California - Grey Davis was sacrificed on the Enron altar. Don't let it happen to Obama
Advertisements [?]
When you think back, Enron gamed the electrical grid, backed by their Republican cronies like Phil Gramm and W. Then Republicans managed to use their (Enron) immoral, unethical, if not illegal practices to toss out a Democratic Governor who drew all the blame onto himself, throw the state in chaos, have a carnival of an election process, and then elect a COMPLETELY inexperienced actor/business to further the death spiral. TWICE.

And it really all can be traced back to the Commodities Futures Modernization Act. Amazing if you think about it. They screwed Grandma Millie to line their pockets and took down the 7th largest economy in the world. They always say, as goes California, goes the country. Words to think about. God, I hope not, but there are awful similarities.
