Was there an oil spike for 1 year out of 8? Yep. 12%. Of course thats Bushs fault. And that run up since the community organizer got elected? Like everything else thats ever gone wrong its Bushs fault. But when it reversed and oil got cheap in 2007? That was probably because of Obama and Pelosi. You've spent too much time in that bankrupt bastion of liberalism and bankruptcy California. The only difference between you and the rest of the Newport Beach stoners, surfers, and trust funders is that you know how to rock a suit. Props for that though.

You're drowning in your own b.s. again.

California got hammered by Enron jacking around energy rates, which led to the recall there, and a conservative governor who left CA deep in debt.

Uh huh.

That's why the new "socialist" governor has actually been more effective in slashing the budget (including education)

"Free spending liberals"?

GWB was a liberal?

Brian -

Everything you are saying is inaccurate.

You are making a fool of yourself time and time again.

I am wondering if you are a little retarded 12 year old girl. Because then your comments would make a little sense.

Everyone who has ever been to California, knows anything about California, or knows how the world works, knows that Orange County is the most conservative part of California. And Newport Beach might be the center of that.

I really don't think I have had a discussion with a more retarded person. Maybe Dash. Maybe a 12 year old girl.

Anyone can go back on this thread and see how much of a moron you are being.

I will quote you again for fun:

California is not as liberal as you might think. We voted against gay marriage. I don't even think it passed in the city of San Francisco.

Bankruptcy? The whole country is practically bankrupt, not only us.

Newport beach is in the heart of Orange County, conservative country. Just because they surf doesn't make them a liberal. We have alot of closet conservatives.

Enron was doing all kinds of illegal shit. We had power shortages and 2 years later we found out that the "shortages" were fake. Enron was faking the "power outages" to raise prices in California. We heard them on tape admitting it.

Wasn't their CEO convicted and sentenced to 20 years?

Allegedly, out governor was in bed with them.

This is when a lot of people in my generation started to distrust politicians and corporations.

Governor Gray Davis, went down because it made him look incapable of dealing with the utilities and keeping the power on among other things. He was not in bed with them.

There is more to the story then what was shown in that documentry.

I remember hearing and reading about taped conversations that showed Governor Davis "negotiating" with the Enron guys. There were not allowed in court and they were sort of swept under the rug.

I will search around for them. I could be wrong.

Apparently there were back-room deals but not with Davis
The idea was to get rid of him..
Anyway let us know what you find out

More data.

Brian - Orange county is mostly conservative.

L.A. on the other hand is liberal.

A better way of looking at it would really be to see which areas are liberal/conservative and which areas are broke.

I think that might be very telling.

I'm quite sure that Orange County went bankrupt in the 90's.

Edit: G would be the expert on this, since he's from there himself.

This is typical "dog-whistle" speech. It's coded, subtle racist language that's supposed to stir up the racist segment of the base. This strategy is over 100 years old. You speak in ways that resonate with scared whites, but isn't super explicit. Then, you have the plausible deniability of saying, "that wasn't racist." It comes around like Halley's Comet every election season.

The new technique, perfected by George W. Bush, is to put a black or Latino face in the front of a crowd or in a prominent office. That person then works against the interests and views of a majority people in that demographic. See: Condoleeza Rice; Alberto Gonzalez. The latest version was Herman Cain. "Look, we're not racists, we briefly entertained nominating a black person too."

[Duke Castile]

That's quite the brilliant strategy you're employing yourself there Tuth. You're accusing a party in a way where they have to address your accusation by proving a negative, which is impossible. It would be like me accusing you of being a non practicing homosexual. No matter what you say to the contrary I can just say, "well you're just non practicing."

I mean, did I hear you correctly by saying that Republicans put minorities in positions of power in order to hide that they're really racists. Or that Republicans only pretended to lover Herman Cain until a liberal media went apeshit and decided to smear him? Does David Axelrod take all this into account when he uses his go to move of bringing up sexual misconduct to bring down one of Obama's opponents?

Subtle racist comments? You can't get a black democrat on TV without him raising racist issues or talking about how the "evil" republicans will cut entitlement benefits.

News flash, you can't accuse republicans of being racists because they want to cut entitlement benefits and at the same time accuse them of being scared of black people having success (thereby eliminating the need for black people to be on entitlement benefits).

As soon as someone posts something this ignorant and far fetched they should be penalized. This crap is just so insulting.

Man, Fisto, you just cheered me up (not being sarcastic here). I just got back from a first meet-up ("date") with the cutest-ass girl, who dropped the one of those super-annoying, eleventh-hour boyfriend-bombs. She was a thin, feminine, charming girl. Five-foot-two, stylish, Mediterranean look, twenty-one years old (foreign; only been here like three weeks). I was a little annoyed (like WTF?!), though--at the same time--I couldn't help but help but remember something Roosh posted a while ago about feeling better being rejected by some Polish girl than actually fucking an American girl. Instead of being really pissed at her (like I should have been), I was actually a little disappointed. I was a weird cocktail of pissed, disappointed, and irritated.

Then, I come back here, and read the bolded comment above in this thread, and just bust up laughing. Good hit. I got nothing but love for you guys, even when I disagree with you like crazy and don't know you personally. Welcome back, Fisto: I love how you're fighting the good fight in this thread. Of course I think you're oh-so-wrong, but you're working it and I respect your love for this country.
