Bush Energy Policy in California. After Bush took power and his cronies robbed and gouged California of tens of billions using the excuse of phony shortages in electricity, natural gas and gasoline at the same time (now gluts of supply), Bush fat cat friends (not very fat from their recent windfall profits at our expense) spend record amounts on disinformation ads to try and blind California voters. This is the Bush policy in California, steal as much as you can then use some of the money to pollute the airwaves with false advertising and scapegoat someone else. "Davis, who faces reelection next year, took the offensive against the Bush administration in May, publicly shellacking the president during his visit to California. Davis has said that the state is "at war with greedy power generators from Texas." In the June 11 Los Angeles Times he said, "The name of this game is leverage. If you don't have leverage over these cowboys, they will steal you blind." (boy did he hit the nail on the head) Now that Davis has kicked off his gubernatorial race by running against Bush, the Bush team is returning fire. In California, a new group called the American Taxpayers Alliance, with strong ties to both the RNC and power generators, is planning to spend up to $25 million in advertising against Davis on the energy issue. A key contributor to the group is Reliant Energy, a Texas corporation led by Bush's recount man, James Baker III, and Steve Letbetter, a major Bush-Cheney campaign fundraiser." (American Taxpayers is the creepiest use of soft money imaginable, never identify themselves but spend 25 million on negative attack ads posing as some kind of citizens group. With campaign finance reform this kind of trash which pollute democracy would be minimized).
