I always like to hear a politician giving their own personal opinion, especially one that they know isn't popular. Intergrity in politics?

"They have to take the opposite position."

No they don't. They can take the position they think is right.

His ass is out, I don't think he's bothering to run for reelection, and quite frankly, it was a farce that he was ever elected, that Grey Davis was ousted thanks to out-of-state cash, and that all this shit here has played out as long as it has...

The tea party is a a running joke. They were just a rag tag bunch of un-coordinated nutters who used the deadline to file a tax return to stand outside of the post office and protest the whole notion of taxes. They're a minority group, mostly tax-dodgers, probably a lot of mental illness like paranoid delusion, etc... No one really paid any attention to them... until Fox News decided to bring them to the mainstream by actually trying to organize events for them.

California's main problem is that CA's RNC is run by these tax activist nutters. They hold a very small minority of the legislature, but thanks to a very stupid 70's-era ballot proposal, tax code revisions need a supermajority to pass. The Californian economy is still one of the most productive in the world, but our antiquated tax code isn't allowing the state to get enough revenue to maintain operation.

The furloughs are a fucking joke too. My parents have friends who work for the state, and they now do friday's work on saturday - for overtime, which is costing the state even more. Thanks Arnold!
