"So here's my question: If this week's election returns demonstrate that the vast majority of the country is moving to the right, why do the West Coast and the Northeast continue to embrace liberalism, especially when it has led to economic disaster?"


……”California……. (is) on the verge of bankruptcy and, according to Forbes magazine, (is) hostile to business due to high taxation and strict regulation of commerce. California currently owes $158 billion …..in debt. But Senator Barbara Boxer in the Golden State,…….  a big spender, won (her) respective races easily."


"Mrs. Boxer is a classic tax-and-spend liberal who never met an entitlement program she didn't want to vacation with. So why did she coast on the coast? The answer has to be that the "where's mine" culture has taken deep root out west; people want stuff from government, and deficits be damned."


“So while the rest of the country has thrown the big-spending rascals out, the liberal power structure holds on in select areas, no matter how dismal the economy is. In his press conference after the Democrats got hammered, President Obama showed some humility, but he also knows that come 2012, he'll begin with 86 electoral votes courtesy of California and New York, no matter what he does.”


“If Barbara Boxer can win reelection based upon her economic vision, than Joy Behar should be appointed Secretary of State. All Americans should vote for problem-solvers and people who have proved their ability to improve the country for all of us. I know... I'm dreaming.”
