<<Maybe Bush doesn't see any political benefit to help a state so opposed to his point of view.>> It is just stunning to me that you believe it is OK for Bush not to help a state because they have voted for the other party in their elections. But I do believe both that you believe that this is right and that Bush does what he does for the reasons you suggest (in addition to helping his friends). Somehow, I dimly recall Bush saying that he would be the President for "all" Americans, not just those who voted for him. Oh well, guess he had his fingers crossed. If just some of the allegations about El Paso Power, Enron, and the CA utilities are correct, if they have in fact sprung a trap into which the state has fallen--and if it can be proven somehow--then this whole affair will go down as one of the most corrupt scandels since... well who knows since when.

"Maybe Bush doesn't see any political benefit to help a state so opposed to his point of view. When you look at the make-up of this state and our legacy, who could blame Bush for looking the other way. The blame rests squarely on the people of California. " If what you said in your above statement is true, then we will have just cause to remove Bush from office. He took the oath of office to represent ALL the citizens to the best of his ability. To argue Bush's removal please go to the "Impeach Bush "thread. Subject 50428 I would support the Ca. Governor's use of "eminent domain" to regain control of our power sources. We need to take back all the power plants that were sold to private industry after the sham deregulation law was passed. Let Enron, Duke and the rest of the crooks pick on the other states. At that point we could assess the need for nuclear plants or whatever was needed. ALL the power produced in this state is not being used in this state. It's being sold to the highest bidder on the Houston spot market.
