Where has all the money gone?
The Russel Blog suggests great disappointment with our legislature for their budget-blowing barbarianism. (strangely enough, Dictionary.com says that barbarianism is a word. News to me.)
"These don't seem like California's priorities to me. They more closely resemble the priorities of a short sighted legislature, where politicians are more worried about re-election, where re-election is controlled by special interests and big money and not by how well the people are served."
Welcome to the Republic. Short-sighted re-election worries keep our country on its feet. Combine this with "the recall is an assault on democracy," and Georgy shows a suprising lack of knowledge about government in general.
But unless she's proposing a dictatorship (which may be the case... is it?), I fail to see how her governorship is going to do anything about this. If anything, it'll make the legislature feel more comfortable going willy-nilly on the silly-milly with an unconnected prog in office.
Anyone can complain about how badly things are being done. I do it all the time. It's FUN! But I'm not running for governor. Georgy is. She's going to have to come up with solutions, not just complaints, if she wants to be a good governor. If it's just complaining she wants to do, there's no need to run for office. A monkey could do the governor's job, if there aren't going to be any good alternative solutions. (deja vu)
How is Georgy Russell going to deal with the special-interest-ruled legislature? Lapdances for candidates who vote her way? Cuteness is on the platform, after all. She may as well use it.
