The above quote is from another FR article currently posted. I notice that if I replace the word France with California, and "a platform favoring incremental change" with "socialism slow is A-OK with us urban RINO's" the article describes California pretty well.
They NEED somebody to invade them and take them over... even the stupid Murderous Muslers would be an improvement over their Old Europe Socialism!!!
That's it!!! That's the plan!!! They'll let the invading muslims take over, then they think they can agitate another "French Revolution" against the muslims and emerge DEBT FREE to get into second gear on their Old European Socialism. Shouldn't take more than a month, or two... Ha Ha Ha!!!
Truth, hence the reaction.
Prop 76 would have put spending reduction formulas in place that would have made it easier for the Governor during budget negotiations. The Governor can still slash spending however. All he needs to do is propose a massively remade spending plan for California and stick with it. No budget passes without his signature. He just needs to dig in his heels. He could also turn up the heat by telling the Dems that no bills pass until the budget passes. Period. He just doesn't have the cajones to do that. Apparently they've been shrunk by all those steroids he took over the years.
"Both the left and the right voted NO on Prop 76 ..."
That's what puzzles me also - the Conservatives joined hands with the Liberals. Together they worked against the Prop supported by McClintock.
So just who was this Über-mastermind who forged this unlikely alliance ?
Pete Wilson, as he has done in the past. Mister stick your finger in the wind policy guru. Mister don't turn your back on me or I'll slide in a facsimile.
That would be consistent with the platform on which he campaigned. Instead, he has proposed higher and higher spending, combined with unprecedented borrowing, and failed to use the "tools" that are available to him. The contention that the Prop 76 failure results in or justifies tax increases is ludicrous and unsupportable!
"Pete Wilson, as he has done in the past. Mister stick your finger in the wind policy guru. "
LOL - So Wilson created the Liberal/Conservative alliance to defeat Prop 76 by supporting it as a "real and much needed reform "
Yes. Additional posts responding to the article goes on to state: The USA debt in 2004 was 65% of GDP. (see post 27, and also check out the graph in post 24) Same as us, same bad leadership.
Maybe a bull moose party isn't needed. Maybe what is needed is for the grass roots to depose the party leadership. Obviously, they are out of touch and should be removed from their positions of power.
It seems like intentional destruction to me. I agree about removal.
BTTT
So, he's rewarding the unions with a increase of taxes for the rest of us????
They are responsible for destroying the special election...
