  I don’t know… people who want to live in a nice place that doesn’t suck?

  @MAMMALONE Yet again, I find myself agreeing wholeheartedly with you thoughtful comments. Unfortunately most people just re-actively hate California because that‘s what they think they’re supposed to do. And a lot of them are just jealous. :-)

  Fine California will go away and take it‘s natural resources and the tax revenue form it’s 660,000 millionaires. And we’ll take Apple and Goode and CalTech and all of silicon Valley with us. Hope you don’t enjoy watching TV, movies or listening to music either…cuz we’re taking those too.

  Do you have any idea how much tax revenue (i.e. tax welfare for lots of states) would dry up if California left? Think about it. This country would lose it’s richest and most successful citizens. Don’t be ridiculous.

  I can’t IMAGINE anyone preferring to live in Texas than in California. Wow…let’s see….mountains and oceans and beautiful forests or hot dusty scrub land? Tough decision. :-)

  Yeah…it’s the “idiot state” that provides much tax welfare for the rest of the states and is home to Apple, Google, and the vast bulk of the entertainment industry which is just about America’s only export anymore. Most states WISH they had 1/100th of the quality of life Californians enjoy. Everyone hates a winner.

  In reply to BenFrank1791.

  Oh man…I’m sorry. I didn’t the joke but I do now. My apologies for my reply. In my defense, perhaps I’m just too used to reading really stupid comments form really stupid people. Looks like I was the stupid one here.

• Romney Reaffirms DREAM Act Promise, Tells Illegals to ‘Get in Line’ With Those Applying for Citizenship Legally

  In reply to Bush Hating Conervatives make me sick.

  Please don’t speak for all of us when saying Reagan was “our hero”. Unlike some here perhaps, I’m not a wide-eyed child.

• Obama Re-Election Campaign Accuses Romney of Being a ‘Corporate Raider’ and Exploiting the Middle Class

  FREEDOMPURVEYOR Even though it was juts a snarky comment, I‘ll comment Of course they don’t’ fire EVERYBODY, but I’ve seen their practice first hand. And some of those friends in fact WERE fired. And are you seriulsly with a straight face telling me the number of pages is proof that it wasn’t a model? Maybe “inspiration” or “test case” would be more suitable. But really, do you deny the similarities? Surely you don’t. And OF COURSE a national plan has more details and required information, and yes…pages…than a plan for a single state. It’s pretty straight-forward.

  I’ll agree iwth you on one point. You are absolutely right that Bain is in the business of profit…not creating jobs. And yes jobs are in fact a byproduct. It’ just that the byproduct is lack of jobs. They make profits by cutting jobs. Job creation my azz. It‘s going to be hard to convince me otherwise of something I’ve seen with my own eyes.

• SOPA Put on Hold, White House Says Online Piracy Bill ‘Reduces Freedom of Expression’

  In reply to sane_man.

  I’m not a zombie at all. I think perhaps you missed my point. Sorry to have you waste your well constructed silence of the lambs analogy. I‘m not saying people should like Obama because he’s against the bill. Not at all. I’m saying people could just say “good, I‘m glad he’s against it” and move on. Instead, they somehow use it as yet another reason to bash him. It’s the way zealots act and zealots lose credibility real quick. It’s partly why Obama will no doubt stay in office while the Republican party tries to fix itself. It’s frustrating to watch the ideologues at work. Is it now more clear what I’m complaining about? I’m complaining bout mindlessness and “hate obama first” attitude.
