Split California?

You betcha! And here's why:

California land mass consists of some 155,959.34 square miles (ref http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/06000.html). Los Angeles county is 4,060.87 square miles and the counties that make up the bay area (Marin, Alameda, Contra Costa, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara Yolo and Solona) together are 6342.06 square miles. Combined (Los Angles county and the Bay Area) there are 10402.93 square miles of this state infested with ultra liberals. That makes 6.67 percent of the area of California that is being controlled by extreme left wing liberals! Put another way, those of us living in the other 93 percent of the state have virtually no voice in our state government.


Well of course, not everyone in the 7 percent area is ultra liberal, and those living in the 93 percent area aren't all conservative. But the numbers and actions don't lie. It is a fact that our state government is controlled entirely by liberal democrats. The minority republicans no longer have any real say in how the state is run.

The result of this inequity is that business are leaving, jobs are scarce, regulation of everything from lawn mower and barbecue emissions to school textbooks is rampant, the actual size of state government is bloated and still growing, unions are the only special interests with power, despite the massive infusions of money to the black hole that is our schools we are graduating students that can't even read their diplomas or make change for a dollar bill (but their self esteem is high), our highways and rural roads are crumbling, and traffic to and from the only areas that still have jobs is horrendous. To add insult to injury, the democrat run government continues to sneak new taxes by calling them "fees" (as if that makes it less painful).

We are de facto a split state any way. It's just that 93 percent of the state is being oppressed by the other 7 percent. It is time to make the split real and create at least two actual states from the existing borders of California.
