California Disappoints America.....

Prop 19 has failed

The lame ####### 'war on drugs' as is continues......

It was destined to fail with the Feds getting ready to invalidate it. Just like 1070 - the states cannot trump Federal policy.

Even my hippie pot smoking friends voted against it. They didn't like the way it was structured. But, California voters did vote to raise taxes all over the place, including taxing Medicinal Marijuana Dispensaries.

1070 doesn't do anything against Federal law....

and while Prop 19 would, the Feds have neglected to truly go after medicinal marijuana yet either, which is interesting in itself as it doesn't recognize it.

Would have been nice but expected.

[DEDixon 39]

I voted for it.

Yes, we can. We just gotta keep pushing. #### the Feds.

Hard to believe but I agree with you.

Why is it hard to believe? I'm no fan of big government. I'm not a "socialist lover" either.

[Obama 2012 1,714]

they also disappointed us in giving Pelosi 80% of the vote....

truly pathetic.

It's truly a dysfunctional state in so many ways.

California .. "The Golden State" as it was once known just decades ago, lead the country in education, business, innovation, opportunity and yes.... Ronald Reagan.

THESE STATES HAVE TO SINK OR SWIM ON THEIR OWN WITHOUT BAILOUTS FORM THE OTHERS.

California is going through a bad spell, they also do not pay enough taxes and are suffering like Greece is, for the very same reason.

You want to know about dysfunctional, have a look at Mississippi, the state is the butt of jokes, yet the rep senator still wants more cuts. That is when you know the place is full of clowns.

Apart from Texas and possibly cities in NC, the majority of Red states are not equipped for the 21st century, certainly not with their 19th century mindset and workers. Why else do you think Rand Paul picked Kentucky? He capitalized on stupid, you think people in Boston or educated states would vote for him?

given what gems boston has given us in the past, that's hardly a valid statement.

Considering you are on a federal payroll, I would not be hating on those Dems. It's also extremely hypocritical.

A company who extracts their revenue from the federal government. Just because a shitty private contractor does something does not mean it's not government.

Wakey wakey - ya'll.
