San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom announced he was dropping out of the race to be California's next Governor. The New York Times said it best, “Newsom, 41, was unable to find the same popularity throughout California that he enjoys in his home city.” No kidding. However, former Democratic Governor and Mayor of Oakland, Jerry 1-800 Brown, is the expected frontrunner among his state’s donkeys.
Unfortunately, for California’s Republicans, Gov. Schwarzenegger has done to his state’s party what George W. Bush did to Republicans at a national level…destroyed any remaining vestige of credibility on fiscal or social matters. Schwarzenegger, ever ready to obliterate the thin veneer of difference separating Democrats from Republicans, was in Washington to help Vice President Joe Bien celebrate the measly 1 million jobs supposedly created by Obama’s $800 billion stimulus. No one, not even the press, bothered to mention that since last January, over half a million jobs have been lost every month. Eventually, servicing Obama’s stimulus and entitlement debt will add even higher numbers of unemployed to the bonfire.
The disintegration of the Golden State is a microcosm of things to come at the national level: voter moral confusion finds expression through equally confused politicians, followed by economic and eventually social collapse. The Tea Party better hurry and start fielding candidates before the ball of wax we call the United States of America melts into an amorphous blob. You would think Arnold and his fellow Republicans, instead of being co-opted by Obamaism, would be warning their fellow Americans of its impending Terminator-like judgment day.
