead, doubling down on stupid for 2018.
They will soon pass an “odometer tax”, so your mileage will be taxed. If they can get away with it, it will be a “GPS Locator Tax”, which will (entirely coincidently of course) provide near-realtime position information an everyone with a California tag.
Well, that’s a lot of effort for silliness. They could just stuff the ballot box the old-fashioned way, couldn’t they? Or do some cleaver gerrymandering like Dan Madigan does?
Let’s not forget that CA’s moonbat Governor signed a bill allowing illegal aliens to vote, how’s that for ballot box-stuffing?
If Americans won’t for the right way, import new ones!
How long before the “wrongvotes” get “relocated” or “reeducated”?
Gah!
If Americans won’t -vote- the right way, import new ones!
Nice one, 11B.
This does not bode well for John Wayne International Airport. If the statue goes up on eBay, I’m bidding….
They’re already trying to change it.
Maxine Waters International, flies from OC to South Central.
I just threw up. MWI the new airport code. Gawd Hep Us…
Lars? You coming anytime soon? I have work to do.
Over this? He is not coming, but he -is- salivating and breathing hard.
And he’s just dying to tell everyone how California is the worlds 6th largest economy and could remove itself from the USA.
To quote the 4chan meme, “Do it, faggot!”
Newsflash, CA–you need us more than we need you. Don’t believe us? Shut off the water and power and see how well that works.
Jesus Christ, we already have enough of these assholes! We don’t need or want any more!
I grew up in Newport Beach, while I do miss a lot of stuff from CA it’s not enough to get me to move back!
Love how it’s “we want more votes so we want YOU to pay to move YOU to another spot.” Reminds me of the classic nurse joke about it being time for our bath, time for our meal, but time for YOUR enema.
Doesn’t cost much to move when all you own is a pair of Crocs, a couple of dirty t-shirts and a Starbucks travel mug.
“and Starbucks travel mug that was pulled from a city trash can.”
“and a stolen Starbucks travel mug.”
“and a Starbucks travel mug that doubles as a urinal on bus trips.”
That’ seems how the tees got dirty, they’re used to filter the urine into the used Starbucks cup.
Here come the Borg (D). Resistance is futile.
An annoying thing about California politics is it tends to be hyper-dependent on factional party loyalty. Part of this, at least it seems to me, is because of the state’s in and out domestic migration. It’s rare to find a native; people show up for awhile and then move on. The result is that the process of candidate selection becomes one of diversity bundling as a criteria and not demonstrable leadership.
The ideal California candidate these days is probably a progressive Latina lesbian single parent who volunteers at an NGO to protect the Spotted Owl. If you’re a garden-variety white guy who runs against that, you’re pretty much doomed as a candidate no matter how informed and thoughtful you might be about the issues. This is politics as popular theater; it’s not politics as problem solving.
Here’s also a link to an editorial that ran in the Orange County Register yesterday. It gives a more useful idea of what’s going on in California than the piece in the LA Times.
That editorial could have been written about mores states than California. Dems want majority decision making? I don’t think so.
Talked to my brother today and the company he works for will be closing its operations in Cali. I told him he can thank all his union buddies for voting democrat and the union financing the same scumbags.
Businesses have been fleeing California to states with more favorable tax laws. Thousands over the last eight or nine years. Texas comes to mind.
People are finding out that they can actually afford homes in the states that those companies move to.
Real estate in California cities like San Fran has become so expensive that tech companies can’t get anyone to move out there.
Hey, we could use those jobs in the Corn Belt, you know!
“Slow clap….”
That said, sorry your bro is going to have to find a new gig….
This is why the left has such a massive advantage over us.
They have no morals. They have no qualms about bringing in illegal aliens to crush their opponents by mob rule.
“Winning is more important”. Isn’t that the motto of Trump supporter who sacrificed his conservative values to “win”.
Did you misplace your binky Joe?
The penis-shaped, flesh-colored binky? No way he lost that one.
Yes, Joe, assuming that is accurate, I guess one voter is representative of the rest of us. For many of us Trump voters, Hillary’s losing was the most important thing. Everything else that Trump is doing is just so much more icing on the victory cake. Enjoy the crumbs on the floor.
“Winning is more important than the voice of the People.”
Just ask Nancy Pelosi.
Compare “too liberal” California (it’s only got 6th largest economy in the world, is the epicenter of the tech industry, and a hotbed of economic and cultural innovation) with those bastions of conservative social and economic policy, Oklahoma and Kansas, where things are going so well they have run up huge budget deficits, been forced slashed services and spending on education (the Kansas supreme court is making them live up to their educational budget obligations), where corporations and young people are fleeing like rats from a sinking ship. Yeah, sure, California is too liberal….
California is 46 out of 50 states on fiscal condition
Total debt is $118.17 billion and total unfunded pension liabilities are $756.67 billion.
What are you on about?
Lars and Joe… enjoying the ole’ dutch rudder over a map of California.
Given the way they parade it I assume that Joe and Lars are VERY PROUD of their stupidity and arrogance.
People, the achievers, are fleeing California. Correct. That is why California is so hot to import new people. They are losing so very many.
In effect, it only looks attractive to folks from failed states, the “undeveloped” world, and hardcore leftists. Wow. That is a real recommendation.
Let us know how that works out, eh? Especially on the “eat the rich” front., as yours seem to be fleeing in job lots.
California – About to make Venezuela look like a success story.
You nervous Nellies are always grousing about all the bad things that about to happen, even though they never do. Meanwhile, while you’re wringing your hands, California continues to grow and prosper and lead the country and the world. Compare that to Sam Brownback’s conservative paradise. Think death spiral, rats, sinking ship. That is happening NOW, not at some indeterminate point in the future.
Hey Joe – stop talking out of your SJW/Commie ass:

Here’s a big name that made their announcement in February – Nestle:

Tax the fuck out of people and businesses and they will leave for “greener pastures” – ECON 101
Sas the idiot in Colorado that has seen crime skyrocket, business leaving in droves, and deficits skyrocket in the last decade.
And yeah, CA is in fact circling the bowl. For the first time since it became a state, CA did not gain any electoral votes. In fact, were it not for foreign immigration (legal and illegal) they would have LOST about 2-3 million population between 2000-10.
Kansas deficit per resident is a pittance compared to liberal shitholes like CA, NY, and IL. Ever tried to start a business in any of those states? Good fucking luck.
Now go fall off a rock and unclog the kids shitter again.
Any possible voters the dem’s can get to relocate to the OC will likely be from out of state. They’ve experimented down here and were successful in targeting
local republican controlled governments. A local major race in this county I live in, was turned democratic by a democrat operatives undercover video of the now former BOC Chairman and wife espousing racist views, on government owned property.

Two other Georgia counties that were GOP were flipped in the last election as well and with Tom Price (R-GA, 6CD) going to the Trump Admin, the seat he vacated is now in a hotly contested race.
We are seeing more democrat operatives at work in that district and intel indicates more out of state plates turning up in these counties, too. One reason is, someone either in county government OR political party has been busy advertising on billboards, out of state for “free houses” down here.
A number of business owners in this and a neighboring county have stated this what they’ve learned about new customers looking for quick cash at pawn and antique shops.Billboards are reported to be present in metro-areas of Detroit, Chicago, Madison, NYC and other highly impacted democrat controlled area’s.
In the 8th District, literally tens of millions have been pumped in, virtually all if it from out of state.
Senate races cost less.
And both parties know nobody can spend that kind of money on a national scale. Pyrric victory, anyone?
6th, not 8th. Corrected.
