Well, tonight I'll pray to God and ask him to solve this problem for us. That should help.

You should be banned for that statement.

We saw with Proposition 8 that California has no problem targeting disfavored groups and taking away privileges and freedoms that they once had, so this latest ballot measure really isn't a surprise.

Homosexuals, children of illegal immigrants... Which "undesirable" minority will be targeted next?

Could it be that the citizens of California are finally realizing just how much illegal immigration is costing them? I bet they will continue to destroy the state before they would admit how wrong they are supporting illegal immigrants.

Come to think of it, it was blacks and hispanics that voted against gay marriage. Maybe California should rethink driving illegals out. We all know they vote whether liberals deny it or not.

No. This is reaction caused mostly by the recession. People like to have someone to blame for their problems. Reference "Hitler and the Jews" for a little background on this phenomenon.

Yeah, it's hard to decide who to hate more, isn't it? Such a dilemma.

That's one thing consistant with liberals, denial of real facts, real truth and reality. Like I said, liberals will destroy the state before they admit they were wrong.

Nope. The word hate is over the top but no it's not hard at all. Remember I'm a conservative so confusion is not something I deal with.

california will probably go ahead and have a meltdown:

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger had proposed cutting $16 billion from state programs, borrowing $2 billion from local governments and raiding other government accounts worth about $6 billion to close the deficit.
Democrats have countered with $11 billion in cuts and nearly $2.5 billion in higher taxes, primarily on tobacco products and companies that drill for oil in California. They also want a $15 increase in the vehicle registration fee, which already was raised earlier this year, to ensure that state parks remain open.
Schwarzenegger and Republican lawmakers have steadfastly refused to raise taxes after the state Legislature approved nearly $13 billion in higher sales, personal income and vehicle taxes earlier this year.

the democrats want taxes on top of taxes because they don't want to cut government so california is in real trouble!
