re: #18 Absalom, Absalom, Obdicut

What the hell are you asking me if I disagree for? Have I said anything that sounds like disagreement?

Rhetorical, mostly. I thought you might have something to say about the budget.

And why are you pretending I said anything about Northern Dems? Reread what the hell I said. I said “That there are Democrats in California who are more ‘liberal’ doesn’t detract from that at all.”

I referred to the more powerful legislators, who are up north and you seem to refer to them as a few individuals. Sure they are individuals, individuals that are power brokers and legislators.

How on earth, from that, do you get me assessing the northern California Democrats (no clue why you’re leaving out the very liberal LA democrats, either) differently from you?

Nothing more than the impression I get from your entries.

LA liberals? SoCal is not the power base, up north is. Thats my conclusion from my own reading, mostly LA Times. Looked at committee heads etc.
In the context of this state fiscal policy topic.
