Schwarzenegger to Close 220 State Parks

Gemini Cricket · 05-29-2009, 03:17 PM

Lately, when it comes to social issues, I'm finding less of a difference between Republicans and Democrats. ie. Lots of the Democrat lawmakers in Hawaii are elephants in donkey costumes.

Closing the parks is ridiculous, of course, and legalizing pot, I agree, would ease some pain (yes, I fully intend the irony there, and full disclosure dictates that I state that I am now eligible for medicinal marijuana, so take it as you will) but I would like to know why, with such a terrible budgetary mess, California still supplies so much aid to Mexico in the form of health services, education, etc to illegal aliens? Cut off the money to illegals, impose stiff penalties on hiring them, and send them home, and I have no doubt the budget will bounce back further than it will by closing some campgrounds. Why is nobody focusing in on the real problems and real solutions?

Want to see some changes? Help with the effort to recall Schwarzenegger.

Bad idea as it will accomplish as much god as the Davis recall did: virtually none.

What narrow-sighted political bigotry. The Dems are as equally f-ed up as the Reps.

Not at all. An unregulated market is a conservative ideal, not a progressive one.

You didn't say Progressives, you said "Democrats." They are most certainly NOT one and the same.

Got it: Republicans are evil incarnate and Democrats are pure as the driven snow.

Anyone who believes that one party is A-OK while the other is the sole cause of the current situation is clueless. We're all in this together. Both parties had their hand in this. To think otherwise is just foolish.

Quoted for posterity!

Seriously though, while I agree that neither party is perfect, the past eight years has led me realize that average Republican polititians are far worse than the average Democratic ones.
