Liberals and Democrats were shouting form the mountain tops "Look at California! We control everything in the state. You just watch how wonderful things are going to be. We will show you how great things can be when you elect democrats to run the show."

Haven't heard them say that in a long time.

Did you catch SAVAGE last night?

He mentioned something about Gray Davis has appointed 260 judges out in CA, I don't know what the time span was but the way Savage was talking I'm betting they were approved recently.

I'm puzzled by California. Why haven't more businesses and residents left the state? Why do so many continue to vote for leftists?

And why would anyone with 3 brain cells care whether Arnold groped some women years ago? That is to say, we already know he's a liberal, pro-abortion, pro-spending, pro-tax, big-government ... in many ways indistinguishable from Davis or Bustamente. If people are going to vote for him, it will be because he's labelled Republican, and he's rich and well-known, not because of any personal qualities or policy suggestions that would make him a functional governor. So what's the big deal about his treating women like meat?

As the editorial board observes, the near-catastrophic situation in California is a wake-up call for all Americans. If Americans do not wake up--and restrain and repudiate and throw out of power "Liberal"/Democrat/leftist politicians and their supporters--the near-catastrophy will become a full blown catastrophe--for the entire United States.

"...the modern liberal coalition...lawyers, unions (especially of public employees) and environmentalists."

Most destructive of these are lawyers.

Most insidious however are environmentalists. These people are not merely harmless do-gooders whose agenda has some merits and at least won't do any harm. Far from it! These are powerful and power-hungry bullies who may well prove ultimately to be more destructive the the U.S. and the rest of the world than the lawyers and unions combined.

Progressives also steal private property - land and small businesses especially - and place it under state control. Mussolini and Hitler called it fascism. No matter how many times these Marxists change their name, they still goosestep over people the same way.

"What Californians have witnessed is what the modern liberal coalition looks like in power: a gerrymandered majority dominated by the 'progressive' special-interest trinity of trial lawyers, unions (especially of public employees) and environmentalists."

Is that the perfect sentence, or what.

"Their priorities are the transfer of wealth from working people to an ever-expanding public sector; more mandates and rules on business that enhance union power but reduce the ability to invest at a profit and create new jobs; and of course legal standards and workers' compensation loopholes that create more openings for trial-lawyer assaults."

If nothing else?

...that nails America's version of "socialism," eh?

Your right. Their silence is absolute. This is something that the GOP needs to capitlize on. Start running adds about the 16 years of GOP control. How things were when they started their control and how things ended.

THEN

Show the Gray "out" Davis record.

{End the commercial}

Then, when it gets to election time, end the commercial by asking voters "Which will you choose?". Then show the GOP candidate and some positive statement about them improving the economy.

Hang the loadstone of Davis performance on the Dems neck!

"Writing in the June 2001 American Prospect, Harold Meyerson was only mildly more florid than the average pundit in explaining "California's new-found identity as a laboratory of both Democracy and democracy."

This is my problem with Republican elected officials, this point, this brag of the idiot party, should be pounded home again, and again, and again, and again, until they puke, and the dull socialist voting public goes, huh?

"Haven't heard them say that in a long time."

I have purchased a brand new Bottle of Absolut Vodka and a nice picture post card of California for the grand celebration of Davis's demise.

I plan on toasting all you wonderful freepers until I've achieved a mild inability to stand up once the election is confirmed!

How could they talk about the Democratic Party in California without talking about the gay lobby?
