Losing Illinois, fighting for their lives in Cali...its not shaping up to be a fun November for the Democrats. How will they spin it?

Is Campbell even expected to win the primary?

Is Campbell even expected to win the primary?

From what I have seen in primary polls, yes.

Campbell made his claim to fame in California as a moderate Republican especially on social issues, a person of honesty and integrity who didn't always tow the party line, and then the filthy worthless piece of scum, after a long, difficult, and exhausting moral struggle made the weighty and carefully deliberated decision, to vote to impeach Clinton. In other words this piece of shit threw to the wind all his carefully created pretense that he was a real person of integrity and voted with his party on a matter so disgustingly transparently necessary for his party standing and funding for re-election and which he consciously knew to be a total farce a total distraction and a total evil. I fart in his direction.

On the other hand that worthless piece of scum Boxer voted for the war in Iraq and told her then that next time she was up for re-election I'd vote for a real Republican rather than a spineless worm.

I don't think any honest Representative could have failed to impeach Clinton after blatant perjury and suborning perjury, although I agree it wasn't serious enough for removal. But failure to impeach would have removed any vestige that the elites function under the same laws as the rest of us, especially since the Clinton DoJ had fired and even jailed people for the exact same offense of lying under oath about an affair.

I'm going to be truly amazed if California removes Boxer for anyone. It's one thing to say you're going to vote Republican; it's quite another to actually vote for one. Polls at this point are an easy way to express disgust, but in November I expect California will cling to the federal teat as tenaciously as ever.

More like the federal government will cling to the Californian teat as we pay more then we receive.

The federal government does not vote to elect California's (or any state's) senators; California (in the form of its many voters) does.

Are there any states that receive more than they pay?

Yep, mostly in the South.

Yep, I know Alabama is one - I remember this was a discussion a while ago as people were saying it was mostly red states receiving more than they paid.

Yep, mostly in the South.

Links?

Southern states are typically small government types that vote strongly Republican. The idea that eastern, western and northern states vote for Democrats and big government socialist redistribution policies only to see their money flow to the red states is hilarious. talk about the law of unintended consequences!

I'm too lazy to look up links but I know I've seen the data on numerous occasions right here in this forum. If you don't believe me I guess I'll have to live with it.

So, who are you going to vote for?

I wonder when the California bailout talks will start

The redistribution is on a federal level and has happened when Republicans were in charge at state / federal levels just as when Democrats are in charge. It's all a way to set a general status quo in the country.

I don't see any merit to the point you were trying to make on the topic.

Here is a link to a chart showing amount of Fed money received vs paid by state for 2005:
http://www.taxfoundation.org/taxdata/show/266.html

California gets 78 cents from the federal govt. for every tax dollar it pays.

 

[nick1985]

Well, this thread is derailed.

 

[jacc1234]

Definitely, this thread is now about how much better Democratic states are than Republican ones .

Damn Texas and Florida are the only two Southern States that pay out more than they get

 

[jacc1234]

Texas = Oil
Florida = Money from northern states via tourism.

The south. Retards.

It's basically a blue/red state split, ironically enough. I've never understood why those who get a disproportionate share of federal money whine, but it's a sad fact of human nature.

They like to complain about NY,MA and CA but without those states the Red States would have to pull more of their own weight. If they had to do that you'd really hear them snivel.

Please feel free to address the welfare south anytime. I'm sure the teabaggers are all aware that they take more then they give and are fighting to lower taxes for the blue states so we don't have to hold them up.

Hate to tell you this but there are Teabaggers in the North and in CA too.
