This is a pleasant tactical victory for Republicans.

[John Jorsett]

I should also mention that John and Ken, the hosts on whose show Campbell appeared, are mounting a caravan of many SUVs. It will leave tonight and go to Sacramento, where the owners will mount a protest of AB1493. I applaud their dedication to getting this awful law either vetoed or rescinded.

[John Jorsett]

Campbell also said that one of the reasons there are so many whacky laws getting passed and signed into law by Davis is that the liberals in the legislature see that Davis is vulnerable, due to his own incompetence, plus there's a strong Green candidate on the scene stealing support. Davis will sign nearly any liberal measure at this point to shore up his liberal constituency and placate the Greens.

this is too good to be true,the governor will have to veto,and more voters will turn against him. and if he sign the bill,the re-election is over.
a reminder to all in california turn everything electrical "on"

[Dog Gone]

I'd like to know how they forced the Democrats to do anything.

[NormsRevenge]

Democrats want to keep the initiative off the November ballot because those pushing it are sure to mount a vigorous campaign, and Democrats think that it will damage Davis' chances at reelection,as well as their own electoral prospects.

This IS getting good!

DUMP DAVI$ & the Den of Socialists

GO SIMON

[Grampa Dave]

Great move by the GOP!

Lets get all of the mileage we can get out of this.

I know where I can get at least 10 signatures and probably 20. I had my hair cut today and dropped the bomb about the SUV taxes. 9 out of 10 of the gals working there, drive a SUV and none are the little bitty SUV's. Being working women, they were outraged. They would sign a petition, force their husbands/boy friends to sign the petitions and keep them going in the shop to get more signatures.

The one non SUV driver is your typical California hypocrite. She drives Mercedes and hates SUV and was making fun of us. Her poor husband is a partner in a successful contracting firm. I decided to verbally "bitch" slap her with her own words.

I asked her how many F250 pickup trucks her husband and partner had for their construction business. She said about 50.

Now the verbal bitch slap, I said, "You SUV hater, your husband's pickups will have the same penalty! You might have to sell your Mercedes to buy a bike or walking shoes if this law goes through. !"

She looked like a deer with the head lights on, as the construction business is getting tight due to our Davis recession. She went to the back to call her husband with her cell phone. She was screaming and crying as she listened to his reality giving her another verbal Bitch Slap!

because those pushing it are sure to mount a vigorous campaign, and Democrats think that it will damage Davis' chances at reelection, as well as their own electoral prospects.

Duh.

Isn't this why we either elect or UNELECT people? And please don't think my derisiveness is directed to the poster because John I think is exactly right about how the Dems' minds work.

They get it into their heads, especially in California, that they have some divine right to re-election. I'm betting half the Dems in California don't see those Simon stats so cockey are they.

So what's next? Oh right. They can pass any ole **shole law and have that divine right to re-election.

I'm all the way across the country from California but that state intrigues me. I live in a smaller version of a liberal hell and often as goes Merryland so goes California. Or visa-versa. I'm crossing fingers that even Merryland will get a clue because the Dems are running Kathleen Kennedy Townsend and it doesn't look good. At all.

Anyway keep entertaining me California. I think Grey Davis is a dolt and it's times like these that doltishness becomes more evident. And now this stupid law.

Hope that SUV caravan thing takes hold. I'd love to see this sight on the news.

[Tony in Hawaii]

I'm in Assembly District 40, my candidate is Connie Friedman, and she doesn't even have a website. She does have e-mail, and I feel like writing her and asking if she's serious about winning.

This article and its thread is long on bravado and short on facts.

Just how did a small minority in the legislature convince a large majority to back down from a sound plan...and don't say "public outcry when the truth is exposed".

The truth or a "public outcry" hasn't stopped the Democrats thus far.

[copycat]

This is hilarious. "We don't waht people to vote on what we want to do, because then they might see what we want to do."

Bwa-haha.

[Behind Liberal Lines]

Knowing the dims and the media, they will portray this now as a "republican backed" or "bi partisan" measure.
