California Tells Colin Powell He’s Full Of Hooha…

Remember the other week when Colin Powell, a phony-Republican of the John McCain wing, said this:
The Republican Party is in deep trouble,” Powell told corporate security executives at a conference in Washington sponsored by Fortify Software Inc. The party must realize that the country has changed, he said. “Americans do want to pay taxes for services,” he said. “Americans are looking for more government in their life, not less.”
First of all, I’m sick of the media portaying this lib as a main stream Republican. He is certainly in no way a conservative, and like it or not, conservatives are taking the Republican party back. I mean this clown voted for Obama for cryin’ out loud.
So here’s a little memo to Colin Powell from the state of California… get over yourself, moron.
This from the Reuters:
California rejects budget fix, fiscal future cloudy
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) – Hard-hit California faces new, deep cuts in education and thousands of state layoffs after voters soundly defeated ballot measures to bolster the state’s finances, leaving Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and lawmakers with a budget gap of more than $21 billion.
More than 60 percent of voters rejected five fiscal measures on the ballot in Tuesday’s special election. A sixth measure barring pay raises for state officials amid deficits was approved by about 74 percent of voters.
Dire warnings of fiscal calamity by Schwarzenegger and echoed by top lawmakers failed to sway voters, who said they disliked the specifics in the measures — including a spending cap, extending tax increases, borrowing against lottery revenues and tapping dedicated funds.
Outside a polling place in Oakland, Californiaon Tuesday, John Brockage said he had lost faith in the state’s leaders and could not back the fiscal measures. “We have a dope for a governor and the legislature is completely incompetent,” he said. “I voted ‘no’ on all of them.”
DEEP SPENDING CUTS CERTAIN
Voters left unanswered how Schwarzenegger and lawmakers should address the state’s weakening finances.
Last week Schwarzenegger said the government of the most populous state in the United States faced a shortfall of $15.4 billion for its next fiscal year even if the fiscal measures were approved — underscoring the severe downturn in state revenue amid recession and double-digit unemployment.
Folks, this was a thorough rebuke of the liberal way of governance. California said no to bigger government. No to higher taxes. No to more BS bandaid approaches to their financial problems. No to more spending. No to politics as damn ususal. No to liberal policies, and the mess they have lead to…. and no to the tax and spend socialist Obama agenda.
General Powell, as the voters of California have made abundantly clear, not even 2 weeks after your asinine statement… you are well over your head in the political arena, so let’s stick to the $100K+ speaking circuit and leave the politics out of them.
