Large population spread over a large area with diverse religion, ethnicity, and cultures. We are all over the place, except for some things because I can't for the life of me figure out why we constantly vote for the same people over and over and over again.

Central CA, Orange County and San Diego County are definitely twisted Right Wing Bastions just like San Francisco and the East bay along with Hollyweird and LA are sandal wearing Grapenut Strongholds.

My basic attitude is *if* they are going to take from me, and I don't like it (who does) I rather redistribution start at the bottom than Sugar Companies, corp farms and Bankers.

We should avoid war but *if* we do it come down on them like a ton of bricks. No BS.

I don't care what you do in personal life so long at doesn't effect someone else negatively.

There is no party for me.

Hey most people on this forum are left leaning. Poll is wrong.

You may be right leaning compared to San Francisco politics (e.g. Gavin Newsom) but you are not right leaning overall.

Extreme conservatives? Surely you're not speaking of the governor.

Yes California has a deep divide, but I find the CRP to be horridly moderate.

No not the governor at all. He's very centrist. (much to my liking)

Yes, extreme conservatives. California is home to some of the most conservative places in the entire nation. There's a reason why OCguy on here is so conservative... he's from Orange County, CA, a place renowned countrywide for it's heavy conservative tilt.

For an example look at a posting from a paper on state legislature ideologies that I linked awhile back during that Scozzafava mess. Look at all the other states... and then look at California.

Hahaha, nice. Did you stop and think for a minute that maybe they just look left leaning from where you're standing?

The Left leaning haven't figured out how to vote in our polls yet; nobody here from ACORN to help them vote.

Yeah I'm born and raised LA County. You're forgetting though, Southern Californians aren't to fond of Northern Californians and vice versa. Even if they do agree. I mean come on! The mother fuckers up there say "hella" ffs!

Pfft, your weather blows compared to ours and you have WAY to many hippies and hipsters to even make it a viable place to live. Again, you guys say "hella" you're automatically inferior to us because of it.

Yes because Northern California doesn't have any bad areas or gang bangers... lol. We have a pro football team, the Chargers. We also have the better basketball and baseball teams. Not to mention all the cool amusement parks are down here.

Of course San Diego is included, they are from Southern California. I actually like San Diego and the people from San Diego. Atleast we have the kick ass amusement parks with long lines, you guys have to travel all the way down here to visit them, I have to drive 30 minutes.

I'm really surprised you haven't pulled the Inland Empire(909) card yet. I would have to concede that, but no one with a brain even considers them part of Southern California. It's just some shit hole located here, but I mean come on you guys have Stockton and that place is a fucking shit hole.

eskimospy, you weren't even born here you get no say. San Diego is part of Southern California and I think San Diego is an awesome place. Personally I'm not a huge fan of the OC. The Inland Empire for the most part needs to be done away with. I think everyone from and living here can agree that place fucking sucks and we should remove it from California.

BTW I live in Boston now which is great until the winter months hit.

All of SC sucks. Concrete Jungle, pretentious snobs and you gotta be a gazillionaire to live by water.
