No Republican has gotten more than 12% of the vote in this district since 1994, when Pelosi’s opponent got 18%. This seat hasn’t gone Republican since 1948, and there was a far different, and far better, class of people living there then.
I think in San Francisco terms, when they talk about “right vs. left,” they must mean Stalinists vs. Trotskiytes or maybe Stalinists vs. Maoists. True, it might be Stalin, Trotsky and Mao dressed up in the latest gay lesbian transgenderbenderism, but it is still pretty much an argument over which brand of 20th Century communism is the best. They are in denial that communism is a political and economic dead end just as they are in denial that homosexuality is a biological dead end. These are fanatics who are dying out. As they die out, their rage only increases. They want bring in illegal immigrants in the hope that there will be enough criminals, welfare dependents and drug addicts among them to keep the old system running a bit longer. I guess we can be thankful that the people they want to import at least are not likely to run around in S&M outfits or march naked in gay pride parades.
