Ever seen any two dumber factions than this. Does AS have any idea of politics? These commies just keep taking him for a roll & he has NO idea of what is happening. There are no words to describe this Kalifornia political disaster.

I liked the part about Barbara Kerr being at "a loss for words."
I don't believe it. LOL.

A Trojan Horse does not have a brain, that is why he has worked out so well for the left to date.

They are patient and will keep him around because in the end, they are getting what they want and his handlers, the
New Majorityites and Vichy Republicans along with the demRats know a good thing when they see it.

I can think of only one: "Predictable"

"Predictable"

And not even surprising!!!

Yet we are tormented with the deluded who "feel" we should somehow support the continuation of "this Kalifornia political disaster, just because Tom McClintock now insists it should be our only choice! Balderdash!!!

Why should we buy that old Jerry Brown 1957 Plymouth idea? Here we are coming out of two consecutive disasters of Governorships, an economic collapse and a contorted collapse of our whole energy distribution system...

And NOW! All of a sudden... Since the Governor had a political set-back... We have to hock the crown jewels to rebuild everything when we can't because all the hockings will be squandered on EnvironMental Impact Reports, EnvironMental studies ad nauseum and EnvironMental Litigation till the happy cows come home from making California Cheese!!!

Good Lord have mercy!!!

But it's not unacceptable for Normal People and Normal Companies to cut back in the face of increased theft by government parasites and union thugs, right?

Not true. I found words in December 2000. The words were "see ya later". The coldest winter day in Idaho is superior to a warm, sunny California day under the shadow of raving commies in Sacramento.

We hocked those a long time ago. We have since moved on to the family jewels. Few if any of those seem to exist anymore.

It's the old rock and the hard place. Since they changed the rules and endorsed Arnold early, there is no viable alternative candidate sitting in the wings. Even if they pulled the endorsement and there was a primary, campaign finance rules now limit individual contributions such that the GOP holds the real purse strings. Parksy screwed McClintock before and would probably screw any other conservative that stepped up to the plate.

There simply is no good short term solution, IMO.

I'd say getting rid of Parsky and Sundheim would be a good start.

Sure there is - screw the GOP.

Just Say No when they come begging for money and votes. Otherwise, you're the battered spouse that won't leave. You keep on caving to their crap, they'll take it as a sign that "crap is good enough".

Unpleasant though it may be, we are going to have to face what has now become nearly irrefutable.

We have somehow managed to elect to office an even bigger disaster than Gray Davis.

We can't possibly get rid of this jackass fast enough.
