So why didn't Davis harp on Enron and energy?

[the_real_38]

Schwarzenegger is talking about privatizing the energy industry in California, and You can bet he's going to try and help them get out of that 9 billion dollar lawsuit that the state has levied against the company:

So why hasn't Davis been running ads on this - the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission found last year that these companies used pricing collusion to take the state for a (multi-billion dollar) ride?

The only thing I can think of is that Davis was too wounded in the scandal himself. Now he's stuck with this smear campaign - which is really over-the-top. It doesn't speak well of our party that the people at the top can't come up with something more appealing than s*** like this - bringing Hitler in, for Christ's sake. With this economy, and these right-wing fanatics driving the country to ruin, if we had decent leadership we'd be routing f***ers like Schwarzenegger. Instead, we're stuck sitting around talking about his ass-grabbing. Gray Davis is the kind of guy that needs to be run out of the party, and replaced by a real progressive.

1. Davis has the same problem nearly all Democrats have

Almost all Democrats are corporate-funded creatures, just like their Republican counterparts. Unless and until some way is found to get corporate money out of politics; our country will continue to be run by one of the two wings of the Property Party.

2. Honest Abe...

.... how true! Herbert Marcuse, the German philosopher who taught at San Diego State in the 60's (Reagan tried to have him fired) - called it a "fake dialectic", or "false choice".
