FLASHREPORT

Lets be grown ups here! Most people in California can only read the words "food stamps". The educational system is so pathetic it has given us a couple generations of undereducated citizens incapable of even opening a checking account at a bonafide financial institution.

The Republican Party must have a massive and continuing program to show citizens cause and effect....why California ain't workin!

A prime example: Liberals always want to shutter state parks for the masses, a drama unfolding annually as a diversion from funding unions, college and school administrators, government worker pensions and the lovable enviro whackos. Of course, they blame it on the dementia/daft Republicans who do not have a "rapid response system" to counter liberal smears, stigmatizing and propaganda...

What is to be done....when Republicans learn there is a communication world out there beyond their Apple IIE, 128k ram computer....things might change!

Honestly I dont think Republicans will vote for Perez, they have an aversion for voting for anything positive for the LGBT community in California even if Perez and his lieutenants want to offer glittering prizes to Republicans for voting for him.

Unless DeLeon wants to run a coup where the Republicans would share governance like how Willie Brown stole the speakership in 1995, but that is not likely either.

Republicans are going to need to have a Contract with California on economics and structure of our state government in the next 2 elections. Tell Californians WHY we should be in power.

Yes, we need to put advertisements on how California is broken and how we will fix it.

We need to work on getting the districts we used to represent since 1996 back to our column so we can have the opportunity to choose who would be speaker.

You will see in 2010 what ends the Democratic majority will go to get taxes raised....sales tax(permanently), gas and carbon fees as well as some gimmicky parcel tax for commercial properties.

Your dealing with an unhinged fanatical majority, a cult-style kabal that has not been seen in politics since communisim-lite in Eastern Europe.

Expect to see less consumer choices, stunted demand for middle class-style goods and services; retail, tourism and retail food businesses will have to lay of thousands and thousands of ball cap and apron employees.

Resiliant Californians will hunker down, spend discretionary dollars keeping gas tanks full, slog on through the traffic to work, listen to talk radio, eat their porridge for supper watching O'Reilly and many will read books about the STAMP ACT, Bunker Hill and the BOSTON HARBOR TEA PARTY lent out by local libraries...

For the unemployed, minorities, immigrants, the sick, seniors on limited resources, the young getting trying to get educated it ain't gonna be pretty. It will come down to the Sacramento kabal vs their so called constituents for existence. Now that will be a phenomena to watch closely!

Remember Perez is gay, so what will he offer a Republican Assemblyman?

That comment is open to quite a few jokes. Seriously, the Speaker has a lot of power that goes beyond political issues and for members not to participate in a discussion and election that revolves around how the body is run is just dereliction of duty and in the end, I don't think most voters will appreciate them not doing their jobs. jmo!
