I didn't cash in my conservative credentials just because I refused to allow Butamante to get elected.

We would have had less socialism with Bustamante because the Republicans would have found their balls and faught it.

Now go pester someone else for a while.

No problem.

Look, we have agreed on many issues.  We still do.  Posting this nonsense isn't gaining you point one.

If every Republican in the California legislature 'grew a set' as you mentioned, they'd still be the minority party and unable to do much if the governor were a democrat.  In effect we would have claimed victory for turning over the state legislature and the executive mansion to the dems.  Yikes.

We would not have recieved the refunded car fees.  Those fees would still be in the process of being charged.  Illegal aliens would today have California Driver's licenses.  Bustamante would have proposed a $9 billion dollar tax increase, which more than likely would have scooted on by in one form or another.  Bustamante' appointments would have made Schwarzenegger's appointments look ultra-conservative.

Perhaps the Republicans would have blocked an outright tax increase, I'm still betting the dems would have gotten some back door hikes that would have ammounted to the same thing.
