I did a Google search to see what the hoopla was about:



Wow! What a G.I.L.F.!

You're lucky...

Here's mine:



Ugh!

Well... that depends a lot on your defenition of "Liberal".

The NE is more about politics while CA is very "young", "retro" and "hip". I mean, with Hollywood, LA and San Fransisco all in the same state, it's not hard to believe that the entertainment industry is most important.

Meanwhile in the NE, "liberal" actually means something.

Again... it depends largly on how you define "liberal".

The babes of the governor's mansions...Michigan's Gov. Granholm:

There are pockets of progressives, but believe it or not California overall has traditionally been a conservative state. Prop 187, Pete Wilson, Reagan, Nixon, Dukmejan, Ahnold, Feinstein, etc. The Hollywood elites and UC-Berkeley students may project a different image, but the state is much larger than just the LA and SF areas.

I'm a 19 year old college student. Grew up on the south side of chicago in a housiong project, but I was born in Harlem, New York. i'm half mexican half algerian, who loves the place I live but hate the people in charge. And I will be rich when I get older  .

It's only the 28th... you still can...

Born 1957 in Chicago, grew up on the outskirts of the city near Midway airport, the last 20 years in suburbs of DuPage county. Lifelong slo-pitch softball player (16", then 12"), spend my vacations hiking & backpacking. BA Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, middle-income manager in warehousing. Family was involved in the labor movement in 1920's & 30's, fighting for decent working conditions and a living wage. Taught at a young age that prejudice was wrong, was saddened when MLK was assassinated while most of my classmates celebrated.

Aside from GW Bush, I think LBJ was worst president in my lifetime. His Great Society, though well intended, fostered welfare dependency and discouraged marriage while his war in Vietnem was an obscene waste that destroyed the promise of the 1960's. LBJ's saving grace was signing civil rights legislation he knew would hurt his party, but that had the ill effect of pushing the South to the Republicans.

I vote for the lesser of two evils, the Democrats, because the environment is my #1 issue and because the Republicans first and foremost serve the interests of the wealthy few. In our electoral system in which money buys influence, the wealthy elite already wield political power out of all proportion to their numbers. I think the growing chasm between the rich and the rest of us corrupts and subverts what is supposed to be our representative democracy.

The social issues (abortion, homosexuality, religion) are of much less importance to me than changing a militaristic foreign policy that is alienating our friends, breeding more enemies, and draining our treasury. I knew Bush was lying about Iraq before the details of those lies came out. He and Cheney should have been impeached ten times over by now, but Congressional Democrats apparently value short-term electoral success more than their sworn duty to uphold Constitutional rule of law. The Republicans are worse, overwhelmingly siding with a secretive, criminal administration that ignores checks & balances and seeks to expand executive power in a perpetual war on a tactic.

The Republican mantra that government is the problem is only half right. Government isn't the problem when it serves the interests of an informed, engaged citizenry. Government is the problem when power is concentrated in a few who act in secrecy and hold themselves above the law.

I feel ya, brother. I have a 17 year old step-daughter.

Brutal.


I really think this generation of young people are going out of their way to sound ignorant as if it's some badge or something.
