I have seen this state decline a lot in the past years and I started taking a good look at the politicians and their very liberal thinking, I have found that quite a bit of the politicians in this state are not even from here (most of them are either from New York, Massachusetts or New Jersey), so the argument and the hate against us Californians, moving to other states to "liberalize them" is moot, most of us want to get away from these politicians. So what do you think about this?

Wow, another post bashing liberals and California. Are you the same crew that spends all day calling right wing talk shows saying things like..."I'm a liberal, but I can't stand Obamacare and it's death panels."

Seriously, who's paying ya?

To answer your question, most are likely from California.

The governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, and speaker of the assembly are all native Californians. I think your theory is a crock.

Pelosi? Barbara Boxer? I'm sure most people don't even realize that these two big names aren't even from CA originally.

I'm sure most politicians are from CA but there are some big ones that are not. I know at the local level in SF and SD you find a fair amount of former east coasters too.

I'm just trying to ask a simple question, I do not mean to insult anyone.

Well let's invalidate their eligibility to hold office then. Bring on the long-form California birth certificates!

Relative to other states, there might be some truth. Most people in other states wouldn't elect somebody from out of their region. Let's examine our governors. Gray Davis, New York. Arnold, Austria. Pete Wilson and Ronald Reagan were from Illinois. George Deukmejian, New York. Senators: Diane Feinstein, Polish parents (communist influence). Barbara Boxer, New York Jewish. John Seymour, Pennsylvania. Art Agnos, former Mayor of SF, born in Mass. Tom Bradley, former LA Mayor, Texas.

You are right, there has been tons of outside influence in California.

Hillary Clinton? Michael Bloomberg? BARACK OBAMA? Mitt Romney? I don't think most voters care about where a politician was raised but rather about how good of a candidate they are.

She's a native CA and to suggest because she is somehow an "outsider" because her parents are polish and to suggest communist influence is pretty asinine.

Is Hillary Clinton "most people?"

You're "asinine" for not tolerating my views.

Where was their concern when it came to Arnold?

Ironic cause many California 'birthers' against Obama are the exact same lot who wanted to amend the US constitution to let Arnold run for President.
