Having lived through this once, I don't want to have to live through it again. You see, I remember what happened here in California in 2003. After 16 years of extreme Republican Governors-- George Deukmejian, who decided to make California the prison capital of the world, and Pete Wilson, supporter of Prop 187-- the Democrats finally regained the governor's office in 2000 with the election of Gray Davis.
Davis was a rising star in the Democratic Party and he did great things in terms of education and the environment. Unfortunately, the state had been gutted by the Republicans, the Dotcom bust was in full swing, and he was hobbled by a fake electricity crisis engineered by Enron. Any of this sound familiar?
Californian's were angry and Democrats were disappointed with Gray Davis, and that was all the opening the Republicans needed to remove him from office. It was Darrell Issa who led and bankrolled the California recall, spending over 1.6 million dollars of his own money. And because of Issa, California is in the worst shape ever. It's become a punchline to the rest of the world. Issa will do the same thing to the United States if we let him.
