YOU KNOW GOVENOR DAVIS HAS BEEN A FINANCIAL DISASTER FOR CALIFORNIA ....

E-mail | May 03. 2003 | Senator Montjoy

[dixie sass]

I thought that you guys and gals would like to see this letter that Senator Montjoy is sending.

[Roscoe]

Senator Mountjoy hasn't ever been shy about saying what's on his mind.

BTTT

[dixie sass]

Just passing it on.

[dixie sass]

I noticed. He is quite, ummmmmmmm, well open?

[Jim Robinson]

There's only one word for this guy and his party: EVIL!

[Roscoe]

They can see that they're destroying the state and creating a disaster for themselves in the process, but they can't help it. It's their nature.

[buffyt]

Senator Dick Mountjoy .....
Surely this is not his REAL name? Sounds like a porn star.

[dixie sass]

After reading Montjoy's allegations - I agree. But Jim, why did y'all re-elect him?

[buffyt]

I was living in LA all last year. We FREEPED Gray Davis.... Tony in Hawaii, RonDog, Jessamine, Outraged, AnnaZ, Mercuria, etc. We tried to get the word out. In fact, most Liberal Democrats did not vote for Davis. My liberal commie roommate from college told me she would love to go to a Protest against Davis. I think he won mainly because of fraud in the SF area the night of the election. I think ballots were discarded, and other ones were manufactured. If you look at the Calif. red blue map MOST counties voted Republican in that election.

[dufekin]

Hey, I heard that Davis is trying to trash California's economy so that he never faces an energy crisis again. I might also note that it will cause conservatives to flee to Oregon, Washington, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, and Colorado, forming or strengthening Republican majorities in those states.

[buffyt]

Simon won more counties, cities, precincts, acres, than Davis. Davis won only a few Densely populated areas, just like Gore did in US, just like Hillary did in NY....

[buffyt]

Similar to election results across the USA in last presidential election....

CONSEQUENCES FOR ENABLERS
And I Buried The Lead...

California is facing a series of reality checks that could/would lead to catastrophic results.

Many in other parts of the country say, “So what?  The land of fruits and nuts deserves whatever they get.”  However, despite the regional immediacy, the success or failure of California WILL impact significantly on the rest of the country.

Faced with a $36-Billion budget deficit of it’s own making liberal California Democrats have positioned the state for a personification of “payback is a bitch”.  Unfortunately it will be Californians who will be paying and paying and paying….

If the two-year shortfall reaches Davis' new predictions, it will eclipse the largest ever experienced in California.  Davis started his first two years in office with multibillion-dollar surpluses…a distant memory that will remain an unrequited erotic dream.

Despite democratic denial, the imperative that has sparked a proposed $20.7 billion in budget cuts (including $4.5 billion to education) and an inevitable avalanche of new taxes shallowly disguised, as “fees and assessments” is a product of their own making.

Davis has pitched a 1-cent sales tax increase.  Hey, come on, it’s only a penny?  That penny would raise about $4.5 billion and would cost the typical family about $200 to $250 a year. But that isn’t nearly enough.  The governor also called for increasing income taxes for the state's top earners and a $1.10 per pack cigarette tax hike.

Tax and spend democrats (who control the governors office and the legislature) have been enabled by liberal left over flower children in Armani in the high population centers of the state.

All one needs to do is revisit the Election 2002 map of Red and Blue [http://www.geoffmetcalf.com/votemap_20001116.html].  Gore won California because of San Diego, Los Angeles, and San Francisco Bay area.

Those metroplexes have the highest population density in the state and they invariably lean way left.  The bulk of California’s land mass showed red on that election results map.

The reality is more gross numbers of Californians ARE liberal.  However those gross numbers come from high population density quagmires of goo-goo leftist liberalism.

So in once sense California deserves the government they have elected.  The only caveat might be that invariably the democrats who DO get elected in California are far more liberal (and rabid) than the constituencies that elect them.

I have too often noted that there are consequences to the things we do and don’t do.  California is about to realize a host of negative consequences to their penchant for enabling extreme liberal democrats.

Liberal democrats have literally been ‘enabled’ by four myopic special interest groups with lots of money.

1.    The Hollywood crowd with more money and media access than good sense.

2.    The middle-aged former flower children and Woodstock pilgrims who are now ruling fiefdoms in Sacramento.

3.    The unbridled immigration advocates who have successfully skewed the states demographics on the road to Azatlan.

4.    The homosexual activists who defy reason with noise and money.

As Davis (and his successors) attempt to staunch the hemorrhage of their own making it is both sadly just that the liberal enablers will reap what they have sown, and tragic that tens of millions of California’s will suffer the consequences of abuse of power.

Here’s the deal.  California needs to use a meat clever not a scalpel on the budget.  They won’t. 

*    The inevitable result will be a growing need for more and more money from taxpayers. 

*    Middle class Californians and small businesses that had resisted the obvious imperative WILL begin a migration to more friendly and reasonable states (Nevada, Oregon, New Mexico, Arizona, Texas, even Washington).

*    California will suffer a reduction in the tax base when they most need it.

*    California will become a marginalized state with two classes of citizens….the very rich, and the very poor.

*    California will continue to require massive amounts of money and guess what?  They won’t be able to extract it from the very poor so the Mandarin class will be expected to pick up the slack.

*    NOTE: This Mandarin class is the very same enablers who allowed California to tax and spend the state into fiscal insolvency.

*    HOWEVER, the very rich (in L.A., the Bay Area and San Diego) won’t subsidize the product of their own actions.  Rather, they too will move their prime residence (tax address) to Lake Tahoe, Oregon or Mexico.  They will continue to ‘live, work and play’ in California…they just won’t support the tax base.

Despite his abysmal job performance Governor Davis has the stones to include in his suggestions for the Legislature to restore the governor's power to make budget changes midyear without lawmakers' approval.

The budget process is just that…it is not an event….it IS a process.  The January proposed budget will be followed by a “May Revised Budget”.  Unless or until the legislature overcomes partisan dogma and makes the hard decisions you can anticipate things will get a lot worse in California and the consequences of Sacramento’s malfeasance will ripple across the country.

........he grossly mishandled the Electric Power Crisis..........

Just a FYI...........My understanding is that the Governor's man who designed CA's energy policies and is in charge of CA's energy commission is a former Nader accolyte.

[RightOnline]

"Gov. Davis also signed Assembly bill 2194 mandating that ALL obstetricians and gynecologists be trained to perform abortions -- with NO objections allowed for moral or religious grounds! So much for our inalienable rights of conscience!"

Is this really true???

[dalereed]

"Surely this is not his REAL name?"

It sure is, he's a very good friend of mine.

He's a rock solid conservative and patriot and his son has now taken over the Assembly seat that he used to occupy.

[bonesmccoy]

I just checked out this report on AB 2194.

Here's the info from state of Calif.'s web server. NOTE: SEE LAST SENTENCE OF SECTION ONE.

The story is correct.

program requirements for residency education in obstetrics and
gynecology of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical
Education, which requires that in addition to education and training
in in-patient care, the program in obstetrics-gynecology be geared
toward the development of competence in the provision of ambulatory
primary health care for women, including, but not limited to,
training in the performance of abortion services.

Un-f**king-believable.

"After reading Montjoy's allegations - I agree. But Jim, why did y'all re-elect him?"


Thank you for asking this relevent question. The other side of the story requires the accountability of the deceived; California doomed their own future in this past election and still doesn't know it.

" 15. As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; so is a wicked ruler over the poor people.
16. The prince that wanteth understanding is also a great oppressor: but he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days."Pr.28:15,16

[Carry_Okie]

Metcalf's list missed the biggest urban constituency of them all in California, the environmental vote, Californians will vote for bond issues for the environment even though they know they'll pay for it in higher taxes. Those bills never lose, even if they don't tell you how the money is to be spent!
