With no surprise (one wonders why they invented six months of "reporting" to deliver a conclusion arrived at a year ago), the L.A. Times this week endorsed Commissar Davis for governor.

As the Pravda in a one-paper city, the Times said:

"The choice is clear: Davis is the only candidate with the experience and knowledge of government needed to serve as the state's chief executive. The Times endorses Davis for reelection to a second term Nov. 5."

The choice is clear? Really? Never a doubt, huh? What were the criteria – undermining English-only in failing schools?

Experience? You mean like turning a $10 billion surplus into a $25 billion deficit in three years?

Knowledge of government? That must mean the ability to shake down government officials. By extension, every California taxpayer contributes more than they realize to the Davis re-election campaign, like it or not. Prison guards, coastal commission, Board of Regents, teachers unions, pension officials (among many others) all get paid by us, and all pay Davis millions to "cover their bets."

What would be enlightening is for the Times to disclose when they last endorsed ANY Republican candidate.

So, What Does the Times Revere in a Candidate?

The following is a list of facts on Gray Davis the Times is apparently OK with:

* Former governor Jerry Brown's liberal appointees drive Davis policies (Davis was Brown's chief of staff). Mary Nichols, one of then-Governor Brown's leading environmental advisers, is now the Davis administration's Resources Secretary. Ms. Nichols has called for "$5 a gallon gasoline." This goes well with anti-SUV Rob Reiner and the Sierra Club gang.

* Davis declared last year that a six-mile section of the 210 freeway would be "the last freeway built in California." How that works with exploding population growth is anyone's guess.

* On Sept. 11 this year, the governor signed into law AB 2065. One provision of 2065 attaches a 3 1/3 percent levy on real estate transactions for sales of second homes (not primary residences) such as vacation homes, in the form of a withholding of that percentage in escrow. The money must be paid to the State Franchise Tax Board, and operates as a tax by "front loading" the fee to Sacramento, then forcing the parties to attempt to negotiate recovery.

This heist didn't constitute news anywhere in the state – or the country, for that matter.

* According to former Davis staffer Mosemarie Boyd, Davis is more interested in re-election than governance. "The top person in the Davis administration works in the governor's campaign office where he's been since the 1998 campaign. Garry South is running the state government."

* AB 537, the "California Student Safety and Violence Prevention Act," was signed by the governor in 2000. It changed the education code by adding ACTUAL or PERCEIVED sexual orientation and gender identity to the nondiscrimination policy.

The state now defines gender as "a person's actual sex or perceived sex and includes a person's perceived identity, appearance or behavior, whether or not that identity, appearance, or behavior is different from that traditionally associated with a person's sex at birth."

You've got to be kidding.

Davis Supporters Smiling Through Clenched Teeth

Davis negatives, even within his own party, are astronomical. But this doesn't stop the Times, as it doesn't stop most on the fascist left, from inventing a reality and begging a result.

The governor, adopting now the role of Good Commissar, says in his latest TV ads: "You may not agree with everything I do, but I'm working hard for California."

While a state deemed by corporate executives to be the "least favorable" in which to operate a business continues to shed thousands of jobs on an almost weekly basis, nothing at all is said by the maximum leader. Not a word about tax policies that could help keep businesses from heading to Nevada and Arizona.

In fact, most businesses have concluded that should Davis be re-elected, taxes will go through the roof to help the state deal with its debt. And that means shedding even more workers, closing less profitable operations, or throwing in the towel altogether.

All California employers and employees' jobs are in jeopardy. What Davis ignores on the economy should be headline news. This is no recession. It's a depression. Job losses since 2000 are unprecedented. The fact that Davis gets a free pass should get everyone's attention.

And what do we get from the man endorsed by the Times? "Abortion, gun control, environment." Then the next day the mantra switches to "Gun control, gay rights, diversity, abortion," just to keep everyone guessing.

The media, the blowhards, the bought-and-paid-for unions, the armies of "activists" and, yes, the at-the-ready teams of "street money" hustlers and their vote-buying organization, all … all will be out in force to make sure the Commissar gets back in office to work his magic.

Any voters who think this election isn't a civil war need to get their heads examined, or sit down with their therapists and talk about denial. The left plays for keeps. They have already started the vote fraud machine in Minnesota, publicly recruiting out-of-state students to come to register on the same day to vote for Comrade Wellstone.

They have already been caught in massive vote fraud on South Dakota Indian reservations.

But barring the efforts of their favorite son's ballot stuffers, come Nov. 6 the Times headline will either contain blistering demands for a Florida-like recount, complete with old ladies falling over the hoods of expensive cars, or a more contrite "What went wrong?" in describing Simon's shocking victory.

The Timelessness of Manufactured Consent

Now that all the apparatchiks have been given their marching orders to go vote for Joe, it appears more and more that the Central Committee in Sacramento ideologically resembles 1917 Petrograd.

Historians know that when the 1917 Revolution was successfully completed, the Bolsheviks controlled Petrograd.

It was Marx who articulated that with the establishment of socialism and the abolition of social classes, the state would cease to exist. One party, one voice, no dissent.

And as the acting Molotov of the new Davis proletariat, Garry South, might say: "Be well, Comrades, and remember: I know exactly where you live."

Fresno Bee endorsed Commissar Davis Sunday but the last line says something like "this is not an endorsement". They said absolutely TERRIBLE things about Bill Simon. It was sickening beyond belief. Liars! DUMP DAVIS! GO, SIMON! For victory & freedom!!!

[NormsRevenge]

It's simmering right now.. We are waiting for the Judge here to do the deed and release it. Not sure when but could come at any time.

[daviddennis]

It has to do with the Coastal Commission, which is interesting in light of this

Davis doesn't seem to have changed his game much.
