I know enough to dispute this at the federal level (I believe it shared responsibility between both parties but that it started with policies made during the Carter years, but that obviously isn't the subject of this thread), but not knowing the CA political structure, have the republicans controlled anything in CA for a while? I suspect they haven't but I don't know, so it's an honest question.

Perhaps. But I was refering to the people who spearheaded the recall, and who did everything they could to demonize Davis because he was a Democrat.

Oh please... The Rebublicans got their wet dream of an unregulated market; and now we are all paying the price.
