Jerry Brown’s Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day [This Pleases Me.]

Yesterday didn’t go so well for Gov. Jerry Brown, who has spent the past week courting a handful of GOP legislators in an attempt to get them on board with his budget - which calls on the General Assembly to refer an extension of the 2009 Schwarzenegger tax hikes to the ballot. Five of the GOP senators whose votes Gov. Brown has been seeking to buy sent a letter to Brown yesterday informing him that negotiations had reached an impasse, reflecting the fact that Brown really doesn’t have anything to offer GOP legislators in exchange for their votes.

In their letter to Brown, the five Republican senators express their disappointment that all of their proposed reforms were rebuffed:

“We were therefore disappointed to find that our reforms were either rejected or so watered down as to have no real effect on future spending or the economy. We have therefore concluded that you are unable to compel other stakeholders to accept real reform.”

Proposals offered by the GOP included a spending cap, regulatory reform, and pension reform. Not surprisingly, Brown admitted yesterday that he may now miss his self-imposed budget deadline this Thursday...

The once and future governor of California rants again.

Take this article and others I found to the fight to the Libs on their own turf; put the Left on the defensive at at Digg and at Reddit and in Delicious and Stumbleupon

Brown apparently thought he would levitate through his term, feet barely touching the ground, in a swirl of luminescent pixie dust.

Let's all recall what this idiot said after his last stint in this office and see how successful he will be now.

During an interview on the program “CNN Late Edition” in 1992 Jerry Brown (D-CA) admitted that nearly everything he said in his first campaign for governor of California was a lie.

Well now didn’t the Ahhhhrnald-nator get a good ripping too in Sacto? Now the Demos own it lock, stock and pork barrel. GOP is smart not to share in the disaster perpetrated by undisciplined Dems. Just say no to MoomBeam and that’s their duty!

Brown cannot find two RINO’s willing to go his way. I wonder what bribes (commission appointments for spouses) they turned down. This makes me proud to be a California Republican. California RINO’s are apparently extinct.

Moonbeam Brown is OWNED by the Unions..
The Mexifornian REPUBLICANs need lobby for RICO against the Unions..

Thanks for posting that link; it should come in handy.

Basically, as long as even a single Republican walks the soil of California, anywhere in that once-great state, that Republican will be said to be the cause of every problem in the state.

When the last Republican leaves, the Democrats in Sacramento will start looking at the Republicans that are buried in California’s cemetaries.

True, true. The California Liberals are victims of their own success!
