Think I will ping some!
Bringing down the great State of California is a part of the War against America and the Governor Gray Davis will be richly rewarded by the national leftist powers if he suceeds!
I think that you are crediting both the "left" and Gov Davis way too much intellectual capacity.
I think that Democratic politicians and Gov Davis in particular, live for the moment and have little to no concept about the future consequences of current actions. If there is a central thread that would explain the California borrowing from the future budget just signed by Davis, Kennedy womanizing, former Washington State Congressman Adams date-rape drugging of women, California Congressman Condit, Bill Clinton, etc., it is that they are doing things they want to and not looking at what might happen in the future.
I think that the problems caused by the Democrats are more about instant gratification and let tommorrow take care of itself, than a plot to overthrow the US government and our freedoms. They may have the same result, but it is an unintended result.
