It still sounds like it and that is a democratic party rallying cry. I think a better approach would be that California when faced with the fact that its energy market was not working (i.e. when the republicans in the state legislature called for an extra summer session to deal with the problem and when FERC imposed penalties---that they later forgave--on Cal to stop underscheduling day ahead power) those leading California (i.e. Gov Davis and the legislature) took no action that when they were repeatedly urged to take action. A doctor can not be held responsible for the health of a patient that will not take his or her medicine. California Democratic party controlled , beside repeated explainations and attempts by others to get them to make changes in the State's energy policy, acted like a deer in the headlights of a car and would not move to save itself.
No matter what, the politicians will never be as smart as the businessmen. Never. They shouldn't even try to outsmart the businessmen. The businessmen are 100% focused on their businesses. The politicians are 100% focused on getting reelected. This puts the pols at a severe disadvantage in almost every scenario. And long after the pols are gone, the businessmen will still be there plugging away.
Hope this helps some.
The $285 rate was also confirmed by one of the documents released by the governor's office to substantiate their "price gouging" claims. I found it strange that, for all the grief Enron had taken from Davis and Lockyer, they ranked only 9th among the Top 10 "gougers".
This is old news. It was posted yesterday. You awful conservatives need to realize that Herr Davis needs millions to push the Gay Agenda, to kill thousands of innocent babies in their mothers wombs, to insure high paying jobs for his voting cults like the teachers and prison guards, and to have money to pay the descendents of slaves for their votes. Also free medical care, housing, food, legal services to sue your white a$$es and a bi lingual person every two feet in Kali for the illegal alien voters is not cheap.
Your posting of this old news never tried a white honky for a hate crime nor does it feed a starving gay child, age 21 and over.
Herr Davis has to stop that super rich white religious honky Simon to make Kali safe for Davis's diverse maggots who vote several times each election for him. So back off!
Wasp and I live in Kali and suffer the daily insults this little Benito wannabee does to us each and every day.
Oh, I dunno. Having the personality of a five-day old dead fish got graydavis pretty far.
For a second, I thought you were saying gravitatus.
