Q: How do you think conservative talk radio has affected the Legislature’s work?Uh...no.
A: The Republicans were essentially threatened and terrorized against voting for revenue. Now [some] are facing recalls. They operate under a terrorist threat: “You vote for revenue and your career is over.” I don’t know why we allow that kind of terrorism to exist. I guess it’s about free speech, but it’s extremely unfair.
Number one, they weren't voting against "revenue", they were voting against "taxes". Secondly, it didn't take talk radio for the GOP to realize that supporting the pig of a budget proposed by the Democrats would cost them their jobs. The voters made it pretty clear they weren't interested in funding any more Sacramento folly, and that Republicans who supported it were going to be toast.
The Republicans in Sacramento may not be the brightest among us, but they're not stupid either.
