					<description><![CDATA[MBunge:

We apparently need more of your kind in CA.  You could whip us pathetic whiners into ship shape in no time.

FYI, at the county and local level we do have Republicans here, and state representatives.  However my rural county has a population of about 45,000, and we are proudly the 45th largest county in the state.  How do you think that stacks up against Los Angeles county or the SF Bay area, both of which are overwhelmingly LIBERAL and are in the millions?

I do not consider myself a whiner but rather a realist.  And the reality is that what the liberals have done in CA in terms of rigging the election of US Senators so that the GOP cannot put a candidate on the ballot (by changing election laws), they are going to try to do in other states as well (or already have done so).  It&#039;s easy to criticize us from afar, wait until it&#039;s your turn.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[MBunge:

Your argument about Hillary makes no sense.

Hillary also walks, talks, and breathes, but it doesn&#039;t make those things wrong.  Nor do I have a clue whether she really cares about other people&#039;s children or just pretends to.  But it is utterly irrelevant to my argument.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Final clue about argument with a Bunge, word of the Bunge:

&quot;Here’s a strategy. STOP DOING WHAT ISN’T WORKING. That’s the simplest and easiest strategy in the world. It doesn’t require you to actually do anything. You just have to stop doing stuff that’s harmful to your own side.&quot;

&quot; .....It doesn’t require you to actually do anything.  ....&quot;

Did you notice that this makes no sense,   Bungey?  All while you actively work, or rant, about the only large organization that isn&#039;t the Democrats. Because in Bunge world there is no difference.  Who exactly is the Bunge side?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[You can&#039;t accept that the left are a bigger threat than the GOPextinct?  If you can&#039;t grasp that reality why should anyone bother with what you rant about.  It decimates your credibility.   

Telling Homeric, who lives in CA, what he has to do from your bolt hole in the midwest is pathetic.

Rant on, it&#039;s how you roll.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&quot;You can’t figure out who is the biggest threat, even yet?&quot;


Dude, how old are you?  I ask because I&#039;ve encountered a lot of younger folks online who, like you, don&#039;t know how to argue.

					<description><![CDATA[&quot;The GOP puts forward candidates, but because of the “Top Two Candidates Primary Act” which took effect January 1, 2011, the GOP cannot get a candidate for the US Senate even on the ballot.&quot;


Who cares about the U.S. Senate?  How about schools boards?  City councils?  Mayors?  County supervisors?

And, frankly, the “Top Two Candidates Primary Act” shouldn&#039;t really be much of a hurdle for any organized GOP and any decent and well-funded GOP candidate to get over.  All you need is to get 34% in the primary.  It&#039;s physically impossible for the Democrats to split the other 66% in any fashion that results in two Democrats on general election ballot.

So any California Republican whining about the “Top Two Candidates Primary Act” is just admitting they can&#039;t find candidates who can get even 34% of the vote.  The answer is to get BETTER ORGANIZED and get BETTER CANDIDATES.  For pete&#039;s sake, Donald Trump got 34.3% of the vote in California in 2020 without, as far as I know, lifting a finger or spending a dollar in the state.

					<description><![CDATA[&lt;i&gt;My little rural county always votes Republican and sends our representative Tom McClintock to the House (92%) conservative rating. We do what we can but the plain fact is they greatly outnumber us here.&lt;/i&gt;

Tom McClintock is an example of the GOP always  stepping on its own d**k.  He should have been Governor but Bill Simon Jr, a nebbish son of a good Sec Treasury under Ford, had more outside money and won the GOP primary.  The result was Grey Davis and the electricity crisis of 2001-2.  McClintock also ran in the recall but was unable to make headway against the celebrities Riordan and Arnold.  Arnold finished the destruction of the CA GOP.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&quot;Got any grand plans stratagems, or even a dissertation to deal with those cold hard facts?&quot;


Here&#039;s a strategy.  STOP DOING WHAT ISN&#039;T WORKING.  That&#039;s the simplest and easiest strategy in the world.  It doesn&#039;t require you to actually do anything.  You just have to stop doing stuff that&#039;s harmful to your own side.

And here&#039;s the kicker.  When you stop doing what isn&#039;t working, it becomes much, MUCH easier to figure out what might work instead.

Is that too much for you to handle all at once?
