Remember, he's not interested in the rest of us.

I live in southern California and know lots of conservatives, and believe me, they hate California. (Kind of like the way they live in the US but hate half of Americans.) I want to tell them to get the hell out then, but I'm usually too polite. They're always grumbling and groaning about the high taxes here and the way California has such an "anti-business climate" with all the regulations and such. Oh and don't even start them on illegal immigration. Still, I don't see them going anywhere. They seem happy enough to stay.

Personally, I love California.

Screw you, Mitt. I thought I smelled something like sulfur in the air the other day.
