They don’t, and it was not inferred, but there are 80 Democrats and 48 Republicans, not quite 2/3rds

It was inferred, even if it wasn’t implied.

So what you’re saying is, the Dems don’t control the budget, right?

Quaker, Democrats have a 2/3 majority? I did not know that. They don’t, and it was not inferred, but there are 80 Democrats and 48 Republicans, not quite 2/3rds, we are in the process of recalling Anthony Adams, one of the Republicans who sided with Democrats, for the historic raise in taxes in the Golden State, and for those that want to beat up Schwarzenegger, at least he got cuts of spending in the compromise. Again the vote was over 2/3rds no way to survive a veto on that math.

‘Jr. the Democrats control the states budget and have for a long time, its they way it works, the Governor only signs the bill,’

Oh…I get it….Democrats make the Governor sign the bill he’s vehemently opposed to….makes perfect sense.

‘The people had to recall the pervious Governor for the type of corruption that we currently have at the federal level.’

The 8 month old administration is exhibiting sings of corruption, but not the 8 year administration that started a war on a pack of lies, then mismanaged it and lied about it, that flouted the Constitution by illegally spying on US citizens then lied about it, that spit on the Geneva Conventions and lied about it?

Yet NONE of that bothered you, did it?

How long has Republican Schwarzineger been in charge?

Jr. the Democrats control the states budget and have for a long time, its they way it works, the Governor only signs the bill, if it wasn’t for the rule that it takes a 2/3rds of the assembly to raise taxes we would be really screwed. Democrats have a 2/3 majority? I did not know that.

The people had to recall the pervious Governor for the type of corruption that we currently have at the federal level. The LA Times even admits that our recession is not over, and will not be over for some time. Not a Bush or Obama issue, its internal mismanagement, by the Democrats.

‘Aren’t there any problems in Canada that need your attention. It always puzzles me why the Canucks bother with American political blogs.’

Yes, the problem of vast numbers of ignorant American regressives like you.

LOL, You’ve priced yourself out of the market at 30 G’s, shows what you’re worth. I pay my guys that much if they’ll show up 19 out of 20 days a month, have a driver’s license and common sense.
–AO….. FTW

And if they speak English, they’re amply qualified for the job Jaim had to leave the county for, AO.

‘nowhere did I read they were scared’

Which is why he writes about it in the first place and labels them thugs? Because he was so unconcerned about them?

Please.

‘When I was a kid, I was one. But, back then, when the driver had had enough of our wildness, he would stop the bus, and say, “We’re not moving another inch until you kids settle down.” That was usually followed by anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes of quiet.’

They were on a subway, not a bus.

‘I salute you for even having heard of Emily Post. There is hope for you yet.’

The irony of you saluting me on awareness of Emily Post while ignoring the tenets of respect, civility and decorum is obviously lost on you.

AO, and he thinks the Obama Porkulus package is helping the economy,

He’s in good company on that one. The Fed. The Wall Street Journal. But I’m sure you rely on the opinion of someone more reliable–Glenn Beck maybe?

AO, and he thinks the Obama Porkulus package is helping the economy, well I guess he could think I run a Union, or community aggravating group. California is dead, Hell the Democrats shut of the water, now I guess, Obama will turn off the lights.

“BTW, now that I’ve actually read the whole thing by Riehl,”

LOL, How many comments has our little ex-pat made before actually knowing what he was commenting on?

“You can’t afford me.”

I have a job. You can’t afford me. And while LA is nice to visit, it’s one of that last places I’d ever want to live. California is in a bad way right now. Seoul is a hell of a lot more fun and interesting.

I’m glad to hear you’re hiring, however. Obama’s stimulus package is working as needed. And the Bush Recession is finally over. (Let’s hope the recovery is as speedy as possible.)

Jaim, if you spend word for word with me, I shall make your wit bankrupt. You write yet say nothing, so I surmise that you are declining the job offer in the fair City of Angels. How proud your parents must be for sending their darling abroad to represent America’s greatness.

You are truly a wonder! – Impaler

“I can get you a work visa for the USA”

US citizens don’t need work visas for their home country, dumbass.

Hard to believe you’ve made it out of the US. I have a hard time imagining you making your way to the airport.

“Why is it so impossible for wing-nut bigots to understand that living abroad is really fulfilling in a lot of ways?”
Jaim, I can get you a work visa for the USA, I am starting to wonder if you have ever really lived here.

As for living abroad, I have done so in the Army, and I have a home in Indonesia. I spend on average 2 months a year in Asia. I love it, and America/Asia business is where the money is, and oh wise Jaim what part of the enlightened world do you reside?

BTW, now that I’ve actually read the whole thing by Riehl, he isn’t just saying what a bigoted little coward he is (“OMG, BLACK PEOPLE!”) he also has a little quip at the end about how he and his buddies could “take” the kids out if they had to.

So on the one hand, he’s a sniveling little bitch, and on the other hand he’s manly-man claiming that a group of adults could beat up a group of, in his own words, “kids.”

Stay classy, Republicans. Your cowardice knows no bounds.
