Puke Politix

At the beginning of the Recall, CA AG Lockyer (a not quite so dum dem) told Davis that the public was sick of "puke politics" and if he were to use these kind of tactics, Lockyer and other prominent dems would jump ship.

Davis, with his back against the wall in practically every poll (except, surprise, sfgate's) is now pressing the puke button. Twice.

Yesterday it was a rehash of the sexual harrassment charge, with two of the incidents happening in the 1970s (!) and only two of the six people coming out publicly. One of them told her story to Premiere magazine years ago. The others were "anonymous" so they could say anything they want. The LA Times hunted down these people so they could try a smear job.

Beside the fact that the incidents the LA Times harps about may not be "sexual harrassment" in the legal sense, there are some dems that have greater concerns about the state of the press as demonstrated by the LA Times' behaviour. Read Susan Estrich (not a Conservative by ANY means) here (registration required).

Today it is claims by a Davis crony that Arnold admires Nazism. Despite Davis' campaign's claims of innocence, the person making the Nazi charges is a longtime dum dem and a Davis appointee. They all probably thought that her race would shield her from scrutiny and criticism, since you don't criticize outspoken black leaders, lest ye be a bigot. Like that other Davis crony who said that "Arnold can't speak english properly, how can he be governor?" and who happened to be Korean...

Not happening. She's being taken to task. It's interesting that Arnold is getting all kinds of flak for acts his father had to take in Nazi-occupied Austria to SURVIVE. In order to do ANYTHING there, you had to be a member of the party. Kinda like San Francisco, where one has to be a dum dem to do any city or political work.

Arnold is getting branded a Nazi today. Yesterday, it was being a sexist. If this is the Garry South "Ocktober" surprise, then I'm cautiously optimistic. All of these charges were levied previously. And they didn't stick.

Meanwhile, let's read about the REAL bigot in the race. And why the liberal media has given him a free pass.

Nice News to Hear with a Caveat attached

Davis Staffers dusting off Resumes.

Davis appointees are worried about their cushy jobs, eh? The same appointees who got their raises while the rest of the state was going down the crapper, eh?

Aww, they have to phone bank and walk precincts to save their cushy jobs? Too bad. That kind of work is implied since they received an appointment and they're out the door if their master is not re-elected. Awww, they didn't expect to have to move for three more years? It's a Republican Right Wing Conspiracy, yeah that's why Davis is such a sucky governor. If it weren't for them pointing it out, it wouldn't be so. Yeah, that's it.

And we're supposed to feel sorry for these people?

One thing that does concern me. Suppose the recall passes and Ahnold wins by such a huge margin that the democraps' legal maneuvering doesn't matter. Then Shelley waits as long as possible to certify the election so that Davis' staffers can erase hard drives, shred documents and sabotage the transition team's efforts to take over.

How much damage will be done and how much evidence will be destroyed?

Your Car Tax Just Tripled!

Thank you Gray Davis!

And before anyone bitches and moans about Gov. Wilson doing this, here's some background.

When the state is in good fiscal health, the car tax is offset. Means it's cheaper. But when the state is sick fiscally, the car tax offset is removed and the full car tax is in effect. It was Gov. Wilson's way to relieve some of the tax burden for ALL CALIFORNIANS. Even the slime sucking liberals who drive SUVs and oppose the "Oil War". You see a lot of these in San Francisco.

Gray Davis and Cruz Bustamante are the ones that took that full car tax (that went into effect when they sacked and pillaged the state treasury) and TRIPLED IT. They are the ones that did this. Not the Republicans or Gov. Wilson.

Bustamante at the beginning of the recall campaign actually tried to pin this on the Republicans and Gov. Wilson. Total bullshit. Just like Davis & Bustamante. And their lapdog Arianna (arf arf), who has shown her true colors when she announced she was pulling out of the race and now opposes the recall (perhaps because she had no chance of winning, so no one should win now?). What a hypocrite.

Another reason to vote "Yes on Recall" and for Ahnold!

Endorsements All Around!

The CRP has finally endorsed Arnold, along with the rest of the Republican universe.

They're endorsing the candidate that holds most of our views (cuz there's no such thing as a candidate that supports ALL your views unless you're running and looking into a mirror) and who, in an amazing twist, people know of him and like him!

Tom, you're future in the party and in politics here is getting darker and darker. If the recall passes and Bustamante gets in because the Republican vote is split, your future and the CRA's is in deep trouble. You're a good guy and your fiscal expertise is second to none. Why then are the democraps helping you?

Historical Retrospective

I currently live in the closest thing to the Fifth Column the USA has (excepting the People's Republic of Berkeley, which is too small to do serious damage), the Socialist Regime of San Francisco.

Over here in the SRSF, newspeak means saying NOTHING positive about Republicans or (either) President Bush. In fact, it often means slurring W in the worst ways, such as Bush = Hitler, Ashcroft = Hitler (how can they BOTH be Hitler, come on!), Condie Rice = House Slave, etc, etc.

I found this link on LGF that presupposed the thought, what if Bush really WAS Hitler? Scroll down about three paragraphs and start at "Don't Casually Call someone a Nazi".

Actually, sounds like what the liberals do figuratively to people and groups that disgree with their worldview here...very doubleplusungood.

9th Circuit Post Mortem

Adam Sparks, a Republican activist in San Francisco is a pretty decent writer. He has an op-ed column on SF Gate. In this week's column, he writes a pretty good summary on the 9th's messing around with the Recall and how that mens rea reflects what the liberals do in San Francisco.

Nice morning reading.

Bums in HKG

HK is a big city with a lot of people, well-off and not so well-off. And even though BWG is originally from Canada, I like to think of him as a "Heung-gong-yahn" because he lives there and seems to understand more about the city and it's people than I do.

One of the problems that SF shares with HK is the bum, I mean "homeless" problem. SF has this problem because it gives away taxpayer money with reckless abandon and there is no enforcement of the rules in place. It serves as a magnet for the homeless (lifestyle and otherwise) for the rest of the state and country.

HK has a different problem, that of organized bad guys/women using children as props (like here) and who dress the part then go home. BWG has the right idea in how to deal with them.

We should use his solution here too.
