I want that scumbag out of office for what he did during the CA energy crisis, which is absolutely nothing. This is the most anti-Californian president in a long time, and I want him gone.


What did you expect...none of you guys voted for him...payback time!

Yes, we should all vote for Bush, or else he'll let his energy company friends steal our money and tell FERC to stand back.

This guy should be in jail for racketeering.
I always thought that Davis mishandled the crisis. Bush doesn't have anything to lose in CA in terms of presidential politics, but plenty to lose in terms of congressional politics. Davis should have turned the power off in GOP controlled congressional districts, and the crisis would be over before it began. Sometimes I wish I was governor.

Actually he is having a hard time rasing money, COMPARED to others. I think Kerry will be a early lead and Edwards looks to be a VP for someone. I don't think he can go all the way. And I live in NC and voted for him.
I'm pretty sure Edwards was a top D Money Bringer. Perhaps the latest campaign finance reform laws turned the tables; it's been reported Edwards brought in a ton of "soft money" which is now formally a no-no.

I'll assume you didn't vote for Clinton for the same reason.

I didn't vote for Clinton because I wasn't 18 then.

California is run by left wing monkees so what do you expect, besides Great Davis is the one that screwed the pooch. He conspired to drive the energy bills up so the state of california could take over the power companies. He failed miserable in his attempt.

They had the gall to deregulate the wholesale supplier and yet have price controls on distributers (retailers). As soon as the wholesale price exceeded the set retail price the distributers began to lose there shirts.

Yes he was. California asked FERC to step in with regards to the deregulation issue long before Bush took office. It's a matter of public record. Look it up.

It was CA's crisis, he left it for the state to work out like they should had. Just shifting the blame from the CA dems to the republican in the White House arent' you?

Gore didn't stand a chance, anyway. While Bush has been running the country for the past few years with record approval ratings, Gore's only accomplishments were writing two books and making talk show apperiences. How can he win with a record like that?

That's kind of like the police saying they left it up to the criminal and the victim to work things out. It's FERC's job to prevent this type of market manipulation. FERC is staffed by Bush appointees, and they didn't do their job. Therefore blame belongs on Bush, and you are the one trying to shift it.

Who should we blame for FERC not doing their job in 2000 when your state was asking for their help?

You tell me why FERC didn't do it's job.

You didn't answer my question. Who shall we blame for FERC not doing it's job in 2000 before Bush was elected and before he appointed anyone to FERC?

Why, is this your entire defense of Bush? You try to point out that someone else has also done something wrong?

High temps in the summer. But in 2000 we had outtages, but prices did not escalate to thousands of dollars per megawatt, because FERC would have stepped in and not let it happen. In 2001 energy companies knew that FERC would stay away if they manipulated the market, and that's exactly what they did. There are tapes of energy execs saying it wouldn't be such a bad idea to keep plants offline a little longer.
Now you tell me why energy prices didn't explode in 2000, but did in 2001? 2001 was after tech industry was on the decline and summers wasn't as hot, yet we had prices explode through the roof.
Tell me why what hapenned in 2001 didn't happen in 2000? I think it had something to do with who became president in 2001.

Clinton was president during the california energy crisis as well. Bush did more than Clinton did. Clinton told Gray Davis to raise the cost of power and pass it on to consumers.

And Bush did what? Prices exploded in 2001, not 2000, even though 2000 also had blackouts and high demand. What did Bush do more?
