Helldog, I know it is really early in the morning... or maybe really late at night depending on how late you have been working... but I meant what I said.
Everybody blasts the Governor for not being Republican enough, and often times with good reason. But the Senate is overwhelmingly Republican and yet we get shit like the Sexual Orientation Non-Discrimination Act, the Assault Weapons Ban, Rent Control, tax increases, overrides of the Governor's budget vetoes, medicaid funding for abortion and lord knows what other liberal laws.
So, yes, I meant it when I called the Republican conference in the legislature "Shelly Silver Republicans." It is a phrase I coined in disgust and is actually gaining popularity in political circles.
