The Acid Reflux Candidate

The California Attorney General has been making news lately. It should be understood that he is running for Governor and like all of his other stints in elective office, he always thinks about politics first. Initially Brown seems to be the front runner. I suspect that when Californians have a chance to think about the possibilities they will not be ready to see him back into the Governor's chair.

Think back to the thrilling days of Moonbeam - The Rose Bird Court, his odd and curious transportation expert who helped to create gridlock and who thought it was great public policy to allow infrastructure deteriorate and his numerous other flights of fancy during his eight years as Governor. It will give you a good idea about how he would govern if he were elected again.

Moonbeam is a self proclaimed intellectual who had a devil of a time passing the bar. His absurd arguments against Proposition 8 seem more motivated by politics than the law. No, Marriage, is not an inalienable right. Yes, on every issue where voters or legislators pass a measure - they discriminate against a minority. Let's hope the voters will not accept his shallow ravings again.
