California’s GOP Is Near COLLAPSE

Last edited Mon Jul 23, 2012, 04:10 PM USA/ET - Edit history (1)

 





"..According to a report in the New York Times, California’s Republican Party is on its way to becoming a minor party. Only 30% of the State’s electorate is Republican, compared to 43% who are Democrats and 21% who are independents. A consultant to the GOP, Allan Hoffenblum, pointed out that the 30% figure means Republicans can’t win a statewide election. “You just can’t get enough crossover voters. They have alienated large swaths of voters. They have become too doctrinaire on the social issues. It’s become a cult.? Wow! And this is a guy who works for the party!




In spite of the fact that the state is embroiled in economic turmoil while all three branches of its government are controlled by Democrats, not a single Republican holds statewide office. The prognosis for change isn’t good, either. Another Republican consultant, Steve Schmidt, said, “The institution of the California Republican Party, I would argue, has effectively collapsed. It doesn’t do any of the things that a political party should do. It doesn’t register voters. It doesn’t recruit candidates. It doesn’t raise money. The Republican Party in the state institutionally has become a small ideological club that is basically in the business of hunting out heretics…When you look at the population growth, the actual party is shrinking. It’s becoming more white. It’s becoming older.”




On Sunday, the GOP’s presumptive presidential nominee, Mitt Romney, told a crowd at a San Francisco fundraiser that, “Boy, somebody’s got to do something for California…the right leadership would make a difference here.” Not only doesn’t the ‘right’ Republican leadership exist in the state, but 30% of the electorate can’t even come close to delivering the California vote to Romney.




Instead of indulging in pipe dreams, Romney and his GOP boosters ought to be worried about this old saying: “As California goes, so goes the nation.” Hunting out heretics…shrinking…becoming more white…aging? Could California be signaling not only the demise of the Republican Party in the state but also (gulp) sounding its death knell nationwide?

This used to be true but not anymore. California has stepped in it too many times and most of the country is sick of them. Most of the state is pretty darn nice and there are still a lot of good people living there but the big cities are a mess. The problem is with the large population centers, they are filled with LIBERALS and they have taken over politically placing a strangle hold on the rest of the state. Add to the mix Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein and you have a real issue. If California doesn't wake up and deal with their economic issues and their crime rate they are going to implode. They just cannot continue along their current path and more liberalism is not the answer.

I say let California before the black pock mark on America it is on the fast track to becoming. Let it be the brown stain that it is already showing clear, smelly shades of. SHOW everybody what the DU, and the leftist way of thinking brings a state.

...and then take that star off the flag. We can live with 49 states, and it will only strengthen the resolve of decent, and civilized people about who, and where we want to be as a nation.

When a forrest grows too wild, there is a natural fire that sparks to purge it. I say let it happen.

I haven't heard one person in dozens of years speak wistfully of California as in times past.  It's become a place to be mocked and shunned, rightfully so.

I do recall some talk about northern CA splitting from the southern half.  A move such as that might save some good and decent northern residents.

Gotta love the RINOs who keep wanting to drop the social issues.  Wasn't it just four years ago that a majority of Californians attempted to protect the definition of marriage in their state?

Well, there was The Mason-Dixon line. But San Francisco is about the middle of the state so what will we call the line...Disco line...Fairy line...Nancy P. line?

Read this somewhere else, seems like California is trying to emulate Detroit.

If anyone thinks California is in great shape? they must be living in gated communities, the point comes though where their personal wealth will be effected, we'll see if they cheer so loudly after that happens.

I've never even had a desire to visit CA much less live there.  Is there really such a difference between the northern and southern halves?  I've always heard that and, if true, feel bad for those stuck with destructive liberal policies they voted against.

Yes, we are 'stuck" with being held hostage by S.F, LA, etc..... Don't judge the entire state and it's people by the small areas that have a strangle hold on the rest of us.

1. If the NYT says something then there is a 90% chance the opposite is true or will become true.

2. If it were not for the ports here the state would be sunk.

3. 35% of all USA welfare recipients live in kalifornia (that is not included in the blue states give more than red to the feds).

4. kalifornia is what the manifestation of what the big-gov totalitarians want; an elite class, a permanent lower class, and state workers. It is what the USSR and all socialist states eventually become, a nice place for state workers and elites. Other people not so much.

5. there is not so much a line running east-west but north-south that is 10 miles from the coast.

No, I really don't judge the entire state or population.  Like too many states some deep blue metropolitan areas hold entire states hostage.  I do sympathize with those hostages and am thankful that Atlanta doesn't have the hold on GA that LA/SF have on CA.
