Fundamental Polical Realignment

Ever since the defeat of Gray Davis *(who makes Kos's skin crawl)* I've been in a funk, especially about the future of Democratic political processes. The Party failed, again. Of course the Democratic Party in California is vestigal anyway. There is no serious functioning Democratic Party capable of sustaining itself against the kind of assault and onslaught launched by the recall advocates and eventually brought to a fine point by the Schwarzenegger juggernaut -- a juggernaut driven by a celebrity obsessed mainstream media and the 24 hour Hate Radio propaganda ministry.

Knowledge that Bill Lockyer voted for Schwarzenegger isn't all that surprising -- but it is still contemptible. We're seeing elected Dem after elected Dem slough off to support the Freak, or at the very least, refuse to oppose him. California's elected Dems are behaving the same way the Congressional Dems did when confronted with the Dubya installation. They are rolling over. Waiting for their tummy rub.

What the hell?
