Lying to you is what Dem Party politicians DO. Why does this keep shocking you Californians?

Vote blue, expect BOHICA.

Aye, but that's just it. It always seems to take the citizens of that state by surprise . . . as if reaching out to pet a scorpion and then being shocked when the critter strikes and stings.

Like the old story about the scorpion asking the frog for a ride across the river. The frog says no because the scorpion will sting him. The scorpion promises not to, so the frog agrees. Halfway across the river, the scorpion stings the frog and when the frog complains as he is dying, the scorpion says, "You knew what I was before you agreed to give me a ride. "

Yep!
