FYI I voted for Arnold absentee and DESPITE Davis due to what he did to our economy, his absolutely corrupt way of bilking interest groups of campaign contributions then giving them their favorite legislation, his scum political style that we now see in the closing days of the campaign. That being said: it is an...ahem...stretch (I had a big laugh) to see that anyone is blaming the energy crisis in California on the Clintons. Is there not ANY issue where we might look elsewhere -- like at the logical candidates, and that is Davis' absolute incompetence, dumb California laws, Enron and...it is increasingly clear...unsympathetic folks in the White House who seemed to feel California should float off into the ocean and favored their friends side of the story? Davis AND Enron AND the White House did California in on the energy crisis. Sorry, on THIS ONE Bill and Hillary were not to blame. I am just waiting for the posting here that blames all of Rush's troubles these days on Bill and Hillary. There's a point where it completely udnermines the credibility of conservatives if they can't get off the Bill and Hillary Bill and Hillary mantra no matter what. In the case of CA...sorry...our energy crisis was not due to the Clintons. Look to the folks in Sacramento and Washington who lost sight of the impact California's woes might have on the NATIONAL economy and were too busy posturing or gladhanding their friends (Ds and Rs). I detest Davis and hope that the day he dies they bury him face down so he can see where he's going...but on this one the Clintons were not the insidious hand. Short sighted politicians in leadership positions elsewhere were.
I agree with you in part about blaming the woes of everything on Bill and Hillary, but the fact remains that the ENRON debacle did come about because of, and largely due to, the involvement of the Clinton energy policies. The call by Davis to get Bill and Hillary's help in his anti-recall campaign goes back to the Dems absolute fear of losing ANY power at all, much less a guberanatorial position to any GOP candidate.
One is reminded of Hillary's backroom scandals and temper in Davis' temper tantrams. But, Davis did have many willing cohorts in the CA state-house that are equally to blame for CA's failed economy. And one must remember that Davis cooked his own goose on selling his orfice and office for campaign contributions. When this is all over, I would not be surprised if Davis is as famous as Boss Tweed and the Tammany Hall scandals. But then, that too was a Dem gone bad with power, as is both Bill and Hillary.
If the Dems could ever get away from entitlements as the only thing that they can offer people to vote for them, or could ever allow a reduction of ANY federal program, I could see a use in listening to their prose exhaustive. But, that would only exist in a perfect world. And do not get me started on the GOP and how they role over at the first sign of a Dem false-claim against them.
Oh for a true politician to deliver a message from their heart.
