San Francisco Swerves To The Right
In a sign of how far this city has fallen, San Francisco voters voted for N and against O. Public power was defeated and Newsom got almost 80% of the Marina vote. While many on the left keep repeating that it was obvious N would pass and we shouldn't feel too bad, what does this say about San Francisco?
As Newsom and his Republican backers crack open the Champaign to celebrate their victories in the US Congress, many poor families will go to sleep not knowing where their rent will now come from.
Who are these greedy bastards who funded a million dollar drive to demonize the homeless? Many were local Republican organizers and wealthy yuppies who rarely work, but many are the owners of the businesses we shop at every day. Every time you pay a PG&E check you know some of that money is going into the campaign to defeat public power. Every time you go out to a club or eat at a restaurant you could also be putting money into Newsom’s pocket (here is a list http://www.indybay.org/news/2002/09/146543.php). These same people will be spending the next year building Newsom up to be mayor, we need to start working to stop him now.
A look at those who attended Newsom’s and Feinstein’s rally gives a clue to where this city is headed. We may not have their money, but if we start now we may be able to keep Newsom from gaining even more power.
