Default Re: California can boast the worst government in the land!

Herb,


my bother sill lives in Kalifornia and he echos your sentiments. He feels that the wiedos of LA and San Fran do all the electing. Senator Diane Frankenstien was elected by a wierd segment of the population of San Fran and the media while Senator Barby Boxer was elected by illegals and the Hollywood left in LA. So all of America has to suffer because of it. But don't feel too bad. I have talked to people in Colo. and they say pretty much the same thing there. One big city and a college town dominate elections there.


Here is Michigan, Detroit does not dominate but their newspapers are strong and so are the unions in the auto industry. But unions are a mixed bag with the skilled trades workers tending to be more conservative. Conservatives are strong in the Southwestern lower penninsula. So, as a result, conservatives win state wide but liberals win federal elections. But sheriffs and police chiefs dominate local gun laws and they are strongly political. So gun laws are a mixed bag. We have the University of Michigan which competes with Berkley, Cal. on who can be the strangest. But Michigan State University has a agricultural history. So it tends to stay out of the political limelight.


So now lets talk about New York. How does an anti gunner like Senator Shoemmer, or whatever his name is, keep getting elected. I may be biased but I don't see a lot of intelligence in him. Maybe its because he gets his campaign money from the New York city wealthy liberals.


I guess that I am still mad that Cleveland, Ohio. They recently annexed a parcel of land where the Ohio Gun Collectors Association had all their excellent gun shows. Like Los Angeles did at Pamona, the first thing Cleveland did was ban gun shows. Now, the OGCA is having a tough time finding a site big enough to house their popular gun shows. So I am sorry if my frustrations are showing.
