Another Liberal gets mugged by his own party, bails out

[Aesop]

SNL alum Rob Schneider joins Dennis Miller and Jon Lovitz as former Democrats, after finally noticing that everything his father's generation told him about liberal do-gooders would screw the pooch:

The state of California is a mess, and the supermajority of Democrats is not working. I’ve been a lifelong Democrat and I have to switch over because it no longer serves the people of this great state. We need to have a new voice. We need to have a new direction, and we need to break the supermajority. It isn’t helping with jobs.”

“The last time I made a movie in California was seven years ago, And that’s because we’re not being competitive. I own a vitamin company with my friend and we moved out of state because of overregulation. It isn’t helping businesses. We're chasing businesses away ... we're scaring away people by the thousands.

(Follow the imbedded link to his on-camera interview, he's got a lot of bones to pick with his former liberal idiots)

Welcome to Reality, Rob, glad you finally pulled your head out.

I, and the rest of the country, wish those thousands would stop trying to recreate CA wherever they land.

Headline should read "After realizing he has no more career to endanger, actor Rob Schneider comes out as conservative, criticizes liberals, Democrats".

From what I hear, owning up to conservative/Republican/libertarian values in Hollywood is one of the ways to get yourself blacklisted. Ironic, coming from the bunch which decry blacklists in the first place. Those who've come out the most vocally as conservative soon have their careers destroyed (cough,cough, Kelsey Grammar, cough cough, dam summer colds). Those more famous actors with some known affiliation -Bruce Willis, Sarah Michelle Gellar- have had to distance themselves a bit to avoid being blackballed. IIRC, Bruce Willis had to say even though he counted himself Republican, he wasn't entirely in favor of Bush.

If he is, I hope he corrects me if anything I said was incorrect. From what I understand, things are different on the other side of the velvet rope than what the fans see.

Over regulation and over taxed say it isn't so, had a local liberal political hack tell me its easier to run a business if you have rules to guide you , the possibility of prison is what stopped me.

Put 2 million in my pocket and I will be the most pro obama motherfucker on the block.

This, a thousand times over.

Those of us left in Commiefornia would too - 'cause it REALLY limits our ability to move somewhere NOT polluted by Commiefornia's socilaist politics.

I would feel your pain if only the overwhelming bulk of those $#!^heads hadn't come here from back where they came from, and like geese, tend to return to crap on their home territory. Most of this state has spent 70 years, in vain, bitching about those bastards recreating NFY, MA, NJ, DE, MD, DC, PA, and IL. Cry me a river.

Ask for a birth certificate before you go blaming "Californians" for the shenanigans of transplants from Blue State havens in 47 other states who become allergic to snow before plopping here long enough to befoul the place. (Oregon, call your home office.) I tend to figure anyone getting them is getting what they deserve, and wish them best of luck with the return of their toothless banjo-playing kinfolks.
