It’s not Pete’s fault. The one great thing he did (maybe for cynical reasons but it was great nonetheless) was Prop 187. The courts shot it down, and the state was soon flooded with illegals, and then Clinton’s Motor Voter turned a precarious balance into a Democrat wipeout. Pete is a moderate wimp, no doubt, but he didn’t kill the party in California. Demographics did, and on that, he fought.

He wouldnt have been governor if he hadnt backed 187.

And since Lungren was too craven to back it, he lost.

And when Gray Davis illegally canned it, we recalled him.

They havent learned. And its probably too late.

Next up, Los Angeles as Mexican thug show.

The courts shot it down,

Sorry, I am more cynical than you about that. Wilson allowed a low level federal district judge, Mariana Pfaelzer, to sit on the case for nearly four years instead of appealing it directly to get it out of her court. That basically ran out his term. Then his RAT successor Gray Davis killed it by refusing to fight it in court just like Schwarzenegger and then Attorney General Moonbeam refused to defend Prop 8 and killed it too.

My take is that Wilson was embarrassed by the initiative but had to support it to get re-elected in 1994. Once elected he wanted nothing to do with it.

This is similar to Jan Brewer of Arizona who supported SB1070 only because she knew she could not get the Republican nomination after replacing Butch Napolitano as Governor midterm. Once elected she turned out to be turncoat RINO who forced through the Obamacare medicaid expansion that will cost the AZ taxpayers billions with the votes of the RATS and a few turncoat Republicans.
