I understand your point, but if the Dems take over, we may never have another chance. Remember, the Dems ruled the US House for some 40 years. I don't think CA can take that at this point.

If they did take over, you can just get ready for huge tax increases, and socialized medicine, which may well kill us -- seriously. I certainly don't want that. Arnold has been holding the line on taxes despite Dem pressures, and I expect he will continue to do so.

That's just it. The Dims already have taken over. They have run the state legislature pratically forever. Arnold is a Republican in the same way Lincoln Chafee is a Republican, which is to say barely. Arnold is surrounded mostly by Lib-Dims.

The only thing Arnold does is give the Dims cover because he's a nominal Republican. They escape blame for the state's problems, while Republicans get the blame they don't deserve.

Just like Rush has been saying about the national Dims, I want the state Dims to come out of hiding and show their true colors. I want full sunshine on them, with no pseudo-Republican to hide behind.

I don't mind California going the way of Argentina. In fact, I welcome the prospect. The only way things are going to change here is if they become so bad people won't put up with them any longer. We're not at the point yet where the need to change has persuaded people that it has to happen.
