Hear Me Now and Believe Me Later

Rush Limbaugh has been blasting Conan the Governor on his talk-radio program, and for good reason:

[H]e spoke in generalities and banalities about his plans for the state. To the extent that he said anything, he sounded not like a fiscal conservative but a moderate Democrat. He said that he wanted businesses to come back to California so that the state government could collect enough tax revenues to provide social programs. This is the sort of obtuse comment middle-of-the-road Democrats always make, forgetting that businesses are leaving the state because they are tired of paying high taxes for those big government social programs.

I wasn’t impressed either, especially when he starts going after the “special interests in Sacramento” that both parties are presumably captives of. Reminds me of a Jimmy Carter/Jesse Ventura kind of candidacy to me, where just as much will get accomplished. Republicans would be better off voting “no” on the recall and ditching the circus for an election that follow process rather than resembling a circus.
