It takes some serious denial or reality or just outright stupidity to be a Republican these days. Or ever. When have the conservatives EVER been on the right side of an issue?

In Arnie's defense, California's fucked up ballot initiative system and other things are the reason the state is bankrupt.
I'm not big on being a republican apologist, but in Arnie's case he doesn't deserve (all) the blame.
I think if anything the current situation is a vindication for Gray Davis. California is pretty much ungovernable.
Unless property tax laws are changed, or until you can raise taxes with a simple majority in the legislature, California is going to continue to be fucked.
